Location: Stanley, Virginia

Price: $150+ per night

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/24630929 

Backing on to the Shenandoah National Forest and just a 20-minute drive from Luray, this Virginia treehouse rental sleeps six guests across three bedrooms, with dogs allowed on the premises for a supplement.

It’s less than two hours by car to Washington DC, but you can be hiking on the iconic Appalachian Trail within moments. This is the type of place you want if you want to get away from it all for a while – in the winter 4WD vehicles are often needed to get access. Don’t think the seclusion means you lose out on amenities however. You can expect spacious, modern and well-appointed accommodation.

How might a perfect day here unfold? Start by enjoying your morning coffee out on the deck listening to the wind ruffling the trees and the creek burbling along. Then pack up for a day of hiking trails in the forest, touring vineyards, canoeing or fishing in a community lake. And come back in the afternoons to put your feet up around the wood-burning stove. Bliss.

Trailside Treehouse – Riverside in Richmond, VA

Location: Richmond, Virginia

Price: $270+ per night

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/20724950 

Ranked by Airbnb as one of the best places to stay in all Virginia, this is the kind of treehouse that you dream of building (and living in!) as a kid. It’s not luxurious, it’s not glamping, it’s a fantasy treehouse designed by a renowned Richmond architect, and resembling a fire tower in appearance.

Spanning two stories, the treehouse is built from reclaimed redwood and sits in the backyard of a private home. You’ll have a private entrance to the main house’s basement where there is a bathroom and lounge area. Sleeping six comfortably, the treehouse itself is accessed over a rope bridge, and offers hammocks, a fire pit, and complementary bike hire.

There are plenty of riverside trails in the area to explore on foot or two wheels, including the popular Buttermilk Trail. The treehouse is set on five wooded acres, and is dog-friendly too so there’s no need to leave the pooch at home.

Price: $130+ per night

If you’re looking for a place where you can really disconnect from the modern world, this cosy, shaker-style cabin will be just the ticket. Set 1500 feet up Massanutten Mountain, with stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah National Park, the cabin offers blissful seclusion and some truly epic sunrises. Black bears roam the woods in search of berries. 

Your rustic mountain hideaway has no cable, no WiFi.

There is a bathroom built from reclaimed wood, and a grill on the deck with a set of rocking chairs you’ll fall in love with. This is a great treehouse for groups, sleeping six across two bedrooms and futons in the living room.

Convenient both for Charlottesville, and Shenandoah National Park with its waterfalls, wildflower meadows and wood hollows where deer and black bear roam, this Virginia treehouse is tucked away on a private hillside amid 10 forested acres.
