Ep 3. Mountain High Meditating Maple

In this episode of Treehouse Masters season 4, titled "Mountain High Meditating Maple," the team led by Pete Nelson ventures deep into the woods to create a treehouse unlike any other. The challenge at hand is to design and build a stunning treehouse that doubles up as a quiet retreat and meditation space for a Canadian family.

The family contacted the team to create a space for them to escape from the hustle and bustle of their busy lives in the city. They specifically requested a treehouse that would provide a serene and peaceful environment, allowing them to relax and meditate.

To create this unique treehouse, Pete and his team had to work with various challenges posed by the location. The site was located high up in the mountains, which made it challenging to transport heavy wooden beams and other materials into the woods where the treehouse was to be built. The team had to use their ingenuity and creativity to work with the environment's conditions and successfully built the treehouse.

The highlight of this episode is the grand Maple tree around which the treehouse is built. The maple tree is over 40 feet tall and has a diameter of over 20 feet. This massive tree serves as the central support of the treehouse structure, providing stability and a link to nature. The treehouse itself is built using a modern design featuring large glass windows that allow natural light to flood in, adding to the serenity of the space. The treehouse is also equipped with a beautiful deck where the family can sit and enjoy the stunning mountain views.

Pete Nelson and his team take great care to ensure they create a space that matches the family's needs. They made sure to create a space with enough room to hold meditation classes comfortably. The team incorporated special yoga and meditation features including a swinging hammock-like seat that is meant to aid in deep relaxation. The treehouse is designed to inspire a sense of calmness and tranquility, with the large windows offering a visualization of a peaceful, serene forest.

In keeping with the family's request for the treehouse to be a complete retreat, Pete also sets up a small kitchenette inside the treehouse. The kitchenette offers a sink, mini-fridge and a small electric cooktop for making meals. This allows the family to spend more time in the space and cuts down the need for them to go back to the main cabin down in the valley.

As with all the episodes of Treehouse Masters, "Mountain High Meditating Maple" concludes with a final tour of the space. The family's reaction to the finished space is priceless. Their gratitude and appreciation for the work done by Pete and his team leaves them beaming with pride. The family gets to experience a space that they wouldn't have imagined possible before the team started building it.

In conclusion, "Mountain High Meditating Maple" is a must-watch episode of Treehouse Masters season 4. The team works with the obstacles posed by the location, showing their problem-solving skills and creativity. They create a treehouse that offers unique and soothing features for the family, making it a complete retreat away from their busy city lives. The episode will leave viewers feeling inspired and contented.
