Your very own treehouse is a place to escape from it all, slow the pace of life and enjoy the quiet moments. Using a traditional handmade netting needle, our team painstakingly created lashing for the side-nets that act as railings for the bridge to this custom, vintage-rustic treehouse in Western North Carolina. World Treehouses creates one-of-a-kind treehouses for property owners in the Asheville, North Carolina area and beyond. Contact us today for a site visit and to discuss your treehouse dreams.
Read MoreWe're please to announce that Shinrin-yoku, a new retreat in the trees is nearly completed. Located in the lush forests of Western North Carolina, this project was crafted using timber frame building techniques, a style of building in the trees that our World Treehouses of Asheville NC team is employing more and more. The atmosphere of the natural world that the timbers and precision, old-style craftsman joinery create pays homage to the inner beauty and sacrifice of the generous trees themselves.
Our World Treehouses of Asheville, NC team can build you a luxury treehouse or a custom platform, bridge or other tree project for living, playing, meditating, community gatherings, connecting with nature, or all of the above. Please contact us to connect about treehouses, site selection, or another project on your land. We look forward to hearing from you!

Read MoreTimber framing in the timbers themselves. What better way to celebrate and honor the beauty of trees than to return to the timeless craftsmanship methods of our ancestors? The majority of our current project – the Shinrin-yoku treehouse – is crafted using time-tested timber frame building techniques. This is a new skill for the World Treehouses of Asheville NC team, and we (and our clients) love the texture and solidity of this ancient builders’ art. Showcasing the wood itself, its textures and colors, the feeling of the natural world that these timbers evoke pays homage to the inner beauty and sacrifice of the trees themselves.
Do the living chestnut oaks holding our “forest bathing” treehouse sense that a treehouse designed to honor their strong gifts to humanity – our love letter to the forest – is being nestled into their sturdy branches?
