Through tours, overnight stays, and corporate retreats, visitors get the chance chance to experience real treehouses and the tranquility that has made the property a destination for travelers from around the world.

Yes! If you’re looking to catch sight of our treehouses, but can’t stay the night, we have the perfect offering for you.

Every month, our team puts together several property tours, where guests are guided through Treehouse Point by a knowledgeable tour guide.

Tours are an enchanting way to see the forest and treehouses. Each tour starts promptly at 12:15 PM and last about 1 hour. As you wander the trees with an expert guide, you'll get the opportunity to view all seven treehouses, the additional accommodations, and ask questions about their design, construction, and history.

Tour tickets become available online at 2 p.m. PT on the first Tuesday of the month prior to the month you’d like to visit. Tours are open to all ages, but we strongly recommend the tour for ages 4 and above.

Do you ever do tours with Pete Nelson?

For those who don’t know, Pete Nelson is the visionary behind Treehouse Point and star of the television series Treehouse Masters. Through his company, Nelson Treehouse and Supply, Pete has designed and built hundreds of treehouses around the world, inspiring people to reconnect with nature through elevated living. Alongside his wife, Judy, he transformed this riverside forest into the cozy treehouse retreat guests know and love today.

On rare occasions, we offer a Private Tour with Pete Package, where guests are guided through Treehouse Point by the man who brought it to life. Available exclusively to our email subscribers, this highly anticipated experience sells out quickly each time it is released.

In the past, the Private Tour with Pete Packages have included early access to the property, a private tour of Treehouse Point and select treehouses with Pete, an intimate charcuterie and wine Q&A in the Pond Room with Pete, and a two-night stay in either Burl, Trillium, Temple of the Blue Moon, or Ananda.

With the construction of Treehouse Kitchen underway, we’re hopefull to add an even more unique experience to future packages.

Snoqualmie:

Snoqualmie is a place built for the cover of postcards. From the towering Snoqualmie Falls waterfall 270 feet  above the river below, to the Historic Downtown with a railway station, Snoqualmie is a place you don’t want to miss out on. Afterward seeing the falls, head on over to the Historic Downtown Snoqualmie for some delicious wine at Sigillo’s or up to the Ridge for some comfort food and live music at Saints and Scholars Irish Pub.

Fall City:

Experience small-town charm when visiting Fall City, our closest neighbors and long time friends. 

As you walk along the main street, weave in and out of the unique markets, second-hand stores, and restaurants. One of our personal favorite spots is Aroma Coffee Co, where you can order some delicious specialty coffee made with syrup crafted by Chef Manny, and soon-to-be pastries and savory items from Treehouse Kitchen. Our favorite way to spend the afternoon is sipping a drink from the balcony of Pete’s Treefort.

No visit to Fall City would be complete without a stop at Moo Ice Cream. With its cow-print exterior and giant cow perched on the roof, it's nearly impossible to miss! The ice cream is just as memorable as the building itself.

Welcome to Treehouse Point: Washington’s Dreamy Forest Escape

Tucked away in the lush, rolling forests of the Snoqualmie Valley is a cozy bed and breakfast unlike any other. Instead of ordinary rooms, guests are invited to stay in handcrafted treehouses, each situated in a forest canopy of their own.

Welcome to Treehouse Point.

Tucked away in the lush, rolling forests of the Snoqualmie Valley is a cozy bed and breakfast unlike any other. Instead of ordinary rooms, guests are invited to stay in handcrafted treehouses, each situated in a forest canopy of their own.

Welcome to Treehouse Point.

How It All Began

When the urge to retreat to the wilderness calls, Treehouse Point answers, and has answered for the past twenty years!

It all began with a single treehouse, arguably our most iconic — Temple of the Blue Moon, completed in 2006. Once Temple of the Blue Moon was finished, guests were invited to stay in the trees, marking the start of a truly unique experience.

Over the next two decades, the team from Nelson Treehouse and Supply has brought to life ten enchanting stays, the the most recent being the LoveBomb, completed in 2024.

Treehouse Point is the culmination of Pete Nelson’s love for the forest and treehouse building, and Judy Nelson’s passion for entertaining. Full of whimsy, love, and woodland magic, the Nelsons invite you into the trees for a stay unlike any other.

What to Expect

After passing through the gate and parking in our intimate front gravel lot, the first structure you’ll see is a large, moss green building called the Lodge.

This is where you’ll be greeted by one of our helpful staff members and check in for your stay. Check-in is at 4pm and check out is at 11am.

Additionally, though any age can attend our guided property tours, overnight stays are exclusively for those age 16 and above to maintain a mature atmosphere. 

The Lodge

The Lodge is where your breakfast will be served every morning, made by our talented chefs at Treehouse Kitchen. Pick from the shelves of books and board games by the fireplace as you grab a cup of our freshly brewed Pete’s Treefort Coffee Club, made in collaboration with our favorite local coffee shop, Aroma Coffee.

A winding staircase at the back leads to the second floor of the building, where you’ll find our cozy Cedar Suite, a spacious room with a king-size bed, a private bath, and a balcony with sweeping forest views. 

The Treehouses

Once you’ve checked in, step outside and let the magic of the treehouse forest wash over you. Guests often say that they feel they’ve stepped into another world when they enter the back property, where seven thoughtfully crafted treehouses and two additional, one-of-a-kind accommodations await. 

While finding your treehouse, you may practice the art of shinrin-yoku, or “forest bathing.” This mindfulness exercise encourages people to immerse themselves in the sights, sounds, and scents of the forest. This is a simple way to relax and fully soak in your surroundings.

While wandering the intertwining paths, notice our seven unique treehouses: Temple of the Blue Moon, Trillium, Burl, Nest, Upper Pond, Bonbibi, and Ananda. Each treehouse is equipped with a Chemex coffee station, plush robes, soft beds, and special details unique to each stay. 

Learn more about each treehouse here.

Additional Forest Accommodations

You’ve met the stunning Cedar Suite. Now, it’s time to meet our two other whimsical accommodations. Though these getaways are not treehouses, they are unique, carefully crafted forest stays full of personality. 

The first is Hideaway, a rustic structure tucked at the edge of our property for maximum privacy. Listen to the the Raging River flow over rocks as you sip your morning coffee on the sunchairs under Hideaway’s translucent porch roof.

The second accommodation is LoveBomb, a 60’s inspired love shack made from an upcycled army truck. Notice the four large wheels, landing deck, and bright red driver’s cabin.

Learn more about our additional accommodations here.

Wander, Explore, Unwind

The Snoqualmie Valley hosts a wide variety of excursions, from beautiful hiking trails to cozy open mic nights! Whether your idea of the perfect day includes exploring the valley or simply lingering in the trees a little longer, there’s bound to be something here for you. We encourage you to ask our team for their recommendations of nearby activities and restaurants.

Treehouse Point has a two-night minimum policy due to guest feedback that “one night is not enough!” This policy gives guests the chance to explore nearby towns, slow down, and discover new favorite hidden gems. There are some exceptions to the two-night rule, including Sunday nights and select promotions.

While here, indulge in our complimentary s’mores kits and use either our outdoor fire pit or the fireplace in the Lodge to roast marshmallows and chat.

Want to stay cozy in your treehouse? Order our CharcuterTREE board, a curated selection of seasonal fruit, artisan cheese, local meats and crackers, ahead of time to bring to your bed!

Romantic Getaways 

There’s nothing more romantic than an intimate escape into the wilderness. The Pacific Northwest is known for its dark, romantic atmosphere: misty mornings, lingering fog, and rain-soaked afternoons — Truly, an iconic lover’s retreat.

In fact, Treehouse Point was voted the Best NW Romantic Getaway in 2025 by readers of 425 Magazine!

To make your stay even more special, we offer amenities like our Romance in the Trees Package, which includes rose petals, prosecco or wine for two, artisan truffles, and a morning mimosa.

Our newest package is the Sparkles and Strawberries Package, complete with six house-made chocolate-covered strawberries, bottle of chilled premium champagne, and rose petals on the bed to set the mood.

Dreamy Wedding Destination

Set deep within the forest, Treehouse Point offers a sense of privacy and presence that feels rare and intentional. Due to the property’s concealment, the uniqueness of the treehouses, and the natural beauty of the surroundings, Treehouse Point is often described as a dream wedding destination. We host weddings, elopements, micro-weddings, and even retreats.

Ceremonies can take place outdoors on the green, surrounded by forest, or inside our cedar-lined Pond Room. On rainy days, couples often embrace the weather, whether that means moving indoors or celebrating outside beneath a canopy of umbrellas.
