This Hotel Lets You Get Away From It All In Beautiful Tree Houses


Want to get out into the peacefulness of nature without sleeping in a tent? Want to stay in a beautiful hotel, but would rather avoid the stress of a city? Thanks to this stunning getaway, now you can.


Hotel Robins Nest, located in a forest in Hesse, Germany, is a serene little place where you can relax in the beauty of nature.




Each room is a tree house.




Because these rooms are all perched in trees, they allow you to see the beautiful surroundings from a high vantage point.





Every single tree house is totally unique!










There’s even this geodesic dome tree house.



















While they have electricity and heat, they don’t have plumbing. Visitors use communal bathrooms and showers.





Robins Nest was dreamed up by Peter Becker. After working in Berlin for years, Becker grew tired of city life and decided to move out to the woods. With a few friends, he built some tree houses and decided to open for business. Today, he runs the place alone, but a little solitude doesn’t bother him. But now that this unique hotel is becoming more popular, he always has company.




The rooms are beautifully decorated inside, and they have plenty of rustic charm.






The furniture is all made from wildwood.






This is definitely a place you should check out if nature is your thing!

In true form, Robins Nest has no Wi-Fi service, so guests can truly get away from the demands of modern society. It allows them to slow down and appreciate the beauty of nature, and more importantly, each other’s company.

This Is Not At All Your Average Treehouse, But It's Probably The Most Impressive


If you’re ever walking around in the woods near Crossville, Tennessee, you might notice a strange, rustic-looking structure peering over the treetops. It looks like your average treehouse at first, but get closer, and you’ll see that it’s so much more.


This is Horace Burgess’ Treehouse, also known as the Minister’s Treehouse — a sprawling church built into the trees by one man. According to Burgess, he was on a divine mission.




Construction began on the treehouse church in 1993, after Burgess — a local minister — claimed to receive a message from God telling him to start building.






Burgess did most of the construction himself, and by 2013, the treehouse stood 97 feet tall, with multiple stories and a bell tower at the top.






It spans about 32,000 square feet in total.






From a distance, you can see the bell tower over the trees.



The treehouse has become a local attraction in Tennessee.





It leans on an 80-foot-tall white oak tree, as well as six other oak trees for support.






Burgess didn’t exactly plan out his structure. He just gathered some wood and went for it.



As a result, the treehouse is a bit…irregular.





It has a lot of quirky features, like spiral staircases and hidden rooms.






There’s even a swing!






And there are some life-sized statues of people praying….which look a bit menacing.






Some of the rooms in this treehouse have served as both places of worship and basketball courts.




Burgess just has some eclectic interests.

Although there’s no official record in the Guinness Book of World Records, it’s believed that Burgess’ creation is the largest treehouse in the world. It continues to fascinate locals, who regularly trek out into the woods to climb around on it, but it’s no longer technically open to the public. It was closed in 2012 by the state for not following fire codes. Of course, that doesn’t stop the most adventurous explorers!
