The Treehouse was built by Horace Burgess and for many years was an attraction that brought people off the Interstate along Cook Road to Beehive Lane. As minister Horace Burgess tells the story, was praying when God told him, “If you build a tree house, I’ll see that you never run out of material.” Inspired by this vision of God, the quiet minister set out to build the largest treehouse in the world.

According to the Atlas Obscura website, the tree house stands at 97 feet tall and is built on an 80-foot tall White Oak tree with a 12-foot diameter base. The tree house became too much of an attraction in 2012 and was closed by the Tennessee State Fire Marshal for fire code violations over the protests of many local residents and Mr. Burgess who said there were no building codes for treehouses.
