If you’re lucky, you’ve got fond memories of adventuring in a ramshackle treehouse during some long-ago summer vacation. And even if your childhood didn’t include sweltering afternoons in treetop forts, there’s a good chance that the iconic treehouse was part of your prepubescent dreams.
Unfortunately, every kid grows up and every treehouse dream becomes a distant memory. Luckily for all of us adults, there are some amazing treehouses in Vermont that embrace, and even surpass all of those childhood dreams. Swiss Family Robinson ain’t got nothing on these incredibly cool Vermont treehouses. And the best part? They’re all available to rent for your next vacation.
Treehouse glamping in Vermont allows you to immerse yourself in the natural landscapes of Vermont while still sleeping in a real bed each night. Each Vermont treehouse is unique. Some are rustic. Some are luxurious. And all allow you to relive your childhood dreams!
How We Find Unique Glamping Properties
We use five different websites when searching for glamping opportunities – Tentrr, Hipcamp, Glamping Hub, VRBO, and Airbnb. There are plenty of similarities between them all, but once you start using them to search for properties, you will find subtle differences in how you can filter properties to meet your needs. We talk more about each of the different booking platforms on our New England Glamping page.
I would also suggest reading the fine print when you find a listing that you love. Each destination and booking platform handles cancelations and refunds differently. It’s like the wild west out there, and you have to do your homework before booking your stay.
Now, let’s head into the treetops!

The Outpost Treehouse in St. Johnsbury, Vermont
This epic Vermont treehouse is located right next to Dog Mountain in St. Johnsbury, and yes, well-behaved dogs are permitted in the treehouse for an extra fee. The Outpost Treehouse is definitely not camping, and even a step above glamping. Visitors have electricity, a gas fireplace, a mini gourmet kitchen, and even a full-sized bathroom with a sink, shower, and toilet. There are outdoor seating and dining areas with a table for 10 people, a large fire pit, and three beds suitable for up to six guests.
St. Johnsbury is a fun destination and the main hub of Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom. I’ve already mentioned Dog Mountain, which is a must-visit for all dog lovers, but you should also check out the Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium. For craft food and beer, be sure to visit Kingdom Taproom and Table. Yes, the menu is small, but it’s so yummy!
Walker Pond Treehouse in Coventry, Vermont

While the treehouse is cozy enough to spend your whole vacation inside, you won’t want to miss paddling and fishing on Walker Pond, hanging next to the fire pit, and exploring the trails on the property.
Looking for an urban adventure? Head to nearby Newport on Lake Memphormagog, where you can shop at the quirky Main Street stores, meander along the lake that stretches well into Canada, or grab some authentic Thai food at Dusit Thai Cuisine.
