Colorado is a state known for the Rocky Mountains, but there’s so much more than just mountains and forests. A favorite fall destination, Colorado has one of the most varied landscapes in the US, having everything from rivers and lakes to grasslands, and of course, the famous red rock formations.
It’s only fitting that treehouse rentals in Colorado are some of the most popular types of accommodations. These rentals offer surroundings and views that are breathtaking and serene, giving guests the relaxation they need.
Aside from these tranquil locations, sights and attractions abound, providing a long list of outdoor adventures, from fishing to swimming, hiking, biking, horseback riding, wildlife sightseeing, and so much more.
In this list, I’ve included cozy treehouse cabins, to luxurious mountainside retreats that make the perfect place to stay for any Colorado adventure.
Here are 6 of the best Colorado treehouse rentals for different kinds of guests:
