Treewalkers is a franchise-based, treehouse hospitality brand that gives property owners a way to enter the exciting and lucrative short-term rental market with low risk and high ROI, and lends travelers an easily accessible network of eco experiences.
What We Do
O2 Treehouse builds intoxicating treehouses that bring people back to nature in unique and beautiful ways. Our years of experience and worldwide recognition places us at the top of a growing niche market. We plan to leverage this success with a compelling franchise based treehouse hospitality brand, Treewalkers.
We are launching into the hospitality market and plan to capitalize on the ecotourism and home-sharing markets with the Treewalkers franchise network, as well as to continue our core competency of building the best treehouses in the world using the same modular building system.
“People are looking to travel as a means of reintroducing nature into their lives causing a greater need for nature-related rental homes”
Our vision is to create stunning and inspired architectural forms that delight the heart and soul and bring people together in unique natural settings. In this way, we believe that the disconnect between humans and the natural world may begin to heal.
In the long term we have plans to develop corporate-owned residential housing developments using the Equilibrium Home System. These will be situated on large 100-200 acre parcels of land and focus on establishing co-housing communities based on the same modular building system as the Treewalkers platform.
Our unique vision and creative spirit truly set us apart. We’ve also kept ahead of the game through our ever-advancing design strategies.
Our founder Dustin realized he could create an entirely new platform for a treehouse to produce an engineered one-size-fits-all design that can be modified based upon the unique install location. Our Tetratruss technology finally allows for the wider evolution of treehouses by creating the possibility for lower-cost units. We’ve also developed technology to expand on a tree’s realty, creating elevated platforms that fit into the natural location. As we look forward, we’ve begun creating models of our Treewalker franchise and are already beginning the process of turning these villages into reality.
Our Treewalkers Franchise will allow us to share more incredible experiences with people around the world. We want to allow people to build everything from a single unit to an entire village.

Our beautiful treehouses couldn’t be a more perfect location to do just that.
As we look forward, we’ve begun creating models of our Treewalkers franchise and are already beginning the process of turning these villages into reality.
Our Treewalker Franchise will build beautiful glamping tents designed for the modern ecotourist using our state of the art technology.
We have also closely tracked the progress of our treehouses rental - we’ve seen average customer reviews of 4.68 and a 70% occupancy rate. Especially now in the new normal of COVID-19, we are seeing more and more people want to get away and have their own space.
