In the corner of Vermont known as the Northeast Kingdom, this treehouse above Walker Pond is one of the most regal castles.

Our #1 home for the holidays has no electricity, is literally freezing inside, and turns to slush every spring
Our #1 home for the holidays has no electricity, is literally freezing inside, and turns to slush every spring. Yet guests can’t wait to come back to Antti’s Arctic igloo. Whether viewed by candlelight or the Northern Lights, it’s a place you’ll never forget. In the morning, head to the nearby park to see how fast reindeer can move when they’re not lugging a bunch of cargo around. Link in bio.

The surrounding village feels the same way, with hundreds of half-timbered houses nearly untouched since the 15th century. Link in bio.
