Make a Point to Visit Treehouse Point

East of Seattle in Issaquah Washington is a spectacular place to stay. The Dream of Pete and Judy Nelson , Treehouse Point has a variety of options for experiencing the outdoors. This is a definite must visit and great addition to my collection of tents, tent house suites and yurts.

“The THP team is committed to a vision of sustainability while providing opportunities for lodging, education and connection in a unique and natural environment. Whether it’s hosting a wedding, planning a corporate retreat or implementing new practices, green principles are always at the forefront of daily operations. Please contact us with questions, to schedule a site tour or plan an event.”

The property hosts two tree house rooms with two more on the way. There is also a lodge as well as more rustic tents.

“During the summer months we set up the miner’s tent and create a romantic “Out of Africa” experience. With a queen size bed, side tables and a few eclectic curiosities placed about, one feels like true adventure is just around the corner. Miners never had it so good!”

My first choice would be to experience one of the two tree houses, Temple of the Blue Moon and Trillium. It is the largest of the two tree houses. Built in 2006 the room is patterned after the Parthenon in Athens and supported by an ancient Sitka Spruce and Western Red Cedartree. It sits 16 feet off the forest floor and is only a short walk to a raging river and ten minutes from Snoqualmie Falls.

The interior is immaculately appointed with natural wood features, two classic leather reading chairs, a writing desk, a book case and a beatufifully hand-crafted armoire. Topping it off is one of the Treehouse Point’s signature queen size beds. The walls are well insulated with Golden fir to keep your toes nice and toasty year-round. It also has a number of modern conveniences like an iPod/CD player.

Rates range from $110-$215 per night with an included continental breakfast. If you’re looking for a unique getaway or a romantic escape with your favorite someone, this is a great place. If you can imagine how much fun you’d have think of it as the ultimate family friendly kids getaway. What a way to make a dream come true for your kids to sleep in an actual tree house that’s not in danger of being spied upon by the backyard neighbors.

The website is a bit clunky with few picture of the actual property, but what I saw I liked. The limited photo gallery took forever even on a fast connection to view a few of the photos. The photos are high-quality, it just takes a while to see them. I’m missing a few common links that most pages would have, rates, getting here, etc. Things like that to really make the web site useful and freindly.
