As adults operating in a world with gloomy headlines and hefty bills, maintaining a sense of childlike wonder can be a challenge. That’s why we love these Airbnb treehouses, which encourage imaginative play and relaxation as you literally rise above the stressors of everyday life.

But you don’t have to sacrifice creature comforts — we chose these Airbnb treehouses for having grown-up perks like Jacuzzi tubs, cinematic views, feather beds and climate control, along with best-in-class interior aesthetics, like a bathroom sink carved from a tree trunk. Most are close to major US cities like LA, Chicago and NYC, to make climbing in and out a breeze.

If none of the treehouses on this list suit your fancy, then search the site for yourself — it has over 2,600 sky-high retreats up for rent, each with a unique point of view.

Airbnb safety procedures during COVID-19

In early June 2020, Airbnb provided hosts with a set of enhanced cleaning protocols with step-by-step instructions for sanitizing between guests. Hosts can take a quiz to illustrate their protocol understanding. If they pass, their listing will get an Enhanced Clean indicator — offering further peace of mind that the property has undergone rigorous cleaning prior to your arrival.

Check the description of each property to understand how the host has responded to the COVID-19 pandemic. You can even send a message to ask about their cleaning methods directly.

Airbnb cancellation policy during COVID-19

Airbnb is encouraging hosts to offer more flexible cancellation policies during the COVID-19 pandemic. Read the host’s policy carefully before booking to make sure you understand the risk up front.
