April 3, 2026Can You Visit a Nelson Treehouse? Here’s Where to Stay, Tour & Explore

One of the questions we hear most often is: “Can I visit one of your treehouses?”

The answer is yes, you can!

Over the years, we’ve built treehouses all across the country (and even one in Norway), and many of them are open for visits in different ways. Some welcome overnight guests, others offer tours, and a few are tucked into public parks where you can stop by and explore.

Each one is a little different, but that’s part of the fun. Below, we’ll help you find the right way to experience a Nelson Treehouse for yourself.

 

Please note: just because a treehouse is on this list doesn’t mean you can stop by anytime—many require advance reservations or scheduled visits. Be sure to follow each venue’s specific guidelines when planning your trip. For the most current details, we recommend visiting each location’s website directly, as we’re unable to provide comprehensive visiting information for every site.
