Disney has shared a first look at the refreshed Treehouse Villas at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, and the update gives Disney Vacation Club members a new reason to take a closer look at this unique accommodation. The three-bedroom villas sit on stilts along the Sassagoula River, tucked into the woodlands that have always set them apart from other rooms on property. Here is what the redesign changes, what each villa offers, and when you can expect to book a stay in the updated space.
A New Arts and Crafts Design Direction
The refreshed villas lean into New England craftsmanship and the Arts and Crafts movement. Disney pairs that influence with the playful treehouse setting, then connects it back to the traditional look found across the rest of Saratoga Springs.
A rich color palette anchors the new interiors. Natural finishes such as wood and stone carry through the space, which helps the rooms feel connected to the woodlands just outside the windows. New finishes, furniture, and fixtures run throughout, giving the villas a cohesive and updated feel.
The design choice fits the location well. Rather than fighting the wooded setting, the interiors echo it, which makes the villas feel like a natural extension of their surroundings.
Space and Amenities for Larger Groups
Each villa sleeps up to nine guests, which makes the Treehouse Villas a practical option for larger families or groups traveling together. The layout is built around shared space and self-sufficiency during a stay.
Inside, you will find a full kitchen, an in-room washer and dryer, and dedicated living and dining areas. All of these carry the new finishes and furnishings, so the updated look extends beyond the bedrooms into the spaces where groups spend most of their time.
Private decks remain a centerpiece of the layout. Disney frames them as gathering spots surrounded by the trees that give the villas their name, offering a quiet outdoor area that few other accommodations on property can match.
For members weighing point usage, the combination of nine-guest capacity, a full kitchen, and laundry makes these villas well suited to longer stays where spreading out and cooking in matters.
Hidden Character Details Throughout the Decor
Disney storytelling stays at the core of the redesign. The Arts and Crafts decorative touches include organic elements, with botanical and animal motifs drawn from classic characters appearing across throw pillows, lampshades, and other textiles.
Look closely and you will find more than a dozen nature scenes and characters from Disney Animation woven into the rooms. Disney points to The Fox and the Hound and Sleeping Beauty in wall murals and fine art paintings throughout the villas.
There are smaller touches as well. References to Cinderella are carved into the furnishings and tucked into the architecture above, rewarding guests who take the time to study the details. These hidden elements give the villas a sense of discovery without overwhelming the overall design.
When the Reimagined Villas Debut
Reimagined villas will begin rolling out over the coming months rather than all at once. That phased approach means some guests may stay in an updated villa before the full project is complete.
Disney expects the full renovation to wrap later in 2026. No firm completion date has been confirmed beyond that window, so members planning a stay this year may want to keep an eye on updates as the rollout progresses.
If staying in a refreshed villa is a priority for you, it is worth checking the status closer to your travel dates, since availability of updated units will grow gradually during the rollout period.
Conclusion
The reimagined Treehouse Villas bring a thoughtful Arts and Crafts design, natural materials, and a fresh set of hidden character details to one of the more distinctive accommodations in the Disney Vacation Club portfolio. With space for up to nine guests, a full kitchen, in-room laundry, and private decks set among the trees, they remain a strong fit for larger groups and longer stays. As the updated villas debut over the coming months and the project wraps later in 2026, members planning a visit should watch for availability and consider how these refreshed three-bedroom villas might fit into their next trip.
