The 18 Best Treehouse Airbnbs to Take Your Next Vacation to New Heights

Whether you grew up escaping into a backyard treehouse or wishing you had a treehouse to escape into, you'll appreciate the refuge offered by the best treehouse Airbnbs. After everything we’ve been through the past 18 months or so, we could all use some time away from it all—preferably tucked away high above the tree line, with nothing but sweeping views and a peaceful breeze to keep you company.

Fortunately, there are some pretty epic treehouses on Airbnb, primed and ready to help you reclaim your sense of childlike wonder. For a far-flung, fairy tale escape, try a luxury treehouse in Bali or a sweet spot with ocean views in a small village in Japan.

Whatever vibe you’re after, a treetop getaway is the way to go if you’re pining for a restorative escape. So turn on your out-of-office and book a stay at one of the best treehouse Airbnbs around the world. If you decide to quit your job and never come home, we won’t blame you. (While you're here, check out our listings of some of the best Airbnbs—period—in the continental USA).

Sustainability might’ve been top of mind for the owners of this Bali treehouse, but they didn’t skimp on the wow factor. To minimize impact on the earth beneath it, the studio itself is elevated on stilts—and yes, the view from the top is well worth the climb up the spiral staircase. It boasts floor-to-ceiling windows that provide sprawling 360 degree views from both floors, and a main floor that includes a lounge area, bathroom, and wooden mid-century kitchenette. Trying to squeeze in as many steps as possible while on vacation? The upstairs mezzanine hosts a queen-size bed accessible by ladder.

It also features a high-powered heater that’ll make cold winter nights feel positively toasty and a bathroom in the ground level cabin, with a shower accessible in the main house next door. (The fire pit below is a perfect spot to kick back and unwind after a long day of doing absolutely zilch.) Best part? The freshly baked bread prepared by the hosts each morning.

There’s no WiFi (and very minimal cell service) at this luxurious Perryville treehouse—but that’s kind of the point.

The bathroom comes kitted out with a rain shower for two, a soaking tub, and a well-stocked selection of plush robes for the full at-home spa experience. Head outside to take advantage of a well-lit fire pit, a hot tub, and a separate deck for grilling.

This elevated home is like your childhood treehouse on steroids. (And with plumbing.)
