Introduction to the Incredible Treehouse

The most recent treehouse build by Nelson Treehouse is breathtaking. Treehouses have a way of bringing you back to your childhood, a time when things were stress and worry-free. This latest treehouse cabin building by Nelson Treehouse in Fall City, Washington takes treehouse living to a whole new level. This stunning treehouse cabin building is located in Washington's San Juan Islands where it beautifully blends modern and rustic treehouse design and includes features like a ship's ladder, fire pole, and suspension bridge.

Design Features and Scenic Views

This San Juan treehouse sits 17 feet above the forest floor in a grove of Douglas firs. The suspension bridge in the cabin building runs from the main treehouse cabin to a satellite viewing platform. The treehouse has weathered steel siding that contrasts nicely with the warm cedar siding. The cabin has a staircase that leads to the deck, stopping at a mid-way platform that is supported by one tree and a couple of posts. Some of the features include Cot-Ten siding, plenty of windows, horizontal lines, and a shed roof that add a modern flair. The outdoor deck wraps almost all the way around the treehouse cabin, giving scenic views of the forest. One of the host trees in the cabin greets visitors when they arrive at the front door.

Interior Space and Aesthetic

The treehouse building has 415 square feet of space which include the loft. Natural light streams in through the sliding glass doors and the many windows. The walls in the cabin are paneled with honey-colored reclaimed fir paneling. A walnut slab of wood is used to top the built-in bar. A classic ship's ladder leads up to the sleeping loft. All of the wood and exposed beams in the cabin building add a rustic touch and compliment the treehouse's modern aesthetic. Inside the cabin is a fire pole that makes for a fun descent from the outdoor deck. The deck opens to the suspension bridge. Diamond yokes and steel knee braces are used to provide rock-solid support for this stunning treehouse.
