12 Of The World’s Coolest Tree Houses You Can Visit

As a child, I dreamt of having my own tree house.

There were just two tiny, tiny problems. First, my dad did not have the carpentry skills necessary to build a tree house. The other tiny problem? We did not really have a big tree in our backyard. Suffice to say, I had to say goodbye to my dream of owning a tree house.

Now that I’m an adult, I’m still dreaming of having my own tree house! Having Pinterest at the tip of my fingers didn’t help — if anything, it just leaves me drooling all the time. I’m sure these super cool tree houses will leave you feeling the same!

1. Yellow Tree House Restaurant

Auckland, New Zealand

If you think tree houses are primitive, then you need to rethink your life decisions. The Yellow Tree House Restaurant in New Zealand looks every inch an upscale and sophisticated structure. The restaurant, which uses poplar and redwood slats, allows for generous natural lighting to go through and produces a smaller carbon footprint.

2. Tea House Tetsu

Hokuto, Japan

I’m under the impression that everything in Japan is pretty. I mean, look at this tree house. Isn’t it the prettiest thing you’ve ever seen? This tree house is minimalist, just like a typical Japanese home, and the cherry blossoms make the place look extra inviting.

3. Green Village Bamboo House

Bali, Indonesia

Bali is known for its resorts and natural sanctuaries, and this bamboo tree house is undoubtedly no exception. This building, which is called Sharma Springs, has five floors and can accommodate up to 10 guests!

4. Villa Pererepan

Bali, Indonesia

This is not a drill! This tree house does come with its very own swimming pool! If you’re the type to find relaxation surrounded by flora and fauna, then you absolutely must pay Villa Pererepan a visit.

5. The Sustainability Tree House

West Virginia, USA

Can you believe that this 38-metre high tree house is used to host American Boy Scouts’ Jamboree? Sign me up, ASAP! The Sustainability Treehouse, located in rural West Virginia, is designed to be self-sufficient and is able to generate its own electricity, heating, and water!

6. Wilkinson Residence

Portland, Oregon, USA

Robert Harvey Oshatz’s tree house brings together a perfect mix of contemporary and whimsical! With its glass walls and curved details, I can safely assume that this is unlike any other.
