10 Amazing Treehouses in the Pacific Northwest

Whether you had one as a child or just dreamed of sleeping closer to the stars, treehouses are whimsical stays that can bring us right back to feelings of childhood adventure. For many, when we think of a treehouse, we may imagine a dodgy structure of plywood walls, cut-out windows, and wood planks tacked to a tree in a makeshift ladder. However, treehouses have grown up right alongside us and become luxurious stays with surprising amenities. 

While few treehouses from our childhoods contained king-size beds, wood-burning stoves, or en-suite Jacuzzis, the treehouses of adulthood combine both the fantastic views of the great outdoors and the comfort of a true home. They are a wonderful way to return to the simple things and experience child-like nostalgia. Perhaps accompanied by a slight adrenaline rush, the treehouses below offer chances to get your feet off the ground and your head in the sky while enjoying the Pacific Northwest outdoors.
