Each Tree house has been architecturally designed and guests have the choice of 6 absolutely unique tree houses, all about 4 - 6 metres above ground, surrounded by pine trees and with spectacular views of the Lule River.

Not only are the exteriors unique - the interior finishes are also custom designed. Click through our gallery below to get a sense of how the pared back ethos enables the natural environment to be the main feature.
The Treehotel has been designed to be integrated in it's stunning surroundings with a minimal environmental footprint - but providing it's guests with intimate and sophisticated interiors.

The founders of Treehotel, Kent and Britta, were inspired by a movie "The Tree Lover" filmed in Harads, where urban men rediscover their roots through the process of building a treehouse together - at the same time the film raises philosophical questions on the tree's importance to people both historically and culturally.

We feel that everyone needs a Treehouse in their life at some point!
We'd love to hear from you if you have your own Treehouse, or if you have been inspired to create a hide-away in your back yard. Who knows - maybe we can feature some home-grown Treehouses in a future blog post, we look forward to your comments!
