Tree houses may seem like a thing of the past (as in, a fantasy from when you were a kid), but as it turns out, they're making a comeback. With the rising popularity of unique accommodations, these above-ground structures are the new "it" thing in bucket-list travel. Nowadays, the most romantic vacations for two involve tree houses, and when you consider the elements of nature, seclusion, and luxe amenities, it's no surprise why.

Amy Ahlblad, partnerships manager for Glamping Hub, says that tree house listings are among the most popular on the site. "Tree houses are a magical type of accommodation that speaks to childhood dreams," she points out, adding that the ability to literally sleep in a tree brings you closer to nature. "The serene surroundings, the touch of magic, and the rural peace of mind are what makes them the perfect choice for a couple." Makes sense, doesn't it?

Ahead, check out five romantic tree house listings, around the country and around the world. Whether you're looking to reconnect with your partner, plan an international escape, or book a memorable weekend a road trip away, there's a tree house retreat for every occasion, budget, and glamping style.
