Living in a Treehouse: 7 Places That Fulfill Your Childhood Dream

As kids, most of us relished the thought of a treehouse hideaway, where we could escape from chores and parents and live in nature Huckleberry Finn-style. Now that we’re adults, there are Airbnbs, luxury tree hotels, and back-to-basics tree homes that make this dream a reality. Sometimes being a grown-up is seriously awesome.

You may not be able to live in this treehouse, but you can get married in it. TreeHouse Point, built by Pete Nelson in Fall City, Washington is an event space that hosts weddings and other parties.
