Carpenter builds his fiancé a dreamy treehouse getaway

Dave Herrle and his wife standing outside of their beautiful treehouse. All of the lumber was milled locally and the windows and doors came from salvage yards. Located in the middle of the forest and perched over a hillside, Herrle built the balcony around existing trees.

Inside, exposed wooden beams reinforce the treehouse vibes while numerous windows bring the scenic outdoors inside. A rustic ladder leads to the loft bedroom located above the kitchen.

Here is another view of the kitchen, which is equipped with a sink and two-burner stovetop. Since upper cabinetry would make the small space feel cramped, Herrle installed open shelving and hooks to store dishes, pots, and pans.

We love this colourful ceramic sink! If you want to add some personality to your kitchen, swap out your boring old stainless sink for one with an artistic pattern.

Romantic newlywed bubble baths will have to take place at the main house! This retreat’s bathroom only features a humble toilet. Meanwhile, a built-in wooden shelf displays family photos and tiny ceramic plates.

Unlike your traditional treehouse, this one doesn’t require you to climb a ladder to get to the front door.
