The amenities are more rustic than others on this list (compost toilet, outdoor shower, no Wi-Fi), but there’s also a spring-fed pond for swimming on the property so you won’t hear us complaining about anything. Large windows give you a view onto the pond and gardens, and the veranda invites you to sit in the evenings with a glass of wine, watching the sunset. Accessible via a rope bridge, the tree house offers enough room for up to seven guests to sleep between a queen bed and fold-out couch on the main floor, and additional beds in two separate sleeping lofts. Nestled in a small community of tiny homes, this treehouse is perched atop a 400-year-old oak tree 25 feet in the air. This whimsical tree house Airbnb rental (pictured above) is located on an 88-acre organic farm just a 20-minute drive south of Waterbury, Vermont (aka the home of the Ben & Jerry’s factory).

The home, on a 26-acre property bordered by the Upright Head Preserve, was named in a story on the Top 20 Airbnb U.S. Here are 23 tree house Airbnb rentals and hotels to get your greenery fix up close. The forest-side deck and porthole door are reached by crossing a bridge.

From Tanzania to Texas, lavish villas, honeymoon suites, suspended dining pods, and spa treatment pavilions are being built among the branches. Lofty, leafy accommodations have been popular for a while, but they’ve generally carried an element of “roughing it.” Now, a new generation of resorts and vacation rentals are taking tree houses to luxurious new heights.
