Caravan hoisted 15ft up in a tree proves popular for some, but would you stay in it?
Fancy doing something different this summer, but are on a budget? Then this caravan may just be for you – as long as you don’t mind climbing 15ft up a tree to access it that is.
Jake Williams of Rhynie, Scotland, has placed an add on Airbnb advertising the two-berth caravan for hire, which forms part of his Bogancloch Treehouse, at just £17 a night.
Described as “shabby” and lacking mains electricity and internet facilities though, we here at CaravanTimes are not sure we’d survive the night, but, for those looking to be at one with nature, you certainly wouldn’t be barking up the wrong tree (excuse that).
It’s not without all of the amenities you’d expect though, and the caravan comes with an original gas cooker, with hotplates and a grill. Unfortunately though, the caravan lacks wash facilities, but we hear the showers at the local swimming pool are nice this time of year.
Be warned though: those looking to take advantage of the caravans with a view have been warned however: “It’s 15 miles to the hospital.. we don’t pay any public liability insurance, so if you’re a sleepwalker or a big drinker, please be careful.”
The caravan is no stranger to receiving attention either, having featured in a 2012 low-budget, award-wining arthouse movie starring actor, Jake Williams, which saw the caravan hoisted into the tree where it has remained since.
Judging by the 70 reviews on Airbnb’s website, Jake must be doing something right, but what do you reckon? is this something you might stay in? Let us know in the comments below.
