When I was a kid we had the best treehouse in my dad's backyard. It was huge and super magical. It was where I spent most of my time and conjured up many of my childhood dreams. The nostalgia I get just from thinking about that treehouse makes me want to desperately go back to being a 9-year-old girl when my only concerns were if my dad was going to make me come inside for dinner.
Growing up you start to think you may never get to hang in a treehouse again. Well, get that idea out of your head because there are handfuls of dope spots in BC that you can rent a treehouse with your friends. None of these places will remind you of the treehouses you played in as a kid. They are way more luxurious, but equally as awesome.
Here are eight dope treehouses you can rent in B.C.:
