How The Mohicans Earned a Spot Among the Best Treehouse Stays of 2026 | Treehouse Resort Ohio
We are thrilled to share some very special news. The Mohicans Treehouse Resort has been voted one of the Best Treehouse Stays of 2026 by The Zoe Report in their annual Readers' Choice Awards. Our property in Glenmont, Ohio earned the number five spot on a national list that features ten of the most celebrated treehouse destinations across North America.
This was not an editorial selection or a sponsored placement. The Zoe Report asked their readers to vote for the treehouse stays that left the biggest impression, and our guests showed up for us. That kind of recognition carries a weight that no advertising can replicate, and we are deeply grateful.
What the Best Treehouse Stays of 2026 Recognition Means
The Zoe Report is a nationally recognized lifestyle publication under BDG Media, covering fashion, beauty, wellness, and travel for a readership that values design, experience, and authenticity. Their Readers' Choice Awards spotlight the best across multiple categories each year, and the Best Treehouse Stays category drew nominees from across the United States and Canada.
The Mohicans is the only Ohio property on the winners' list. We stand alongside destinations in Washington, Ontario, Texas, Montana, California, Virginia, and Vermont. Properties like TreeHouse Point in Issaquah and Twin Farms in Barnard are known worldwide, and being named in that company validates what our guests have been telling us for years. There is something genuinely different about a stay at The Mohicans, and now a national audience is taking notice.
What Our Guests Experience When They Stay With Us
We believe the votes came down to the feeling our property creates from the moment guests arrive. Our ten treehouses sit across 75 wooded acres atop the hills of the Mohican Valley, and each one has been designed with its own distinct character. Two were built by Pete Nelson, the renowned treehouse designer and host of the television series Treehouse Masters. Our original Little Red Treehouse was featured on the show, and that national exposure introduced our property to travelers who had never heard of Glenmont, Ohio.
From the panoramic wrap-around porch at White Oak to the modern steam shower at Wildwood Tent to the cozy loft at Old Pine (this treehouse even hosted Matthew McConaughey, actor and Academy Award winner) and, every treehouse delivers a private forest retreat that balances adventure with comfort. Heat and air conditioning, full bathrooms, kitchenettes, and outdoor showers come standard in most units, so guests can unplug from everyday life without sacrificing the comforts that make a getaway truly relaxing.
Beyond the treehouses, our four cabins accommodate larger groups and families, sleeping anywhere from seven to fifteen guests. Our two country homes offer a more traditional retreat experience on private acreage just minutes from the main resort. Whether you are planning a romantic treehouse getaway in Ohio for two or a group trip with friends, there is a lodging option that fits.
How Location Strengthens the Best Treehouse Stays of 2026 Experience
Part of what makes The Mohicans special is where we are. Our property sits just 90 minutes from both Columbus and Cleveland, creating that rare combination of seclusion and accessibility. Guests describe arriving here as feeling worlds away from the city, and that sense of escape is something we have intentionally built into every aspect of the experience.
Our location also puts guests within easy reach of Mohican State Park, one of Ohio's most popular outdoor recreation destinations, with hiking trails, fishing, and canoeing right nearby. For those looking to extend their trip, the Amish Country towns of Millersburg, Walnut Creek, and Sugarcreek are a short drive away and offer a completely different kind of day trip filled with local shops, handmade goods, and incredible food. That combination of forest retreat and regional exploration is something very few treehouse properties in the country can offer.
A Thank You From Our Team
This award belongs to our guests first and foremost. Every vote was cast by someone who stayed here, felt something special, and wanted others to know about it. It also belongs to our team members who care for these treehouses and cabins every single day, making sure each guest walks into a space that feels both magical and meticulously maintained.
We also want to thank our local community in the Mohican Valley. The restaurants, outfitters, and small businesses in this area contribute to the overall experience our guests enjoy, and we are proud to be part of this region.
