Experiencing this has officially made its place on my bucket list.
Built in 2010 - they're continuing to adding more structures - it is "a new concept based on cooperation from well-known designers and architects. The result gives us a unique collection of hotel rooms. The denominator in common is the treehut."
About the location (courtesy of the Treehotel website):
Treehotel is located in the beautiful village of Harads, approximately 60 km south of the Arctic Circle, and one hour drive from Luleå, which has the largest airport in northern Sweden. Harads is a place that surrounded by forest and water and by stillness and wilderness. Here lives 600 inhabitants. We have restaurants, stores, hostel, gas station, swimming facilities, view point Klippan and a beautiful church.
Harads is located in Norrbotten in north of Sweden. Just by the valley of Lule River, approx 80 km from Luleå airport and 47 km upstream from Boden. It is a place that is dominated by forests and water, the serenity and wilderness. The village population are just over 600 people.
The On-Site Restaurant (Courtesy of the Treehotel website):
Delicacies from the northern pantry and Swedish cuisine. Our specialty is wild with ingredients from local suppliers, which Svantes Wild & berries. At Brittas Guesthouse we serve lunch every weekday. And for the weekends we serve lunch to our hotel guests. We also serve an a la carte menu if booked in advance.
Other amenities and activities offered are a sauna, horseback riding, hiking, river activities, snowshoe-ing, husky sleds, and lots of other outdoor excursions and experiences pending on the time of year you go.
Who wouldn't want to give this a try? Their philosophy is "Why not create a comfortable, well designed hotel which allows visitors to live in harmony with nature amongst the trees?" I'm sold.
Speaking of, if you do want to go for it, you can book a pretty sweet special through Jetsetter for the next 7 days. They also have specials if you are a fan on Facebook (currently to all of their Facebook fans they're offering the opportunity to stay at Treehotel in April with 30% discount. Offer valid from April 1st to April 30th. Contact them at info@treehotel.se for more information and booking.)

I had fun musing about tree houses reading your post. It looks like fun - and the cube house would be my pick. My kids had a tree house and we enjoyed it in the day - but I have to admit it was Dad who got to try it out for sleeping overnight with them (bugs and a hard floor didn't sound all that good to me). Makes me wish I'd been a little more adventuresome...
Thanks for your feedback Cindy!
It was a fun post to write - I agree the cube house is really neat. I would really love to visit this "hotel" some day - it looks like such a peaceful and refreshing place to visit.
