Out'n'About Treehouse Treesort - Cave Junction, OR

Out'n'About is an veritable treehouse wonderland!
We want you to please understand that although we do
everything in our power to insure safety, there is an
inherent risk associated visiting a total of 18 different
treehouses and a host of platforms (a few almost 40+ feet up
the tree), a few child size forts, seven swinging bridges
(8' to 32' off the ground and 12' to 90' long), five swings
plus the Giant Tarzan, 20 flights of stairs, four ladders
and an unbeatable collection of zipline courses with over a
mile of TreehouseZiplines.
On the ground there is also a fresh water swimming pool fed
by the East Fork Illinois River, two performance stages, a
bath house and cooking pavilion, big campfire site and
barbecues. .
The treesort is on 36 private acres backed up to Siskiyou
National Forest land & wilderness with 25 horses, two
rocking horses, 4 dogs, & 1 cat usually running around.
Out'n'About is a truly unique place. Part of it's uniqueness
has to do with that it is a home grown and based business.
There are no locks on the treehouse doors. It is not the
Ramada or Hilton in the trees, but is a genuine four star
Treesort.
It took eight years of hard fought legal battles with
Josephine county officials before they finally recognized
the soundness of our designs and gave us our needed permits
to be legal. We were ordered to shut down our treehouse
rentals several times, and at peak pitch actually ordered to
tear down the treehouses at one point.
So to keep the business going we sold very expensive one of
a kind dated t-shirts- "Treeshirts" as we call them. We
could not allow the general public to officially stay in the
treehouses... but we could invite our friends. So everybody
who came had to become our friend, one of the now many "Tree
Musketeers". People from all over the world would treeserve
a date to be put on a certain tree-shirt. they would then
come here on that date, get their treeshirt and become a
Tree Musketeer, our friend, spend the night in a treehouse
and Michael would sign their shirt.
We no longer have to sell shirts to earn money and do not
have to limit guests to our "friends", but we still endeavor
to do so. So please feel free to come spend the night,
become a Treemusketeer, and if you decide to get a treeshirt
Michael will still sign and date it if you like!
To check out the accommodations directly, please go to our
Root Costs page. The Tree Room Schoolhouse Suite (which
includes a bathroom, kitchenette and "sitting to ponder
area"), the Swiss Family Complex (a pair of treehouses
connected by a swinging bridge), the Treezebo (our tallest
residential treehouse, sleeps two to five, with toilet and
sink), the Forestree (like the Treezebo but with full
walls), the Peacock Perch (designed for, and best enjoyed by
two, very romantic), the Yurtree (18' diameter yurt on a 20'
platform in the trees), the Treeloon (sleeps four with a
sink), connected by a swinging bridge to the Cavaltree
(styled as a cavalry fort in the trees), the Serendipitree
(for two adults or two adults and two small children). Also
available is the Cabintree (a deluxe "on the ground" gem
accompanied by a small open air treehouse), and newest
additions the Pleasantree, Balcontree and Mastree.
The Treehouse Institute , established over the summer of
1996, is the only place in the world that offers avocational
instruction in basic engineering, design and construction
methods for building treehouses. There are also plenty of
other things to learn and have fun with here. We are like a
summer camp for whole family. The courses are tailored to
include everyone in family enjoyment. Our experienced
certified staff give zip line extravaganzas, guided horse
back riding, treehouse construction,l easily arranged. The
craft courses are taught by local artists on site here. The
ones that require the shortest amount of time to arrange are
the very popular tie-dye and tile mosaic classes. We have a
performance stage that can be used by kids quite often just
for playing, but not so much as the organized classes.
