Everything about Treetops Restaurant exudes nature: From the name of the road on which it sits (Evergreen Lane) to the outdoor seating surrounded by trees, lush in the summer and bare in the winter. A seat indoors promises sweeping views of the trees surrounding the restaurant that caters to vegans, vegetarians, and carnivores.
4. Lake In Wood – Narvon

Lake In Wood isn't technically near Pittsburgh - unless you consider nearly a four hour drive close - but it definitely makes a pretty amazing summer road trip destination. Lake In Wood, a sprawling campground in Lancaster County, features a variety of interesting accommodations. Live a childhood dream by sleeping in the rustic treehouse that promises seclusion and tranquility. Or, stay in a covered wagon, a tee pee, or an old rail car.

5. The Castle Treehouse – Ligonier

Not a whole lot is known about The Castle Treehouse in Ligonier but it certainly is a sight to behold. (Click above for a tour courtesy of YouTube’s 28thMPretiree.) The plywood treehouse towers 36 feet above the ground and features a zipline and a picturesque spiral staircase.
