TZR’s readers have spoken, and their favorite Treehouse Stays of 2026 are:

1. TreeHouse Point

Issaquah, WA

What TZR readers love about TreeHouse Point:

  • A TOTAL masterclass in PNW craftsmanship! Pete Nelson’s storied treehouses blend into the mossy canopy with such thoughtful, moody detail.
  • The ultimate forest hideout, complete with outdoor showers. I love shutting off the world to listen to the Raging River from my cozy, suspended nest.
  • Outstanding hospitality and hearty breakfasts—often served right in bed! It’s an atmospheric, adult-only retreat that truly recharged us!

  • Floored by the minimal, Scandi-chic decor! This sleek, futuristic cabin is an architectural marvel that just hits a different note.
  • From the bespoke siding to the perfect espresso, every detail is expertly handled. This elevated, high-end dream gets a 💯!
  • A quiet, zen escape that truly makes the land the star. Sleeping amongst the trees is pure peace.

What TZR readers love most about Treehouse Utopia:
