Mountain Treehouse

The goal of this project was to blend it into the woods and make it look like mountain men built it. Well, we're not mountain men, but we use a lot of the same techniques. Almost all of the lumber was rough sawn. A dark stain blends the walls & railings into the woods.

Mountain Treehouse Retreat

A custom star-shaped window facing the front porch, commissioned by the customer, completes this woodland retreat.

Single Stringer Staircase

All the hard work put into the stairs paid off with a rock-solid and level oak stair treads.

Windows with Forest View

One corner of the house has several windows close together to provide a wide angle view of the surrounding woods

Railing posts

These round posts and spindles around the deck actually came from Michigan, but they look like they could have been taken from the surrounding countryside.

Wrap Around Porch

The platform deck wraps 3/4 of the way around the house and has plenty of space for table and chairs on the front side to relax and enjoy the view into the wilderness, but not to be too far from the main home on the property.

About This Treehouse

The goal for this project was to use rough-sawn materials and make it look rugged like it belongs in the mountains. We made thicker pine board live edge siding and installed it over a rough-sawn oak timber frame. The stairs were one of our creative ideas - things that make tree houses different from ground houses. We crafted a star-shaped window and carved a dragon's head into the extended ridge. We could have built something this same size for less money, but when a client gives us the budget to cut loose and focus on woodworking, we can create high-end work and finishing details.

  • Platform construction is underway; the siding and railings receive an initial coat of stain prior to installation

    Tree Platform Installation

  • This large red heart cedar tree trunk is becoming the stairway up to the house. Lots of measuring and precision chainsaw wielding is needed to ensure the stair treads are even and level.

    Tree Trunk Staircase

  • With the house framing mostly complete, the project is really starting to take shape. We wrapped the rim joists with rough sawn pine to match the siding and blend in better.

    Framing the Treehouse

  • The trees are not exactly in a square formation, but we marked off a square section for the house and the resulting deck space varied in width at different parts of the platform.
