Nestled in the redwood forest, it boasts a living tree inside the seating room and another one in the bathroom, so there’s no chance you’ll be forgetting where you are!

The tent features a queen-sized bed and you’ll also get wifi and electricity up there. While the full bathroom is in the main house, it’s private so you won’t be sharing it with anyone, and you’ll have access to it at all times.

We like it because the views from the tent are fantastic and it’s very warm, so regardless of the weather you’ll feel comfortable inside. You can enjoy a tour around the vineyard as well, and sip the local wine on your private treehouse balcony.

There’s also an outside deck with outdoor furniture and BBQ facilities for camp-style cooking. 

We like it because the simplicity of the treehouse allows you to truly disconnect and go back to nature. The town it’s located in, Topanga, is a bohemian enclave with plenty of history, so it’s a good opportunity to explore it. 

Treehouse in a Mid-Century Home – South Pasadena

The combination of jungle-style construction and mid-century architecture is actually possible, proved by the very treehouse we’ll be discussing now.
