This Treehouse Resort In Oregon Will Give You An Unforgettable Experience

Known as the Out'n'About "Treesort," this is a truly only-in-Oregon type of place, just south of Cave Junction, near the California border. This unique B&B community was founded by Michael Garnier, who is said to have wanted to celebrate the state's abundance of trees. It took years to convince officials in Josephine County that his unusual structures were of sound construction, and for a long time he had to find ways around the system (instead of booking customers, he invited friends into his tree homes, who would purchase souvenir T-shirts as an act of solidarity). Now, the place is fully above-board, so to speak, and regularly books visitors from around the world.

11) Need a perfect bird's-eye view? Look no further than this gazebo, perched high up in the canopy.

10) Developing this special place was no easy task. It took years for the county to grant the permits needed for the "treesort" to be given legal B&B status.

Here, one of many newspaper clippings from the years-long controversy.

9) Scared of heights? You'll just have to leave that behind if you want to get from treehouse to treehouse, as the higher ones are connect by bridges like these.

8) The spacious porches are connected to the living quarters with spiral staircases, as pictured here.

7) We love how the balcony is underneath the house, giving visitors more porch space.

5) Here, the photographer wonders if this treehouse is the stuff of Robinson family dreams.

We also found this great video that actually shows you what one of these treehouses looks like on the inside.

We hear this is the largest such treehouse colony in the world. We're not really sure how to verify that, but one thing's for sure, this place is special. Tell us, have you visited the "treesort?" Would you? Tell us in the comments below!
