Tree house vacations offer a unique blend of childhood nostalgia and adult adventure, making them an increasingly popular choice for those seeking a fantasy getaway. These elevated hideaways nestled in the canopy offer a chance to reconnect with nature and experience the world from a different perspective. Planning your treehouse vacation, however, requires a bit more thought than a standard hotel stay. Magical Forest Resort would like to share some essential tips to ensure your treetop retreat is as magical as it sounds.

How Do You Make a Treehouse Vacation Fun?

Determine Your Comfort Level – Treehouses range from rustic to luxurious. Decide what level of comfort you need. Are you okay with a simple, back-to-basics style, or do you prefer a treehouse with all the modern amenities? Your comfort level will significantly influence your choice of treehouse.
Research the Location – The location of your treehouse will dictate the type of experience you will have. Some are located in remote forests, offering complete seclusion, while others are part of larger resorts with all of the comfort of most hotels. Consider whether you want total isolation or prefer being close to civilization.
Check Accessibility – Treehouses are inherently elevated, which means they might require climbing stairs or ladders. This could be an issue for those with mobility challenges or a fear of heights. Ensure you are comfortable with how you will be accessing your treehouse.
Understand the Facilities – Facilities in treehouses vary. Some might not have electricity or running water, relying on solar lights and communal bathrooms. Others might offer luxury fittings like hot tubs and air conditioning. Check the facilities beforehand so there are no surprises.
Pack Accordingly – Packing for a treehouse stay can be different from a typical vacation. Depending on the location and the amenities, you might need to bring additional supplies like flashlights, insect repellent, suitable footwear for climbing, and warm clothing for cooler tree-level temperatures.
Weather Considerations – The weather can greatly affect your treehouse experience. Rain can make access challenging and may limit your outdoor activities. On the other hand, warm weather might invite unwanted insect guests. Check the forecast and prepare accordingly.
Plan Your Meals – If your treehouse is remote and doesn’t offer food service, you will need to plan your meals. Some treehouses come with a kitchen, while others might require you to bring your cooking gear. Plan and pack your meals, keeping in mind you are up in a tree.
Respect Nature – Remember, you are staying in the heart of nature. Be mindful of your impact on the surrounding environment. Avoid disturbing wildlife and adhere to a leave-no-trace philosophy.
