Glamping is a fun and unique way to see new places, and one of the best places to give “glamorous camping” a try is in the New England states. The popularity of Airbnb properties has grown over the past few years as hotel alternatives, offering a variety of accommodation options such as yurts, tree houses, and other creative accommodations. Outdoor lovers can find an array of alluring glamping-style accommodations in the Northeast, which offer you a chance to explore local communities and embrace the beautiful natural surroundings. Here are some of our favorite glamping options in New England.
Treetop Sanctuary – Dunbarton, New Hampshire
Treehouses are also a fun way to go glamping, and this one accommodates four guests with one bedroom, two beds, and a half-bathroom. Your host has set up a suspended path through the trees to reach the sanctuary, which is about 30 feet above the ground. It comes with a composting toilet, Wi-Fi, electricity, refrigerator, and wood stove. Children ages 10 and up are welcome here, and you’ll need to bring your own sleeping bags or blankets, as well as cookware if you wish to cook. This treehouse is situated on a lovely five-acre property, and the owner allows access to his home and bathroom too.

There’s even a cedar hot tub here to warm you up and stay cozy on chilly nights.
