I Spent the Night in this Treehouse in the Mountains!

*This video is sponsored by LMNT! Try LMNT (it's seriously the best) by clicking here: drinklmnt.com/mirandagoesoutside
I spent the night "camping" in this off-grid treehouse built 50 feet off the ground! That's a little over 15 meters for my metric friends! Located half an hour outside the trendy mountain town of Asheville, NC, this treehouse tiny home in the Blue Ridge Mountains might just be one of the greatest and most unique overnight experiences I have ever had. Could this be the best treehouse stay in America?! It might be for the stunning views alone...

This video is part two in a series of videos I'll be making throughout this year that I'm calling Inside/Outside, USA! I'll be exploring off-grid cabins, earthships, yurts, tiny homes and other alternative camping spaces that invite the outdoors in!

This channel will always be primarily about backpacking, hiking and traditional tent camping, but I'm excited to bring videos about these non-traditional camping stays to my channel to show how many unique and wonderful ways there are for anyone to get outside! 💚

[@MirandaGoesOutside]

What do y'all think - would you enjoy a night in this treehouse? Comment below where I should stay next!

[@BillySBC]

I see your strategy... better vantage point for UFO's... You're always a step ahead aren't you?

[@kristeniszler]

You guys should stay the night in a house boat. It looks like a lot of fun!

[@lizfrance2878]

You should check out the Medora area in North Dakota.

[@amandacarney922]

Check out Benezette in Pennsylvania - Wild Elk roam the hills up close and personal! Beautiful hiking trails, Benezette Wines is a winery/cider house (so good!), and of course the Elk County Visitor Center! Drive around the area to the several wildlife look outs to see herds of elk! There's wagon rides at the center, the Sinnemahoning Creek is great for floating or fishing. Come around early fall during the rut and you'll hear tons of bugling, plus the leaves will start to change. There's several cabins, tents, camping sites, and I'm sure there's places to backpack too! You'd love it!

[@mistyreed4558]

Where did you get those cute pants?!

[@RainerGolden]

Literally one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Take me back!!

[@jimmynoname4089]

Kind of want to know the location. Looks neat and peaceful

[@RainerGolden]

@@jimmynoname4089 It’s in Fletcher, NC! Near to Asheville.

[@GiMeDaCash]

@@RainerGolden Wait, really? That's only two hours from me! This is attainable! (I hadn't read the description yet to see where it is. oops)

[@Scullycatmama]

If you're looking for ideas, there's a place along the North Shore of Lake Superior in MN that's built to look like a lighthouse. It's definitely not roughing it by any stretch of the imagination, but the Superior Hiking Trail which it's near is spectacular hiking for MN. Thanks for the cool treehouse video!

[@Tintzle]

Loved the SHT! Last fall I went on my first backpacking trip, it was on the Lusten to Grand Marais section NOBO. Is the lighthouse you're talking about near there, or more in the Duluth area?

[@twitchy_bird]

As someone born in Asheville and raised all around the area, I'd love to see you explore more of our part of Appalachia!!

[@schulzbrianr]

Consecutive Miranda Goes Outside!! videos without a burp: 1

[@christophertaylor87]

It is a little concerning that all except the main tree seem pretty dead 😳

[@aprilfensom6412]

Brings back old memories of when we were younger we built our tree house out of anything we could find and had a great time.

[@melissarobinson9618]

Legolas! ... Haha, now my LOTR viewing will be better knowing there is an infusion of Miranda! 😂❤ This was such an amazing spot to show us, thank you!!

[@MirandaGoesOutside]

😁 Fun fact: Rainer adores LOTR and takes every chance he gets to make a reference. I think he’s seen the movies hundreds of times.

[@melissarobinson9618]

@@MirandaGoesOutside They're taking the hobbits to Isengard!

[@amandacarney922]

The fact that this place isn't expensive at all and it gives this type of experience is amazing! I could feel the peace you were experiencing. Thank you Miranda & Team for making videos at realistic and affordable vacation spots!! Can't wait to see where else you'll be staying!!

[@mholder1324]

I didn't expect it to look like an actual house on the inside. Impressive!

[@MirandaGoesOutside]

Same!! I’m not sure what I expected - maybe more like treefort or a “No Adultz Allowed” sign or something? - but it waayyyy surpassed anything I imagined.

[@kimdonaghyrealtor8238]

Very cool place, but I would be a bit concerned about the dead tree that is supporting it.

[@christinemmac]

I think that’s super cool! But … coincidentally last night before a thunderstorm came through we had some pretty bad winds and I was almost freaking out by how extremely bendy the big trees in our yard were getting, I mean it just seemed unreal. Can’t stop thinking about it while watching this! Yikes

[@breannafilms8]

New special love for Rainer for that LOTR reference 😂❤

[@quantum_entangled_tardigrade]

My first (weather nerd) thought about this tree house: I hope it's properly grounded.

[@MirandaGoesOutside]

😳

[@angelag5708]

I want to see an inspection permit

[@Charsept]

Me, afraid of heights and humanity's occasionally neglect for maintenance and structure engineering: "No thanks 😨"

[@Richard-lj2lx]

It looks like an awesome place, but with my aversion to heights, I probably wouldn't enjoy it on a windy day. P.S. You and your team are awesome!

[@MirandaGoesOutside]

I feel that. It definitely took some getting used to!!

[@fign66]

So glad to hear there is going to be a whole series of these! Was the potato the first in the series?

[@MirandaGoesOutside]

Yes it was!! After that, I started looking into amazing places to stay in beautiful areas - and there are SO many! I’m stoked to share these with y’all 🥰

[@mbbertram3605]

Great video! Miranda, you should come to NW Montana and stay in a Forest Service fire lookout. Some are really high up like the tree house, others are on the top of a mountain. They're a little more rustic but incredible!

[@elliotdryden7560]

This is about 40 minutes up the road from me! Love the Stonehenge "Buze-ee-go" (as opposed to 'gazebo') Treehouse overnighters are not for the somnambulistic, but otherwise awesome! Thanks for taking us with you!

[@paulkhanna1]

Looks amazing! I'd love to stay there. As always, the editing is fantastic. Great job team!

[@BillySBC]

Better act fast, next year it'll be 52 feet above ground level.

[@nixternal]

I was like, oooh that is so cool, oh look at that view...ooh I wanna live there....ooohh....wait! HANDS FREE BEER KOOZIE!?!? GIMME! That place is awesome! Would you stay in it during a lightning storm though? Can't wait to see what's next!

[@MirandaGoesOutside]

Dude the Hands-Free Coozie from Cactus to Pine (they call it a “Cruisey”) is an absolute scene stealer!! I feel like I *probably* wouldn’t stay in this in a lightning storm? Just seems like asking for trouble!

[@robopecha]

my favorite moment was the pigeon.

[@paullavender-pc1uz]

That was bad ass. ❤ I’m building a tiny home in Colorado way up at 9300 feet . I’m also building teepees on my property. You need to do a video in a TP hey…!!! I just had a thought poop and TP go together .😂😅😂

[@TinyRit]

Very cool - I would love to stay there! You should also stay in a fire lookout. There are quite a few of them here in the Pacific Northwest, similar to this treehouse, if perhaps a bit less bougie. For many of them, you have to hike in, so it combines backpacking with staying in a really neat, but minimal structure with an amazing view.

[@A.TAYLOR]

I love how tiny it is! 🩵

[@koyapol]

that bird edit got me off guard LMAO

[@randbaldwin]

I so love that thing!!!! Buuuutt, I'm just like, why would you build such an elaborate place upon a foundation that will die, decompose, and collapse. Oof. The most worrisome thing is we won't be able to see the structural integrity because it happens inside the wood. If you have seen the weakening of wood from the inside like I have, you wouldn't trust this structure. Less over time. I've also lived in climates that would blow that thing over. It's so awesomely cool, but no matter how much of an epic treehouse it is, it's safe days are numbered.

[@marlynhoksbergen3274]

That was awesome. So lucky to be able to spend a night in something as amazing as that. Will be looking forward to the next place you stay!

[@LupisJBM13]

Amazing as always. I really feel you are one of the most relatable personalities I have ever seen! The first I saw was when you were under REI doing product demonstrations and reviews. Quite traditional and straight laced but still Miranda. Next was MIW where I got to see "Miranda Unleashed!" And wow what an amazing personality! Still informative but everything really stuck well. Just so much fun while still educational. Now your own project. I can't describe it well. Not as "business like" as early REI and not as wild as the MIW but just amazing. Just seems so "normal" and "real" (all were real, but hope you get my point", I don't and can't have a favorite as every one was you. You are the show. While there are other excellent and special youtubers on hiking and such, I have to admit I keep coming back you and your approach as my favorite! Thank you for being you. Thank you for what you share with us. And thank your team for their amazing work. While I would love to see all of your team more, I have to respect Ranier and his decision to keep the focus on you.

[@jasonfitzpatrick414]

Happy belated birthday. Glad to see ya'll are still working on the new adventure.

[@grodrig2]

This was so cool! What pants are you wearing in the coffee scene? They’re super cute.

[@mercurials54]

Got to wake up in the crack of dawn to fully enjoy them birds morning calls.

[@VillelaHN]

That’s awesome!

[@shannahmatecun9996]

So cool!

[@1anita1m]

That was awesome. What a beautiful view! Thanks for sharing.

[@charleshagman5025]

Awesome Miranda. Keep these kind of videos coming. Love them.

I love this video series idea!!! I can’t wait for more.

[@natashabugarin140]

LOOOOVVVEEEEE this series idea! Thank you!

[@andrewvanada52]

I work as an arborist. So, what you described as the view & the experience from the top -- thats what I get every time i climb to the tree top!

[@Alexmontis3843]

I loved this one

[@susietopspin]

I would totally do this. Thanks for sharing and happy trails.🤘🏻🥾⛰️

[@DameEdnaBrown]

What a great treehouse

[@fleetfeet9]

What a cool treehouse!!

[@MirandaGoesOutside]

Right?! It was so impressive!!

[@haleyeasterwood4553]

Awesome! I'm so looking forward to the next video, your content always gives me great vacation ideas.

[@octoberscamp]

I've never seen you so happy in a video. You might need to get your own treehouse!

[@quarryqwerty]

This reminds me of the lookout tower from Firewatch 😮

[@DadBodDrumming]

That is a really cool location.

[@0HARE]

Wow, what cool stay in the woods! Thanks for taking us along.

[@emilybauer3663]

that is SOOOO cool! I need to go stay in a treehouse haha

Oh my goodness! What a dream!!!❤

[@MirandaGoesOutside]

Isn’t it incredible?!

[@barbara-holley]

I'm beyond excited for this series!!!

[@MirandaGoesOutside]

Yay!!! I’m so stoked to hear that!! I’m super excited too - especially for what we have planned next!

[@dcruz233]

North Carolina welcomes you 😊 Glad you enjoyed your stay

[@cmcer1995]

And Off Ground too! Excellent view of the Port-a-potty too, eh? I'm thinking the Pee Pot is fine as long as you don't have a problem with Giardia. Hey, where's the shower? The Fire Pit looks more like Paul Bunyon's gold pan. That is an epic tree house for sure, but I wonder if tree huggers everywhere are in mourning? Looks awesome at night too, like a stairway to Heaven! I thought your hair actually looked great down earlier. Thanks for sharing this adventure and for the trip back to our tree houses from childhood!!

[@wadelewis9260]

WoW, thanks for sharing another great video.

[@kristeniszler]

The tree house is so cool!!!

[@MirandaGoesOutside]

I loved it!!! Seriously a feat of architecture.

[@Alhemdi]

Wow, its a dream location 😍 thanks for sharing this with us. We love you Mirandaaaaa 🥾🌿🎒

[@JC-zi1bu]

Loveeeeeee tree houses! Great spot! Also, we have matching sunny pants! 💛

[@randy_aubergine]

Loved also seeing you become more comfortable with the height over the stay. I am soooo nervous with heights but challenge myself to enjoy them too.

[@user-gs6xo8hs8m]

Way cool. Miranda, you’re living my dreams.

[@jakeva9802]

I gotta check this out now

[@OmarRodriguez-km7xk]

❤im in love!! Treehouse is awesome as well

[@goldiloks08]

So cool!! This place was gorgeous in video - I’m sure it was STUNNING in person! I definitely would’ve had trouble stepping out onto that deck, too. Heights are not my fave 😅 ((Side note - I love everything you’re wearing in this episode!))

[@musingwithreba9667]

that is an amazing tree house! And I love your Creepy Kula Cloth Kitty pants! 😂

[@stormin46]

Nice. You was in my neck of the woods. Glad you had a Great Time.

[@MirandaGoesOutside]

Heck yeah! I love Asheville NC area!

[@kmannewyork]

That is totally cool. I love that place. I wish I could stay there and I’m going to North Carolina next month.

[@rluxon]

So awesome. Thanks for all the amazing videos. On a side note, more Pam! Just watched her first and second backpack camps. More of those videos please.

[@MirandaGoesOutside]

I’m hoping to bring Pam back soon!! She’s just had a wee bebé so it might be a bit 💚

[@angelapeterson2413]

Nice Kula CVK pants! I like the yellow pants too, super cute!

[@uga.d4173]

Cool concept... but thems some skinny-ass trees for a house!

The bird was so perfectly edited in😂

As someone who was born and raised in Asheville, I am glad you enjoyed it and this is why I will probably always live here.

[@twitchy_bird]

Me too homie. Me too.

[@jeniferokeywsu]

Way cooler than the potato! 😂

[@MirandaGoesOutside]

Look I don’t want to pick favorites… but yes, better than the potato 🤫

[@Minnow1970]

There are treehouses in Toledo, built by the metroparks. Amazing and you should come here!

[@RossNovak]

Won’t these trees die?? Since the tops are cut

[@sarahatkinson-ll6mo]

This was so special and cool! Yay Asheville :). What book are you reading?

[@Meraleigh8487]

I love that area! Awesome treehouse! Also, those pants are awesome! Can you share where you got them?🙏🏻

[@ItsTOUGHtobeFascinating]

Cumberland Island, GA. They have wild horses. No cars allowed, you take a ferry boat.

[@Telthar]

Darn, it looked like it had a winch for hauling gear, the child in me was hoping to see you use that to haul the gear up (maybe they didn't have the rope for it available and I suppose packing rope to use a winch isn't something most people pack).

[@riley1x3y]

I really need to go here. But also, I really need to know about the pants at the end

Rainer visiting the treehouse in the morning: There's an eye-opener, and no mistake!

[@michaelbruchas6663]

Wondering if they lift supplies and the furniture up rather than climbing all of them stairs? I would love that floor plan for a micro-cabin on the GROUND, too..

[@skulleigh5867]

I would love to stay there except those stairs do NOT look structurally sound to me 😂

[@monsterhog1118]

The entire thing does not look structurally sound to me

[@jessig9344]

Ya, those stairs are missing center bracing

[@katemann2877]

That's beautiful! Where does Rainer go when you stay at these tiny places?

[@MirandaGoesOutside]

This treehouse actually has a sister cabin a few hundred yards away, and Rainer stayed there with Tucker, his elderly doggo. THAT cabin was amazing too - but very much on the ground 😁

[@MariekaJackson]

I'm so conflicted about treehouse because obviously they're incredible but I always feel bad for the trees and the added weight they have, the possible stunted growth from it, and the damage of nails and such. I may have watched Ferngully too much as a kid. || I love that you lost your fear of the height as soon as you started being an ass to make the place sway. || Yes! Please do start to incorporate local hiking into these videos!

[@warandpoetry9542]

Oo what are you reading? You should start a channel book club!

[@sheena73kial36]

Cheeeers🎉

[@Zkuloops]

Now I want to built a treehouse LOL

[@MirandaGoesOutside]

Seriously!! This was such treehouse inspiration.

[@jacegilbert9173]

Miranda in the Airbnb

[@willalfano8]

its like a firewatch , but in a tree

[@paddle_hike]

haha pretty cool!!! You should never hike fire towers trails If you're scared of this cabin, just saying. But that was awesome! Thanks for sharing.

[@deltasafarishow]

You made Fresca!

[@heidifranklin8031]

Absolutely epic!! I’m looking into staying at a converted fire tower, if I can reconcile the whole height thing. BTW, what book were you reading?

[@darcistephenson5359]

Was wondering the same thing.

[@thomasdeldaele8783]

What was the winch used for? Getting the pee bucket down without using the stairs?

[@chelseaalix6913]

Fun series! Curious mind of a bookworm wants to know, what book you are reading?
