The Cedar Creek Tree house at Mount Rainier is not for the faint of heart. However, when i came across this Earth-friendly cabin retreat i said to myself: One day, i too will sleep 50 feet up in a 200-year old giant Western Red Cedar tree…
Make your way across an 80-foot-long suspension footbridge through a rain forest of cedars and evergreens only to ascend a five-story stairwell. What a fine starting point to reach this mountain retreat which includes 12-volt electric lights, water, a gas stove, an icebox and sink in the kitchen, and a toilet and wash basin in the bathroom. And if that’s not enough, completing this tree house resort is a treehouse observatory with spectacular mountain views 100 feet high in a nearby fir tree.
To reach the treehouse observatory you first need to ascend the “Stairway to Heaven”, an 80-foot spiral staircase around a Douglas fir tree, only to walk across the “Rainbow Bridge” walkway that connects to the treehouse observatory 43 feet away.
