Vacations provide a break from your routine — and what better way to escape the mundane than a stay in a tree house?

Air conditioning, hot tubs, and upscale furnishings are available in tree house hotels ranging from rustic to luxurious.

Tree houses can be found all over the world, and they are ideal for couples, families, and groups of friends. Regardless of where you stay, common threads include a connection with nature, the tranquility of a secluded location, and the adventure and excitement of spending the night somewhere unique and different.
