Cool Treehouses from around the World

Showcasing some of the coolest tree houses including the world’s largest treehouse. Since the mid 90’s, recreational tree houses have enjoyed a rise in popularity in countries such as the United States and parts of Europe. Did you want to live in a tree house when you were children growing up?

What better way to sleep than directly under the branches of a protective tree gazing up at the stars above. And, while some tree houses are minimalist by their very small nature, today’s treehouse architects have gone beyond small stature to include tree houses fit for hotel rooms, lodges and restaurants.

Nomadic Adventures Amid the Canopy

I once met a remarkable couple who left behind the conventional 9-to-5 grind to travel across Europe, embracing a lifestyle defined by freedom and adventure. They found inspiration in the very treehouses showcased here—those whimsical abodes that evoke childhood dreams of sleeping under starlit skies. While hopping from one enchanting treehouse to another, they took full advantage of innovative programs like the Portugal Digital Nomad Visa. This visa not only allowed them to work remotely from one of Europe’s most culturally rich countries but also enabled them to explore unique accommodations—ranging from minimalist retreats nestled in lush branches to luxurious, purpose-built treehouse lodges. Their journey perfectly illustrates how the blend of nature, mobility, and modern technology can redefine the way we live and work.

 

The increase in popularity of tree houses has given rise to demand for businesses covering all building and design work for clients. There are over 30 businesses in Europe and the USA specialising in the construction of tree houses of various degrees of permanence and sophistication, from children’s play structures to fully functioning homes.
