If you want a treehouse that actually feels like a treehouse—movement, bark, birdsong, the lot—Olympia Treehouse has your name on it. You slip off the road and into green: Douglas firs with furrowed bark, cedar breath in the air, old hemlocks shouldering the sky. The path in is half-introduction, half-spell. (Yes, you’ll slow down. You won’t mind.)
Up in the canopy, Olympia Treehouse keeps things delightfully honest. On windy nights it sways a touch—safe, but present—like the forest is reminding you who’s hosting. The half bath curves around the base of a big cedar (respectfully), and the composting loo is the kind you brag about later because it… doesn’t smell. Warm water at the sink, plenty of hooks for towels, and then—my favorite bit—the cedar outdoor shower with a skylight. Steam, cool air, treetops. You’ll take longer showers than usual. Sorry-not-sorry.
Inside is intentionally compact, more nest than suite. The loft bedroom at Olympia Treehouse is cozy on purpose, perfect if you’re under about 5'9". Not a bug; a design choice. The ladder is sturdy, rated to 220 lbs, and the reward up top is that tucked-away feeling you haven’t had since blanket-fort days. Sounds carry softly up there: frogs dialing up in spring, wind brushing needles in summer, a hush you can almost hear in winter. Autumn? A riot—color everywhere.
Cooking is alfresco and unfussy. An outdoor prep nook, fresh herbs from the garden (grab a sprig of rosemary; it earns its keep), and a grill that turns dinner into an excuse to linger outside. The patio furniture is the kind you sink into without ceremony, plates balanced on knees, the forest doing its slow theater around you.
A few reality notes (because real places have them): if you’re very tall, the loft will feel small. If you prefer hotel-grade soundproofing, the forest will laugh at you—in a kind way. If you want plug-and-play luxury, Olympia Treehouse isn’t that. It’s gentler, more elemental. You trade a bit of square footage for the thrill of waking eye-level with a wren.
Olympia Treehouse appears where seasons actually act like seasons. Spring peepers. Summer shade and resin-sweet air. Autumn’s burnt-sugar palette. Winter’s snow-muted stillness. Pick your mood. All of them work.
Rates start around €320 with a two-night minimum, booked via Airbnb. Bring soft-soled shoes, a book you’ve been “meaning to read,” and someone who appreciates quiet. Leave the inbox at home. Or don’t—signal’s spotty and the trees have opinions.
