Desperate to get away from it all? Airbnb has a treehouse for that (Picture: Airbnb)

Apparently, we all just want to get away from it all and live in a treehouse.
For a week or so at least.
Airbnb has released a list of its top 10 most wish listed rental properties and four of them are treehouses. Also making up the most wanted list are a ‘seashell’ house in Isla Mujeres, Mexico and a Pirates of the Caribbean getaway in California that boasts indoor waterfalls and pools (but doesn’t allow parties. Sorry).
And as well as treehouses, the list reveals that we’re pretty fond of bedding down in igloos, vans, lighthouses and caves too.

10 most wish-listed property types on Airbnb

1. Treehouse
2. Igloo
3. Van
4. Lighthouse
5. Cave
6. Island
7. Yurt
8. Train
9. Loft
10. Cabin

Seriously. Hotels are so over.
1. Secluded intown treehouse in Atlanta, Georgia

Welcome to your very own suite of three connected treehouses, set amongst lush greenery. The bedroom sleeps two and the mattress is heated. Dreamy.
As one reviewer writes: ‘You just have to experience this to fully understand how amazing it is.’

2. The Seashell House, Casa Caracol in Mexico

Here you get a private pool and two king-size bedrooms. Plus, the architects live next door.
The view from your sea-shell-shaped bedroom isn’t bad either.

3. Casa Barthel in Tuscany, Italy

Think olive trees, a bedroom hidden among the pine trees, a communal pool, and a roof terrace overlooking the Tuscan countryside.

4. Unique Cob Cottage in Mayne Island, BC, Canada

It looks like a Hobbit house. And it comes with sheep. What more could you want?

5. Aroma(n)tica TreehouseinMonferrato in San Salvatore Monferrato, Alessandria, Italy

Another treehouse. This one offers a panoramic view of the Monferrato hills, hidden among the fragrant linden trees, along with a garden with solarium and a swimming pool.

6. Mushroom Dome Cabin in Aptos, California

‘This mushroom dome cabin is enchanting,’ writes one of the (many) five-star reviewers.

7. Pirates of the Caribbean Getaway in Topanga Canyon, California

(Picture: Airbnb)

The hot tub comes with a light show, there’s a guest tepee, and outdoor bath, and indoor waterfalls. Pretty much what we imagine Jack Sparrow’s house to look like.

8. Balian Treehouse with private pool in Bali

Yes, paradise probably looks a little bit like this.

9. Brand New Mini Loft in Rome, Italy

(Picture: Airbnb)

If you’re more into your creature comforts, this mini-loft is right in the middle of Rome. It also has a fancy pink bathroom. We’ll take it.

10. Off the Gridit House, in Pioneertown, California

And if you’re looking to go totally off-grid, there’s always this solar-powered house in the middle of the Californian desert. The boss will never, ever find you.

Perfect.
