There’s something about a treehouse that just feels like magic, especially in the fall. The whimsical “homes”, tangled in branches and colorful leaves, remind us of childhood — complete with endless
imaginative adventures . But, as adults, revisiting one of these
nostalgic structures no longer needs to look like climbing up the withered old oak in our parents’ backyard and smacking our heads on a low-hanging piece of plywood.
Thanks to
Airbnb’s arboreal offerings, our treehouse dreams can become
vacation realities . The home-stay site surfaces some of its most popular treehouse listings in the world, and we’ve also gone ahead and taken an extra close look at what’s out there (and up there). And trust us, you can do way more than host a stuffed animal tea party in the stunning structures ahead — they’re designed for eating, sleeping, and enjoying outdoor seclusion with friends.
From
rustic structures to
luxury glamping , the 14 sublime treehouses ahead are brimming with all the nostalgic dreams of childhood
and the creature comforts of our adult lives.
