The boardwalk climbs, and the forest keeps its secret—until it doesn’t. One turn, then another, and Treehouse Place at Deer Ridge steps out from the leaves: a clean-lined, two-storey perch threaded into the canopy. Rectangular at first glance, yes, but the details nudge it from simple to sly. After dusk, the façade glows—lamplight soft inside, warm spill outside—so the red cladding reads like ember against green.
That color choice does real work. In daylight it pops; in shadow it blends; at golden hour it hums. Branches skim the windows, close enough to touch (you will). Birds throw reflections on the glass, and a squirrel might pause on the railing like a nosy neighbor. It’s a true treehouse in the literal sense—no “forest-adjacent” hedging here.
Designed as a hideaway for two, the ground floor gathers all the good clichés of a cozy night in—and earns them. A stone fireplace holds the mood steady; flame becomes furniture. There’s a petite kitchenette for late pasta or early pancakes, an HD TV for the “just one episode” lie, and then the showstopper: a private hot tub peering into the trees. Steam lifts, cedar sweetens the air, and suddenly conversations go long and unhurried.
Upstairs, a queen bed tucks under sloping lines that make sleep feel intentional. A knotty alder barn door slides to a tidy bathroom—well lit, well stocked, and, crucially, un-fussy. The whole place is thoughtful without preening. Hooks where you want them, outlets where you expect them, throws that feel like they were chosen by someone who likes winter.
Dawn is the day’s best argument. Mount Pilchuck takes first light and sends it back in soft gold; woodpeckers set the tempo; deer treat the meadow like it’s theirs (it is). Chipmunks barter in the understory, bald eagles sketch wide loops overhead, and the forest soundtrack edits out all the things you meant to worry about. Sit with coffee on the deck and you’ll understand why the boardwalk rises: perspective, not just access.
Do nothing, and it’s perfect. Do a little—short walks, longer talks, a slow soak—and it’s somehow better. The place asks very little of you beyond attention: to how the light leans across the floor, to the tug of wind in branches, to the way quiet grows louder in the best possible way.
Leaving will feel like a mistake you have to make. You’ll step back onto the boardwalk and, without trying, glance over your shoulder more than once. That glow after dark? It sticks around in memory.
Best Time to Visit
Summer (June–August): Warm, green and ideal for long evenings on the deck, forest walks and outdoor dining. ☀️ °C min/max: +14°/+28°
Autumn (September–October): Colourful leaves, crisp air and a quieter, more reflective atmosphere in the woods. ❄️ °C min/max: +6°/+20°
Winter (November–March): Cold, with possible snow; suited to guests who love a snug cabin feel and winter landscapes. ❄️ °C min/max: −5°/+8°
Spring (April–May): Budding trees, variable weather and fewer visitors; nice if you value calm. ❄️ °C min/max: +4°/+18°

March 15, 2026 at 17:44We stayed at the Sasquatch treehouse. Overall stay was good. Here is my opinion from positive to negative:
Positives-
Location: cute area, secluded location, in the woods. It was also quiet.
Communication: although I didn’t have any questions, I did have pre-check in questions to which was answered in a timely manner.
Appearance: rustic vibe, loved how alexa could adjust the lighting to fit the mood
Accommodations: had the basics that everyone would typically need. The bed was comfy and loved the pillows. There were little heaters, which surprisingly kept the house warm and comfortable.
I liked how they have alexa.
Hot water: never ran out and enjoyed the feeling of it.
Negatives:
Check in instructions: Typically, when booking a room, there would be a follow up email with instructions either right after booking or close to checking in. I received neither and actually had to text and ask for the instructions.
Too close to main house. Although in the woods, I felt like folks could see into the treehouse from the main house so we kept the curtains closed.
Set up: this is a SMALL treehouse, although 2 stories. This is not for anyone who is fluffy, husky, bottom heavy (wide at hips), have bad knees, elderly, or afraid of heights. The stairs are super narrow and curvy. There is limited space! I came with 3 bags and hubby with a small suitcase and backpack. There is no room upstairs to hang clothes or put stuff anywhere as the bed takes up majority of the space so we had to get creative.
Tub: I am a shower girl so using the tub was hard. It would probably be more beneficial to include like a tub bowl or a spray nozzle to easily rinse ourselves for easier bathing. Did not like that it was in the living room so your partner or whomever you are with will be watching you scrub while watching Netflix.
Bathroom: the size of a powder room, which was okay with me however, it smelled of urine as if it wasn’t thoroughly cleaned. Perhaps maybe needs to scrubbed behind and around the toilet and maybe even the walls. Also, the light in there is dim or not that bright so of you need to get ready for a date, do it during the day.
Chair: IMO, a recliner would’ve been better but given the space, I’m guessing it was what could be used. Couldn’t lay down to watch TV or put our legs up to relax so it was just pretty much sitting up in a chair.
No rug by door: we don’t wear shoes in our home, but when we came to the treehouse, it was raining our shoes were wet, thus, the floor by the door was wet. A rug there would be nice to wipe our shoes on so that when we’re taking them off, we’re not also stepping on wet floor from our shoes or doing the hop dance to avoid getting our socks wet.
The overall stay was good and it was a pleasant experience but I honestly would not stay in a treehouse again; it wasn’t worth the cost and ultimately, not for me or hubby but something we can say we at least tried.
