An online home rental site has listed the nation’s top wish-listed properties, and a three-room treehouse in Buckhead is No. 1.

San Francisco-based Airbnb says the property is tops in terms of the frequency that it appears on people’s wish lists.

The property is owned by a couple who rents out the treehouse at $350 a night. Airbnb says the property is booked up until March.

Here’s a description as it appears on Airbnb:

“Centrally located within the heart of intown Atlanta, the treehouses are a hidden gem. The subject of numerous TV and magazine features, they are often described as being the most relaxing, romantic, dreamy and unique place you’ll ever stay. What could be better than falling asleep in the trees and waking up to birds singing around you--all within the city limits?

“The treehouse consists of 3 separate rooms, each connected by rope-bridges. Descriptions of the 3 rooms are below.

“Living Room: Antique furnishings including 80 year old butterfly-filled windows, a 12-candle chandelier, comfortable, antique seating for 6, and a balcony overlooking an acre of lush woods.

“Bedroom: Sleeps 2. The pillow-top double bed--fitted with sumptuous, organic linens--is equipped with wheels so it can either be rolled out onto a platform that overlooks the stream below or inside the room for further insulation. A small desk, primitive side-tables, an antique birdcage, Kilim rugs, votives and fairy lights make it comfortable and enchanting.

“Deck: Circular seating for 10 and a hammock lying beneath a 150 year old Southern Short-Leaf Pine tree. Open to the elements and immersed in thick greenery.

“BATHROOM IS LOCATED IN THE BASEMENT/LOWER LEVEL OF OUR PRIVATE HOME. GUESTS WILL HAVE EXCLUSIVE ACCESS TO IT DURING THEIR STAY. The treehouses and main house share a lot and are within a 30 second walk to one another.

“Guests will have free parking in our driveway and access to a full, private, indoor bathroom inside the basement of the main house.

“Other than showing you around when you arrive and bringing coffee in the morning, we’ll completely respect your privacy and leave you alone. However, because the the treehouses and our home share a lot, we are readily available and close by if you need anything.

“The neighborhood is a quiet, residential place. While our lot is located in a particularly peaceful, private and lush part of the area, it is important to remember that it is in the middle of intown Atlanta. While you may hear the occasional siren or train whistle during your stay, the most common sound is that of silence broken only by birds, frogs and the wind in the trees.”
