There’s something quietly enchanting about Lithuania’s forests — all that soft moss underfoot, the filtered light through pine branches, the feeling that you’ve stepped out of time for a bit. And tucked away just outside Jurbarkas, Treehouse Virš Bedugnės takes that feeling and turns it into an actual place you can stay. A treehouse, yes, but not the rickety kind from childhood. Think sleek, grown-up, and unexpectedly indulgent.
The moment you arrive, it hits: the stillness. It’s not silence exactly, but a hush — broken only by birdsong, maybe the distant crunch of leaves. And then there’s your cabin, perched off the ground, peeking through the treetops. Inside, it’s a stylish balance of Nordic minimalism and comfort. Air conditioning? Yes. Flat-screen TV? Sure. A fully equipped kitchen with actual wine glasses and a corkscrew? Also yes. It’s all here, even if part of you was secretly bracing for something more, well, rustic.
The best part? Each treehouse has both a balcony and a terrace. Mornings are for coffee outside, watching the woods stretch out in every direction. Evenings — if you’re lucky with the weather — are best spent out there too, maybe wrapped in a blanket with something strong in your mug. There’s a barbecue area and a big outdoor fireplace if you’re feeling social or just want that campfire smell in your hair.
Now, if you’re the kind of person who can't sit still for too long, you're covered. Hiking and biking trails crisscross the surrounding area, and you can rent gear right on-site. It’s easy to get out there and lose yourself a bit — not metaphorically, but like, maybe actually. It’s part of the charm.
Afterwards, when the legs are aching and your phone says you’ve clocked way more steps than planned, there’s a hot tub waiting. Set under the trees, it’s the kind of reward that makes the hiking feel noble — even if you only walked to the car and back. There’s also a picnic area if you just want to sprawl out with snacks and a good book.
Guests rave about the calm, and they’re not wrong. There’s something almost meditative about being here — the way modern amenities quietly coexist with the woods, without trying too hard to impress. Oh, and it’s pet-friendly. So if your version of peace includes a wet nose and a wagging tail, bring your furry sidekick.
Kaunas Airport is the closest if you’re flying in, about 97 kilometers away. There’s a paid shuttle if you don’t feel like navigating Lithuanian roads on your own. Fair enough.
Treehouse Virš Bedugnės isn’t about flashy features or curated Instagram backdrops. It’s about soft landings. Space to breathe. And that rare feeling of having found a place where you can truly unplug — without giving up your espresso machine.
