Cedar Creek Treehouse
at Mount Rainier

Imagine having your own state park for a weekend, with a clear mountain stream flowing by your cabin -- except that your cabin is 50 feet up in a giant cedar tree
with a view seen only by the birds!
You're living in the tree canopies of a lush temperate rainforest ... you can see for miles ... a great blue heron glides silently over the rushing creek far below ... the sun splashes through a skylight and illuminates a mammoth tree trunk growing straight up through the floor of your kitchen and disappearing through the ceiling!

If this visualization interests you, then you probably

Have a spirit of adventure,
Have a healthy appreciation of fantasy,
Desire more than the mundane and commonplace,
Enjoyed the stories of Jack and the Beanstalk and Alice Through the Looking Glass, and
Yearn to re-experience that all too often lost sense of child-like awe and wonder!

Welcome to the Cedar Creek Treehouse! You're the kind of person we're looking for!

Cedar Creek Treehouse is an Earth-friendly, privately owned and operated mountain retreat, located one mile as the crow flies, 10 miles by car, from the Nisqually River Entrance to Mount Rainier National Park, and bordering the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. We offer unique treehouse vacation rental lodging with this "bed and breakfast" cottage 50 feet up in a 200-year old Western Red Cedar tree. And with the new addition of our Treehouse Observatory (and its "Stairway to Heaven" access) -- giving you spectacular mountain views 100 feet high in a nearby fir tree -- we are redefining the concept of a treehouse resort.
