The home of bourbon and bluegrass music, Kentucky is a state that boasts of urban metropolitan cities and small-town charms. But between these lively centers are stunning natural scenery that makes for the perfect treehouse rental location.
From rivers to creeks, mountains to cliffs, and wooded wonderlands, Kentucky is home to treehouse rentals that offer the most exquisite adventures for guests.
I’ve found 6 Kentucky treehouse rentals that embrace the natural surroundings. Some of these treehouses are located high up among the treetops; they'll make you think you’re floating above the woodlands.
One treehouse rental is even hanging above the trees, suspended from a cliff, offering a floating cabin experience.
Whether you’re looking for an exciting solo adventure, a romantic couples getaway, or a family outdoor vacation, Kentucky has a treehouse rental for you.
