Perched high above a Swedish forest in Harads, Treehotel's Mirrorcube feels less like a treehouse and more like a whisper — one that reflects its world back at you. Its mirrored facade blends so seamlessly with pines and sky, you might walk past without realizing it’s there. Until you step inside, and that illusion unravels.

At four meters squared in every direction, this cube is compact yet bold. From outside, it dissolves into its surroundings; from inside, it frames nature in cinematic clarity. Designed by Bolle Tham & Martin Videgård, it’s an architectural statement and a hidden retreat all at once. The mirrored shell camouflages aggressively, but the glass walls inside are portals — to trees, sky, forest floor, the dance of light.

Inside, the surfaces are minimal, warm, and purposeful. Birch plywood warms the walls and floor. Underfoot, heated floors keep cold Swedish nights at bay. The layout is simple: a double bed, a cozy seating nook, and large windows on all sides. There’s also a small bathroom (with a composting or incineration toilet) and a discreet balcony that lingers just beyond. You’ll wake up surrounded by forest reflections, not walls. It’s haunting, in a good way.

You reach Mirrorcube via a bridge about twelve meters long, suspended between trees. That crossing is part travel, part ritual — your footsteps echo, your anticipation builds. The cube itself hovers roughly 4 to 6 meters above the forest floor, sometimes nearly hidden, sometimes shimmering. That tension — between presence and camouflage — is the core thrill.

Mirrorcube sleeps two. It’s intimate, not indulgent. The focus isn’t scale, it’s depth — how deeply the forest seeps in. Space is pared back. The mirror breaks at windows, but elsewhere it holds tight. Stay long enough and you may question what’s real reflection and what’s window.

The best rates begin around 6 200 SEK per night, breakfast included, season dependent. In U.S. dollars, it’s comparable to around $545 a night for two, though prices vary by season and cabin choice. It’s not cheap. But ask anyone who’s stayed, and they talk about waking to forest that feels like a canvas, a place that resets time.

Mirrorcube is not just a stay-it’s a lens. It’s a place where forest becomes art and architecture blurs. You don’t just sleep among trees — you live within their reflection. And when morning light cracks through branches, you feel both invisible and infinitely present. That’s the kind of stay you don’t just remember — it changes how you see wood and sky.
