A Scots man who created a caravan treehouse out his backdoor is now renting the quirky space for £20 per night – with guests describing the experience as ‘amazing’.
The caravan is 12ft in the air up a tree in the Aberdeenshire village of Rhynie.
Owner Jake Williams, from Inverness, says it is the perfect place for a cheap weekend away and he even planted the Norwegian spruce tree himself, later adding the 1960s caravan.
The 72-year-old rents out the caravan treehouse for £20 per night and he’s proud to say that he’s never seen another.
He said: “It’s just an ordinary caravan from the 1960s, and I used to use it when I was travelling around Scotland for work.
“I’ve had the caravan for decades, and then I decided it would be a great idea to turn it into a treehouse where guests can stay.
“It easily sleeps two people as there is a double, but it does fit three people too. It would just be a bit crowded.
“There is a bit of a steep staircase that leads up to the caravan. The caravan is located out in the yard of my home.
“There is no mains electricity and there is a dry composting toilet on the ground. I also make sure that guests know that there are no showering facilities available.
“Despite there being no electricity, there are some paraffin lamps and head torches available for guests to use to help them see at night.”
