- Treehouse tour + Go to our sponsor betterhelp.com/exploringalter... for 10% off your first month of therapy with BetterHelp and get matched with a therapist who will listen and help.
In this video, we’re touring The Baltic, an incredibly beautiful, handcrafted, 2-storey off grid treehouse cabin in Ontario, Canada. Cam, the builder, put a lot of love into this project and he even went to a sustainable treehouse building school to learn how to build in a way that would protect the trees and allow them to stay alive and healthy while supporting a structure.
So he shares some of what he’s learned and how it all works, and he also gives us a full tour of the inside of the tiny 370 square feet tree house cabin where the attention to detail and craftsmanship are quite impressive!

Love it. I'm a carpenter near London, ON myself, and I've always wanted to get into building treehouses. It feels like a way I could go back to my childhood building forts and whatnot and just have fun, but also make a living. So it's nice to see someone like me actually doing it.
That is a beautiful treehouse! I especially enjoyed all of the information he shared about ensuring that the trees were healthy to begin with, and that they could stay that way with certain careful building practices. How wonderful that he went the extra mile on learning all of that!
Thanks for checking out the video! Yeah we also learned so much when we filmed this video with Cam. It was pretty fascinating to see how he built the treehouse while making sure that the trees stay alive and healthy while supporting the structure :)
This treehouse is stunning because it is beautifully crafted. I also love how Exploring Alternatives creates these videos. Exceptional creators! 🖌
Thanks so much! We do put a crazy amount of time into filming and editing these videos so its great to get feedback like this :) Have a great day :)
It might be difficult to appreciate how many people have loved what they have seen?❤ thank you 🙏
This treehouse is the best you could ask for! The surroundings and aesthetic is beautiful. I love it 🥰 😊
I totally agree! Thanks for watching :)
@@ExploringAlternatives 🤗👍🏻
@@tinamccall3916 Hello how are you doing today😊
I love this video. A community of treehouses is an absolute dream, for me.
For sure! A community of treehouses would be pretty awesome! Thanks for checking out the videos, happy you enjoyed the tour :)
This tree house is beautiful, looks unique and different from most I have seen. Well done.
If I could have a ground-source heat pump instead of propane, I'd like to have one as a cottage of my own. Good on you guys for always finding such gems like this on in Canada.
That was so nice and comfy ❤
A forgotten art that needs to be revisited.
Beautiful! Such thoughtfulness went into this treehouse!
Happy you enjoyed the tour, thanks for watching :)
This is simply stunning! What a work of art!
Wow this is stunning on the outside and the inside as well...and what a beautiful outlook you can see Cam cares about and takes pride in building plus he cares about not hurting the tree's...thankyou for sharing if I didn't live across the other side of the world I'd definitely love to stay here 💜🇦🇺
Hello how are you doing today😊
I'm a tree hugger and it's nice to know that the trees aren't harmed. I appreciate the explanation. Thank you Matt and Danielle ❤
We loved learning more about treehouse building too! Thanks for watching Cathy :)
I am not a money hugger either
Your knowledge of trees is very extensive. And the craftsmanship of this house is impeccable.
I'd be interested in seeing updates on this structure over the years.
Awesome build and thank you for caring for the trees
Happy you enjoyed the treehouse tour, thanks for watching :)
Matt and Danielle have done a wonderful job with the tree house nice that he gave us info on the proceedure that the tree's were not harmed love the use of the wood throughout lovley shower big window over looking nature it's a wonderful place to stay and esscape into nature . Ontario Canada
I'm literally short of words. Overall Aesthetic is just amazing. I love nature based designs like this and from experience, I'll suggest TinyPocket Homes for anyone who desires this level of design aesthetic and environmental workflow, especially if you have a budget of 20 grand or less. Amazing video as usual
How do I contact them i have a budget of $9000
Melbourne? That's awesome I will definitely reach out to them
My family needs this right now pls your email
I'm a single Dad and I honestly need this
My church recently used tiny pocket homes homes to build our off-grid Sunday service hall
Very nice treehouse. Well done. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful build
Happy you enjoyed the tour, thanks for watching :)
Very nice! I've always loved the clerestory design.
Amazing job, love it.
Beautiful treehouse! Like a childhood dream come true. =)
And Exploring Alternatives creates videos with such a high quality it's alwasys a treat to watch.
Thanks so much, happy you enjoyed the treehouse tour :)
That really nice detail thank for your video
Glad you liked it! Thanks for checking it out :)
Great information about the health and safety of the trees
Wow! Beautifully done!
Thank you! Cheers!
Absolutely Georgia’s! What a beautiful idea. What I like the is the major concern about the environment. Not that easy to get an osmosis like that in architecture. Great artists, wonderful place so well organized. What a feeling it must be to sleep up there!
Thanks so much for this tour!
Thank you Jocelyne, so happy you enjoyed the treehouse tour!
Really nice home ! Would love to live in one like it!
Glad you like it, thanks for watching the tour :)
wow so peacefull place and nice home journey.
Absolutely beautiful
It's really unfortunate that all of these "Tiny Home" tours aren't tiny homes but just AirBNB ads. It muzzles the so-called "passion" when it's a business decision and not a home for your family.
Well the bill's gotta get paid somehow. You can't live fulltime in a treehouse in the middle of a forest and survive without any source of income. Me and my wife built a house in an exotic location too. We not only gave up everything to live here full time but also dumped our life savings into it. We wish we could just stare at the incredibly beautiful surroundings all day but that won't pay the bills. So we too are running an AirBnB to support ourselves. This is how real life works. It's not all bed of roses.
I also have to admit, that there was a moment of disappointment when I realized that this was likely something built for profit (not that there's anything wrong with that!), and not solely as a passion project...
I salute your beautiful project though, may it be a success on every level!
This is perfect!!! Wow!!! ❤️ 💙 💜 💖
Big experience with the trees!
I just might have to check this out for a long weekend sometime!
Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video looking forward to seeing this again in the future first time visitor of this channel.
Awesome! Happy you enjoyed the treehouse tour and welcome to the channel :)
I love it❤l can see the love that was put into it 🫠
Amazing design
Glad you like it, thanks for watching!
incredible documentation! 🔥🔥🔥
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you :)
Can you please build me a tree house here in Florida for me and my son to live in. I am presently homeless and would be so happy and grateful beyond words for your kindness understanding and help. I am an elderly and I pray each day for a safe place to live. God bless you and your family too. Much love always 💖
Amazing.
Adorable 😊❤
Happy you enjoyed the treehouse tour, thanks for watching :)
This is a jewel 💎
Thanks for checking out this treehouse tour, happy you liked it!
This is such beautiful work you have done and at the same time make sure that it does not impact nature in a negative way. I was wondering how you are able to put the hardware in the tree and when the tree grows it does not mess with the foundation of the house. Please let me know how that works.
NICE. We had our honeymoon in an off grid treehouse 20 years ago in San Jose, California........................................................ from the Ozarks
Well done….excellent presentation…impressive in all aspects…be safe..
Glad you enjoyed the treehouse tour! We were also very impressed with the build and with the hardware system for the trees :)
Wow! Beautiful! 🤩👌🏾👍🏾
Thank you! 🤗 Happy you enjoyed the treehouse tour :)
@@ExploringAlternatives 🫶🏽 it. I would rent it if it was in Canada 😊
I LOVE THAT HE USED THE WORD "WOUND".
Wow, this is so beautiful 😊😊
Thanks for watching, have a great day :)
@@ExploringAlternatives Thank you. You too! 😊
Having them outside of the body also eliminates the huge problem of sealing this expanding pillar.
great !
Thanks for checking out the treehouse :)
Wow wonderfull 😊
Thanks for watching :)
Beautiful designed treehouse, i love every detail. What screws did you use for the plywood and what floor is that, earthy floor? Looks also amazing and fits perfectly to the color mood. Inspiring! Thanks
very nice
Thanks for watching, happy you liked the tour :)
Soil compaction around the roots is a bad thing. The U.S. Parks Dept will no longer identify the tallest Redwood/Sequoia tree in the parks because of it. Years ago when they did point out the tallest tree there were so many people that visited the tree they compacted the soil around the roots and it wound up killing the top of the tree.
Wow that's really too bad. We also just found out about this while filming the video with Cam. Thanks for watching and for your comment :)
Wow.
Beautifully done
I’m wondering as to how far apart your intake and exhaust are for your HRV as a short circuit loop could easily happen, and not really provide the whole house, air exchange you’re looking for
First comment, love to see modern tree houses that can be used as amazing accommodations!
Thanks for checking out the video! We really loved meeting Cam and learning about how the treehouse was built :)
As the trees grow upwards, how do you compensate the movement with the three solid steel poles
The trees grow from the top up. The bottom remains as it was. As the tree grows in height more length is added at the top of the tree
@@singh5004 thank you
Beautiful to say the least...Love the color of the Birch Plywood inside It's very neutral warm, cozy and inviting. I would LOVE to have something like this one day.
I noticed the Ceiling above the Bench area in the Foyer, it looked like it had some water damage or crimped areas...is that due to those HRV air vents blowing air maybe moisture in that area?
How do you deal with the dynamic loads on the steel posts ( generated by the movement of the anchor tree) I'm considering a similar aplication .
Nice😊
Thank you! Cheers :)
Would be cool if they glue/nail some bark sheets onto the insulated column.
Beautiful and very well done my only concern is the stair it is made for young people. What a feeling you must improve to be n a tree house wow! This guy is a artist, he thought of everything. Bravo!
Can y use tree thumb as support for house? Or it shiver without crown.
Woahhh
Thanks for checking out this beautiful treehouse :)
One question; the outdoor shower on the deck, I didn’t notice a drain. Does the water seap through the deck? Wouldn't that cause the wood to rot?
I love what you did, you collaborated with Mother Nature not defecate her. I love the outside hot tub and making the whole structure apart of the woods which is the foundation of Earth.
This seems just part of the forest. What did you use for insulation?
Looks cozy. A bit too much of the same color and wood (considering the kitchen counters and the floor). There should be more contrast (like how the bathroom has some of that with the floor and shower). but I like the living room area a lot with the light in there and such. The structure in itself is gorgeous. I love the ladder too.
😍
Lovely indeed. But i would dearly love to know how they got thd bed up there ? Anyone ?
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great work ! Like Jesus the Carpenter!!
Can someone build me one?! This is gorgeous!
This sure beats my childhood treehouse. 😂
Sue here: Really beautiful ... what about lightening and ... bears though? 😮
😃👌
Hardware source? Thanks.....
He... He gave the trees piercings 🤣 the entire house is a tree earring 😂
Also, the claim that the roots are being protected is only true as far as that they're not being dug up. The roots now are covered by a structure which will prevent rainwater from getting to them.
How did he get that couch in there?!
Thats a good question, it is pretty massive! Maybe before installing the big widow? Thanks for checking out the video :)
I am surprised that with so much open space around the tree, you aren't letting in a ton of cold air, making the interior freezing cold, especially in a cold climate as this appears to be.
Trees don’t go inside
The trees go through the decking on the outside. They are not internal at all.
Absolutely perfect, but the rent is just brazen. 529 per night is outrageous.
Oops, forgot to ask if they tap the sugar maple and make their own maple syrup.
Pazzesco, in alto salvi l'albero e in basso lo uccidi 😭 forse era meglio il cemento, comunque beautiful tiny house
It's a hybrid, not a tree house. nevertheless cool design. Cheers.
A giant leather couch in a structure designed not to hurt the trees seems weird to me.
Its healthier if the kitchen is out of the main building.
Neat house but I can't but wonder if using trees for support is only so you can call it a tree house. Seems like that house could have been built completely without boring holes in any tree. I would have rather seen the trees where they are without any attachements to them and the house just built normally up on steel poles or 6x6 posts. As mentioned in the video, some feel a tree house should only be attached up in a tree without other ground supports. Can't really see how boring holes in trees makes this house a tree house when it could easily have those trees in the very same places poking through the decks and completely foregoing the tree boring attachements since there are 4x4 posts elsewhere holding up the house. It certainly would have been better for the spirits of those trees not to have been so grieveously wounded just so you can build a a quasi tree house. Use the trees ornamentally without piercing the trees. No matter what you tell yourself, those tree attachments are not good for those trees.
Just imagine the cost to build this thing 😢
I feel like if you build a tree house like this, it should be of some living benefit to the trees that you're co-habbing with
The hardware structure in the tree reminds me of an ear piercing.
He said tree house purists. Whoever pays for it decides how it goes.
Not buying that this doesn't hurt the tree. I think it would be best to just leave the tree alone and build an independent supporting structure. What happens in 50 years when the tree is WAY bigger? What happens with the hole in the tree. Certainly can't be good for it.
😢what about the major problem? Bugs?
They'll be attracted to the light
Tree houses don’t work it doesn’t matter what you do. It’s not immediate, but eventually someone is going to cut those trees and redesign the supports for the house or lose the house. Guaranteed.
Wow money, how nice
He cares alot about protecting FOUR trees, but the wood for building the house probably chopped down a few trees as well. The sentiment is nice, though and the result is amazingly beautiful
Pricy
