Elevated Hillside Haven in Eastern Washington

Nestled in the wooded hills of Eastern Washington, this charming treehouse is a true escape for our clients and their family. Designed to be a haven away from the hustle and bustle, we built this treehouse to have everything needed for an uninterrupted getaway. Complete with a bedroom, loft, kitchenette, full bathroom and even an outdoor shower, it’s a space built for comfort and connection. 

Classic Cabin Exterior

The treehouse is beautifully clad in one of our all-time favorites—Western Red Cedar board and batten siding. The rich tones of the cedar pair perfectly with the modern touch of galvanized metal siding below. Six sturdy trees stand as the foundation of this home in the sky, supported by our signature hefty hardware: a custom steel frame yoke, standard limb TABs, heavy limb TABs, a dynamic uplift arrestor, and cable backup systems. This structure isn’t just picturesque; it’s built to last. 

 

The adventure begins before you even step inside, with a satellite platform connected to a cable suspension bridge lined with whimsical branch picket railings. The elevated journey to the treehouse is just a taste of the magic that awaits within.

 

Step Inside and You’ll Never Need or Want to Leave

As you step inside, you’re welcomed by a warm and cozy interior that perfectly balances rustic charm and modern convenience. There is plenty of space to unwind, whether you’re cozying up on the couch with a good book or watching the flames in the wood-burning fireplace on a chilly evening.

The kitchenette is fully equipped with a sink, range hood, induction stove, and a full-sized refrigerator, making it easy to prepare a meal without ever leaving the treetops.

You’ll also find a full bathroom with a shower, toilet, and sink, providing all the comforts of home in this tranquil retreat.

The first floor has a snug bedroom with a queen-size bed and a cozy bench seat that overlooks the trees. It’s a secluded spot for quiet moments, whether you’re reading or simply enjoying the view with a loved one.

Climb up our custom ship’s ladder to a cozy 130 square foot loft, where a twin bed awaits guests or kids. It’s the perfect perch for a good night’s sleep after a day of exploring the forest.

Deck of Your Dreams

The experience doesn’t stop inside. Step through the double French Marvin doors onto a generous 400-square-foot deck with canopy views. This outdoor space is an ideal spot to relax with a cold drink with views of the mountains in the distance. Around the corner, you’ll find an outdoor shower—a refreshing way to start or end your day.

Easy Breezy Hangout

Take in the treetop vibes from a different angle, head underneath the treehouse, where an airy hangout net crafted by our talented friend Dream Nets Northwest invites you to lounge blissfully in the breeze. 

This idyllic treehouse is the ultimate retreat for our clients and their family—a peaceful treetop cabin where they can escape the everyday chaos and reconnect with nature.
