On Thursday, May 19, Airbnb revealed the “top 10 most wishlisted stays in the U.S.” for the summer travel season. This list makes it clear that people are looking for unique stays that create lifelong memories.

However, at the top of the list is the Glass Treehouse Modern Luxe Romantic Getaway in Banner Elk, North Carolina.
This modern accommodation was built in 1969 and underwent a full renovation in 2020. It features 1,050 square feet of space, perfectly nestled into the mountainside, providing breathtaking views of a lush landscape filled with creeks and waterfalls. Although it feels entirely secluded, the home is conveniently located just a few minutes from town, where dining, wine tasting, breweries, shopping, art galleries, and more await guests.
Upon arrival at the home, guests are greeted by a tranquil waterfall at the entrance. After crossing over a charming bridge and opening the front door, they discover an impressive iron spiral staircase leading to the bright living space. Here, floor-to-ceiling windows offer panoramic views of the surrounding wilderness, visible from the dining table and countertop bar. The living room is equipped with a vintage wood-burning fireplace, Bluetooth sound bar, games, and a welcoming ambiance.
In the bedroom, a stone accent wall complements the natural boulders outside, while the spa-like bathroom provides an opportunity for guests to enjoy a rejuvenating shower, complete with a heated towel bar for added comfort.
Moreover, this home not only looks stunning but also receives exceptional reviews. With a perfect five-star rating from 62 reviews, one guest remarked it as “the perfect romantic getaway.” They elaborated, “the bedroom looks out onto a rocky backdrop creating such an intimate and private feel. The bathroom floors are heated, and the shower is luxurious. We loved the hot tub, and we cherished the soothing sound of the stream running alongside the house. As we drove in, the house was illuminated in such a romantic, dreamy way.”
