Treehouse Villas

Treehouse Villas at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort

Last updated: May 2, 2023

Overview

Unique among Disney villas are these eight-sided, two-bedroom villas on stilts. Well-decorated and comfortable, they're great if you plan to spend a lot of time relaxing, not great if you're mostly in the parks.

Cost Range

$1,043-1,942

Lodging Area

Disney Springs

What Readers Are Saying About Treehouse Villas at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort

For this trip, the quiet and more natural setting were a wonderful break. We would definitely stay here again!

The Treehouse Villas are nice enough, and located in a quiet and pretty woodsy setting, but come at a high price. Transportation is abhorrent, and I actually had some idea what to expect. I would suggest not to stay here if going into the parks is the main objective of your vacation.

Treehouse villas were very beautiful - photos make the colors look "muddy", but color scheme fit perfectly with setting. It was great to have so much room - 2 families included 2 children, 3 adults. It was very quiet and peaceful.

We stayed at the treehouses in Saratoga Springs. The room itself was amazing (especially the master bathroom) but I wouldn't recommend staying there without renting a car.

Rooms

The three-bedroom Treehouses usually cost a bit more per night than a comparable two-bedroom villa and substantially less than a standard three-bedroom villa elsewhere at Saratoga Springs. The trade-off for that third Treehouse bedroom is giving up some space elsewhere.

  • Room with Queen Bed(s) and en-suite bathroom
  • Balcony or patio
  • Dresser with drawers
  • Full-length mirror
  • Wireless Internet (Wi-Fi)
  • Flat-panel TV
  • Coffee maker and starter supply of coffee pods
  • Ironing board and iron
  • Hair dryer
  • Digital thermostat
  • In-room safe
  • Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and bar soap

The interior of each villa is decorated with natural materials: stone floors in the kitchen, granite countertops, and stained-wood furniture. End tables, picture frames, and bunk beds are made from rustic logs. Bathrooms, outfitted in modern tile, have showers and tubs, along with a decent amount of counter space. Showers can be cramped.

Hotel Room Finder
Dining

There's no on-site dining at the Treehouse Villas, and Saratoga Springs is a long outdoor walk away. Have a car if you stay here.

The Turf Club Bar and Grill Rarely crowded.

The Artist's Palette The quick service location near the Saratoga Springs check-in area. The food is average and mostly identical to what is found at quick service places around property, but is a fine option for those staying at the resort.

Chip 'n' Dale's Café This small snack stand sits behind the main building of Saratoga Springs Resort, along the Lake Buena Vista Golf Course. It offers snacks, sandwiches, and drinks. There is a small, shaded seating area as well.

The Paddock Grill Standard breakfast fare in the mornings, along with burgers, salads, sandwiches, and alcoholic drinks during the day and night.

Backstretch Pool Bar Saratoga Springs Resort has three pools and three pool bars to go with them. Backstretch Bar is located next to the smallest and quietest of the three, and is totally underwhelming. Using the standard Disney bar menu with the addition of Saratoga Lager on tap (like all the Saratoga Springs Resort bars) and being located at a nondescript pool means that there is little reason to visit this bar if you’re not swimming here. The fact that the bar is only open seasonally (and infrequently at that), means that even those swimming there may be out of luck.

On the Rocks The main pool bar (of the three at Saratoga Springs Resort) is On the Rocks, located near the feature pool, High Rock Spring. Compared to the Backstretch Bar, this is the superior of the two in every way: It looks nicer, has a better view of the more interesting pool, and has more seating. The drink menu is the same, adding Saratoga Lager beer on draught to the otherwise standard Disney bar menu. On the Rocks is not a bar to make a special trip to see, but it is a pleasant place for a drink if you find yourself at Saratoga Springs. It’s location next to the check-in area and main restaurants makes it an easy stop for visitors. Additionally, it is only a few minutes walk from the Backstretch Bar, thereby making it the better of the two choices.

The Turf Club Lounge

Saratoga Springs Private Dining

Refillable Mugs Allows guest self-service soft drink refills from quick-service locations in hotels (NOT in theme parks) for $22.99 for the length of stay.

Amenities

SWIPE TO EXPLORE

5 Pools

Saratoga's main pool is the High Rock Spring Pool, with a 128-foot waterslide, children's play area, and whirlpool spas. It's really done well. The Paddock Pool has three water slides: a 146-foot slide for older kids, and two smaller slides for young ones. Three other leisure pools are located around the resort.

Arcade

The Win, Place, or Show Arcade is near the High Rock Spring pool and features relatively recent video games of all kinds.

Outdoor Movies

Free Disney Movies Under the Stars are shown on Sunday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, weather-permitting, at the DVC Courtyard.

Fitness

The Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa Health Club has weights, treadmills, and other equipment for your workout. Hours are typically 6 AM to 9 PM.

Jogging & Sports

Saratoga has two jogging trails - one is 1.44 miles and the other is 0.8 miles. Bike rentals are available at Horsing Around Rentals Tennis, basketball, and volleyball are also available there.

Campfire Activities

Roast marshmallow around a campfire starting at 5:30 PM nightly at the DVC Courtyard near the main lobby.

Playground

Saratoga has 3 children's playgrounds around the resort: near the Paddock Pool, at the Grand Stand Pool, and the Congress Park pool.

Early Theme Park Entry

Disney resort guests get into each theme park 30 minutes earlier than off-site guests, every day.

Buy Individual Lightning Lane Early

Those staying at Disney's Deluxe and Deluxe Villa hotels can buy Lightning Lane via Individual Purchase at 7:00 a.m. each day. Others cannot make that purchase until the official park opening time.

Extended Evening Theme Park Hours

Disney's Deluxe and DVC resort guests get two extra hours in select theme parks on certain days of the week. The schedule changes, so check with the front desk.

Practical Matters

Online Check-In

All Disney resorts participate in Disney’s Online Check-In program. If you’ve checked-in online and provided a mobile phone number or email address, you will receive your room number electronically. Then you can go straight to the room and use your smart phone or MagicBand to open the door, skipping the lobby altogether.

MagicBand

These rubber and plastic wrist bands can function as your room key, park admission, charge card, and more! MagicBands cost money, but if you'd like a free option you can use the official Disney World app on your phone or request an RFID-embedded card at the front desk.

Theme Park Tickets

Park tickets are best purchased online in advance either directly through Disney or via our Least Expensive Ticket Calculator. However, if you arrive without park tickets, head to the concierge desk in the hotel lobby.

Dining Reservations

Dining reservation are best made online in advance or on your phone or tablet during your visit. You can also use our Disney World Reservation Finder.

Laundry

Washers and dryers are availabile in laundry facilities at each Disney World hotel. Cost is $3 per wash, and another $3 per dry cycle. A small selection of soap, fabric softener, and dryer sheets are also sold, for around $1 each. Only credit/debit cards can be used for payment. For more information, see our Disney World Laundry Facilities page.

Lost and Found

If you lose something in a theme park or during your stay at a Disney-operated hotel, visit Disney's Lost and Found website or call (407) 824-4245.

Shopping

Disney hotels have gifts shops near their lobbies with a decent collection of Disney-branded souvenirs. You will also find basic pharmacy items such as sunscreen, aspirin, allergy and cold medicine, baby diapers and formula, shampoo, and the like. Resort hotels with Deluxe Villa rooms offer an assortment of groceries, as well.

Child Care

Disney recommends a third party company, Kid's Nite Out, to provide babysitting services at the resort hotels. See our Disney World Child Care page for more information.
