There are nearly a dozen of these sky-high sleeping spots, which are perfect for everything from a romantic couple’s weekend to a family get together. There are a few different room configurations: the Double which sleeps up to four people, the Skamania Lodge West rooms which are the newest and highest at 40 feet up, and the King which sleeps two people.

A wheelchair accessible option is also available, and that tree house is lower to the ground with a ramp.

Inside you’ll find a king size bed with luxury linens, a huge, spa-like bathroom with plush towels and robes, and a seating area in front of an indoor/outdoor fireplace. A fun feature of the larger Skamania tree houses is the ‘nook’ which is a queen-size day bed that feels like a tent thanks to its tented drapes, and is a hit with the kids.

One of the best features are the private outdoor areas. Each tree house has its own deck with seating, where you can enjoy a morning coffee or glass of wine while soaking up views of the Cascade Mountains and surrounding old growth forest.

When dusk falls, gather around your roaring outdoor fire pit, and enjoy the s’mores kits that are thoughtfully included in each room while gazing up at the stars.
