True treehouses

Hemloft
A finely finished treehouse built in secret in the forests near Whistler in Canada. Since its revelation, the Hemloft is being moved to Canada Wilderness Adventures as part of their collection of recycled buildings.

Corbin Dunn's treehouse
An amply equipped treehouse built 25 feet from the ground on a hill in Santa Cruz, California. Corbin used to live there full time but the treehouse has since collapsed.

Ken Godfrey's treehouse
Cable supported structure with a range of hardware examples to reference and useful detail in the photos and notes.

Gusick treehouse
Two treehouses in small trees, built over a few weekends.

The Korowai
Documentary of native peoples' treehouses. These are the most extreme and amazing treehouses you are likely to see! They cling up to 25m/82ft high in gravity defying perches on top of trees that seem barely able to carry their load. Yet the Korowai actually live and carry out their daily lives in these outstanding places. Make sure to click on 'Slideshow'.

Finca Bellavista
An ever-increasing collection of treehouses built in Costa Rican rainforest. The project is run as a residential development with building lots for sale, as well as accommodation for visitors. Only treehouses are allowed to be built, to preserve the structure and ecosystems of the rainforest. Electrical power comes from solar and a hydro system. Internet and drinking water connections are provided to each lot.
