The “Big Four” Treehouses: Iconic Guest Favorites
Escape to a bed and breakfast full of whimsy, evergreens, and treehouses! If you’re looking for an intimate, one-of-a-kind getaway this year, look no further than our quaint bed and breakfast, located at the edge of the Raging River in Issaquah, Washington.
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.

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?
