When it comes to planning a getaway, a recent Airbnb survey revealed an interesting trend. Over half of the respondents said a unique listing would inspire them to visit a completely new destination.
To help travelers find that spark, Airbnb revealed its most wishlisted spots across the US. In New York, the ultimate dream destination hides right in the trees.
Located about 15 minutes away from the town of Woodstock, the Willow Treehouse is a breathtaking off-grid paradise.
It is settled deep among the trees and overlooks a small, swimmable pond on a lush 34-acre wooded property.
Designed by Antony Gibbon and built by William Johnson, this architectural passion project is specifically designed for true relaxation.
What To Know Before You Go
Walking into this space means fully committing to nature. Here is what makes this treehouse so highly sought-after:
- Completely unplugged: There is no WiFi and no cell service available at the cabin. It is the perfect excuse to leave your emails behind, read a book by the indoor wood-burning fireplace, and fully disconnect from daily life.
- Cozy quarters: The treehouse is built for couples and solo adventurers, with a strict maximum of two adults.
- Pack lightly: You will need to walk into the woods with your luggage, and the cozy sleeping loft is only accessible by a ladder.
- Outdoor oasis: You can take a dip in the shared swimmable pond, or relax in your own private hot tub that is heated entirely with firewood.
Booking Your Stay
The treehouse features modern comforts like split-system AC, heating, and a kitchen space with a Bertazzoni electric stove, so you can easily cook your own meals while staring out the massive windows.
If you are planning a two-night weekend getaway (like June 26-28), the total cost comes to approximately $1,221 USD (including taxes) for two adults max!
Since this is New York’s most popular Airbnb, you will want to book well in advance. Keep an eye on their calendar to secure your own slice of quiet luxury.
