Treehouse Point

Nestled among the verdant woodlands of Washington State’s Snoqualmie Valley lies a destination that weaves childhood dreams into a tangible reality: Treehouse Point. This enchanting haven isn’t just about bridging the gap between imagination and reality—it’s also about elevating the very notion of an escape, both metaphorically and quite literally.

The moment you step foot on this enchanting enclave, you are confronted with a question: Were these treehouses crafted by the hands of artisans, or did they magically sprout alongside their arboreal hosts? It’s the genius of the Nelson family that brings this confusion to life.

While many of us reminisced about the treehouses of our youth, clinging to a hope that maybe, just maybe, we could relive those magical moments, the creators of Treehouse Point turned this nostalgia into a boutique resort experience. Each treehouse, meticulously designed and curated, stands as a testament to craftsmanship, comfort, and creativity.

Upon arrival, visitors are greeted by the gentle whisper of the Raging River, a soundtrack that persists throughout their stay, reminding them of the world’s organic rhythms. The tall, stoic trees, some of which have been standing for centuries, hold the architectural marvels aloft, each one unique in design and ambiance.

Since their acquisition of the property in 2004, the Nelsons, fueled by a lifelong passion for treehouses and an unwavering respect for nature, have transformed this verdant patch of forest into a dreamy sanctuary. Their dedication to preserving and showcasing the beauty of the natural environment is evident in the design of each of the six iconic treehouses. The treehouses are constructed with minimal impact on the trees, and the resort uses eco-friendly practices in its daily operations. This dedication ensures that every structure seamlessly melds harmoniously into the surroundings, giving the impression that the trees willingly cradled these houses in their boughs.

What sets Treehouse Point apart isn’t just its commitment to ecological harmony, but the unparalleled experience it offers its visitors. Here, you are invited to clamber up ladders, traverse wobbly rope bridges, and be enveloped by panoramic views of the thick, evergreen canopy. Every corner, from the intricately designed interiors to the expansive windows, highlights the majesty of the wilderness outside.

And while the tranquil ambience might make you feel worlds away from the hustle and bustle, the vibrant city of Seattle is surprisingly just a short 30-minute journey away. Yet, the magnetic pull of this serene hideaway makes leaving a tough choice. For those not ready to commit to an overnight adventure, Treehouse Point graciously offers tours, granting a sneak peek into their architectural marvels.

For the adventurous spirit, there’s more to Treehouse Point than the allure of elevated wooden abodes. The surrounding Snoqualmie Valley offers hiking trails that meander through old-growth forests, leading to breathtaking waterfalls and scenic overlooks. The proximity to Snoqualmie Falls, one of Washington’s most popular attractions, adds another feather to its cap.

For those considering a visit, whether it’s for a romantic getaway, a solo retreat, or even a wedding (yes, they host those too!), Treehouse Point promises a blend of tranquility and adventure, luxury and simplicity. Offering a range of accommodations, from the quaintest hideouts to the magnificent Burl – which demands a minimum of a 3-night stay – there’s a space for every kind of nature enthusiast. With rates commencing at a reasonable €280 per night, a visit to Treehouse Point is more than just a stay; it’s an immersion into a realm where nature and human ingenuity coalesce harmoniously.

In today’s world, where concrete jungles often overshadow the natural ones, and where the hum of electronics drowns out the melodies of nature, Treehouse Point emerges not just as a place to visit, but as an experience to be felt and remembered. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the best way to touch the sky is to climb a tree.
