In Treehouse Masters season 6 episode 7, entitled "Apres Skihouse Treehouse," we follow the build of a luxurious winter getaway treehouse that is fit for après-ski relaxation. The host, Pete Nelson, and his team of skilled craftsmen are tasked with constructing a high-end, two-story treehouse that boasts a spa, a hot tub, and a wine bar.
The treehouse is located in Stowe, Vermont, where it is surrounded by snow-covered mountains and crisp winter air. The client, a couple who loves skiing, has requested a cozy, yet stylish space where they can unwind after a long day on the slopes. They also want the treehouse to blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings, so that it feels like a true retreat.
Pete and the team begin by scouting the site and selecting the perfect tree for the job. They settle on a towering white pine that offers stunning mountain views and plenty of sturdy branches to support the structure. The foundation of the treehouse is built using steel beams and brackets, which are securely bolted into the tree trunk.
Once the foundation is in place, the team focuses on the interior design of the treehouse. They create a spacious main living area that features a cozy fireplace, comfy couches, and an impressive wine bar that includes a built-in wine cooler and storage racks. The wine bar is designed to resemble a traditional alpine hut, with exposed wooden beams and a rustic feel.
Upstairs, the team constructs a spa-like bathroom that features a large soaking tub, a walk-in shower, and a double vanity. The walls are clad in natural stone tiles, which add to the overall warmth and coziness of the space. The bathroom also has large windows that provide stunning views of the snow-covered landscape.
Outside, the team builds a two-level deck that features a hot tub and plenty of outdoor seating. The deck also has a built-in grill, which allows the couple to cook up delicious meals while enjoying the crisp mountain air. The team covers the deck with a retractable awning, which provides shade on sunny days and protection from the elements during snowy weather.
The finishing touches of the treehouse are what truly bring the space together. The team decorates the interior with cozy blankets, plush pillows, and other alpine-inspired décor. They also add plenty of ambient lighting, including twinkling fairy lights and vintage chandeliers, which create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Overall, "Apres Skihouse Treehouse" is a stunning example of what can be achieved with a little creativity and expert craftsmanship. The Treehouse Masters team has created a winter retreat that seamlessly blends with its natural surroundings and provides the ultimate luxurious getaway destination.
