I love this... So much more than those other famous unique treehouses because all the ones I've seen just seem more houses on trees... This seems to bring some sort of nostalgic nature to it that makes my inner child pumped to explore it...
I live five minutes away from it, it is something everyone should be able to enjoy. I will admit some stairways are steep but nothing wabbles and everything seems to be put together with a meaning. It is beautiful in my eyes. It is not a public hazard, its a gift to the public.
Ctcc73 I'm pretty sure its opened back up to the public, I know several times b4 the owner said the gate would be shut, but every time I go by I get in.
For all the people saying its not a treehouse. It probably started as a structure built entirely in the tree, and then was expanded. To keep it supported you would add foundational posts. Stupid thing to be picky about, its pretty cool. Use your common sense and enjoy it for what it is.
Seth Brown - According to my good friend / Brother - and I've been to the very top - there are 7 trees involved! And there has to be someway to get off the ground to get up in them! There are a couple 'spiral' steps that take you to the first level And it goes from there... it IS a house built in 7 tress!!!
I don't give a shit how this man got this idea. A dream, a drug vision or something from God.( None of us can ever call him a liar ) It is still unbelievably amazing. I think that everyone should be able to see it. It looks like one hell of an experience :D
Apparently it's estimated this thing took less than 15 minutes to burn completely down. Can you imagine if there'd been a busload of tourists scattered up and down that thing when it caught fire? Uneven floors, falling hazards, no proper plan for load distribution in the building, no fire suppression system...
It was wonderful! AND, imagine what if, all you want. It was amazing and built solid. I never saw it "full of" tourists. I have many great pictures and memories and it always felt like a very holy place.
I'm not a big fan of tree houses but I think this is great. It was the man's vision. He built it and enjoys it. It's a inspiration for others to follow dreams whether it makes sense to others or not really doesn't matter.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this big ole treehouse.....wow...what VISION you have...this baby needs to be FINISHED and back OPENED....the designs and ideas you have all thru are breath taking to say the least....I am honest about that....just love it....This needs to be FINISHED and become a STATE TREASURE and Tourist Attraction....I could picture it becoming a famous COUNTRY Music and Dance venue somehow....WOW...invite performers each week or each mth...Feature the Locals as well...love it....GREAT JOB...

To God be all the glory 🙌🙌🙌🙌 Jesus Christ you are amazing and this tree house is absolutely mind-blowing in so many ways for so many reasons 🤯🤯🤯🤯 We are made in His image and as Jesus is The Creator , so are we to a degree through the many different gifts God gives each and every one of us ... Some are good with computers , some with rock or stone and some with WOOD , but , what ever it is that you enjoy doing, keep in mind all good gifts come from the Lord and He loves you and has plans to prosper you and give you a future so stay focused on Jesus Christ and know that you are very loved !!!! Be blessed my friends in Jesus Christ mighty name amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Its more of a house that swallowed a tree. A tree house is a house that's not being supported by beams from the ground, but just a tree itself that's HIGH up not wedged into the dirt below.
+Ryan S. Oh I'm sorry, I seem to have forgotten how we have elections for our political figures, unlike most of the European countries which have family run and corrupted governments.. In America we are free, we have the right to vote, we are innocent until proven guilty, unlike you guys who have the cops beating you with a baton before they ask you what you're doing. And yes, America does have some corrupt police, but it's not like the whole police force in the United States are going around shooting people.. And when a couple of individual officers do shoot an innocent, they are fired, and most of the time arrested as well.
This is the best treehouse I have ever seen . Them bastards need to leave this man alone and let him reopen it . This is still America and we do have rights .
I had the privilege to see this in person. It was back in 2009 and in was beautiful. Climbed all over it, the best I could anyways. One day I would love to go back and see it again. Here it is April of 2019, is it open again??
Sadly, the entire structure completely burned to the ground within a matter of minutes in October 2019. Right after the first firefighters arrived at the scene, the building completely collapsed, and not a single trace of it was left afterward. 😢
serious question here im guessing tree houses require no planning so when does a tree house become a building with a tree running through it? take a look at picture of the whole thing because thats what it looks like to me. i think a true tree house even if it links several trees should have no external support other than a ladder or two to get in it .what you think peeps?
I agree with that; to count as a 'treehouse' the only supports touching the ground should be trees that grew in the ground. Though since you mention it, lack of planning for the load throughout the building is one of the reasons it was forced to close.
What I would have given to have experienced this place in person!! As many times as I passed near this place I never knew it was there. Until it burned down !!!!!!!!
I went to this treehouse earlier today and we had to climb through so much barbed wire and poison ivy to get here. It's all vandalized and the windows are broken. There's trash everywhere. It's huge though
This is not technically a treehouse, but rather a tall house built intertwined within trees. A treehouse starts above in the tree or trees, not from the ground up. A tree house, tree fort or treeshed is a platform or building constructed around, next to or among the trunk or branches of one or more mature trees while above ground level. Tree houses can be used for recreation, work space, habitation, and observation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_house
A beautiful expression of human spirit and the power of vision. I would hope that the only illegal part was not building it for one's own use, but only once he opened it to the public for tours, etc. Then the government has an interest in protecting people from public dangers, like inspecting elevators and pilot's licenses.
i live right there in crossville tenessee and i have been there countless times and it is amazing place i have wrote my name in there at least 20 times.
loved the tree house we took a couple hours walking through it and enjoying all the twists and turns, thanks so much for making it and staying true to the vision God gave you.
my treehouse takes up my whole yard the cool thing about it is that when you open the door for the yard you see a staircase leading to the treehouse it even tackes up into the forest that i live by
- According to my good friend / Brother - and I've been to the very top - there are 7 trees involved! And there has to be someway to get off the ground to get up in them! There are a couple 'spiral' steps that take you to the first level And it goes from there... it IS a house built in 7 tress!!!
this is awesome. I think you should be able to live where you want. if the state thinks it knows better than you and it wants to call it unsafe. then why cant you simply sign a waver stating that you have taken their opinions in the regards and accept all risk. No insurance would be needed. No mortgages and no payments for utilities is worth the small risk of it burning down.
A big part of the reason for building codes is to protect potential buyers. "But," you say, "they could just be required to inform the buyers of the problems." And that is true. But then you would have the cheapest houses being unsafe to buy or live in. And now people who properly build and maintain their houses and apartments to code are at an economic disadvantage. So you're creating an active incentive to have a larger and larger percentage of people living in unsafe housing.
But anyway, I believe it was forced to close to the public, to protect unsuspecting tourists (who would expect a general level of safety). I don't think the fire marshal said the owner couldn't live in that building.
Just like the state of N Jersey. Everyday they keep widening NJ Turnpike, adding lanes, building connecting overpasses, etc., etc. And everyday there are dead animals that have been displaced by all the construction. I don't see any more trees and wildlife, just concrete. When will they stop, if ever?
Tell that to the hippies. anyway, I guarantee ya if it didn't have christian ties and that big jesus shrubbery i'd have given this video a like. And if you feel like replying, you better go study who vespasian was and what the nicean council did to your precious bible first.
As mortal as every man before me, the same who wrote that compedium of books over the span of thousands of years and of which the meaning has been lost, mortals like yourself and I have changed it so much that scrolls appearing today that would date to the time of christ won't even fit in modern day version of the bible. that is because religion is control, it's not that hard to grasp, the Romans needed a religion to create an homogeneous culture throughout the empire, and so they created an amalgamation out of a bunch of divinities and called it canon, they never did bring them jews over though... maybe that's cause most of the bible was plagiarized from them!
Fine then take that comment with you on Judgement day and see how it flies. I'm not impressed nor am I intimidated by your so called intellect. I've seen smarter men than you on their death beds screaming out for someone to pull them out of the fire. So enjoy your life on this side of eternity while you can.
That's wrong tense closed it down wow! Not cool just not cool at all they must of been flipping out it dose not matter if it will fall it will fall another time years to come! Just please get that tree house back up and running its awesome whats wrong with people these days.
This guy received a message from god telling him to build the biggest treehouse because god is sending the zombie apocalypse! Y else? Or am I just high that im tripping or im thinking to much about it if that makes any sense.
I love this...

Have they been allowed to go back into it? I would sign the petition if it is still going on.
Ctcc73 I'm pretty sure its opened back up to the public, I know several times b4 the owner said the gate would be shut, but every time I go by I get in.
I live in Crossville too and I don't think its open to the public anymore but you can ask the owner to get in and they will usually let you in
Where's Crossville? Is it far from Oregon? I want to see it too?

Exactly!! I totally concur!!
We saw it....It is the most amazing structure I have had the privledge to see...Thank You
Very nice, when I was a kid this would have been great.
I think this is AWESOME and it must feel so peaceful being in it. Looks sturdy and safe to me. Enjoy it.

Pete Nelson from Treehouse Masters went and helped to make modifications so the treehouse can be opened up to the public again. AWESOME!

He sounds just like Forrest gump
I saw this video a few months ago and thought that to myself, and now that I saw the movie last week, it's even funnier XD.
u too
I loved this place I went just about every weekend you would rarely run across the same place twice lol
shows how much freedom we really have.
*****
not the ones with greedy governments
+Ryan S. America is a FREE country. WE fight to keep it free. So We CAN do things like this in this country.
+RedBev59 It's okay, he's just jealous of the greatest country on earth. :]
Exactly. :)

I've been in it before.. Its amazing
Went there as a kid back in 2011 maybe 2010 glad I could see it again
And now it’s gone 🥺 It’s already burned out 😢
Good to hear he makes a living building custom tree houses.
This is the best treehouse I have ever seen . Them bastards need to leave this man alone and let him reopen it . This is still America and we do have rights .
I'v been in the Treehouse before and it's awesome. I live in Tennessee
And that's when the lumberjack came.
I wish I could have gone up in it. Would be something to remember.
I had the privilege to see this in person. It was back in 2009 and in was beautiful. Climbed all over it, the best I could anyways. One day I would love to go back and see it again. Here it is April of 2019, is it open again??

I wish I could've gone to this place.
I live in cross ills tn I can walk to this treehouse I especially love the bell and the rocking chair swing
His voice sounds like a deeper forrest gump voice
What I would have given to have experienced this place in person!! As many times as I passed near this place I never knew it was there. Until it burned down !!!!!!!!
That is a very good treehouse
wow, how much did the wood and other material costs.
It's a shame that the state shut you down because they weren't profiting from your accomplishments
awesome!
...and they waited 19 years to tell him that: close it, unsafe??? :P
I went to this treehouse earlier today and we had to climb through so much barbed wire and poison ivy to get here. It's all vandalized and the windows are broken. There's trash everywhere. It's huge though
How is this a treehouse if it's built on the ground?
Doug Leary It was built out of trees!
They were built in trees
well its in a tree so ...
+simhopp so true. You are the TREE MASTER!
It was built in a tree but they had to make the stairs connected to the ground

Is it gone now?
Music? Amman Abassi!!! Which song?
an elven kingdom!!!! :)
Who dared to stop him from bilding that is a sin 😭😭😭
Love it.
What's the music in the background? Shazam just gave me like 10 wrong suggestions....
L.P. Hinton the music is unreleased music by Amman Abbasi. Amazing, right? He did it in two hours. And he edited the video.
This record can be easily beaten.
that look's like a hotel for termites XD
It is bigger than my house
loved the tree house we took a couple hours walking through it and enjoying all the twists and turns, thanks so much for making it and staying true to the vision God gave you.

- According to my good friend / Brother - and I've been to the very top - there are 7 trees involved! And there has to be someway to get off the ground to get up in them! There are a couple 'spiral' steps that take you to the first level And it goes from there... it IS a house built in 7 tress!!!
A building filled with sadness
my dream house 😍😍😍
this is awesome. I think you should be able to live where you want. if the state thinks it knows better than you and it wants to call it unsafe. then why cant you simply sign a waver stating that you have taken their opinions in the regards and accept all risk.

You need to get the funding to get a sprinkler system installed. And a fire hydrant or two right next to it. Does anyone know a plumber?
This video had some creepy ass music and the whole thing felt very cultish. This is some True Detective shit
Google: STOP PUTTING ADS on every RUclips VIDEO!!!
Out of the 68,805,281 people who agreed with this comment only 3 weren't terrified to speak up and agree. lol. Murika. FREE-DuM !!!!!!!!
that is not a three house!!!!That is just a normal house supported by wood
I imagine termites may be a bit of a problem.
Tree mansion!
So sad to see it burned down 😭
I live 20mins away from it
Let him keep it open.
ive been there, they have a church there too, but now its closed
Just like the state of N Jersey. Everyday they keep widening NJ Turnpike, adding lanes, building connecting overpasses, etc., etc. And everyday there are dead animals that have been displaced by all the construction. I don't see any more trees and wildlife, just concrete. When will they stop, if ever?
But it is the right of people who want to walk around in it...to do so.
Great place........if you're high!
What is the man that built it doing today? He can build one for me
cool.
Yep its pretty big get a pool OK at would be better so chow✌✌
I garuantee you, if it didn't have Christian ties to it, the Tenn. Gov't would have ignored it!
Tell that to the hippies. anyway, I guarantee ya if it didn't have christian ties and that big jesus shrubbery i'd have given this video a like. And if you feel like replying, you better go study who vespasian was and what the nicean council did to your precious bible first.
A mere mortal such as yourself is woefully unqualified to define the divine or anything pertaining to eternity.

only reason it wasn't torn down was because he put Jesus all over it...
