Winter gives you the chance to try some of Vermont’s award-winning ski resorts, such as Stowe Mountain Resort in the north and Killington Mountain Resort right in the center of the state.

Finally, a summer trip to Vermont gives you the opportunity to stay outdoors all day for hiking, biking, or fishing across the scenic countryside. You can then end your day with a pint of Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream, which is locally produced in Burlington, Vermont.
Of course, at any time of the year, you will have access to Vermont’s legendary hiking trails through the rugged mountain peaks of the Appalachian and the lush wilderness. If you have more time, you can also check out one of the many quintessential small towns and cities that radiate New England charm, such as Burlington, Manchester, Grafton, or Shelburne.

Crystal said: “What an incredible experience! We weren’t sure what to expect, but it was amazing. As soon as we arrived, Derek met us to walk us to the tree house. He drove our bags up in his UTV to save us a trip. He was very descriptive and we loved hearing him talk about the work he has put into the tree houses on the property and his future plans. The place was clean and the workmanship blew our minds! We had a relaxing fire, a grill to make dinner, and a warm outdoor shower. Lights were helpful on the outside of the treehouse and we were thankful for WiFi since we didn’t have service otherwise. He had a fun variety of K-cups for the morning and extra warm blankets to keep us warm. We loved this place and didn’t want to leave!”

Shannon said: “Fantastic, unique AirBnb! This place has to be one of the best in Vermont! The craftsmanship of the cabin is unbelievable. So many details built in to the space and the decor is beautiful (rustic chic). The host was great with timely communication. Check-in was easy. The kitchen has every utensil/appliance we needed (we loved the coffee press). The cabin is cozy and super comfortable with a soft leather couch and great bedding, linens, and plenty of blankets. The location of this place is perfect to enjoy a weekend away from hustle and bustle, yet just a few minutes drive from great restaurants in the downtown. Absolutely a fantastic experience!”

Here is a beautiful treehouse cabin that was built by “The Treehouse Guys,” a local Vermont design and building company that specializes in custom treehouses. They were also featured in their own reality treehouse show for 3 seasons on the DIY Network.
The treehouse offers enough space for 2 queen beds, one in the loft and one on the main floor. There is also a single burner stove and a small refrigerator in case you would like to prepare some food. Best of all, the treehouse is built with plenty of windows and an outdoor porch that provide a stunning view of the surrounding nature around you. Please note that there is no shower installed in the treehouse and that the toilet is located outside in a separate porta potty.
The treehouse is located near Camel’s Hump State Park in the Green Mountains range in northern Vermont and there is a hiking trail that starts right next to the cabin. You can enjoy some spectacular views from the treehouse or during your walks into the park, making it the perfect location to view the fall foliage.
Additionally, the Waterbury Village Historic District is only about a 20-30 minute drive away. There, you can take a tour of the Ben & Jerry’s factory, where they make about 350,000 pints per day. Also, Sugarbush Ski Resort and Stowe Mountain Resort are only a 30 to 40 minute drive, too.

Kristoffer said: “Derek was a great host. Super friendly and helpful. The treehouse is amazing. We woke up every morning with beautiful views of misty treetops without even leaving the comfortable king size bed. Then enjoying our coffee on the porch while watching the beavers at work in the pond below. Then we could walk to the river which is right there on the property and splash around with the dog. The surrounding area has plenty of hiking trails and there are some small towns if you need to get anything. Long review short, there are plenty of things to do, or enjoy doing absolutely nothing.”

Nicole said: “What a wonderful treat to experience an Airbnb owner who takes such pride in their space, goes above and beyond in so many aspects, and creates a wonderful experience for all who stay. The place felt MAGICAL, I don’t know how else to describe it!! Great local recommendations, felt wonderful to unplug and immerse in nature for awhile, and hearing the sound of the stream as you fall asleep was the cherry on top. Was a little nervous about the “compost toilet” but it was completely fine and the bathroom at the main house was close by with a lovely shower and amenities. Couldn’t recommend this place more, if you are on the fence, BOOK! Magical treehouse stay :)”
