The Willow Treehouse: Your Private Getaway
The Willow Treehouse, located in Willow, New York, offers a gorgeous private getaway perfect for weekends or any time you want to escape the city. Even though it’s literally a tree house, it features luxurious furnishings that harmonize with the lakeside setting.

Comfort and Luxury Await Inside
Designed by Antony Gibbon and built by William Johnson, the tree house is situated on a property overlooking a small, swimmable pond, shared with the main house, as well as a Swedish wood-fired hot tub.
Inside, the house features a main living area with a fireplace and a stunning view of the pond. The sleeping area is a loft accessible only by ladder, offering a unique and adventurous sleeping experience. However, it’s advisable to pack lightly for this destination. The modern kitchen is equipped for meal preparation, complete with a large kitchen island that seats four. Although the space accommodates four guests, it’s particularly ideal for couples or solo travelers seeking a memorable retreat.

“It is cozy, yet has all you need to cook dinner, enjoy reading, chilling, or swimming,” notes the listing. “Separate spaces for chilling, writing a novel, or enjoying the view.” Moreover, if you need to refresh yourself with shopping or a taste of civilization, this stay is conveniently located just 15 minutes from Woodstock, New York.

Naturally, a stay this beautiful means availability is particularly limited. However, keeping an eye out for future openings may just lead to your dream getaway.

This stunning accommodation is available for $382 per night.
