Treehouses (& other off-the-beaten-path vacations)

treehotel-harads-sweden

Every now and then someone will recommend a new source of off-the-beaten path vacation rentals, and I’ll find myself whiling away an hour, lost in a spell of wanderlust, favorite-ing and pinn-ing special places we might want to visit one day when a real opportunity arrives.

Glamping Hub reached out to say that they just added a treehouse collection to their already unique and inspiring list of yurts, teepees, safari tents, A-frames, railcars, and (one of my favorites) campervans—and the scope is amazing. The treehouses run the gamut from basic to bizarre, rustic to luxury, but they’re all pretty incredible.

Here are some favorites…
