These magical tree houses are up for rent on Airbnb

Previously reserved for figments of our childhood imaginations, it isn't particularly often you're presented with the chance to live out these pre-pubescent dreams in reality. 

But thanks to popular house-sharing, accommodation service, Airbnb, spending a few nights in a magical-looking tree house around the world is a mere click of your mouse away. 

A far cry from holidaying in a concrete jungle, these architectural feats will take your next holiday to dizzying heights, not to mention appeal to you inner tree hugger. 

The best part? Imagine how epic your Instagram feed will look after a weekend away in one of these fairytale-ready locations.

Nothing screams fairytale more than a rickety rope bridge leading to the tree house of your dreams. Hidden deep in the forest, this romantic setting boasts a slow moving stream, and a canopy of trees to keep you nestled away from prying eyes. The coolest bit? There are three separate structures here, all connected using rope bridges.

You'd be forgiven for thinking you'd stepped into a Disney movie when you arrive at this dreamy little tree house in Fern Forest, Hawaii. Laze about in the hammock, or get lost exploring the towering bamboo. If the setting wasn't enough to have you thinking you're an extra in The Jungle Book, then you should see the incredible interior.
