So you want to stay in a treehouse? Good news: these elaborate structures in the sky offer all the comforts of home with a birds-eye view.
Who doesn’t love a treehouse? Adults looking for something different in a vacation rental are eyeing treehouses as a fun way to reminiscence about the carefree days of childhood while being able to make new memories in a treetop hideaway. And there’s something extremely luxurious about having a crystal chandelier and soaking tub 15 feet above the earth.
And these aren’t your grandfather’s treehouses, by any means. You’ll find posh perks such as outdoor decks and showers, floor-to-ceiling windows, and an elevator (yes, an elevator) at these treehouses in Florida. They’re scattered around the state on farms, near theme parks, and in the heart of Miami itself.
So if you ever wanted to fulfill a dream of perching with the birds, here are some Florida treehouses for your vacation-planning pleasure.
