First Look: Reimagined Treehouse Villas at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort

By entgrove · June 15, 2026

Disney has shared an exclusive first look inside the reimagined Treehouse Villas at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort. The three-bedroom Disney Vacation Club retreats sleep up to nine guests and gain New England and Arts and Crafts-inspired interiors, plus hidden Disney Animation characters. The refresh rolls out over the coming months and finishes later this year.

Disney has pulled back the curtain on the reimagined Treehouse Villas at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, sharing an exclusive first look at the woodland three-bedroom retreats now undergoing a top-to-bottom refresh. The redesigned villas, which lean on New England craftsmanship and Arts and Crafts artistry while keeping their signature treetop charm, will begin debuting over the coming months, with the full renovation slated to wrap later this year.

Treetop Hideaways Along the Sassagoula River

Among the many room types scattered across Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, none are quite as distinctive as the Treehouse Villas. Tucked into the woodlands lining the Sassagoula River, these elevated three-bedroom hideaways are perched among the trees, trading the bustle of the resort's main buildings for space, privacy, and a quiet, secluded setting that feels worlds away from the parks just minutes down the road.

The Treehouse Villas have long been a favorite of Disney Vacation Club members and resort guests alike, prized for their immersive theming and a layout that manages to feel both cozy and surprisingly spacious. Disney describes the freestanding villas as offering "tranquility in an elevated, secluded setting among the trees" — a niche experience at Walt Disney World that has no real equivalent across the rest of the resort's room types.

A New England-Inspired Redesign Rooted in Nature

The refreshed look draws its inspiration from New England-style craftsmanship and the timeless artistry of the Arts and Crafts movement, a design language built around handcrafted detail, honest materials, and a deep connection to the natural world. Disney says the approach is meant to tie the playful, whimsical charm of the Treehouse Villas to the more traditional elegance found throughout the rest of Saratoga Springs, which takes its overall theme from a turn-of-the-century upstate New York lakeside retreat.

A rich color palette and natural finishes such as wood and stone anchor the new design, with the goal of creating an inviting retreat that feels genuinely connected to the wooded landscape outside. It is a deliberate shift toward warmth and texture — the kind of earthy, handcrafted aesthetic that suits a home set among the treetops.

Inside the Reimagined Villas

The redesign reaches every corner of the villa. Each Treehouse Villa sleeps up to nine guests and comes equipped with the practical amenities that make Disney Vacation Club accommodations so well-suited to families and longer stays: a full kitchen, an in-room washer and dryer, and open living and dining areas now outfitted with all-new finishes, furniture, and fixtures.

The villas' signature private decks remain a centerpiece of the experience, giving families an outdoor gathering spot surrounded by the woods — a place to share meals, unwind in the evening, and take in the quiet of the surrounding forest that defines these accommodations.

Hidden Disney Storytelling and Woodland Characters

For all the emphasis on craftsmanship and natural materials, Disney storytelling remains at the heart of the reimagined Treehouse Villas — woven into the redesign through Arts and Crafts-inspired decorative touches rather than overt theming. From throw pillows to lampshades, organic motifs like botanicals and animal designs inspired by classic Disney characters appear throughout the textiles, echoing the natural beauty just outside the windows with a subtle layer of Disney magic.

The deeper guests look, the more they will find. Disney says more than a dozen beloved nature scenes and characters drawn from Disney Animation films and shorts are hidden throughout the villas. Timeless stories such as The Fox and the Hound and Sleeping Beauty come to life through wall murals and fine art paintings, while familiar friends from Cinderella turn up carved into the furnishings and perched high above, tucked into the architecture itself — a treasure hunt of Easter eggs that rewards repeat stays.

What This Means for DVC Members and Guests

The Treehouse Villas have always been one of Walt Disney World's most singular places to stay, and this reimagining keeps that identity intact while modernizing the interiors that members and guests have lived in for years. With the freshened look rolling out over the coming months and the full renovation due to wrap later this year, Disney Vacation Club members planning a return — and guests curious to try a treetop stay near Disney Springs — will want to keep an eye on availability as the redesigned villas come online.
