Olympic National Park
Looking over the majestic waters of the Strait of Juan De Fuca, this treehouse provides visitors with an authentic North-West Washington experience. The cozy 1 bed, 1.5 bath home is warm and welcoming inside lined in wood but the true magic is outside where you can relax around a fire or swing while watching ships go by on the water.
Snuggling up on the private porch and watching from above for wildlife is the perfect way to experience the beautiful landscape of Olympic National Park.

This 400 square foot Joshua Tree treehouse was built with salvaged barn beams but has plenty of luxurious amenities like a marble tile shower and a gas fireplace.
