#1: Eagle’s Nest Tree House (Shenandoah)
It’s not hard to love this cabin up in the trees, especially when it’s described as both rustic and luxurious. This treehouse stay will delight your inner child.
This one bedroom treehouse is 17 feet above the ground. It has all the modern conveniences too, like a hot tub, wi-fi, gas fireplace and a screened porch.
There are hanging rope chairs on the deck and swinging play forts under the treehouse. As a bonus, this treehouse is close to Shenandoah National Park.
#2: The Joshua Tree House (Bridgewater)
This 400-square-foot treehouse is tucked away in a verdant pine forest, just waiting to be discovered. The porch allows for gorgeous river views.
This one bedroom treehouse sleeps two guests and wows with a walnut spiral staircase, salvaged barn beams and a gas fireplace, even a marble tile shower.
Guests at this tranquil treehouse cottage have access to two kayaks, a canoe and a fire pit. Natural Chimneys Regional Park is a short drive for hiking.
#3: Trailside Treehouse (Richmond)
Let me tell you, the Airbnb Trailside Treehouse makes all the “best of” lists. It’s on my must-go list too, but make note, this is no luxury treehouse.
There is no central air or heat. There is also no bathroom. You enjoy both in the host’s home, just steps from the treehouse. But, that’s not why you book.
You book for the experience of a stay in an actual two-story treehouse that has a slide and is near the Buttermilk Trail.
#4: Maury River Treehouse (Rockbridge Baths)
For a luxe treehouse rental with river views, book the Maury River Treehouse in Rockbridge County. This waterfront timber frame treehouse is beautiful.
This one bedroom stay sleeps up to four people and wows with a stone fireplace, a gourmet kitchen and a deck that’s ideal for wildlife watching.
Just nine miles from Lexington, this treehouse cabin is a short drive from Natural Bridge State Park for hiking and stargazing.
#5: Creeper Trail Treehouse (Abingdon)
Set on the Virginia Creeper Trail in Abingdon, this treehouse rental is a great home base for biking along the 34.3-mile Virginia Creeper Trail.
The Virginia Creeper Trail runs from Whitetop to Damascus, crossing over trestle bridges and alongside cooling streams all along this rail-to-trail route.
This two-story romantic treehouse has all the necessities, but do note that there is no wi-fi or television. Instead, hike Molly’s Knob.
