The Green Mountain National Forest in Vermont is a favorite of hikers, animal lovers and waterfall chasers. Nestled deep in the forest is 'Sugar Maple Treehouse', which was lovingly hand-built high above the ground in three maple trees. The treehouse is fully insulated and has electric heaters, so you can be sure of staying cozy. And while the space is designed for switching off, there is "the internet" and even a smart TV. One thing to keep in mind with this spot is that there are a fair few steps to the treehouse, and with it being in a forest, it can get a little muddy and snowy – so pack decent footwear. When you're done stomping about though, why not consider the in-house massage therapist?  

Rooms? One bedroom. Sleeps two guests. 
The mood? An ambient cozy hillside treehouse for the perfect pause. 
Location perks? In the heart of the Green Mountain National Forest.
Budget range? Reconnect with nature at this unique luxury stay for two.

Settle down to pen your novel in the mornings, then wash away the hard work with a swim in the pond. And hey, if this modernist-looking slice of peace gets a little stale for you, you're 15 minutes from Woodstock, where there are plenty of things to do.

The Water Forest Retreat is a small treehouse with stained glass windows, nestled in an oak tree that's part of a 100-acre forest. Commune with the birds on the deck or go hiking to a waterfall. The house itself is heated and has electricity but no running water, so it's a bit of a roughing-it situation. There's a queen-sized bed that's surrounded by white birch logs decorated with branches and fairy lights and an electric fireplace for cold nights. There's no kitchen but there are camping essentials such as a propane camp stove, dinnerware, cutlery, cutting boards and more. There are wood-lined hiking trails with some that follow Goldmine Brook to a waterfall. There are resident barred owls, a red fox, eastern coyotes and white-tailed deer you may see while hiking.

Rooms? One bedroom. Sleeps two guests. 
The mood? Quaint little treasure in the woods. 
Location perks? Want to go for a swim, or maybe you're into canoeing or Kayaking? Then this is the best place to be. Gardner Lake State Park in Salem is only 15 minutes away and Bluff Point is about 24 minutes away, so there's plenty to go explore should you decide to.
