    9 Unique Treehouse Rentals In Washington State

    William Stupp
    Updated: April 03, 2023

    Famous for its lush forests, it’s no surprise that Washington State has incredible treehouses. 

    Videos by TravelAwaits

    It’s one thing to walk in the woods and become gripped by the majesty of trees, the organisms upon which all others depend. It’s quite another to enmesh oneself in a tree and live amidst its branches.

    As every child knows, a treehouse is a wonderful thing. Visiting one opens up a new world of adventure and instills a sense of wonder. Adults are not immune to this magic, though many do not realize this fact. However, as fans of the show Treehouse Masters fans know, a getaway in a treehouse, even if just for a night or two, can be an unforgettable experience.

    Washington State is the perfect place to (re)discover your love of treehouses. It has trees aplenty as well as beautiful lakes, magnificent mountains, a host of alluring islands, and is home to three national parks (Mount Rainier, Olympic, and North Cascades). A treehouse stay is an excellent stop on any road trip. Or it can be the focal point of a destination vacation. Opportunities abound.

    Treehouses are a unique kind of accommodation and offer rich rewards to those willing to take a chance and try something different. To reach the living space, some treehouses require climbing, navigating tight spaces, and grappling with heights. Others can be accessed just by walking up a set of stairs. Consider your needs while looking over the options and chances are you’ll find something right for you.

    We scoured Airbnb and Vrbo to compile this list of these unforgettable Washington vacation rentals in the trees. Many parts of the state are represented and the possibilities are endless. Read on and discover the best treehouse rental of your childhood dreams.

    Large Treehouse, Union Hill-Novelty Hill$439/nightly avg

    If you’re a fan of the treehouse trend, you’ve surely heard of Pete Nelson, author and builder of incredible sylvan homes. This treehouse is one of his masterworks. The building sits on a large property a ways behind the owners’ house. Access comes via a 55-foot suspended walkway. Cross it and you will find a luxurious romantic getaway built around a massive tree. Astounding features include a home cinema with a 100-inch screen, WiFi, an outdoor shower, and a private hot tub. Enjoy a Keurig coffee in the morning as you await the daily continental breakfast, delivered via zipline from the main home. The home has a comfortable queen bed and a bunk bed in the loft.

    Nice cabin on the quaint Camano Island. State Parks and Preserves are great places to get out walking and enjoying fantastic views. All this without having to deal with the understaffed Washington State Ferry system!
    We were here on a gorgeous Fall October weekend for a wedding on Cama beach. This was a lovely, clean cottage nearby and near the water ( for walks with the dog) with a loft bed and all amenities ( didn’t see a dishwasher or pods for laundry)
    We had a lovely week on Camano. The cabin was as advertised and well maintained. Check in was seamless and there isn’t a giant list of chores to do to check out, which was appreciated. The only slight quibble we had was with the somewhat ungenerous policy of giving a tiny bit of dish soap and precisely 2 rolls of toilet paper and 2 laundry soap pods. They make it clear that you have to stock household items yourself. And compared to most houses I’ve rented, they provide you very little in the way of household items. We had to buy everything from cooking oils to salt and pepper. Most places will usually have more of the basics available. And the house could use more board games and the like. Also confusing because the house instructions mentioned a dishwasher but this particular cabin doesn’t have one. But these are minor quibbles. Overall we had a great time. Saw rabbits and deer in the yard at dawn and dusk. Made cozy fires at night and had dinner on the deck. A very peaceful place.
    This vacation home is surrounded by beautiful trees in a very quiet neighborhood. The are plenty of comfy places to sit inside and out with a book. We loved all the deck space around the house. Sadly, getting to the beach requires a car, and going for a walk isn’t very relaxing, with no sidewalks and narrow shoulders. I recommend this place if you’re looking for a place to stay in and chill.
    We enjoyed our brief stay at this lovely cabin. Very quiet and private. Very close to the 2 state parks on the island, which were fun to explore.

    Stunning Home On Lake Chelan, Chelan$214/nightly avg

    Rain or shine, from sunrise to sunset, Lake Chelan is something beautiful to behold. Surrounded by the Cascades and nourished by their watery runoff, it is an idyllic sight. All the more so when gazed from the comfort of home. This beautiful Washington treehouse offers visitors a unique glamping experience. It sits atop stilts, enmeshed in foliage on a hillside at the water’s edge.

    The building is a comfortable cabin with rough wooden walls and an impressive wrap-around deck over the water. With two queen bedrooms, a full kitchen, and a propane grill, it’s great for a pair of couples. Just 100 yards from the local beach and 20 minutes from wineries, a water park, and more, you won’t have any problem filling your days with fun. 

    Heads up: While there is running water at this vacation rental, it is natural creek water, so bring some bottled water or use the Brita for drinking water.

    The place is located in a nice area close to the lake. There is a deck where you can jump into the water, but dont think you will be alone in the area. I will say nice location because it was quiet, and close to many places as long as you drive. Weird neighbors – why? We felt we were watch all the time, on one day there was someone who said if they could come inside to check the place because they stayed there before and lost a necklace… of course we said no you cant enter but we can look for it, how was it? and the person who “lost” and stayed before in the place was able to tell us exactly where it was … I mean weird… was there someone checking on us? … Last but not least, you can’t drink the water in the house, this means you will need to boil the water and cool it down to use it, knowing this I was expecting at least a teapot to hit up water, but there was none and I needed to do it on a regular pot.
    Tree house was great and exactly what we needed! Nice water access, great porch and really enjoyed grilling out and sitting out watching the moon rise !
    Place is exactly everything it portrays. Short drive to Chelan, 2 min walk to the beach, place was just perfect. Would stay there again without question
    We had a wonderful time at the Chelan Treehouse! We spent most of our time in the lake or on the amazing deck with the incredible view. The house had everything we needed to be comfortable. The owner responded quickly when we had questions. We hope to return for another stay in the future.
    We had a lovely stay at the cabin. Very nice spot. Know that it is 15 minutes or so to town, but there are a number of nice wineries along that route. Very clean. The kitchen is tiny, but well equipped except it lacked a cork screw and a can opener! We spent all our time on the deck, which is beautiful!

    Treehouse Place, Snohomish$349/nightly avg

    This two-story treehouse in Snohomish County is a fine construction and an excellent hideaway up in the clouds, surrounded by panoramic views of towering Douglas fir trees. It has several amenities that your childhood tree fort surely lacked. These include a large soaking tub, stone fireplace, and HD TV. The building sits on a steep hillside, running parallel to the trees. The first floor has a queen bed fitted with a memory foam mattress. The second floor has a loft area suitable for one young child, so the house is great for couples, plus their young ones, for a memorable weekend getaway.

    Twilight Beach Treehouse, Port Angeles$299/nightly avg

    Enjoy life on the edge in this treehouse near the northwestern tip of the continental United States. Just steps from the water, the home overlooks the Strait of Juan de Fuca, across which Vancouver Island can be glimpsed on a clear day. Made from cedar trees, the home rests 20 feet above the earth, supported by several small trees. It consists of two units; this one is perfect for a couple but has a twin bed and kitchenette and therefore fits a party of three. On a rainy day, stay in and play the board games provided. A shared fire pit is available for guests to enjoy next to the water. The small city of Port Angeles is a short drive away.

    Beautiful everywhere
    This property was everything advertised and more! One of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed and I hope to return in the future!! You need to stay here to experience this for yourself, the treehouse is amazing, the scenery is beautiful, this is a dream come true!!
    This was our favorite stay on our weeklong PNW road trip. Every detail was perfect, from the games and books to the décor. A lot of thought and planning went into this place. Not only does it have wonderful ocean views but it is situated in the most peaceful neighborhood. Our host was very kind and accommodating. We had everything we needed and much more for our stay. My husband and I did not want to leave! 10/10 would highly recommend, we cannot wait to return someday soon.
    Overall, we had a great time. Wonderful views of the straight and we saw numerous bald eagles. The treehouse itself was really cute and extremely well constructed. We would stay there again. Admittedly, though, if you are elderly or have issues with stairs or steep ladders this isn’t the place for you.
    This treehouse is certainly a unique experience. If you are over 6 feet tall, it is a bit of a challenge to get up/down the main sleeping area. The house is very clean and smells wonderful. The views are spectacular, too.

    Woodland Retreat On The Puget Sound, Vashon Island$239/nightly avg

Enjoy the scenic beach and try your hand at crabbing or kayaking with a complimentary equipment (please alert the host in advance). The property has a small dock, a beachside cabana, and a paddle for guests to use. The house itself has two structures, a bathhouse and a two-story construction with a living area and sleeping areas above. Explore the island or take the ferry (the stop is just minutes away) to Seattle.

    Second stay, great place
    It was really fun, I would stay again
    Came here a few months earlier to celebrate my birthday and anniversary. It is truly amazing and we love it. My husband is having major health problems and it was a great place for us all to relax and shake off a little of our stress. My dog loves it, poor worried pup needed this trip too. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful space with us ❤️
    The tree house was the perfect location for my family and I to visit the area for a week. We love the outdoors and what better way to experience Washington than in a tree house. The views were spectacular, the layout of the tree house was fun and allows a family different spaces for alone time, reading games etc. We were able to enjoy the shore at low and high tide and grill fresh fish we purchased at the southern end of the island. We were there in August and enjoyed a quick (cold) swim and the canoe and paddle board.We are from the east coast so some sightseeing was a must. The high speed ferry took us directly to the heart of Seattle for our tourist needs. The island location also puts you in proximity of Ocean Shores to the west and Mount Rainier to the south.To the tourist the ferry’s are an experience and Vashon Island was a perfect location to experience so much Washington has to offer.
    Enjoyed my stay at the treehouse very much, it is exactly as advertised and is beautiful. Highly recommend.

    Cottage And Treehouse On The Yakima River, Teanaway River Valley$324/nightly avg

    This 20-acre property on the Yakima River has a lot going for it. The river itself is a big draw for anyone who loves to fly fish, but whatever their hobbies, everyone can appreciate the property’s lovely tree house. It usually takes quite a verbal tangle to decide who gets to sleep in the tree house (which has a queen and a sofa bed) and who will sleep in the main building (which has another queen and a trundle in the living room). Whatever your bed assignment, be sure to take advantage of the many opportunities on offer around Cle Elum, the northern Cascade’s hub for outdoor activities.

    Loved the treehouse! The property was gorgeous and we saw lots of deer on our morning walks. I really enjoyed having coffee on front porch swing. The towns of Cle Elum and Roslyn are adorable with plenty of shopping and restaurants to choose from. The river was too high to really enjoy, but Cle Elum Lake is a short drive away. We will definitely be back to this property in the future!
    Enjoyed the property! Great place to recharge. The river is beautiful. Many great hikes and really enjoyed watching kayak racing and driving the mountain roads. Enjoyed grilling and hanging out watching the deer.
    It’s a cottage with a treehouse! Awesome. The cottage and treehouse are accurately described in the listing. We found it to be very comfortable.
    Fun country property located well to fish on the banks of the Yakima River or explore the greater area.
    Our stay was wonderful. We had everything we needed and the treehouse was a huge hit.

    Urban Treehouse, North Seattle$211/nightly avg

    Surrounded by soaring trees, this Meadowbrook home offers guests a different kind of stay in Seattle. Though built from the ground up, the home has the distinctive feel of a treehouse. Enter via a bridge connected to the second story, peer out of any window and find yourself immersed in the woods. The top floor consists of the kitchen and cozy living area, while the queen bedroom and onyx-walled bathroom can be found below. The home is 10 miles from downtown and just minutes from Lake Washington.

    The treehouse is even better then it looks online and the artwork is fantastic!
    We stayed here for a week for our honeymoon and it is an amazing place to stay it is quiet and private and absolutely beautiful it’s like having a little rain forest in your backyard the hot tub and amenities are absolutely fantastic Kirk and Casey are very friendly and they will answer any questions you need and are very helpful the location is right by any stores you need it’s just a short walk up the road and it’s very easy to get an Uber to downtown or just get away for the day it’s a very beautiful property and I would definitely stay here again if we are ever back in Seattle.
    We had a great stay in the treehouse and will definitely book again when visiting Seattle!
    Wonderful stay at the tree house. We would stay here again! Highly recommend.
    This great treehouse is a perfect place to stay in Seattle. It’s close to the city yet feels like the country. It’s very well equipped with a full kitchen, including a dishwasher and washer and dryer. The deck off the kitchen was a perfect place for wine in the afternoon and then supper. The hot tub was a bonus. We totally enjoyed our stay!

    Tranquil-A-Tree, Columbia River Gorge$157/nightly avg

    Nestled in a grove of majestic, 100-year-old Douglas fir tees, this 450-square-foot treehouse sits in the foothills of snow-capped Mount Adams. Watch for wildlife from the hot tub on the deck. Located in Klickitat County, Washington, Tranquil-A-Tree is close to Oregon’s Columbia River Gorge in the Columbia River National Scenic Area, which offers outdoor activities year-round. Here, you can raft down rapids, kayak, hike, windsurf, mountain climb, snowshoe, and more. The White Salmon and Klickitat Rivers are also just a few miles away, offering watersports, swimming, and fishing in the spring and fall. One reviewer noted that the “spiral staircase was tight and definitely not kid-friendly.”

    Property was amazing, directions were spot on and it was beautiful. The spiral staircase was tight and definitely not kid friendly. The bathroom upstairs and showered were great!!
    We had such an incredible time at this lodging. We wanted to get away from the stress of the city and found this gem of a place. Our first night, we were sitting at the hot tub listening to music when it started snowing! It was magical. We had downloaded some movies on our tablet and enjoyed watching them wrapped around a fire. Not to mention, how incomparable it is to wake up in the middle of nowhere with your significant other and no interruptions. That being said, I should reiterate some key points that should be obvious from the description but you should have in mind.This lodging is ouuuut there. You have to follow the directions of the host exactly because a) there’s no cell reception for half of the way and b) the roads get pretty wild out there and the last thing you want is to get stuck there.If you are driving, make sure you have snow chains and a 4×4. We had an all wheel drive and I think we would’ve done better on the road leading up to the house if we had a sturdier vehicle.The communication with the hosts leading up to the stay was excellent. I felt like my questions were thoroughly answered and they seemed like lovely folks.Anyways, I don’t know why the last review is from 2017 but I’ve recommended this place to literally everyone I know. It is THAT good! Give yourself a chance to delight in the magic of this place, you won’t regret it.
    For the most part, the treehouse accommodations were what we expected – Charming and a little rugged. Our favorite part about it was listening to cassette tapes and drinking wine under the stars and the colorful lights on the patio. On the downside, we were greeted by a couple of really big dogs that jumped on us and barked at us the whole time we unpacked our car. It was a little intimidating but we’re all dog lovers so it was ok. The dogs came back for a visit in the middle of the night howling at the full moon. Additionally, we couldn’t get the hot tub to heat up so that was a bummer. However, we did not call the caretaker because it was late by the time we decided to get in. He probably could’ve fixed it so I wouldn’t let that deter you. Earlier in the day we walked over and met the caretaker who was very kind and welcoming. Overall, we had a great weekend in White Salmon and Hood River and enjoyed our stay at the treehouse.
    The feeling I received after staying there was that I could live there peacefully for quite some time. The Innkeeper was attentive, some times to the point of being too visible, but he was polite and willing to go the extra mile for us as guests. We have a pleasant visit with the owner – His personality fit as the owner of the property.
    After booking this place and looking at the map, I feared it would be too far out there for us to really enjoy the area. But it was actually just about the perfect amount of “far away” – close enough to get to town easily, but far enough away that we didn’t hear the fireworks (which was the whole reason we went – our dogs hate fireworks).and speaking of dogs, don’t let Bruisers name and size fool you – he is one of the sweetest and best behaved dogs you’ll ever meet. Having him around actually made our stay more enjoyable because he was such a delight. Even our dogs loved him.As for the cabin itself, I don’t think there was anything we needed that wasn’t there. It’s just the perfect size for a couple looking for a nice romantic getaway. The hot tub was clean and worked (we’ve had issues with that at other properties), the bed was comfortable, and the kitchen was fully stocked. The only oddity was the floor sloped a bit, but not badly, and really – it’s a treehouse, built on and in the trees – the slope gave it that rustic feeling. It DID take me a half day to stop feeling like I had just gotten off a ship after a few days at sea (if you’ve ever been in the Navy you’ll recognize that feeling), but it’s all part of the charm.I’ve seen some other reviews that complained about the caretakers house being able to “see in”. Meh.. for one, it’s pretty far away. Across a field and behind a barn. If you’re concerned about him watching you, I have to wonder what kind of neighbors you have. And speaking of neighbors, the caretaker (drawing a blank on his name) is a super interesting guy. Quite a history and great stories if you get the chance to talk to him. We were there on the 4th of July, and when we returned from town that day, he had a whole picnic spread waiting for us for dinner (we had discussed it with him ahead of time – it wasn’t like we wanted privacy and he intruded). Really nice guy, very attentive to our needs.All in all, great stay and once the yurt is complete, we’ll probably go stay there too.
