Guy builds awesome tree house in a Canadian forest.

Unfortunately, he doesn't own the land, and it could be taken down.

He calls it the HemLoft. It's a really nice egg-shaped wooden cabin built around a single tree in Whistler, Canada.

How cool is this?

Real nice and creative, it should be a tourist attraction.﻿
That's nice. And in one of my favorite places in the whole world, too!﻿
Interesting. but what about wild animals?
Is it safe enough?﻿
i haven't seen such house like this.. nice!﻿
that hay va tot cho moi truong﻿
A pity. Nice accomodation indeed!! But does he live there all the time?﻿
The guy doesn't own the land, seems clear enough to me. I have no problem booting him from it.﻿
wonderful tree house.﻿
wow impressive i like it, i wonder how long it took him to build it. i'm going to build one myself next week :-)﻿
Technically he shouldn't have to own the land, just the tree. ;) But this is way cool. Only thing I would miss is internet connectivity.﻿
In jangal ....... celebrate mangal (enjoy).......! Nice......!!!!﻿
As I was watching this video I was thinking, 'Where's his laptop?'﻿
Extremely cool what a clever guy, but what a stupid guy for building on soemone else's land!﻿
A nice place to go to when you wife gets annoying﻿
Nice! - Just sucks that he brought his laptop!﻿
+Mike Elgan Why you post such super-freakin awesome stuff in my stream!!!Why u no understand!!﻿
What a beautifully designed and built tree house!﻿
+Brad Jones To be fair, he's building on Crown land.

So land owned by the government.

Which is generally owned for preservation purposes, to explicitly avoid these kinds of things.


+Jonathan Morley He'd need to own the land around the tree that the treehouse covers though.

someone also confirm he didn't use the trees nearby/in this area of Crown land to build the treehouse? Because that would be all kinds of wrong, and in this case, would also be something he'd have to own.﻿
Love the fact he uses his mac books isight as a mirror.﻿
I love your little " HemLoft " . Its creative , fits in very well with the surroundings and I can't see where it is hurting anything. I hope you get to keep using it when ever you like. Offer to trade your plan's and design for a small plot of land that it is on . Maybe they will work with you somehow. Good luck.﻿
+Alexander Ryan: I read some parts of the story & it looks like some/most of the house is built w/ parts from free furniture turned up on Craigslist!﻿
that is cool, it is a liitle unbievable, how wide the tree is!!!!!﻿
magnifica casetta e posto....bello﻿
mike elgan . where do u get this stuff?﻿
Đẹp quá đi
I want to have a house like HemLoft! So cool!﻿
Kushbu tere Pyar ki mujhe Mahka jati hai,
teri har baat mujhe bahka jati hai,
Saansen to bahut der leti hai aane jane me,
Har saans k pahle mujhe teri yaad aati hai.﻿
wow this treehouse is spectacular im in love with it so cool nice job dude﻿
i du 2. very cool plce to pass tyme.mhhh i lyk it﻿
What a shame it might be take down﻿
Looks cool but the balancing acts are a little scary for me.﻿
how to v get google+ in this home???????????﻿
I found the tree house awesome to say the least - please don't take it down!﻿
how cool!!! i want to see it - don't take it down!!!﻿
That is awesome. Makes me want a treehouse. :)﻿
Enjoyed this piece Mike, thanks for sharing...﻿
I've seen a house like that before.....:)peace﻿
Lan Le
i can't understand﻿
This is a true beauty﻿
i want to live like that ,,, it is amazing﻿
no one owns land. some act like they do and take money by force for the resource they've taken from all. also: neato treehouse!﻿
Wow I love it! Obviously a summer destination. The shower would be way too cold in the winter.﻿
i want that house no words can describe its awesomeness﻿
oooo... such a cute cottage i wana dat can i go n stay....﻿
A dream....superb but he shud hav done this in his own land...sad they are going to mow it down :(﻿
The Occupy Movement needs to make their shelters as cute as this.﻿
you must be very careful...

Eh, when it said secret tree house I was thinking Star Wars or Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. This was more like a Hobbit house from Lord of the Rings. It may have been around a tree but it wasn't even off the ground.﻿
awesome... i want one﻿
Since it's exposed, that's secret no more...﻿
Dan S
That's great!﻿
great place but he is a dumb shit... Maybe I should build one right on top of his so he can understand why people aren't allowed to just build wherever they heck they feel is a good place.﻿
I love it! I might have to build one myself...﻿
Based on the shape and size I would bet that it's really an alien spaceship in camouflage ;)﻿
