Additional Questions
Do You Sell Do-it-Yourself Treehouse Kits or Plans?
We do not sell plans or kits because each site and situation is very different. Additionally, as artisans, we design and handcraft each treehouse custom for every client–for their style, preferences, and needs. Also, it is rare that we will build an Airbnb-type vacation rental because our heart’s desire is to craft the place for a lifetime of unforgettable experiences for our private clients on their own personal Western NC property.
Are You Insured?
As a professional builder, we are covered by liability insurance, as are our contract workers.
How Long Does it Take to Build a Treehouse?
Depending on size, detail, and complexity, it can take anywhere from three months to a year for us to build a custom luxury treehouse. Is it a cozy, adults-only romantic getaway you want? A remote, peaceful hideaway? A larger-than-life fairytale edifice with breathtaking views and a swinging bridge? Will the living space be large and bright or quirky and cozy? Will your new treehouse stand simple in the beauty of its construction, or will it include a kitchenette or full kitchen, partial or full bathroom with soaking tub, heated floors, wood stove, or sleeping perch complete with kingsize bed and a balcony? Many of these amenities and design factors will be the result of owner, designer and lead builder, Adam Laufer’s ingenuity and appropriate application of your needs to your specific site. Adam designs by listening to each client, but also to the trees and what the land is offering up.
