Inspired by their own travels and a shared love for nature, this Portland-based couple designed and built the Klickitat Treehouse in the wilds of Washington state to share with fellow lovers of good design and the great outdoors.
Though owners Taryn and Colin Mooney drew inspiration from the many spaces they've stayed in while adventuring together over the years, they knew their first hospitality project would need to be unique—so they looked to the trees. Past experience learning and building treehouses back in Colin's home state of Ohio—where his family runs a treehouse resort and wedding venue, built in 2012 with the aid of Treehouse Master’s Pete Nelson—came in handy as the two set about designing their own treehouse rental near the mighty Columbia River just north of Oregon/Washington border.
