Secret Canadian TreeHouse :The HemLoft

The HemLoft: This beautiful Treehouse is in a secret Location in the Canadian woodlands

This 'secret' treehouse is an illegally built haven in Whistler, Canada built by carpenter Joel Alan. A labour of love costing $6000 to build, using reclaimed materials and taking months to find just the right tree, i am sure you will agree The HemLoft is the perfect treehouse getaway.

"The HemLoft is a self-funded secret creation that built on crown land in Whistler, Canada. It hangs on a precipitous slope, in a towering stand of hemlocks, about a five minute walk from the nearest road. When I started building it, I was just a fledgling carpenter, living out of my car. Building an experimental orb deep in the woods, with no electrical power, isn’t the recommended way to ease yourself into carpentry. However, I was armed with a couple of the most powerful tools a carpenter can have: blind naiveté and supreme determination."

Cabin Porn....

Woodland Cabin:

Phil Elverum from the bands The Microphones and Mount Eerie lived here for a year in Anacortes, Washington.

Hunting cabin near the west branch of the Sacandaga River in the Adirondack Park, NY.

Uvershula in Nordland, Norway sits on idyllic seashore location with fine views of the nearby Lofoten Islands.  Built by a local school teacher, it has a wood burning stove, coffee pot, and a hut log book with comments from travellers from all over the world.

Public treehouse designed and built by students at the Yestermorrow school.

I built this hillside cabin in 1974 in the redwoods near Mendocino, CA, using framing recycled from an old chicken ranch and home-milled siding and shingles. The skylights were tempered plate glass seconds from a sliding door company. My daughter wanted to play with her dollhouse, but it was raining.

Fire lookout in the Cascade Mountains of Washington state.

Ski Patrol Cabin in Eaglecrest Ski Area outside Juneau, Alaska. 

A “bach” on the edge of Hokianga Harbour in Northland, New Zealand. 

I have found a new tumblr called Cabin Porn. Above is a small collection of some of the most beautiful cabins from around the world. It was very, very hard not to reblog every single picture.
