Did you have a tree house as a kid? Do you remember escaping up there and hiding in your secret corner? It is like having your own whimsical world high up in the tree tops with a bird’s eye view. A haven from the chaos below just living in the clouds without a care in the world. You can escape to a tree house once again. The ever growing popularity of tree house resorts offers an incredible chance to vacation among forest canopies.

Why not try a vacation somewhere out of the norm? Escape the crowded resorts and beaches packed with tourists. Visit one of these tree house resorts and get back to nature. Vacation like a bird flying free in the wild and forget about the world below for a while.

Cedar Creek Tree House

Ashford, WA 10 Miles from Mount Rainier

If you have never seen Mount Rainier, I highly recommend this tree house if only to see this extraordinary active volcano. I was lucky enough to hike in Mt. Rainier National Park, and I think it is one of the must see attractions in our country. It is the most glaciated peak in the contiguous United States and this tree house is located only 10 miles from the Nisqually River entrance to Mount Rainier National Park.

This Cedar Creek Tree House will give you an epic view and a serene, solitary vacation. If you get restless, there is plenty to do and see, but the cozy tree house will be more than enough for a relaxing trip.

Dove Men+Care Elements Treehouse

Located at the foot of Lookout Mountain, it is a gorgeous setting to reconnect with nature that easily sleeps a family of four.

As a world-renowned treehouse architect, author and TV host, Pete created an amazing place to relax by tapping into the great outdoors. The treehouse features skylights, a glass enclosed tree in the bathroom and living plant walls that have sage, ancient Japanese charring preservation as well as wood panels with sandalwood. These elements were drawn from Dove Men+Care line that offers Sage, Charcoal + Clay and Sandalwood variants. Natural, refreshing elements drawn from the outdoors were the perfect addition to the treehouse and an ode to the brand that made it all possible.    

The interior of the treehouse was designed by the founder of home blog Bright Bazaar, Will Taylor.
