If you've ever wanted to spend a weekend in the woods to get away from it all, you've come to the correct location. Airbnb is a go-to when it comes to finding a place to stay on a holiday or a work trip, but it also has an outstanding collection of more diverse rentals that allow you to live out your childhood fantasies. Of course, we're talking about treehouses, and you may be astonished at how many there are on the site!
Fortunately, there are some pretty fantastic treehouses available on Airbnb, ready to help you recover your feeling of childlike wonder. Try a luxurious treehouse in Bali or a charming location with ocean views in a tiny village in Japan for a far-flung, fairy tale vacation. Perhaps you want to discover the rustic beauties of the English countryside, or maybe you want to spend your nights stargazing while submerged in a Finnish tub in the middle of an olive grove (yes, that is a thing, and we highly recommend it).
Whatever mood you're going for, a treetop retreat is a place to go if you're looking for a rejuvenating getaway. So, set your out-of-office message and book a stay at one of the top treehouse Airbnbs in the world. But, of course, we won't blame you if you quit your work and never return home. (If you're here, check out our listings of some of the greatest Airbnbs in the continental United States, period.)
Here are our selections for the top Airbnb treehouses in the United States, ranging from jungle huts in Hawaii to quiet mountain retreats in Montana.
