These contemporary treehouses range from secluded forest retreats to modern resorts that aim to connect travelers with nature. Standouts from this list include the Tree-Top Hotel, a modern and mirror-accented structure that reflects a forest's scenery on its facade.
The contemporary treehouse appears invisible from afar but is solid when viewed at close range. Its cube shape is structurally sound and spacious for travelers with an interest in connecting with nature.
Another winning example from this list is the Children's Treehouse concept by Blue Forest. The British design studio revamps the idea of a traditional kids' clubhouse and creates a child's dream play space. The end result is a charming structure that resembles something out of a whimsical fairy tale and is sure to make any child happy.
