Treehouses: Free Spirit Spheres

The Melody Sphere at Free Spirit Spheres Vancouver Island

How great are these Globe tree houses? They are called Free Spirit Spheres and are  set among the tall trees of the west coast rainforest of Vancouver Island, Canada. What makes these beautiful Sphere treehouses even better is that they are also holiday lets :)

"The motion in a sphere is a slow gentle rocking when the wind blows. The rope tethers are almost vertical which lets the treetops move considerably while hardly moving the sphere at all. The sphere movement is a muted average of the movement of the 3 treetops. When another body inside a sphere shifts his/her weight the motion is abrupt. This is because the mass of the sphere is low. "

... sounds heavenly doesn't it?

Secret Canadian TreeHouse :The HemLoft

The HemLoft: This beautiful Treehouse is in a secret Location in the Canadian woodlands

This 'secret' treehouse is an illegally built haven in Whistler, Canada built by carpenter Joel Alan. A labour of love costing $6000 to build, using reclaimed materials and taking months to find just the right tree, i am sure you will agree The HemLoft is the perfect treehouse getaway.

"The HemLoft is a self-funded secret creation that built on crown land in Whistler, Canada. It hangs on a precipitous slope, in a towering stand of hemlocks, about a five minute walk from the nearest road. When I started building it, I was just a fledgling carpenter, living out of my car. Building an experimental orb deep in the woods, with no electrical power, isn’t the recommended way to ease yourself into carpentry. However, I was armed with a couple of the most powerful tools a carpenter can have: blind naiveté and supreme determination."

I  found out about Taylor Camp a few weeks ago via Prism of Threads blog and have been reading about it ever since.

"Taylor Camp was born in the spring of 1969 when artist / oceanographer Howard Taylor (brother of actress Elizabeth) bailed out of jail a rag-tag band of young mainlanders arrested for vagrancy and invited them to live on his land; thus setting off immigrating waves of hippies, surfers, seekers and psychologically scarred Vietnam vets to Kauai’s North Shore.
Condemned by the State in 1977, government workers torched the camp before the last resident moved out, leaving behind ashes and magical memories of “the best days of our lives”.

Massive respect to owners Chrissie Bradley and Chris LaBreche, this is one awesome abode :)

I have been thinking more about where I would like to awake from my hibernation. I have dwindled it down to any of the above!

So where would you like to wake up after hibernating? 

Help me build an Ewok village?

Okay, so realistically it's not going to happen, but it would be so much fun wouldn't it?

Hope you all have a great weekend

Can I live in a tree please?

Okay, I have been told it is weird, and I do know that I am not an Ewok,  and I am not staring in Robin hood prince of thieves or a lost boy from Hook, But I so wish I was!!

I have always wanted to live in a tree.
