[Explore] Not Your Neighbor’s Treehouse

If there was one, ultimate takeaway from the 1960 hit film, Swiss Family Robinson, it was that treehouses are not only cool as all frickin’ heck, but also a viable means of shelter. The good news is you don’t need to be stranded on a deserted island after a shipwreck or a child below the age of 13, to bring your dream of living in a treehouse to life. We spent the last few months climbing through the brush, dangling from less-than-stable tree limbs, and peering through binoculars, in search the raddest known treehouses on Earth.

We’re pleased to say we found six of these upper deck forts—all of which are 100% available for rent, year-round.
