Do you remember that childhood dream of having the perfect hideout perched high up in the trees? It seems that adults have turned this fantasy into a form of art, and embellished various corners of the world with astonishing architectural masterpieces based on the simple notion of a tree house.
Go to Indonesia, visit Sweden or book a trip to Canada, and you will have the chance to spend a few nights or have a delicious meal in the branches, with your inner Peter Pan yearning to turn this one-time stay into a permanent residence.
The Mirror Cube in Sweden
As if invented by Tim Burton or Salvador Dali himself, this surreal structure in the northern woods of Sweden includes all the perks of modern life along with the timeless beauty of the surrounding forests and intact nature.
Each tree room is on its own tree, while the dining room and other hotel facilities are only a few steps away from the sleeping nooks, and available for all visitors. The Mirror Cube alone is perfect for a secluded escape, but the hotel offers a wide range of exciting activities that you can only experience in the Arctic Circle – elk calling, bear watching in the midnight sun, and northern light photography.
For the adventurers at heart, you can opt for white water rafting, western horse riding, snowmobile safari and mountain-biking, or a hike through the natural reserves nearby.
