I don’t know what it is about treehouses that makes them so appealing, but gosh darnit this one is a beauty.

Considering that it beat out every other listing on Airbnb it better be, so let’s take a closer look at the Secluded Intown Treehouse in Atlanta, Georgia.

The listing racks up around 300 000 visits per month, and almost 150 000 people currently have it saved to their Airbnb ‘wish list’.

Some basics from Refinery before we look at the pics:

While the price of $375 per night could snag a hotel room with more travel-friendly amenities like a connected bathroom, people are willing to overlook that fact for a unique experience.

The Secluded Intown Treehouse is actually a suite of three different tree houses designed by Peter Bahouth. They’re not new, either, but thanks to Airbnb, they’ve been given a new life. Bahouth told Today that he started the project over 18 years ago and never considered sharing it, but when he saw so many people react with awe and excitement, he had to. Now, the wait time is over a year, with reservations for May 2018 just opening up…

The three separate rooms are themed, with one aimed to focus on the mind, the second on spirit, and the last on the body. Each section has a rolling bed, some have a wraparound walkway, and rope bridges connect the three structures.

I remember how stoked I was as a laaitie when a mate’s treehouse had that ‘two cans with a piece of string’ telephone system set up.

Still had better signal than Cell C, though.

Right, I’m ready for photos. These via the Airbnb listing:

Yes, yes and yes.

Heads up – if Atlanta is a little out of the way, or you don’t want to wait until May of next year before you can make a booking, check out Seth’s own Cabine Du Cap.

A luxury, fully-serviced cabin on 175 hectares of private land in the Klein Karoo, just outside Montagu, it’s a great place to kick back and relax:

I feel soothed.
