Heidi’s Treehouse Chalet, Poulsbo, Wash.

Nelson describes this 450-square-foot treehouse as a "chalet-style fairy-tale aerie." The owner especially loves that a ramp, rather than the traditional ladder or stairs, lead to the house.

Nelson found this treehouse through his partner Jake Jacob. It was designed with a Native American theme (note the teepee-like roof) and is made almost entirely of salvaged or reclaimed materials.
