A play TOWER/lookout platform!

Check out this lil' (well, not-so-little) clubhouse/playhouse. This one was photographed by Holly Gomez, who runs the ever-cool/fun blog A PLACE IMAGINED. Definitely check her out, and her playhouse work.

Part treehouse (notice the stabilizing joist), part tower (a la fire lookout towers)- ALL cool....

A treehouse with a deck, loft, and woodstove...






While built for adults, and as a vacation camp/cabin getaway, this treehouse is still but a fort for adults- kid at heart one's too! I believe this tree cabin is in one of the Pete Nelson treehouse books, and its got a woodstove, a loft bed, and even a little deck- which I'm sure leads to an amazing view!

A tiny treehouse/ice fishing hut/shanty in a tree


I love seeing this kind of stuff, and while I didn't personally take this roadside photo, the thought of some passersby randomly coming across something like this is just fun- and its the reason I try to bring my camera with me wherever I go. It almost looks like someone took an ice fishing shanty, and perched it atop a pole so as to make it more or less a "tree" house.
