Up Where We Belong at Cedar Creek Treehouse

Get high, 50 feet in the sky at Cedar Creek Treehouse. We pinky-swear that the octagonal cabin digs atop this 200-year old Western Red Cedar tree are perhaps the coolest accommodations you�ve ever seen.

Guests brave a towering, five-story giant helix (a.k.a. �Stairway to Heaven�) that leads to the treehouse. The treehouse sleeps up to five people comfortably, with additional space on the fourth floor stairwell observation floor and camping spots below. Don�t expect amenities � electricity is provided by a 12-volt battery, limited supplies of water comes from a well in Ashford, and your fridge is nothing more than your standard issue tailgating ice chest cooler.

From the treehouse, walk the 80-foot rainbow hued suspension footbridge (a.k.a. �Rainbow Bridge�) through a rainforest canopy of cedars, sword ferns, and evergreens guests to the Treehouse Observatory, where the eagle-eye views of Mt. Rainier, Nisqually Valley, Osborne Mountain, Tatoosh, Mt. Wow, Copper Creek Ski Hut and Sawtooth Ridge Peaks would make even National Geographic�s photo editors swoon.

Originally intended as a family getaway, the project was designed and engineered by Bill Compher, with layout and major construction credits going to his son, Cedar.

The mountain retreat is located 10 miles (by car) from the Nisqually River Entrance to Mount Rainier National Park and borders Gifford Pinchot National Forest. High Rock Lookout is just an 8-mile drive or hike away on U.S. Forest Road 84.

Whether you�re a nature geek or a steadfast urbanite, one thing is for sure: a stay in the solitude of Cedar Creek Treehouse will renew your appreciation for your Mother (Earth).

Rates are $300 per night.
