If the typical hotel stay is too passé, consider staying somewhere extraordinary during your next vacation—like a treehouse.
 
Treehouses are becoming a popular lodging option for travelers looking to create a memorable experience. In fact, the demand for treehouses increased more than 30% over the past year, according to vacation rental booking site HomeAway. “Groups and families want to combine outdoor adventure with the comforts of staying in a home away from home", Karen Fuller, HomeAway’s senior director of global market research, said in a statement.
 
Their design tends to be more whimsical and playful than your traditional hotel, and many are built from sustainable materials. That, along with the unparalleled sights, makes a stay in a treehouse abode a truly one-of-a-kind experience.
 
So if you're ready for a vacation filled with panoramic, bird's-eye views straight from your balcony or bedroom, we've compiled a shortlist of the top treehouse stays you can book right now.
