As a child, one of my favorite poems was Shel Silverstein's "Tree House." I dreamed of having a tree house I could escape to when I needed a minute alone. Now that I am about to move, I couldn't help but go ga-ga over this Tree Top Inn designed by Barbara Butler.

Built in 1938, this Indiana home has more than 3,000 square feet of living space, four bedrooms, five baths, two guest cottages, and a treehouse! The 115-acre property includes brick walkways surrounded by gardens edged in boxwood, lavender plantings, pear trees, and illuminated fountain pools. Check out the gorgeous photos in the slideshow.

If you have the latest issue of Domino in your hands, you've no doubt flipped through the photos of Linda Aldredge's treehouse, which she built herself. While the magazine has the finished photos, Domino's site has a cool slideshow taking you through the entire process. Linda had a budget of about $12,000 to take her from start to finish.

Designed and built by Peter Lewis, a writer in Maine, the treehouse is a 300-square-foot timberframe structure. He wrote a book about it called Treehouse Chronicles: One Man’s Dream of Life Aloft, a large format, coffee-table book that has won seven national book awards.
