“A Treehouse, a free house,
A secret you and me house,
A high up in the leafy branches,
Cozy as can be house….

Well, if you dwell in Ohio or at close proximity to it, then the state has a host of comfortable hotels or homestays designed in the form of a tree house for you to spend your vacation. Here is the list that follows which would help you in making your choice at the earliest.

In the beginning, the motive behind building this was to convert it into a brewery for Nelson’s Treehouse Brewing Company Beer, but after it was aired on television, plans changed and with a further renovation, the structure was transformed into a gorgeous tree house cabin, where overnight lodging was available. The entire tree houses possess red paint on its outside, making it look like the barns of the same color present in the countryside of Ohio in the 1800s. At the entry one would find wooden stairs, leading them to a 30 feet extension bridge.
