This is an extremely unique treehouse that's not really a treehouse because it just seems like it would be too heavy for a tree to support! But there are plenty of trees around this place.

For a while now my wife and I have been on this treehouse kick and we've been looking at different treehouses around the state to visit and stay in. Most recently I've discovered and shared a five-level treehouse in Lindale and another one in Tyler and now I've run across an interesting one that is made of shipping containers just north of Commerce. This one goes one level more than the five-level treehouse in Lindale though, this one has six levels to it.

This unique stay will create a very memorable experience.

It's made of those metal shipping containers that float across the ocean on those big container ships. This place turns those containers on their ends and transforms them into a modern farmhouse feel on the inside and gives you an unobstructed 360-degree view of northeast Texas high above the trees in the crow's nest on the sixth level. This metal box treehouse also features five balconies along with a screened-in hot tub on the third level.

Nature is all aound the 'Air Castle' in Commerce.

While relaxing in a hammock on the fourth level you might catch some of the local wildlife frolicking in the trees or on the ground around the 'Air Castle' (as it's listed on Airbnb). Deer, raccoons, armadillos, rabbits, squirrels, hawks and more have been spotted around the property.

There are plenty of activities on site.

From hot rubbing, to hanging in the hammock, to sitting by a roaring fire this place has quite a bit to offer with more activities not that far away. This place is bookmarked now for a future stay!
