I have a small obsession with tree houses. Brought on perhaps by a childhood filled with extensive tree climbing and an enduring fascination with Swiss Family Robinson. In addition to a little thatched 'wendy house' or 'play house', we actually had a simple tree house in our garden growing up. It was my most favourite place to go, even as a teenager, when I wanted to be alone with my thoughts. There's a wonderful feeling of tranquility you get up amongst the foliage, looking down at the world below, a step back - or up, rather - from all the busyness and chaos of everyday life.
This Tree House at The Lodge on Loch Goil in Scotland, seems like a wonderfully calm retreat, up amongst the branches gazing out at the placid waters of the Loch. I found it a bit funny when I realized I'd added it to my Pinterest board under the title 'Dream Homes'.

wow.. that looks perfect.
What an amazing spot! My brother and I had a tree house in our backyard, as kids, in a huge willow tree. I always loved hanging out up there.
Amazing! Likewise got some old fascination about tree house. Would really build one someday. :D

wow...amazing.
DT - thank you! ;)
Kim - there really is something magical about being up amongst the branches. Willow trees have always been a favourite of mine. x
Wow, I love this. I once stayed in a treehouse hotel in Portland...it was such a cool experience! Swiss Family Robinson was one of my fave movies growing up, it was so surreal to experience it as an adult!
I'd love to stay here for a romantic weekend retreat lit up with fairy lights. It brings a whole new meaning to the term tree-house.
I hope you've had a lovely relaxing weekend.

I can't imagine a more perfect spot overlooking the loch.
