High-end treehouse accommodations, like those seen in the popular television series Treehouse Masters, have taken the luxury camping industry to new heights — literally. And these sky-high, amenity-filled oases aren’t merely accessible through cable television. Many treetop hideaways can actually be rented out for weekend stays, parties and even weddings. AD scoured the globe — from New Zealand’s Kaikoura Mountains to Ohio’s Amish Country — to find 12 awe-inspiring, rentable treehouses most definitely worth the climb.
Treehouse Masters fans will recognize this Atlanta hideaway, which was named Airbnb’s number one most wish-listed property in 2016. The treehouse comprises three separate rooms and a deck, all connected by a network of rope bridges. $375 per night via Airbnb.

The second Treehouse Masters star to make our list, the Little Red Treehouse in Ohio was originally built as a brewery and tasting center and is now an overnight guest suite.

Last year, the Treehotel in Swedish Lapland opened a new 1,950-square-foot Snøhetta-designed room perched 10 meters above ground.
