Where We've Been: The Treehouse

A few miles outside of Seattle, in Issaquah, Washington, lies a forest haven known as Tree House Point. Featuring ten hand-built treehouses, our product coordinator Kelly S. ventured to this canopied retreat with her fiancé to recharge and reconnect with nature in a two story, western red cedar treehouse. While equipped with electricity and restrooms, the enclave is otherwise “off the grid,” encouraging guests to unplug, explore, practice yoga, or enjoy a soothing massage in the main lodge. Surrounding the houses, four acres of forest trails brimming with ferns filter down to the banks of the Raging River. During their stay, Kelly and her fiancé discovered the zen practice of river rock stacking, lounged in hidden hammocks, and hiked on nearby Mt. Si. “The trip was much-needed,” Kelly says, “bringing a profound sense of peace that can only be discovered amongst the moss and bending branches of the forest—it felt like being in an enchanted fairy realm.”
