UPDATE: This could be the best news you hear all day.

The folks at Mohican State Park recently told Scene that they are now taking reservations for overnight rentals of their state-of-the-art treehouses.

Treehouse designer Kevin Mooney said that the units will be ready for occupancy by mid-September.

Until then, treehouse hopefuls can start planning their mini-vacays and continue swooning over these stunning photos of Mooney’s architectural masterpieces.

Your childhood dream of living in a treehouse is about to come true- at least, your dream of staying in one will.

Clevelanders (or anyone for that matter) looking to escape from the daily grind and slip quietly into the woods will soon be able to rent out state-of-the-art treehouses at Mohican State Park in Glenmont, OH.

Each two-story unit is equipped with two bedrooms, a stocked kitchen, a full bath, Amish-made furniture, central air, satellite TV, and, oh, a killer back porch view.

The treehouses, which were recently featured on the Animal Planet series “Treehouse Masters,” will hopefully be available for summer renting, treehouse designer Kevin Mooney told Cleveland.com.

He said he is just waiting on government approval for occupancy and that the estimated cost for renting a unit would fall between $150 and $250 per night.

  3. Wow Alaina McConnell post the best picture (Rear view) of the Kevin Mooney’s treehouse that was on Animal Planets (Discovery Channel) show called Treehouse Masters with Pete Nelson

  4. I’d pay that to stay a night in one of those. Nice work on building those, looks awesome. Just another reason why Ohio is great.

  5. I don’t think I could have put it better myself “Your childhood dream of living in a treehouse is about to come true.” So cool! I can’t wait until the occupancy has been approved so I can book my weekend.

  8. ROFL MIKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    YAY Mohican!!!! I tripped many times there in hs…Opps I mean, uh yea wait! No….There are LOTS of roots and stuff to fall over….Thats what I meant….

  10. I received something on my last birthday that was even cooler than any tree house…two nights in a CABOOSE. In the woods. On a quiet back road.

    But you have to go all the way down to the Hocking Hills to do it. Look it up.

    Better do it now. The available dates will fill up fast…long before summertime.
