This is the story of a creative young lad who invented and built his own bicycle-powered ELEVATOR to get up to his tiny treehouse cabin which is built way up in the trees. Pretty incredible!
The story goes like this… Ethan got sick of climbing the ladder dozens of times a day to and from his self-built treehouse. So he did what anyone who owns a self-built treehouse would do… (kidding?) He built a cheap DIY elevator out of a bicycle!
So now when friends visit they can simply use the ladder… Or they can have a lot more fun this way. In this post, you’re going to get to see Ethan’s DIY treehouse, his DIY elevator, and briefly, how it was done.
It’s a part of a hotel that’s up in the trees, camouflaged, and ready to relax in.
Unfortunately, it’s pretty expensive to stay at. But if you do have the money, it would likely be unforgettable (there are other cool shelters on site too).
Either way, you get to see it all right here in this post today almost just as if you were there.
And I couldn’t help but think to myself, hey, here’s one way we could get by codes/zoning for tiny housing (but I’m kidding of course).
From the outside it looks like an ostrich nest or maybe some kind of ancient flying dinosaur’s nest but when you go inside you find a modern and luxurious tiny cabin, see for yourself below:
