This had to be a labor of love and can't be given true perspective via pictures or videos. The state has closed the attraction from formal use but we took the leap really enjoyed this unique attraction. Kids will need supervision climbing through very stout construction with exception of the bottom floor decking that was exposed to regular weather. It will take you a 1/2 hour to 45 minutes to see.
This was a scary endeavor, to jump a fence and walk past signs damning you to jail. It was worth it. We went on a Monday morning in November and there was no one there. After watching many scary movies, I would occasionally get brain flash that some scary thing would be behind the next turn, but overall it was eerily peaceful and amazing. I didn't go all the way to the top, but my partner in crime did and the picture is gorgeous. This is well worth the risk and your adrenaline just adds to the memory!
We went twice this weekend because I forgot to drop money in the box the first time and the owner definitely deserves a donation for this awesome place. You can spend an hour here exploring the "treehouse." You can climb to the top and ring the bells and don't miss riding the swing. There is a new no trespassing sign (a government sign; from everything I've read the owner wants to share this place, which is a church) but thankfully that doesn't keep everyone out. It certainly wasn't crowded, though. Maybe 10 other people both times we went. The place is sturdy, but not for small children.
We were the only people on the property when we arrived and after some discussion decided to go ahead and jump the fence to get closer to the tree house. We spent about 30 minutes climbing and exploring.....there were some spots that made me nervous, but in the end I'm glad we did it. If you are anywhere near the area, this is well worth the detour to visit. It's very easy to find from the highway and there was only one other group of visitors the entire time we were there.
The tree house is closed with a no trespassing sign posted. If you drive up the dirtroad where it's located, you can only see a small glimpse of the top of the treehouse.
We and few other couples went for it... Owner is nicest guy... If you pass this up, you'll REGRET IT!
This place is incredible. The craftsmanship and the detail are really something to see. It's a shame the state and local government don't want this place open for the public to visit.
Jump the fence! We went to the very top and the view was amazing! Just watch where you step... And don't forget to try the swing!
This is AMAZING! The treehouse is the largest treehouse in the world and it has dozens of rooms and like 10 stories of interesting artwork and history.
A great place to spend some time exploring. Many many steps to different levels. Climb to the top and see forever.
