Treehouse Rentals in Oregon: The 11 Best Places to Book Your Next Stay

Treehouses are cool. It’s just a fact. And any excuse to spend a night in one? Well, that’s totally fine with us.

Throw in Oregon’s picturesque coastline, epic national parks, prominent mountains with world renowned skiing, serene hiking and horseback riding trails in every direction, and inviting small towns, and you have no excuse for not making it to one of Oregon’s 11 best treehouses. Especially when you take a closer look at the evolution of treehouses in recent years, these are no longer those basic structures you built in your backyard as a kid. They’ve become so much more. Today, saying you’re going to spend the night in a treehouse has taken on a whole new meaning.

With touches that range from modern to rustic, from being perched lakeside to nestled on a mountaintop, from sleeping two to six, with a sauna, firepit, hot tub, or zip line, no matter what you thought a treehouse could or should look like, the reality is that they are so much better than you could ever even imagine. And it’s not just in Oregon where sleeping in the trees has taken off. We think these treehouse vacation rentals across the U.S. are also pretty great. (If you prefer to stay in the NW, check out these Washington treehouse vacation rentals.)

But, all of this makes us wonder, what is it about sleeping in the trees that makes our adventure-loving hearts skip a beat?

Maybe it’s because living near trees is literally good for our health. Or that they help reduce stress and increase an individual’s propensity to exercise? Between the health benefits and the possibility for adventure in Oregon, a stay in the trees in the PNW promises to be anything but boring.

You name the adventure, and Oregon practically does it better than anyone else. Head to Mt. Hood if it’s one of your first trips to the Beaver State. Or, venture deeper into Central or Eastern Oregon to avoid the crowds. The best thing about staying in Oregon is that you don’t need to plan your every move. The potential to explore is always around you.

And, when your temporary home is an Oregon treehouse as incredible as one of these 11, the adventure begins when you check-in.

Portland, OR — Wald House PDX

Vibe: Made for a Magazine

If there were ever a treehouse we wish we could turn into our full-time abode, this would be it. The Wald House was built in 1979 just outside of Portland in the Tualatin Mountains and is the perfect spot for anyone needing to get their creative juices flowing. With a beautifully curated interior, there isn’t one detail the owners/designers behind the Wald House missed, down to the locally roasted coffee beans. With two bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and a spacious back deck, there’s enough room inside (and out) to come with friends and still find your own space to get lost in your own rabbit hole of inspiration.

Lakeside, OR — Cabin in the Trees on the Lake

Vibe: Reel ‘em In

While the Cabin in the Trees' interior is a bit more basic than others on this list, the location on Tenmile Lakes and the boat access it offers make it a magical treehouse retreat we couldn’t resist. Especially since you can arrive by boat via the North Lake Canal that connects the North and South Tenmile Lakes. Pack a cooler and your fishing gear, as the largest and southernmost lake along the Oregon Coast south of the Umpqua River, Tenmile Lakes, is one of the best spots in Oregon for bass fishing.

Tiller, OR — Summit Prairie Lookout Tower

Vibe: Stairway to Heaven

Deep within Umpqua National Forest, the Summit Prairie Lookout Tower has been high on the list of nature-lovers and adventurers for years—which means getting one of the 65 reservations available each season can be difficult. Open from late March to mid-November, the tower sits 40 feet in the air up a wooden spiral staircase, and is surrounded by 160 acres of private land. Built in 2009, this is the best way to recreate those fire tower vibes the US Forest Service used dating back to the early 1900s. With a full kitchen (stove, refrigerator), running hot water, an outside shower, a pit toilet 100 feet from the tower, and all the views and stargazing you can handle, this off-grid fire tower is a place to find peace, quiet, and so much more.

Langlois, OR — Heartland Treehouse

Vibe: Camping in the Trees

With side by side outdoor soaking hot tubs, enough outdoor patio space to spend as much or as little time outside as you want, and a clean and minimal sleeping area inside, this is camping, but in the best kind of way. Pack everything you need with you and do your best to check in at this glamping treehouse before sunset—you won’t want to miss a second in this peaceful space in the trees.

Cave Junction, OR — The TokinTree

Vibe: Bud and Breakfast

What was that? A 420-friendly treehouse resort in Southern Oregon, set 35-feet off the ground that comes with cannabis as part of the included amenities and on a working cannabis farm? Yep, that’s right.

Sandy, OR — Izer Treehouse

Vibe: The Air is Cleaner Up Here

Overlooking the Bull Run River Canyon (great for kayaking and rafting) on the steps of Mt. Hood, the Izer Treehouse is perfect for adventure seekers looking f or a secluded getaway in the treetops. Spend the night 30 feet off the ground, where the energy is just different (it’s a fact), and the birds-eye view will give you a new perspective on things. This is a place to stop, relax, and breathe in the fresh canyon air. Without a TV or Wi-Fi, take time to settle into life in an elevated living room, where power is only available for 7 hours a day, and your compost toilet comes with views through beautiful stained glass doors.
