Cedar Creek Treehouse

Ashford, Washington

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!

Rolling Huts

Winthrop, Washington

Glampers up for architecturally cool interpretations of huts can bunk up in Rolling Huts' self-dubbed "herd" of six in the Methow Valley, roughly a four- to five-hour drive from Seattle. Designed by Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects, each hut charms like it was meant for a spread in glossy magazine or as a prototype for eco-living in the not-so-distant future. Fresh wood interiors, modular furniture and seemingly floating ceilings also amp up the modern factor.

Creature comforts include refrigerators, microwaves, fireplaces and Wi-Fi. As for the loos, each hut has its own portable toilet, but showers and additional restrooms are housed in the property's barn.
