Cons
- Smaller Interiors: Because it’s a treehouse, the interiors are limited to smaller sizes. While we still have treehouses up to 4 bedrooms, they tend to be more compact.
- Affected by Weather: Because a treehouse is perched atop a tree, it was designed to grow with the trees. This means that there may be swaying with the tree, which can feel scary – even though it is safely secured!
- Difficult to Access: Some treehouses have several steps to access it, between the direct access and the resort. This can make it difficult to get luggage to your room and is not designed for those who struggle with steps.
While a treehouse getaway may nit be the best fit for everyone, it is a wonderful experience for nature-lovers, families with children, and many more! Looking for something specific?
