The 11 Best Treehouse Rentals in Georgia

If you’re looking for outdoor adventure in the American South, you can’t go wrong with a trip to Georgia. This sprawling state stretches from the Atlantic Ocean at its southeast corner up to the Blue Ridge Mountains—part of the Appalachians—and comprises a wide range of landscapes in between. Sandy beaches, vast wetlands, and mountain peaks, along with the thriving metropolis of Atlanta and historic cities like Savannah, are just a few of the sites worth checking out while you’re here.

The Blue Ridge Mountains tumble into Georgia’s far northern reaches, and the northern part of the state is a haven for hikers. Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest, which covers over 867,000 acres, offers more than 500 miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and driving off-road vehicles. This region is also home to Amicalola Falls State Park, where the eponymous waterfall is one of the state’s Seven Natural Wonders. It descends 729 feet, making it the third-highest cascading waterfall east of the Mississippi.

Prefer ocean views? Georgia’s coast is well-known for its sandy beaches and charming towns, like St. Simons Island, and if you’re into birding, don’t miss the Colonial Coast Birding Trail, a string of 17 sites along the coast where more than 300 species of birds have been spotted. Further inland, you can explore Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, which protects the massive Okefenokee Swamp. The park offers guided boat tours and canoe and kayak rentals, and it also includes an International Dark Sky Park, so it’s an ideal location for stargazing.

Although Georgia is a great place to visit year-round, the spring and fall are especially nice: There are fewer crowds and the weather is usually pleasant. Expect hot and humid weather in the summer. Whenever you decide to go, combine some time exploring Georgia’s natural riches with one of these unique treehouse rentals below and you have a recipe for an unforgettable trip.

Vibe: Home High Up

Somehow, this 650-square-foot deluxe VRBO treehouse manages to feel like a vacation rental and a one-of-a-kind treehouse at the same time.

The other part comes from the setting in the Aska Adventure Area in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Benton MacKaye Trail, a 300-mile footpath that goes through Tennessee and North Carolina, is directly accessible from the property while the towns of Blue Ridge and Ellijay aren't far off.

Inn the Ravine Luxury Treehouse — Blue Ridge, GA

Vibe: More House Than Treehouse

If the word "treehouse" makes you think of a basic childhood clubhouse with a rope ladder, know that this ain't that. The 800-square-foot cabin is the makings of a full home with room for five, two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a fully equipped kitchen. There's also an outdoor shower, a propane grill, a fire pit, a sunken hot tub, and loads of places to hang outside on the multi-leveled decks. You'll never want to leave this Blue Ridge treehouse retreat, but if you do, downtown Blue Ridge is a short drive away, as are the North Georgia Mountains' various wineries, and the Chattahoochee National Forest's hiking trails.
