TreeHouse Point — Hotel in Snoqualmie

Treehouse Point is a magical, beautiful tree house heaven where your dreams come true. As a child, I have always wanted a tree house and use to love playing beneath the trees. For two nights, we got to have our own tree house, the "Nest" which has a bird theme and is tucked close to a waterfall and surrounded by trees. The Nest has: Queen bed Two sitting chairs and a small table Balcony with two reclining chairs and two tables; no roof but the abundance of leaves protected me from the gentle rain Nespresso espresso maker, hot water kettle, Nespresso pods, liquid creamers, sweeteners, the Nespresso water container filled with water, a separate water container, mugs, glasses, towels, fresh flowers, and even a surprise on the table -Heat and air conditioning You can use the bigger two shared bathrooms which have showers with soap, bath gel, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, heat or a fun outdoor shower. The Nest has its own private bathroom with a flush toilet with a sink above the toilet bowl, so when you flush, the water comes out to wash your hands and the soapy water is used to fill the tank for the next use. It located to the left of the Nest front door, 2 steps down. A wall is between the road, so you can sit with the bathroom door open if you choose, since it blocks the view from the path and enjoy the nature of trees while you do answer the call of nature. It has heat and lights too.

For check-in, you will receive a text around 3:30 pm with the gate PIN code and your treehouse PIN code and you can go directly to your treehouse.

Treehouse Point has moss covered, tall trees, gravel paths, and branch railing bridges. It is a relaxing, Zen like place to walk around or take a little stroll down to the River where there are thoughtfully placed chairs for you.

The lodge has a microwave, refrigerator, and water cooler for hot or cold water and area you can get more Nespresso pods or teas, free microwave popcorn, and S'more containers if you want to make your own fire outside or in the lodge fireplace. They also sell beer, wine, and other drinks in the lodge.

The breakfast is gourmet and delicious with fresh scrambled eggs and cheese, and fancy donuts, muffins or breakfast bread, fresh fruit, yogurt. It is served 8:30 am - 10:00 am. You can bring a plate (or I brought my own container) to carry it back to my treehouse balcony. There are also plenty of tables inside and outside the lodge.

The pond near the treehouses has well fed rainbow trout that you can feed for free. The container is on the left corner of the deck.

Everyone was very friendly and nice. I enjoyed talking with Kari who was one of the ladies who made breakfast and the delicious treats that come in the towel baskets that you can pick up at the lodge on your second day. Where else in the world can you strike up a conversation with a fellow guest and have them invite you to see their treehouse?

I got to see the "Upper Pond" which is the only treehouse that can sleep 4 people (2 in the queen downstairs and two in the loft bunk beds) and it has a compostable toilet (scoop some material over) and a covered deck.

Bonbibi - a smaller treehouse with a sitting area on a deck beneath the treehouse. Closest to the shared bathroom.

Ananda - an ADA accessible treehouse with ramps and steps up to the door. A spacious bathroom with a flush toilet and sink. Wrap around deck with several chairs facing the river. A truly luxurious experience with sounds of the river.

You can also schedule a 60 or 90 minute massage with Michelle Gray, contact Treehouse Point to get her contact information. I had a most wonderful massage upstairs in the Pond room with the warm breeze flowing through the windows.

Tips: It is best to bring a small suitcase, since you will be pulling your suitcase on the gravel pathway and up steps to the treehouse, unless you are in the Ananda. You may want to bring your art supplies to draw a picture in the guest book in each treehouse. For lunch or dinner, you will need to go to a restaurant or...

If you delete this again, we will escalate things. We have the rest of our lives.

GOTT-SUNG WEDDING 8.28.22 Groom’s Review

Hi Paige!

I wanted to thank you for an incredible experience at a magical venue. We share a unique love for architecture, nature, and people of good nature.

The moment I arrived at my Wedding Day I was greeted with coldness and hostility. This was unacceptable. I felt like a chicken with my head cut off for a period of about 30 minutes when I had one million things that needed my close attention. Please don’t do this to another groom one day, no matter what they do. The day was absolutely perfect and this experience made it even better because it helped me develop more of a protective cloak for Rachel. She says that she mentioned to you that our dog is an Emotional Support animal (not service animal which is different, details matter) and I believe her. Thank you for clearing this up afterwards. You were so incredibly helpful after this.

The following morning we were greeted again with rudeness and hostility by several people on site. I do not care what single-person-tour was scheduled at 10am. That was Treehouse Point’s Scheduling Fiasco. I don’t care who they were. I don’t. My family is from Kentucky and Rachel’s family is from the region of China. We are now familiar with the Seattle Freeze. We did not trash the place or party too hard (no such thing at a wedding). We were as respectful as humanly possible. Literally. Not too sure what their beef was. They don’t seem to like their job and need to go elsewhere. Please. Treehouse Point doesn’t deserve this treatment.

There were, however, two loving and helpful individuals, I don’t remember their names, but one was older helping with the breakfast and one was younger helping with exit coordination. They know who they are. Please find these individuals and do your best to keep them around. They are my favorite people in your organization. (Aside from the team of treehouse designers and builders, of course)

I would suggest a staff meeting with the top level staff and bring this to their attention. I have a strong gut feeling it might be a top down issue, but that’s not for me to worry about.

I would also recommend having more of a buffer for the exit. If a group of 80 people, coming from all over the world, decide to throw a party in the woods, you should not expect them to have a prompt exit strategy. 95% of us were gone by 11:20 AM and the remaining 5% were NASTILY pushed out. We were happily cleaning up and leaving. The nastiness did not change anything, other than our feelings. It did not help us move quicker. Rachel and I were the last ones to leave at 11:57 AM.

Please use this as a Case Study for future BIG TIME events. And yes, I sure do understand the mentality of the owner. There should be exceptions.

We look forward to coming back as respectful guests one day. Hopefully with our future children. What a magical place.

Please, Do not apologize or respond; We can only live well without regret!

If anyone reading this has an event here. We highly recommend Luma Photography. Kyle and his wife could not have been more professional and delightful to work with throughout the event.

We also recommend Blue Wave for music! And On Safari Foods for catering. They received the most praise from the guests for their delish food and hospitality. And everyone clearly loved the music.

Treehouse Point should look to these three for all hospitality advice on BIG TIME events. I’m giving this place a one-star review because it is the lowest possible option. This comes from a place of caring. This might not be the right place for you if you go hard in the paint (respectfully, of course).

Thank...

The website has conflicting information about the newest house, Ananda, so here is a complete description. The original was too large so this has been shortened - see TripAdvisor for the FULL description.

Ananda house has three rooms: a bathroom, a living room, and a bedroom. The total size is about 50% larger than a typical hotel room. It has running water, including two sinks and a normal flush toilet. The room comes with a coffee maker, a tea kettle, and a large bottle of water (which I'm pretty sure is bottled tap water, which is pointless for this house).

Contrary to literally all the information on the website, it also comes with a small fridge. However it's barely cooler than room temperature (I believe it's a thermoelectric fridge), so I'm not sure how useful it'd be. The website says there's an ice box, but I couldn't find one. The fridge has a loud fan - it's much louder than our fridge at home, despite not having a compressor. I couldn't find any way to turn it off. I'd say it's about as loud as a normal box-fan on 'high'.

The living room has a mini-split, which doubles as both the heater and cooler. It worked well, heating the entire house in the morning and cooling it during the day quickly. It's actually slightly quieter than the fridge when running. There's also a (gas??) fireplace-stove in the corner of the living room, but we couldn't figure out how to work it.

The living room also has two moderately comfy chairs, with a single reading light. There's enough other lights that both people can read at night. There are plenty of electrical outlets around the house for charging things. We both had cell phone service (Verizon). There are two trees DIRECTLY outside the windows of the bedroom.

The only truly bad part of the experience, for me, was the bed. The bed uses a hard memory-foam mattress. Memory foam has a tendency to collapse under enough weight after several months of use. My wife, who normally doesn't like hard beds, thought it was extremely comfy, but since I'm a much larger guy, the foam collapsed for me, leading to EXTREME back pain after the first night. The second night I figured out I could sleep on a pile of pillows, which made it somewhat better, but still not great. This is the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5.

The treehouses are a LOT closer together than the website makes it seem. The closest treehouse is Burl, about 100 feet away, and the farthest treehouse is probably about 300-400 feet away. However the locations are designed so that you can't see into each others' windows, so privacy isn't an issue as long as you keep the windows closed when you're making lots of noise.

The treehouses form a circle around the central bathrooms. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are provided in the showers.

For handicap accessibility, I think only three of the treehouses appeared to be accessible to wheelchairs: Ananda, Burl, and Temple of the Blue Moon. The Ananda toilet had one of those metal bars to support yourself, but the shared bathrooms did not. There was a small bump getting into the showers which looked like it would be annoying, but the shower-heads were the handicap kind that can be picked up and moved around. There's lots of stone pathways so be ready for that.

Overall, aside from the bed we both really enjoyed the experience. I highly recommend this as a romantic getaway...
