Sometimes a vacation calls for booking 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 never guaranteed to cue up your Spotify playlist of soothing sounds). Here, the coolest sky-high spaces that come with everything you need to clear your head of email notifications and enjoy the simpler things: wood-burning hot tubs, porch swings, firepits, and of course, huge windows for gazing out at the surroundings.
