Even if you are not a fan of tiny houses, it is easy to fall in love with this trailer’s rustic charm.

    Whimsical Treehouses

    Go off-grid with these glorious homes perched high on the treetops:

    • Treehouse by the Ocean in Batangas: In this vibrant and proudly local hut located in sunny Calatagan, guests can enjoy a private pool, coral reef beach and starry night skies perfect for stargazing. It’s also near Cape Santiago Lighthouse for a quick historical trip.

A bantawan (covered bamboo deck) for private events and movie night experiences inside the mini forest is a bonus point.
