This place is called the Captains Quarters hosted by Robert on Airbnb. If you love a sea-themed vibe in the trees, you will love this. Here's how he describes it on the Airbnb listing:

Upon entering you are treated to the huge map of the world as you look up in the 13' vaulted entryway. A small window seat area with a small collection of old books to explore! The wrap around deck with gas grill provides a laid back environment to enjoy the panoramic views of the surrounding forest! The 2nd floor bedroom includes 10' vaulted ceiling which provides plenty of Windows for 360 degree views of the forest from the comfort of the queen sized bed, step out on the balcony which features a whimsical "outhouse" with year round compost toilet and a outdoor hot water shower nearly 30' off the ground!

He's not kidding. The shower is way up there.

The visitors appear happy. With nearly 200 reviews, the average on Airbnb is a nearly perfect 4.96 out of 5 as of this writing. I'm not sure about availability, but the cost to stay here as of now is $191 per night.

Robert has even more pics on the full Airbnb listing if you'd like to play the role of a sea captain up in the trees near Nauvoo.
