Episode Description

For many people, treehouses bring back wonderful childhood memories of fun-filled afternoons playing away the hours with a birds-eye view of nature. Today, they’re being used as much more than playhouses; they’re sought-after hotel rooms, Air B&B rentals, and temporary or permanent housing for residents on several continents. In this episode, Chip interviews a Tennessee man who built his own home away from home in a giant Tulip Poplar tree, which happens to be the state tree of Tennessee, near his farmhouse in Goodlettsville.
