The Little Red Treehouse is also designed by Pete Nelson.

The Little Red features a five-foot stained glass window, which allows morning light to filter in through all shades of the rainbow. To get to it, you will go up a staircase and down a 30-foot suspended bridge. There's even an outdoor shower!

The other three treehouses - Tin Shed, The Moonlight, and The Old Pine - are equally as beautiful.

Each will put you among the trees and make you feel at peace in the nature. Many of the treehouses have a remarkable design story. You can find learn about the work and ideas that went into these designs on each The Mohicans' website.
