Sleeping in a treehouse

With a treehouse overnight stay, you stay in an accommodation made of wood and built above the ground among the trees. Treehouse stays vary widely in style and luxury. Some treehouses offer basic amenities such as a bed, lighting and possibly a small sitting area, while other treehouses have more luxurious amenities such as private bathrooms, kitchenettes and heating. The appeal of a treehouse stay lies mainly in the unique experience of being in nature and the cozy decor of the treehouse. Treehouse stays are currently very popular with both families and nature lovers looking for a special overnight stay.

Sleeping in a treehouse is a childhood dream come true for many. What once began as a simple wooden cabin among the branches has now grown into a full-fledged vacation concept. Nowadays there are treehouses for rent that are equipped with all conveniences: a good bed, kitchen, bathroom - and sometimes even a private hot tub. An overnight stay in a treehouse is not just about the accommodation itself, but mostly about the experience. You wake up among the trees, hear birds chirping instead of traffic, and at night have a view of the stars from your bed. Children experience it as an exciting adventure, while adults especially enjoy the tranquility and contact with nature. Those who like to stay in their own country can choose a treehouse overnight in the Netherlands, for example in the Achterhoek, on the Veluwe or in North Brabant. Those who prefer to go a little further can also find special treehouses in Belgium, often in green regions like the Ardennes or Limburg.

A luxury treehouse combines the charm of sleeping in nature with the comfort of a good hotel. Think of a spacious cabin on wooden poles with underfloor heating, rain shower and a panoramic view. More and more accommodations are adding extras, such as an outdoor pool or sauna. This creates a unique blend of adventure and relaxation. Whether you are looking for romance, tranquility or just a special stay: in a luxury treehouse you can literally and figuratively rise above it all. Especially the combination of comfort with nature makes these accommodations so popular. Some features of luxury treehouses:

For those looking for that little bit extra, a luxury treehouse with jacuzzi is highly recommended. You will be secluded among the trees while enjoying warm water, fresh air and birdsong in the background. 

A good treehouse depends not only on its design, but also on its surroundings. The location largely determines the atmosphere of your stay. Do you want total tranquility, a child-friendly setting or just a place with hiking trails on your doorstep? It's all possible.

For nature lovers, treehouses in Belgium are often a hit. In regions such as the Ardennes, Gaume or Heuvelland, treehouses can be found in the middle of the forest, overlooking valleys or rivers. In many cases they are eco accommodations with minimal environmental impact, without compromising on comfort. There are also a surprising number of options in the Netherlands. You can choose a treehouse overnight in the Netherlands in areas with lots of greenery, such as the forests of Drenthe or the hills of Limburg. Some treehouses are located in small-scale parks, others are completely free in the field. Specifically looking for nature and adventure? Then a treehouse in the Ardennes is an excellent choice. Here you sleep between steep slopes and babbling brooks - ideal for an active weekend or to really get away from it all. Many treehouses in this region also have amenities like wood-burning stoves, outdoor showers or hammocks under the stars.

A treehouse is an original choice for a weekend getaway, but sometimes requires slightly different preparation than a standard holiday home. Because the accommodations are often small-scale and unique, they are quickly fully booked - especially in holidays or weekends. Booking in time is therefore recommended. Always check carefully what amenities are available. For example, some treehouses have no WiFi or limited range, which is fine for those who want to unwind - but less convenient if you want to work from home. Also pay attention to the stairs: some accommodations require quite a bit of climbing, which is not ideal with young children or a dog. For families, there are special family treehouses, with multiple sleeping quarters and secure access. For couples, small-scale cabins with lots of privacy are especially popular. Want to be surprised? Then opt for a stay in nature, without television or distractions - the ultimate digital detox.

If you're also planning to book a treehouse for a weekend getaway, for example, there are a few things to look out for: 

Do you want to spend a special night with your child or are you looking for a treehouse with your whole family. Pay close attention to how many people are allowed in a treehouse. There are treehouses for 2 people but also treehouses for up to 8 people.

2. How luxurious is a treehouse?

Some treehouses are quite primitive and have only the basics. A lot of people find this very adventurous and fun. Other people, on the other hand, are looking for something more luxurious. Again, treehouses vary greatly. So before you book, look carefully at the facilities you can find in the treehouse.

3. Location of the treehouse

Treehouses can be found in many different places. Sometimes in the middle of a campsite or vacation park and sometimes in the middle of nature with lots of privacy. If you like to have people or other children around you, you should choose a treehouse on a campsite. Do you want to enjoy nature around you? Then choose a slightly more remote treehouse.
