The Ultimate Pacific Northwest Spring Getaway In Washington
Spring in Western Washington is nothing short of magical, especially when you’re tucked away in a treehouse. Our treehouse bed and breakfast is especially whimsical during this time of year; notice how the treehouse forest comes to life with budding flowers, fresh green growth, and little critters scurrying around the forest floor. There’s no shortage of things to do nearby, and throughout this blog, we’ll help you build the perfect spring itinerary for your Snoqualmie Valley (and beyond) getaway.
Spring in Western Washington is nothing short of magical, especially when you’re tucked away in the trees. Imagine waking up to soft light shining in through your floor-to-ceiling windows as you are reminded you slept high in the canopies the night before.

Chase the Cherry Blossoms
Late March through early April marks peak cherry blossom season in the Pacific Northwest. For a picture-perfect afternoon, head to the University of Washington’s Seattle campus and settle beneath a canopy of soft pink blooms. Bring a good book, a warm drink, and something to snack on—it’s the kind of place you’ll want to linger.
Looking for something a little closer to home? Just five minutes from Treehouse Point, Fall City offers its own small town charm. In spring, soft pink cherry blossoms line the main strip, with views of Mount Si rising in the distance. Right across the street is the Fall City Art Park, with a few cozy benches and beautiful cherry blossom views.
While you’re there, stop by Pete’s Treefort at Aroma Coffee Co. It’s a playful handcrafted structure built by the team at Nelson Treehouse & Supply. Though small, Pete’s Treefort is an unforgettable piece of the magic. You’ll find people sipping their drinks on the stools up top, soaking in the sunshine and elevated views.

Spring Hiking Nearby
Some of our favorite nearby trails are open year-round, but they feel especially magical in the spring. Lower elevation hikes begin to bloom with wildflowers during this time of year, while higher elevation trails, like those at Mount Rainier National Park, wake up a little later, with peak blooms arriving in the summer months.
Some of our favorite nearby trails For Spring include:
Poo Poo Point, which offers sweeping views over the city of Issaquah all year round. In the summer, you’ll see people paragliding from the top in tandem with an instructor.
Dirty Harry’s Balcony via Birdhouse Trail for a more adventurous climb. At the top, you’ll reach a rocky ledge overlooking the valley below, showcasing expansive views of the evergreens.
Ira Spring Trail to Mason Lake, a gorgeous seven-mile trail with sights of the valley, wildflower meadows, and lake.
Rattlesnake Ledge, an extremely popular hike in North Bend (for good reason), with a breath taking panorama of Rattlesnake Lake from the top.
Twin Falls at Olallie State Park, a nearly three mile hike with views of the Lower Falls and Upper Falls. You’ll find gorgeous wildflowers early May to early June.
Visit the Kirkland Water Front
Spring is also the perfect time to slow down and soak in the beauty of the region.
When the sun finally shines in the Pacific Northwest, Washingtonians are quick to escape to the outdoors. We recommend doing the same by taking a stroll along the Kirkland waterfront, or bring a book and sit at one of the numerous parks along Lake Washington. You’ll likely see families basking in the rays alongside you, friends playing frisbee in the parks, and bikers blazing through the trails. Kirkland is a people-watcher’s dream!
If you’re craving a deeper reset, treat yourself to a wellness experience at Von Sauna—a peaceful escape designed to help you fully unwind. This unique experience invites you to spend time in the sauna’s heat, then plunge into the frigid waters of the lake. Repeat a few times for maximum rejuvenation. Make new friends by signing up for a social session, or book the entire floating sauna for yourself!
Exploring Small Town Charm
Spend an afternoon wandering through historic downtown Snoqualmie.
Pop into cozy, artsy cafés like The Black Dog, known for its warm atmosphere, vegan options, and weekly open mic nights. Grab an ice cream cone from Snoqualmie Ice Cream and walk past the Historic Snoqualmie Depot, or even go inside the museum and look at the exhibits for free!
Just a short drive away, North Bend offers another iconic stop. Fans of Twin Peaks will recognize the town’s familiar feel—and you can even sit down at Twede’s Café, a beloved filming location.

Choosing which treehouse to book can be a delightful dilemma. Some guests prefer a cozy, intimate abode—there’s nothing quite like snuggling up with your partner in a treehouse built for two.
Others dream a little bigger. If you’re looking for extra space to stretch out and soak in the forest views, we’ll take you on a journey through our four most popular, and largest, treehouses at Treehouse Point: Temple of the Blue Moon, Trillium, Burl, and Ananda.
1. Temple of the Blue Moon
Temple of the Blue Moon holds a special place in the story of Treehouse Point. Built in 2006 as the very first treehouse on the property and renovated in 2019, it remains one of the most iconic structures in the treehouse forest.
Inspired by the elegance of the Greek Parthenon, Temple of the Blue Moon feels both enchanting and timeless. Wooden columns shape the treehouse, creating the feeling that you’ve stumbled upon a hidden sanctuary tucked deep within the forest.
Does Temple of the Blue Moon look familiar? You may have spotted it on Animal Planet’s Treehouse Masters with Pete Nelson.
To reach the treehouse, guests cross a dreamy suspension bridge. It’s one of the most romantic spots on the property and a favorite backdrop for weddings and elopements.

Upon reaching the entrance of Temple of the Blue Moon, you’ll see two doors. One leads to a private, fully plumbed half bath with running water and heated flooring. The other leads to your cozy treehouse getaway.
Inside, you’ll notice two sleek leather chairs, a writing desk, bookcase, handcrafted armoire, and two steps leading up to a tall, custom-built queen-size bed.
Look out the interior windows and you’ll spot the sturdy tree trunk that holds Temple of the Blue Moon, with windows that curve gently around it. In Temple of the Blue Moon, you truly feel like you are one with the forest.
Book your stay in Temple of the Blue Moon here.
2. Trillium
If you’re eager for views, Trillium’s wall of windows looking into the treehouse forest provides a breathtaking panorama of the heart of Treehouse Point.
Nestled beside our peaceful rainbow trout pond, Trillium rises 15 feet high in a majestic cedar, offering a two-story escape among the treetops. A playfully curved staircase wraps around the tree, pausing at a mid-level viewing platform before leading to the front door.
Continue on, and you’ll find a cozy living space with two plush leather chairs, perfect for snuggling up with a good book, a coffee table, and two-story high curtains that you can close for privacy.
A ship’s ladder leads up to the loft, where a queen-sized bed awaits alongside a fully plumbed half bathroom with running water.
With expansive windows giving you unparalleled forest views, you genuinely feel like you're part of the wilderness when staying in Trillium. Book your stay in Trillium here.
3. Burl
Often called our honeymoon suite, the Burl is a favorite for couples seeking romance and privacy.
Perched above a dramatic drop with views of the Raging River, it offers seclusion, charm, and all the comforts for a dreamy getaway. Built by the Nelson Treehouse team in 2013, the Burl continues to be a top choice for newlyweds and lovebirds alike.
Inside, a cozy living space features two plush leather chairs—perfect for curling up with a cup of tea or coffee from the chemex station.
A ship’s ladder leads to the loft, where a queen-sized bed awaits alongside a fully plumbed half bathroom with running water. Windows surround the loft, making it feel like you’re sleeping in the wild.
Step outside onto the covered back deck to take in sweeping views of the Raging River. Settle into one of the wooden chairs and let the serenity of the forest take over.
Burl is tucked away in the spring and summer foliage for an intimate, private retreat. In the fall and winter, see Burl in full bloom as the deciduous trees shed their leaves, leaving a gorgeous view of the treehouse! Book your stay in Burl here.
4. Ananda
Step inside Ananda, our luxurious treehouse named after the neurotransmitter Anandamide, which evokes a feeling of bliss. With tall, sloping ceilings, panoramic forest views, and a balcony overlooking the Raging River, it’s impossible not to feel at peace.
Inside, warm wood paneling, plush leather chairs, and tasteful animal fur accents create a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Ananda is perfect for slowing down and soaking in the forest serenity.
Spend your evenings sinking into Ananda’s soft king-sized bed. Add our Breakfast in Bed package to your booking and wake up to a slow, cozy morning in the treetops—breakfast delivered right to your door.
Perched twenty-five feet above the forest floor and overlooking a steep drop into the fern-covered forest, Ananda is as breathtaking as it is unique. Despite its height, it’s also Washington State’s first ADA-accessible commercial treehouse. A long, gentle ramp leads to the deck, and the interior amenities are thoughtfully designed for accessibility.
Spend your evenings at Ananda warm by the fireplace or outside listening to the Raging River run through the forest below. Book your stay in Ananda here.
Now you’ve met the “Big Four” treehouses! From the iconic Temple of the Blue Moon to our belvedere Trillium, sweetheart Burl, and opulent Ananda—which one would you stay in first?

February in the treehouse forest is especially whimsical, with rainy evenings spent high in the branches, the soft patter of raindrops on the roof, and cozy blankets to curl up under.
Even without extra amenities, evenings spent high in the branches of our old-growth forest are utterly enchanting. But if you’re dreaming of making your stay feel even more magical, we’ve got you covered.
Here are five thoughtful ways to elevate your romantic getaway in the trees.

1. Book a Stay in our romantic LoveBomb.
While it’s the season of love, there’s only one kind of “LoveBombing” we approve of—and that’s our newest accommodation, the LoveBomb, added to Treehouse Point in 2024. Designed for intimacy and connection, this 60s-inspired retreat is actually an upcycled army truck turned retro love shack, perfect for couples looking to cozy up in style.
Our carpenters at Nelson Treehouse and Supply had a blast bringing the LoveBomb to life, including the artistic shingles—nicknamed swingles for their sweeping, swooping design. Truly, LoveBomb isn’t just a place to stay; it’s a piece of art you can sleep in.
Book the LoveBomb, or one of our other unique accommodations, here!
2. Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
The second option on this list is one of our favorites! Our pastry chef, Caleb, created these decadent chocolate-covered strawberries one afternoon as our team was brainstorming romantic treats, and we’ve been obsessed with them ever since.
Now, these indulgent sweets can be yours. Add our Sparkles and Strawberries Package to your booking at check out to experience an evening with six house-made chocolate-covered strawberries, each with unique designs and toppings, a bottle of chilled premium champagne, and rose petals on the bed to set the mood.
3. Romantic Truffles in the Trees
Another delicious way to elevate your stay is with our Romantic Retreat Package. This sweetheart package sets the scene for an intimate night in the trees with rose petals scattered across the bed, a bottle of prosecco or wine for two, artisan truffles, and a morning mimosa the next day—everything you need for an unforgettable escape in the trees.
If you prefer to skip the spirits, we also offer Noughty in the Trees. This non-alcoholic option includes a chilled bottle of Noughty Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Rosé, paired with a sleeve of five locally made artisan chocolates.
4. Charcuterie in your Treehouse
For those who lean a bit more savory, this one’s a crowd-pleaser. Our handcrafted charcuterie board is artfully arranged with a curated selection of seasonal fruit, artisanal cheese, and local meats and crackers. Vegetarian options are available upon request.
We recommend adding a bottle from our premium wine selection as a simple way to elevate this experience and compliment the flavors of the board.
5. Breakfast in Bed
Once you stay in a treehouse, you’ll never want to leave. This universal sentiment among our guests is exactly why we began offering a Breakfast in Bed Package at Treehouse Point! Stay snuggled in your treehouse as our staff curates a delicious tray made by our in-house chefs, and deliver it to your door.
Prefer to wander down to the Lodge? Breakfast is also served there each morning from 8:30am to 10:00am.
