What’s even more unexpected than our unique ecotourism is a collection of adorable overnight-stay treehouses in Glenmont, Ohio, a community just about 90 minutes away from home. This site is perfect for Clevelanders looking for a momentary escape from reality, and one in particular is famously known as the best treehouse near Cleveland.
Need a bit of R & R? You can't go wrong with a stay in a treehouse.
This cozy little getaway was designed by famous treehouse designer Pete Nelson for Treehouse Masters on the Discovery Channel in March of 2013, and its design has aged like a fine wine.
The appropriately named Little Red Treehouse was originally designed as a tasting room for the owner's brewing company (a fact evidenced by a "Brew Haus" sign on the exterior), but has since been converted into a lodge to allow for a scenic getaway.
Cross over a 30 foot extension bridge and step into your lodging — you'll find that you feel like a character in a fairy tale. Surrounded by the forest canopy, it's easy to imagine friendly forest residents keeping you company at this picturesque treetop escape.

While rustic and reminiscent of an 1800s style barn, this getaway spot contains many modern amenities.
While any night spent sleeping amid the forest canopy will certainly be full of adventures out in nature, you can also enjoy movies on a flat screen tv and romantic dinners in the kitchenette overlooking the woodland. Keep in mind, however, if you do plan on watching movies, be sure to bring a DVD or two... after all, there's no cable in the middle of the woods!
If you're wondering what the natural amenities are like at this treehouse, you're probably the type that will enjoy listening to tree frogs and crickets singing at dusk on the wrap-around deck.
This deck is the perfect place for romantic picnics under the stars. You can also grill outside the treehouse on the ground level, or make use of an outdoor shower in the warmer months.
If the magic of these surroundings doesn't yet have you in awe, just wait until you see morning sunlight trickling through your grand stained glass window.
The Little Red Treehouse boasts one spectacular five-foot stained glass window that's positively meant for a fairy tale castle. You'll adore cozying up on the couch under its brilliant hues, especially if you are graced with a bit of rain to listen to.
There's so much to love about the Little Red Treehouse, but its most magical aspect is that it flawlessly awakens your inner child.
Do you remember longing for the adventure that comes with your very own treehouse? When you awaken in the queen bed platform hay loft, you'll realize that your childhood fantasy has come to life. Just remember to bring real-life necessities like ice, sandwich bags, soaps and shower supplies, and extra toilet paper on your enchanted escape.
This two person treehouse out in Glenmont makes for a quaint and romantic escape from Cleveland, but dates book up fast.
At around $280 per night, it's no wonder this treehouse cabin near Cleveland books up so quickly! Before you plan your trip, be sure to check The Mohicans' availability calendar to ensure your preferred lodging is open.
