a tree house in progress

Some "tree houses" are simply among the trees, but generally it refers to homes built off the ground in trees (or sometimes on stilts).

Most tree houses are not real homes, they are temporary oasis's or play area for children. Most are only a single room or platform with no plumbing or other utilities and no insulation. They may not even have walls or a roof. However, for safety, it is best to at least have a strong rail.

Access using a ladder is common. Some tree houses actually require tree climbing skills to reach. Others use a knotted rope or rope ladder to assist, and some have a fireman's pole for an exit.
