Get high, 50 feet in the sky at Cedar Creek Treehouse. We pinky-swear that the octagonal cabin digs atop this 200-year old Western Red Cedar tree are perhaps the coolest accommodations you’ve ever seen.

Guests brave a towering, five-story giant helix (a.k.a. “Stairway to Heaven”) that leads to the treehouse. The treehouse sleeps up to five people comfortably, with additional space on the fourth floor stairwell observation floor and camping spots below. Don’t expect amenities – electricity is provided by a 12-volt battery, limited supplies of water comes from a well in Ashford, and your fridge is nothing more than your standard issue tailgating ice chest cooler. ]]> globetrotting gourmet 2009-06-09T12:57:08-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/8/22/75134/7850 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3873/Dominica_Carib_region.jpg" class="imgborder"><p> <p>For the truly green traveler, staying in a hotel that just offers to wash the sheets every other day is not enough.

Treehouse Hotels are a popular sort of breed these days, perfect for tree-huggers, those wishing for an eco-vacation and anyone who ever fancied the Swiss Family Robinson digs.

Now, here's a chance to stay in a Tree House Mansion.

The Lodge Kura Hulanda & Beach Club on the Dutch Caribbean island of Curaçao has opened its two-bedroom, two bathroom treetop suite built atop wooden stilts for hotel guests to rent:

A wooden spiral staircase leads up to the Tree House Mansion and into the open-air living room, which features an authentic, ornate Bali Bridal bed and a wide terrace providing picturesque sunset views over the water.
