After some failing, a lot of climbing, nailing and daring construction attempts, the second edition of The Pine Hut was built in 2006.
The Pine Hut was the first Treetop hut in Norway that was approved for accomodation and rental - something we are very proud of! It was a great success, with much media coverage and a huge interest from guests.

In 2009 the Treetop Huts was converted to a corporation, where the landowner Veldre Almenning became co-owner.

The Larch Hut was built this year. It was larger than the Pine Hut, and improved with solar panels, shower and a bio toilet inside of the hut. Builder and friend, Steinar Kråbøl, became more and more important in the process.

Increasing demands led to the building of The Spruce Hut , which was built in 2011. This hut was built with a 35m long wooden ramp, instead of stairs, to make it accessible for strollers and wheelchairs. We now had an offer for people with mobility challenges and families with young children that needed a stroller brought up to the hut. 

In 2013 The Sky Hut was created. This was our first hut with roof windows over the sleeping loft, where you can lay down and look up at the starry sky.
 We were so lucky to collaborate with Dorthe Skappel and "Good kveld, Norge". A show called  "Himmelhytta " was broadcasted on the tv channel TV2 over several Saturday nights. Although Himmelhytta was already in high demand, it became no less popular after this program.

In 2014 we built The Birch Hut , also with roof windows like the Sky Hut, but it got a bigger terrace and two big sliding doors with direct access to the terrace. This way the Birch Hut got a lighter and more feminin design than the other huts.  

In the spring of 2017 we built The Climbing Hut at Helgøya, by Helgøya Climbing Park. What’s special about this hut is that it was built in a collaboration with Pete Nelson and his team from the Treehouse Masters. It became a very exciting building- and film- project that resulted in a 50 minutes documentary shown at Animal Planet.   

At the moment, we have seven Treetop huts that are available for rent. In 2022 we built the last one, View Nest, which is totally different from the other huts. It is built in one tree, and you can manually turn the cabin around. The first one in the world, we think!

The treetop huts are complicated to design, and expensive to build. The wear and tear from wind and weather may call for comprehensive maintenance needs. Treetop huts are not permanent buildings, they have a limited lifetime. This means that after their time is up, the huts will be dismantled. Nature gets the trees and the area back - and we thank nature very much for borrowing it.

The Treetop Huts have become a way of life for the cohabitants Frode Schei and Ann-Mari Jahr. We hope that a stay in our Treetop Huts will give many of you, both children and the elderly, great nature experiences and memories for life!
