Hidden in the Pacific Northwest is a treehouse unlike any other. Its towering windows, swooping shingles, and wraparound balcony are just the icing on this intricately designed escape. Welcome to Ananda at Treehouse Point.
Mornings at Ananda feel enchanted. The scent of pine, evergreen, and morning mist mingle with the rich aroma of a freshly brewed pour-over. The patio, though cool from the morning air, is welcoming. You sink into the patio chair, close your eyes, and breathe it all in.
“This is the perfect morning,” you whisper.
Ananda is the seventh, and final treehouse at Treehouse Point, a luxury treehouse bed and breakfast that specializes in the perfect morning. After discovering this property back in 2005, Pete and Judy Nelson poured their heart and soul into creating treehouses that were not only great quality, but high art. Fifteen years later, they began the ambitious task of finishing their final treehouse: Ananda.
Ananda is named after the neurotransmitter Anandamide, a natural cannabinoid the body creates to enter a state of bliss. This treehouse embodies that happy feeling with its tall, sloping ceilings, panoramic forest views, and its balcony that overlooks the Raging River. Inside, the dark wood panels, plush leather couches, and animal fur accents elicit a feeling of comfort. Ananda invites you to settle in and stay a while.
Construction rarely goes exactly to plan. That said, the building of Ananda was seamless: a harmonious blend of wood, strength and passion.
On a sunny afternoon, our small crew began installing the plan that was four years in the making, using the HL tab and custom fabricated hardware for stability and longevity of the treehouse.
With a good plan, great people, and easy weather, the construction “went together like butter.”
Twenty-five feet above the forest floor, overlooking a steep drop into the fern covered forest, is Ananda. Despite its towering height, Ananda is the first ever ADA-accessible commercial treehouse in Washington State. Notice the long, gentle ramp that leads to Ananda’s deck, and note how the amenities inside are designed for easy accessibility.
We are proud to have a luxury treehouse that’s accessible to people with mobility limitations. These premium experiences are often sparse for people with disabilities. However at Nelson, we are firm believers that the more people who get to be in the trees, the better!
Run your hands along the walls of Ananda and feel the cedar shingles swoop like ocean waves. Listen to the rushing water of the Raging River from the balcony. Let sunlight stream across your skin as you wake to birdsong. Each tiny detail of Ananda is intentional.
Fun Fact: The crew calls the shingles “swingles” due to their swooping, swinging nature!
This single story treehouse is the epitome of Modern. In addition to the sleek king bed and the floor to ceiling windows, Ananda is fit with a gas fireplace and a fully plumbed half-bath. This picturesque accommodation is often used as a suite for newlyweds or as a backdrop for unforgettable photos.
Notice the deep-colored wood surrounding you as you step into Ananda. The interior of Ananda is made from the finest redwood & Douglas fir timbers from Pete’s reclaimed wood collection.
This is the perfect romantic escape for those who want a unique and intimate getaway in the woods! Find your bliss, with Ananda.
