It's no secret—the travel industry is buzzing with demand for extraordinary, nature-immersive stays that go beyond the ordinary. If you’re eyeing a profitable niche for your short-term rental business on AirBNB, Hipcamp, and the like, structures like our Tree Tent Treehouses might just be your golden ticket. These elevated, eco-friendly structures offer a thrilling twist on traditional accommodations, blending adventure with comfort. We've been building glamping dwellings for over a decade now, and we've seen how our customers have captivated guests and boosted bookings. Ready to branch out? Here’s what to consider when investing in a Tree Tent for your STR venture.
Define Your Vision
Before you dive into the canopy, pinpoint your goals. Are you aiming to create a standout rental experience, generate steady income, or diversify your property offerings? The Tree Tent (and all of our structures) caters to adventure seekers, nature lovers, and eco-conscious travelers. Knowing the “why” will guide you toward the right configuration and location, ensuring your investment aligns with your business dreams.
Prioritize Quality and Durability
For us, craftsmanship is king. A well-made glamping pod, especially one suspended in the trees, means fewer headaches down the road—less maintenance, a long lifespan, and happier guests. Our micro-cabins are built tough, with weather-resistant materials and sturdy suspension systems designed to withstand the elements. Invest in quality upfront, and you’ll save time and money while keeping your rental in top shape for years.
Stand Out in the Crowd
In the STR game, uniqueness is your edge. A cluster of Tree Tents will elevate your property (literally!) above generic cabins or tiny homes. Suspended between trees, they offer guests a bird’s-eye view of nature—think starry nights through the roof's skylight, rustling leaves, and a front-row seat to sunrise. Depending on your desired configuration, this inspired design can sleep up to three and boasts a spacious design that’s perfect for couples or kids. Unique listings showing these off will most definitely stand out in listings, command higher rates, and rack up glowing reviews on platforms like Airbnb, VRBO, Hipcamp, and Glamping Hub.
Pick the Perfect Spot
Location can make or break your vacation rental. Guests crave scenic, wooded areas where they can unplug and soak in the surroundings. Look for properties with mature, strong trees, and easy access to trails, lakes, or other natural attractions. Bonus points if it’s near a popular destination but feels like a hidden gem. If you'd like to bounce anything off of us, contact us and we'll help you assess your site and recommend the best tent for your terrain.
Know Your Guests
Who’s booking? Adventurous millennials? Families seeking a quirky getaway? Eco-warriors? Understanding your audience shapes everything from marketing to amenities. Add thoughtful touches—solar lanterns, cozy bedding, a wood-fired Hot Tank hot tub, or a nearby fire pit—to match their vibe and keep them coming back.
Master the Platforms
Visibility is everything in the STR world. List on multiple booking sites like Airbnb, Vrbo, Hipcamp, or Glamping Hub, and let professional-quality photos do the talking. Show off the tent’s perch, the view, and the experience—guests climbing up, lounging in the canopy, or sipping coffee at sunrise. A compelling description (e.g., “Sleep among the treetops in this eco-adventure retreat!”) paired with our variety of modern canvas colors will help you snag bookings fast.
Keep It Guest-Ready
A great stay equals rave reviews. Regularly check your Tree Tent for wear—inspect straps, fabric, and anchor points to ensure safety and comfort. But don't worry, they are low-maintenance by design, but a quick seasonal tune-up keeps them pristine. Toss in extras like a welcome guide or local trail maps to wow your guests and earn those five-star ratings.
Think Long-Term Value
Tree Tents aren’t just a quick win—they’re a future-proof investment. Technically considered a mobile and non-permanent structure, they're easy to install (a couple days!), and can adapt to changing trends or property needs. Our entire line-up is built with premium materials, promises durability, and timeless appeal. Whether you’re expanding a glamping site or testing the STR waters, micro cabins like these offer flexibility, and profitability that can grow with your vision.
