Airbnb x Willow TreeHouse

I had seen the treehouse in images before. I must first clarify that the word “treehouse” is a bit of an understatement. For all intents and purposes, this place is an architectural masterpiece. It manifests qualities of a treehouse such as being lifted off of the ground and having an all-natural wood interior. But the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the geometric design, the modern aesthetic, the sheer quality of execution takes this abode to an entirely new level. I had seen the treehouse before and I dreamed of staying in it.

So when an opening became available on Airbnb, I took the opportunity and booked a night!

That’s probably my favorite thing about Airbnb and what brings me back to their service time and time again. Airbnb is able to bring me to places I have only ever dreamed of. Even if just for one night, I can escape to something different, something unique.

As a freelance photographer, I am constantly working on projects in different places. Airbnb offers a range of accommodations for me. From simply getting a roof over my head and a hot shower, to elaborate homes with all sorts of quirky amenities.

This past Autumn I was on a road-trip chasing the changing foliage throughout the Northeast with my boyfriend Brayden. I was able to incorporate this tree house stay into my itinerary and it was a much needed respite from roughing it. Located in the Catskill Mountains of New York State, this stay is secluded, tranquil and romantic.

I wanted to highlight this place because it is the perfect example of the uniqueness that can be found on Airbnb.

Embodying a retreat, this tree house is off the grid; no service or WiFi. Upon arrival, I was greeted with a nice bottle of red wine, an old-school record player with a solid selection of records, a cozy wood-burning fire place inside, a fire pit outside, quiet reading nooks, a scenic pond and a wood-burning hot tub out back.

As dusk settled in with a blanket of fog, we opened the bottle of wine and enjoyed a night of talking by the fire and sampling records.

The next morning

we fired up the wood-fired hot tub outside for a lazy afternoon before heading back out on our trip. This was my first time ever using a wood-fired hot tub. It was so nice to be able to relax in the warm water even though it was a bit chilly out. It was the perfect end to our little retreat at the serene treehouse. As I soaked in my last bit of peace and quiet, I appreciated how I was able to stay at such a dreamy place.
