Treehouses are all the rage, and really, what’s not to love? For folks who enjoy immersing themselves in the Great Outdoors, treehouses offer a unique alternative to camping that quite literally takes the entire experience to new heights. Ohio is home to some standout treehouses, but did you know that the Buckeye State also lays claim to the only public treehouse village in the country? Part of the Toledo Metroparks, the Cannaley Treehouse Village is the only one of its kind in the country, making for a wholly memorable experience that truly is one-of-a-kind.

There's something about trees that's simultaneously grounding and aspirational. There's a wisdom and physicality to trees that's undeniably inspiring. John Muir knew this, and today, millions of people visit public parks and forests to interact with, and immerse themselves in, forests filled with trees.

Outdoor enthusiasts with a thrill-seeking side sometimes take the entire experience to (ahem) new heights by climbing, rappelling, and zip lining through the trees. I have a son who has yet to meet a tree he won't climb; for his eighth birthday, my dad and husband actually built him a treehouse in our backyard!

Because really, the only thing more magical than a forest filled with trees, is a forest filled with trees at night. And while you can certainly immerse yourself in this scene at any of Ohio's numerous amazing campgrounds, there is another accommodation option that's truly a bucket-list must.

Perfect for families, some of the treehouses have features like rope ladders, hammocks, and slides, which makes for such a fun experience for kids! A communal fire pit is another on-site feature that's the epitome of good, old-fashioned camping fun.
