Treehouses are cool. It’s just a fact. And any excuse to spend a night in one? Well, that’s totally fine with us.
Throw in Oregon’s picturesque coastline, epic national parks, prominent mountains with world renowned skiing, serene hiking and horseback riding trails in every direction, and inviting small towns, and you have no excuse for not making it to one of Oregon’s 11 best treehouses. Especially when you take a closer look at the evolution of treehouses in recent years, these are no longer those basic structures you built in your backyard as a kid. They’ve become so much more. Today, saying you’re going to spend the night in a treehouse has taken on a whole new meaning.
With touches that range from modern to rustic, from being perched lakeside to nestled on a mountaintop, from sleeping two to six, with a sauna, firepit, hot tub, or zip line, no matter what you thought a treehouse could or should look like, the reality is that they are so much better than you could ever even imagine. And it’s not just in Oregon where sleeping in the trees has taken off. We think these treehouse vacation rentals across the U.S. are also pretty great. (If you prefer to stay in the NW, check out these Washington treehouse vacation rentals.)
But, all of this makes us wonder, what is it about sleeping in the trees that makes our adventure-loving hearts skip a beat?
Maybe it’s because living near trees is literally good for our health. Or that they help reduce stress and increase an individual’s propensity to exercise? Between the health benefits and the possibility for adventure in Oregon, a stay in the trees in the PNW promises to be anything but boring.
You name the adventure, and Oregon practically does it better than anyone else. Head to Mt. Hood if it’s one of your first trips to the Beaver State. Or, venture deeper into Central or Eastern Oregon to avoid the crowds. The best thing about staying in Oregon is that you don’t need to plan your every move. The potential to explore is always around you.
And, when your temporary home is an Oregon treehouse as incredible as one of these 11, the adventure begins when you check-in.
