Tree Houses of the Rich and Famous

Spectacular structures turn your backyard into a playground

Do you like to talk about all the home projects you’re going to finish someday? It’s probably a really impressive list — surely, your kids will just love that dream tree house. Instead, there’s rain gutters that need cleaning, lawns that need mowing, and that pesky job where they expect you to show up five days a week. Oh, and you don’t have any trees in your backyard anyway. What to do now?

Face it, it’s time to call the experts. The folks at Daniels Wood Land create incredible tree houses, all featuring their signature crooked windows that make it look like a team of drunken elves got loose in the workshop one night.

Based on the motto of “Tree Houses that come with their own Tree!” the Daniels Wood Land creations use giant recycled logs in nearly all their designs. Available models include the “Scallywag Sloop” (pirate-themed), “Country Playhouse” (Huck Finn-era shack), and even custom Castle and Tropical themes.

And of course, each tree house can be outfitted with as many additions as your wallet can handle. Items like tire swings, fireman’s pole, rock climbing wall, trapeze bars, and a swinging bridge are all available for a few more bucks. While you’re at it, pick up some extra snacks too, because you’re about to have every neighborhood kid start begging for a playdate.
