Treehouse Point in Fall City, Washington, offers a luxurious escape into nature with stunning treehouse accommodations, featuring unique designs.
FALL CITY, Wash. — Chances are that your childhood treehouse didn’t come with plumbing or sweeping views of a river valley.
The treehouses at Treehouse Point in Fall City, Washington, overlook the Raging River and rise high above the forest floor, offering guests a more refined take on a familiar childhood dream.
From the ground to the top, some of the structures reach about 200 feet, said Abbey Rodriguez, the property’s general manager.
If you are looking to conquer your fear of heights, this is probably the most comfortable place to do it.
“I mean, absolutely, because why wouldn’t you want to conquer your fears where you know you’re going to be also in a very, very comfortable bed at night?” Rodriguez said.

Treehouse Point features seven treehouses and three ground-level units. Visitors can either book a room for an overnight stay or reserve a walking tour to explore the property.
Along the way, guests might find themselves sleeping in the same trees that have hosted celebrities. Rodriguez said singer Brian McKnight stayed there a few months ago, and rapper Macklemore has also visited. Other guests, she said, have kept a lower profile.
One notable name tied to the property is Pete Nelson, the lead builder and host of the Animal Planet show “Treehouse Masters.” The series ran for 11 seasons and followed Nelson and his family as they built elaborate treehouses.
“It was not just Pete,” Rodríguez said. “It was this whole family, so you got to see Judy. You got to see the boys, Henry and Charlie, and Emily.”
Nelson has been building treehouses since he was a child. He and his family opened Treehouse Point in 2006 with the goal of sharing life in the trees with a wider audience.
“We’ve gotten further and further away from the natural order,” Rodriguez said. “And so, sleeping in a treehouse brings you back to that balance.”
The property is designed to help guests unplug. Wi-Fi is available in the lodges, but most treehouses do not offer internet access.
Each treehouse has its own design. Some reflect a more traditional, rustic style, while others are outfitted with modern amenities. One of those is the Ananda house, which Rodriguez said is accessible to all guests.
“Inside it is incredibly luxurious and spacious because it is the first ever ADA-compliant treehouse in Washington state,” she said.
Rodriquez said Treehouse Point has also become a destination for couples looking to elope or host unconventional weddings.
“One wedding in particular stood out to us, Marta and John,” she said. “They had a Legend of Zelda-themed wedding, and they cut their cake with the sword from Legend of Zelda.”
