The Best Treehouse Rentals on Airbnb Are a Childhood Fantasy Come TrueGet away from it all in a secluded retreat several feet off the groundPhoto: Shuichi YamadaSometimes a vacation calls for checking into a luxury hotel so you never have to lift a finger, but the best treehouse rentals on Airbnb offer a different take on relaxation entirely—one that prioritizes premium views, nature, and all the outdoor activities you can squeeze into a weekend. From Appalachian chalets to glass houses surrounded by foliage, we’ve uncovered some of coolest treehouse rentals that will help you touch grass and relive your childhood days among the treetops.At any of these picturesque cabins (and A-frames!) across the country, you can wake up to desktop-worthy views on all sides and the sound of rustling leaves as your white noise (Wi-Fi is optional and not guaranteed). Here, the coolest sky-high spaces that come with everything you need to clear your head and enjoy the simpler things: wood-burning hot tubs, porch swings, firepits, and of course, huge windows for gazing out at the surroundings.Spiral TreehouseLocation: Nago, JapanPerks: Soaking tub, private patio with furniture, full kitchen, EV chargingThis booking comes with not one but two treetop spaces, starting with the smaller Spiral Treehouse, a feat of engineering. Its entire weight is suspended from the branches of a living Akagi tree, without a single support column fixed into the ground. A spiral staircase climbs to the 133-square-foot room, where the tree passes through the roof to a terrace tucked among the branches. If you need a little more room, the neighboring AeroHouse is stocked with more comforts, including a king bed, L-shaped sofa, daybed, full kitchen, coffee setup, and a bathroom with both a shower and soaking tub. One entire wall is glass, keeping the forest front and center. One caveat for families: Children under 10 aren’t permitted due to the elevated rooms. From $1,196 per night.Secluded Forest RetreatLocation: Western Isles, United KingdomPerks: Patio, soaking tub, fireplace, pet-friendlyThis rental has the scale and comforts of a small modern cabin, just lifted into the trees. Raised on timber supports, it’s finished in pale wood with simple furnishings and a wood-burning stove at the center of the living space. Large windows frame the forest and the beach beyond, including in the bathroom, where a freestanding tub sits beside a picture window. A king bed, full kitchen, reclining sofa, separate shower, and private balcony round out the cabin’s more-than-comfortable stay. From $943 per night.TallkottenLocation: Värnamo, SwedenPerks: Free parking, pet-friendly, private patio, outdoor showerTallkotten may be completely off-grid, but the interiors are surprisingly polished. Pale wood wraps the floors and walls, contrasted by a dark slatted ceiling, live-edge counter, and a mix of bentwood and sling chairs. The best seat is beside an enormous, nearly floor-to-ceiling square window that frames a seemingly endless stretch of Småland forest. Two double beds are stacked to save space, leaving room for a sofa, dining table, and simple kitchen setup with a gas stove. There’s no electricity or running water—this is off-grid, after all—but drinking water is provided, and candles and battery lamps keep things cozy after dark. From $338 per night.Dreamy Tropical Tree HouseLocation: Nago, JapanPerks: Outdoor furniture and patio, self check-in, kitchenetteThis handmade bamboo treehouse is perched 15 feet above the jungle floor, with a wraparound lanai and a trapdoor entrance that make the most of its treetop setting. Inside, bamboo fixtures mix with vintage 1970s wallpaper, handcrafted porthole windows, and a platform bed, while a second hanging bed is suspended beneath the house at ground level. The bathroom nearly opens to the jungle, thanks to floor-to-ceiling jalousie windows, and the shower runs on rainwater collected from the roof. The treehouse is remote without feeling entirely unplugged: Solar energy and a rainwater catchment keep things running, while a small kitchenette and coffee maker covers the essentials. From $370 per night.Luxury Tree House X Magical Romantic ForestLocation: Fredericksburg, TexasPerks: Recently built with modern amenities, access to large swimming pool and saunaThis ultramodern treehouse in Fredericksburg, Texas is also part jungle gym, as you’ll see from the netting built into the dining room ceiling. This stay is one of many you’ll find as part of the larger Onera resort, which means guests can enjoy the amenities at the larger facility, including an outdoor pool and sauna that’ll make unwinding from your day in Hill Country a delight. Whether you’ve got a checklist of local wineries to tour or simply plan to while away the days on the generous deck with a vantage point of the surrounding treeline, this space will make an excellent home base. From $776 per night.The Forestry HouseLocation: Rest, South CarolinaPerks: Outdoor shower, firepit, deckAt this treehouse located in Rest, South Carolina, the operative word is “rest.” Relaxation closely follows. Whether you plan to take advantage of the outdoor shower in summer or bask in the glorious mountain views in the winter, you’ll fall in love with the setting either way. Thanks to the wood-paneled ceilings and glass walls that frame the surrounding woods, feeling one with nature here isn’t a stretch, and you can enjoy all the comforts of modern living while you recenter. Green kitchen cabinetry, live-edge shelving, and a plethora of natural materials that thread through the home continue the woodsy theme. From $361 per night.Secluded In-Town TreehouseLocation: Atlanta, GeorgiaPerks: Romantic interiors, luxury linens, hammockFor the spiritually inclined, or those looking to get more in touch with their senses on their next getaway, the Secluded In-Town Treehouse has a “mind, body, and spirit” theme: The sitting room is the “mind,” the bedroom is the “body,” and the hammock is the “spirit.” The treehouse, propped up on a 165-year-old, southern, shortleaf pine tree and surrounded by rope bridges, also has huge windows from which you can spend the entire day gaping out at the stunning Sacred Forest. From $271 per night.Willow TreehouseLocation: Willow, New YorkPerks: Hot tub, mountain view, swimmable pondThe Catskill Mountains are known for having a plethora of intimate, rustic lodgings, and the Willow Treehouse doesn’t disappoint. The modern build of the tree house was designed by Antony Gibbon and built by William Johnson. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room and bedroom overlook the woods and the swimmable pond. Plus there’s a full kitchen with a modern aesthetic, if your travel crew likes to prep at home. Don’t forget to soak in the wood-burning hot tub. From $456 per night.TreefLoft at Base CampLocation: Perryville, MissouriPerks: Deck, rain shower, bathtubFor a design-focused treehouse experience, consider TreeLoft at BaseCamp. A skylight just above the king-size bed allows for nocturnal sky gazing with a remote solar shade to keep you sleeping in the wee morning hours. There’s a rain shower for two in the walk-through bathroom, a relaxing soaking tub, and plush robes for your comfort. The kitchen offers an indoor-outdoor coffee bar and tiny appliances for all your cooking needs. Outside you’ll find a hot tub placed next to towering, eastern, red cedar trees with a privacy fence, a separate deck for grilling or nesting in the trees, and a firepit below with ambient lighting for s’mores or storytelling to make this a one-of-a-kind experience. From $587 per night.Luxury Treehouse with Views of the SierrasLocation: Visalia, CaliforniaPerks: Mountain view, shared outdoor pool, barbequeFor a modern, design-forward tree house experience, look no further than this luxury treehouse with views of the Sierra, resting just steps away from a 300-acre almond farm. The treehouse bedroom has a beautiful wooden bed frame with a Casper mattress and a cozy fireplace for cool evenings. Take nature walks around the area that could lead to chance encounters with opossums, red-tailed hawks, owls, and red foxes. From $268 per night.The Treeframe CabinLocation: Index, WashingtonPerks: Hot tub, beach access, fireplaceFairytales do exist in real life, and this A-frame treehouse with a direct view of the forest will make you a believer. An elegant, modern take on the traditional treehouse, it leans into wraparound pine walls and cozy, muted furnishings.

From $654 per night.Oceanview TreehouseLocation: Aptos, CaliforniaPerks: Three decks, beach access, washer and dryerMost treehouses come with, well, treetop views—but this gem does you one better.

Locationwise, the home is right next to The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park. It’s the best of both natural worlds, with hiking trails and water activities nearby. But it’ll be hard to leave the treehouse—because of the expertly designed space, you can take in the views from every corner. From $684 per night.The Stone and Timber TreehouseLocation: Concord, North CarolinaPerks: Shared pool, shared hot tub, backyardTwo and a half hours from Asheville, this luxe treehouse sits on 40 acres of farmland.

And on the topic of coffee: Guests have the option of booking a coffee tasting at the farm, where they can roast their own brew. From $200 per night.The Highland TreehouseLocation: Sugarcreek, OhioPerks: Balcony, fireplace, hammockThis quite literally elevated A-frame sits 20 feet above the ground, overlooking a private pond and elk farm.
