Birds and their desire to settle on tree branches stem from a combination of factors, says Pete Nelson, who is largely credited with sparking the tree house trend as star of the hit reality TV series. Treehouse Masters, and now with Nelson Treehouse and Supply, a designer and builder for both private clients and resorts. He believes that at its core is an urge to escape completely, not just from ordinary life, but from nature specifically. “We all know the incredible peace we feel when we enter the forest. Treehouses offer an immersive experience, but they require a phone connection,” he says. “They are not just in nature, they are structurally part of nature. When you start climbing, you enter a completely different place from the rest of the world. So you can become disconnected from what is weighing you down. I read that when you climb a tree, your heart rate drops immediately. This is because potential dangers can be seen and predicted from the trees. It’s a primal and deeply comforting feeling.”
Of course, it also has a novel charm. Travelers break away from ordinary thoughts and habits and seek unusual adventures, and things like sleeping on the edge of a mountain, roaming wild animals, and crashing waves are all out of the ordinary. “It’s kind of a fantasy,” says Nelson, who built and operates TreeHouse Point, a B&B retreat with seven high-rise homes just outside Seattle. “As a child, the treehouse was the first place you could call your own. In a way, this old bunkhouse allows adults to revisit the joy of having their own little corner of the world. “It’s a mix of the playful, the dangerous, the personal, the nostalgic and the joyous.”
But even as today's resort treehouses fully embrace the wilderness, they don't skimp on indulgence. Featuring stunning, thoughtful architecture, luxurious beds, fireplaces, large bathrooms, amazing locations, spectacular views, and even individually integrated technology within the tree-hugging interior, you'll be able to fully enjoy music and more. This stunning fortress balances simplicity and seriousness. Let them do whatever they want. Nelson points out that you don't have to abandon your creature comforts to connect with the creatures of the forest. “I regularly build multi-million dollar spaces with all the decorations,” he says. “People want to be deeply connected to the natural world, but they also want luxurious comfort. We are installing high-end kitchens, luxurious bathrooms and more. But we’re doing it in an ecologically sound way.”
In fact, one of Nelson's strongest drivers for building these structures is environmental friendliness. “We work around the natural world, incorporating existing branches, trunks and clearings into our designs,” says Nelson. Luxury requires being kind to the land, and Tree House Resort exemplifies that spirit. This is a testament to the potential we have to walk lightly while living a truly big life.
Blackberry Mountain, based in Walland, Tennessee, has 14 tree houses with simple, black wood exteriors that do not face the natural beauty of the forest. The point is to completely respect, respect and give love to the surrounding landscape. “Our treehouses are designed to fit together perfectly from the outside to the inside,” explains Mary Celeste Beall, owner of Blackberry Mountain. She says, “The white oak walls and floors create a continuity of natural elements, and the floor-to-ceiling windows create the feeling of floating above the wood.”
