Yurts, glamping, tiny home camping—you’ve done all that, and it was great. But for a woodsy retreat that literally sweeps you off your feet, it’s hard to argue with an adult-sized treehouse. If that sounds like a childhood dream too good to be true, count your blessings: this is the Pacific Northwest, and we definitely build amazing stuff way up in trees.
Some of these lofted lodgings are Peter Pan-perfect. Others—with swinging bridges, floor-to-ceiling windows, even kitchenettes—are probably more luxe than your original Lost Boys fantasy. Whether you aspire to fire-lookout solitude or a family adventure, find a match among the the 10 fabulous aeries in our slideshow. But remember—you’re not the only Cascadian angling for a bird’s eye view. If you want to book these summertime nests, check soon (see below)!
