Lavish French doors and large windows open from the bottom out and complete the whimsical space. The treehouse consists of three distinct areas connected by bridges: a bedroom, living room, and a hammock deck.

Though this is a relatively remote and unplugged stay, you will be just a short drive away from the town of Capitan if you need to pick up supplies or do some shopping. Also nearby is the incredible Lincoln national forest.
Roosted at the top of a spiral staircase, the dark exteriors of the treehouse are punctuated by a front porch that includes sitting chairs for your relaxing morning cup of coffee or some stargazing at night. And there’s even a swinging porch chair just below the house.
Inside, a cozy setup awaits you with a Full-size bed, a small table attached to the wall, a tree limb growing through it, and a kitchen with marble countertops and a turquoise mini-fridge.
The en-suite bathroom has a Southwestern feel with a cacti-tiled sink and a blue-tiled walk-in shower.

Held up by a few separate trees, this fairytale treehouse has an EXTREMELY cool added feature… a zipline! When you wake up, you can zip your way down to the ground after enjoying your morning cup of Joe.
Settle in the Adirondack chairs on the deck with a good book, a tree growing through it, and then take a dip in the stock tank tub for some more unwinding. The inside is equally charming, with a bunch of retro turquoise appliances, a fireplace, artistic tiling, and pine walls.
Upstairs, you’ll find a Queen-sized bed, and also a comfy net hammock, just perfect for watching TV, and a pullout couch. And even though you’ll feel like you’re a world away, this site is an easy 10-minute drive from downtown Portland.
7. Vineyard Fairytale Treehouse In Los Gatos, California
Usual Price: $255
Sleeps: 2 Guests/1 Bedroom
Wine country comes with fantastic views at this cozy getaway for two in California. This fairytale treehouse is perched up high in some Douglas Fir trees, located on Lago Lomita Vineyards overlooking Monterey Bay.
It’s accessible by a ladder/staircase, and this option is really a picturesque 400sqft glamping canvas tent resting on a wooden platform.
The tent itself is just big enough for a Queen-sized bed and a couple of nightstands, but the platform doubles as an unbelievable porch with phenomenal scenery. The only downside to this property is that the bathroom is separate.
A full bathroom is accessible to guests in the main house on the property, just a short walking distance from the treehouse.

The spiral staircase has been custom crafted around a giant Douglas fir tree, and two living trees grow through the home, along with two outdoor decks.
Even though there is just one main bedroom, the treehouse can sleep up to four visitors since there are padded seating areas that can be put together to make extra sleeping space in the main room.
The location itself is a significant draw since this fairytale treehouse is located right near the entrance of Glacier National Park and just a few minutes away from the slopes of the Whitefish Mountain Ski Resort.
