Vacation home for 5 people, 30 m², in Bernbeuren (267693)

People and nature meet on equal footing. The journey toward a slower pace begins as soon as you arrive. The final 150 meters or so from the parking lot to the treehouse are covered on foot and by handcart. There you’ll find a flowering meadow and an orchard with scattered fruit trees, a newly planted forest of native and exotic trees—some of which are still very small—a stream with a footbridge, two tree platforms, and, right in the middle of it all, three treehouses on stilts. Across the road lies Lake Haslach (swimming lake) on the Auerberg (1,055 m).

Built in 2024 using sustainable timber-frame construction, the treehouse is energy-efficiently insulated, features underfloor heating, and is habitable year-round thanks to solar power. With 30 square meters of space, it has everything you need and answers the question: How much space do you actually need to live? A fully equipped tiny kitchen, 2 bedrooms on 2 floors connected by a step ladder, a bathroom with a shower and toilet, an adventurous loft bed under the roof, and 2 balconies with an integrated tree trunk. A special feature: an Estonian tent sauna hidden in the forest right by the stream. With a wood-burning stove. Rustic.
The stilted construction respects the natural habitat of plants and animals. Much of life takes place outdoors; nature becomes your living space. So don’t be surprised if the little spider “Widerlich” and Karl the beetle stop by from time to time.

Guest Access
The grounds and the three treehouse structures on stilts are not directly accessible by car, which aligns with the project’s goal of avoiding soil sealing. A parking lot is available about 200 meters away at the Seemühle.
Immediately adjacent is a small woodshed. This shed houses one handcart per treehouse for transporting luggage to the treehouse, as well as the house key fob in a key safe (see directions under “Photos”). The combination lock code will be sent a few days before arrival. Bicycle parking spaces are located directly at the treehouse.
The bins and containers for recycling can be found on the balcony of the first treehouse workshop.
