A Memorable Family Vacation In A Kids Playhouse
When is a kids playhouse not a playhouse for kids? It’s when the playhouse is nestled in the forest canopy and where adults and family members come to unplug and get away from the daily grind, work-related stresses, and general overwhelm to experience a magnificent outdoors adventure in a truly memorable way.
Don’t be fooled, playhouses and treehouses are not only for children. A unique get-away experience at a tree resort is something that adults and family members can look forward to and enjoy. For adults or families that are looking for a once-in-a-lifetime outdoor experience, several treehouse resorts can help out in this area.
These tree house resorts move beyond the generalization of the Swiss Family Robinson. These tree houses don’t require you to rough it, which most families will appreciate, while enjoying a tranquil and rustic outdoors adventure.
If you are in Oregon or Washington, there are three treehouse resorts that you should check out. Two are in the area of Cave Junction, Oregon and the third is located near Mount Rainier, in central Washington. With ten different tree houses, the first tree house resort is the Out’n'About Treesort. The tree houses range from small and cozy to almost grandiose with a treehouse suite including a kitchenette.
There is a family complex of two tree houses where the kids and parent tree houses are connected by a swinging bridge. There also is a two-story tree house with an observation deck. All family members can use the observation tower for a variety of activities: creative kids play, admiring the forested moutain view, or bird watching. There’s plenty of excitement and uniqueness in getting around the resort by using suspension bridges, “Tarzan swings”, and ziplines.
Vertical Horizons Treehouse Pardise has a variety of tree houses to fit the needs of the outdoor adventure seeker. There are tree house choices from rustic, enchanted (The Shiitake), and elegant (The Calypso).
Nestled in a 200-year old red cedar forest of central Washington, the last tree house resort is Cedar Creek Treehouse. It is luxurious and upscale . A five-story staircase winds upward to an incredible treehouse atop the forest canopy. A kitchen, refrigerator and a bathroom are part of the tree house amenities. From the top of the tree house, one has an awe-inspiring view of the Sawtooth Ridge Peaks and Osborne Mountain. In this tree house setting, it’s a perfect place and setting to connect to nature and get away from civilization.
Although technically a treehouse is not a kids playhouse, it will surely capture the imagination of your children and encourage family interactions with each other and with nature making for an enriching, positive and extremely memorable vacation.
