Many of us dreamed of having a treehouse when we were kids. Some were lucky enough to have one. The magic of a treehouse doesn't really diminish as we grow older as is evidenced in these five amazing treehouses near Pittsburgh (one is a quite a bit further afield but well worth the drive) that you simply won't believe.
1. The Treehouse Bungalo at Summit Inn – Farmington
Drive a little over an hour to the Historic Summit Inn in Farmingtown to experience the surreal beauty of its onsite treehouse, built for an episode of the popular show "Treehouse Masters." Enter the Treehouse Bungalow by first strolling down the picturesque 45 foot bridge. Tour the Treehouse Bungalow at 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and at 11 a.m. on the weekends.
2. Jellystone Park – Mill Run
Embrace childhood all over again by booking the spectacular treehouse at Jellystone Park at Mill Run. Nestled among the trees, Yogi Bear's Treehouse features a plethora of modern conveniences, including heat, a microwave, air conditioning, and a mini refrigerator. A fire pit, a grill, and a picnic table await outside of this luxurious treehouse with two bedrooms, a living area, and a bathroom.
3. Tree Tops Restaurant – Acme
Everything about Treetops Restaurant exudes nature: From the name of the road on which it sits (Evergreen Lane) to the outdoor seating surrounded by trees, lush in the summer and bare in the winter. A seat indoors promises sweeping views of the trees surrounding the restaurant that caters to vegans, vegetarians, and carnivores.
4. Lake In Wood – Narvon
Lake In Wood isn't technically near Pittsburgh - unless you consider nearly a four hour drive close - but it definitely makes a pretty amazing summer road trip destination. Lake In Wood, a sprawling campground in Lancaster County, features a variety of interesting accommodations. Live a childhood dream by sleeping in the rustic treehouse that promises seclusion and tranquility. Or, stay in a covered wagon, a tee pee, or an old rail car.
5. The Castle Treehouse – Ligonier
Not a whole lot is known about The Castle Treehouse in Ligonier but it certainly is a sight to behold. (Click above for a tour courtesy of YouTube's 28thMPretiree.) The plywood treehouse towers 36 feet above the ground and features a zipline and a picturesque spiral staircase.
