Located in Crossville, Tennessee, this treehouse took Horace Burgess 14 years to build it around an 80-foot-tall white oak tree, with a diameter of 12 feet. Six other strong trees that act like natural pillars support the 97-feet-tall wooden edifice. Burgess started working on this huge treehouse after he had a vision back in 1993. The treehouse has 10 floors, averaging 9 to 11 feet in height with an estimated 8,000 to 10,000 square feet. This 56-year-old landscape architect used about 258,000 nails in this structure and $12,000 to construct it.

Talk about blending in with nature, the Mirror Cube Tree Hotel in Sweden certainly does! This hotel is literally a “tree house” that is completely covered in mirror so it can reflect its surroundings.
It’s a 4m by 4m by 4m aluminium cube covered in mirrored glass hung round a tree trunk. Once it’s in place, it simply disappears into the forest. The panoramic views from the windows must be absolutely stunning.
Designed by Tham & Videgård Arkitekter, the cube is a treehouse for two people, with room for a kitchenette, bathroom, bedroom and roof terrace. None of the pictures show how you actually get into the cube but rope ladders and bridges are mentioned in the blurb.
