Wanna fulfill your inner child's dream of living in a treehouse?

I've got the perfect fall escape for you where you get to get cozy,

relax in nature, sit by the fireplace and eat delicious food.

Just 10 minutes of a gorgeous drive away from Issaquah,

Treehouse Point is a woodsy bed and breakfast with seven gorgeous

treehouses to choose from - each with its own charm.

We checked into “Temple of the blue moon” treehouse which has a

small bridge leading up to the front door and has the coziest interior.

The room had a cute reading nook and a cozy bed

as well as a beautiful balcony with sweeping views of the forest.

we went to the lodge where they have a huge collection of games to choose from

so we spend the night enjoying bananagrams and puzzles

and look at these cute ducks! As it got cold,

we lit the fireplace and enjoyed the cutely packed s’more kits provided. 

marshmallow but they were absolutely delicious.

We really thought nothing could be better than waking up in a treehouse

until we followed it up with some delicious hot homemade breakfast.

No, seriously, I could live my whole life off of the

homemade granola. After a hearty breakfast and a nice hot shower,

we decided to check out the snoqalmie falls just a short drive away.

The view was breathtaking and it was amazing to see the falls so up close. 

we decided to have a picnic at the treehouses which we devoured in about 10 minutes.

One of my favorite activities there was to feed the fishes.

There were so many trouts that were so hungry and just beautiful to look at.

After this, we took a short walk down to the river.

The sound of water rushing by was instantly calming

and the fall foliage was simply ethereal.

The colors were so vivid that we got our paintbrushes out and got to work.

We ended up spending hours by the water just watching the leaves

fall and painting away to wrap up this already wonderful day.

We sat by the community fire pit roasting marshmallows and making some more s’mores 😂

I honestly cannot recommend this beautiful oasis enough.

The video doesn't even come close to describing the mystical,

wonderful feeling in person and I can't wait to visit again.

• Make sure you arrive early! You need enough time to make your way through the zoo and to the aquarium by the time your booking starts!⏰
• You will absolutely need a change of clothes! We wore sweatpants and a sweatshirt to the zoo (no hoods!). You’re given a dry suit to wear over that, but water seeped through mine, and I was pretty damp by the end. 😩
• The hardest part for me was getting used to the oxygen line. Once it’s time to go, the staff help you get in quickly, so you can enjoy the most amount of time in the water. I ended up popping back up for a moment and taking a few breaths above the surface to get used to breathing through the line before going under. 😮‍💨
• The water isn’t bad at all! If you get cold easily, consider one more layer! 💦
• You’re underwater for about 20 minutes! The entire experience is about an hour, including a briefing before and after! 🐠🐟

Head underwater! 🤿

Get a deep sea experience right in your own backyard.

This is the eye to eye shark dive at the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma.

You submerge right into a shark tank and get

up close and personal with these incredible creatures.

I had zero scuba experience before doing this.

You're given step by step instructions and information about the

types of sharks and other fish in the tank with you

The sharks will come within inches of the bars if you stay still.

There's a diver from the aquarium in the water with you,

and there are giant bars to keep you separated.

I really recommend it for anyone interested in getting over their fear of jaws.
