If you're looking for an out-of-the-ordinary vacation, consider staying in a tree house. Ocean views and access can make your vacation even more special. Staying in a tree house can inspire an increased connection with nature and offer a respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, according to The Treehouse Guide. From the coast of Maui to the beaches of California, tree houses offer a vacation experience you won't soon forget.
The Hana Lani Treehouses Maui are located on Hana Lani Farms, three miles from the town of Hana, Hawaii. Hana Lahi Farms feature 20 acres of orchids, herbs, organic vegetables and bamboo. Hana Lahi's tree houses offer a rustic experience that the website describes as "the feeling of camping out with a roof." Choose from three tree houses, all featuring different amenities. The House of the August Moon sleeps four in a queen-size bed and a double futon. Relax in a hammock overlooking the ocean on the private balcony. The three-level Treetops house sleeps two to three guests in a large, screened-in master bedroom with an ocean view. The Tree Pavillion sleeps five and offers a stunning ocean view. All three houses feature flush toilets, hot showers and kitchens with barbecues and propane camp stoves. At night, you'll enjoy your tree house by tiki torch and candlelight, as the tree houses do not offer electricity.
