Treehouses and Tree House Plans

If you are looking for that extra-special tree house, you are sure to find some great ideas here! From a treeless tree house to treehouse kits - here are some of the best tree houses around!

OK...it's not exactly a treehouse, but it is treehouse-like. The Up, Up and Away Playhouse from Spirit Elements is a great playhouse made of kiln-dried pine. It is panelized for easy construction and made from very high-quality materials! It comes with a 2' porch, and is raised 4' off the ground.
The Believer Custom Tree House is truly incredible! It comes with its own tree! Now you can have a real treehouse in your back yard, no matter what size you trees are, or if you have any at all! Completely hand-made, the Believer has a treehouse atop of its own hollowed-out log. Enter through the hand-carved tree trunk door and climb up into your own imagination! The Believer’s whimsical design is perfect for inspiring endless hours of play. Although listed under "Playhouse kits" on the website, the Believer Custom Tree House actually comes to you delivered in only 2 pieces - a completely assembled club house, and the log base. Unbelievable!
Not to be outdone, next is The Bungaloo Custom Tree House. A fabulous treehouse that also comes with its own tree, the Bungaloo is actually built on a recycled log base - a real fallen oak, pine or eucalyptus tree that has been hollowed out with a chainsaw - log door included! The average size of each log base is 4' in diameter by 6 1/2' tall between 2,500 and 3,500 lbs. That's when you can really use the free shipping deal!
The Magic Mansion Treehouse may very well be the ULTIMATE treehouse! It, too, comes with its own tree, just as the Bungaloo Custom Tree House. In addition, it features a rear swing, balcony, curved slide, roof dormer window, tire swing, monkey bars, log window, and a rust accent package. Due to its size and weight, the Magic Mansion ships on a flatbed trailer in two pieces: the clubhouse and the log. To unload these pieces, you must supply heavy equipment such as a forklift or crane. How's that for a treehouse?!
