If you've ever wanted your own private village for you and your loved ones, this staycation above the trees will make your dreams a reality.
When we picture a treehouse, it's a beginner's back garden attempt of logs with haphazard nails in every corner. Never, did we think treehouses could get such a luxurious injection of elegance and grandeur.
At Studford Luxury Lodges, treehouses comes with steamy hot tubs, private in-lodge saunas, not to mention the luxe decor and views across the Yorkshire Moors.
Set out as a cluster of lodges, up to 36 guests can stay across six treehouses, each with its own secluded country pocket and is elevated off the forest floor for a stunning, woodland outlook.
Their interiors are a fusion of classic designs and modern styles, and include open-plan living areas and three double, en-suite bedrooms- perfect for family get togethers or a weekend away with friends.
Little ones that couldn't care less about the woodland surroundings won't even have to moan about the absence of modern comforts, each of the six lodges is packed with the latest tech gadgets, including PS4’s, Smart TV’s and Sonos Sound Systems.
However, for those wanting to explore further than the lodges themselves, there are plenty of picturesque landscapes to choose from. While away your days roaming the magnificent York Moors National Park, horse riding, mountain biking or visiting the local landmarks.
There's no reason to miss out on dinners out, despite the remote location either- the lodges all have a dedicated chauffeur service ready to drive you to the village pub, where a meal of delicious home-cooked specials are waiting.
The treehouses are located in Ampleforth in North Yorkshire, just over an hour from Leeds.

Upstairs there's five double bedrooms, three bathrooms and a study - that should be plenty room for us we think.
