This place is truly unique! We stayed over the holiday break and enjoyed the phenomenal views, the gorgeous beach and the quiet island lifestyle. Hope to visit again!
Very relaxing location. Kitchen and rooms were well stocked with supplies and extra linens. Our dog is older and needed to be carried down steps to the main house but no problem because she’s small. We would stay here again!
Truly lovely, quiet spot. Host very responsive. I've never used a composting toilet before, but had no problems. However, it was a little disconcerting to have to go outside (very brief walk to the bath house) to use the restroom in the middle of the night.
Thanks for a wonderful stay!
We stayed at the treehouse for our last few days of spring break. This is such a special property. The weather was great, so we spent a lot of time at the beach. Would definitely recommend!
Location was perfect. The tree house was charming, with a great little beach front area. Well stocked kitchen, loads of pillows and blankets, and plenty of space. If you are arriving at night, you will need a flashlight and a sense of adventure as there is no signage and it is a bit of a walk from parking. The sleeping accommodations didn't end up being ideal for a girls get-a-way (main bed was good but an adult can't stand up in the loft and the futon was uncomfortable) however several of my friends plan to go back with their families. Highly recommend for those with children! Thank you for a fun weekend!
We celebrated my son’s 40th birthday at the tree house. There were many places for us to spread out and we were drawn to the outside with the beautiful weather. It was a memorable family gathering. Thanks for sharing your place with our family.
We had a wonderful relaxing time at the treehouse. We came to get away from city life and it was quiet and peaceful. It had a great view of the water, tucked right up in the evergreens! We will be back again!
Even better than the listing for people who like nature.
Beautiful location with big tree along the 2 balconies. The whole place was great but we really loved the waterfront. A seal came up to peak at us!
Perfect for relaxing and getting to anything on Vashon isn't too big a trip.
The treehouse is really special, perfect for adults or adults with children. Lots of treasures and wonders to explore in the tree house and on the beach. Great communication with the owner. Thanks!
Beautiful property overlooking water. It consists of multiple levels with different rooms. Main area has a comfortable tv room. The kitchen is completely functional and very cute!
You go outside and up steps to get to the bedroom and loft area. All the beds were very comfortable! The compost toilet took a little to get used to, understandable for a house in the trees.
This is our second time returning to this gem. A wonderfully quiet hide away with breath taking views. The place is very rustic and charming with an easy check in process. The cleanliness could be improved but other than that, a wonderful get-away!
This is our second time staying at The Treehouse! Our daughter came home to Seattle from college in San Diego and wanted a PNW weekend and we thought Vashon was the perfect choice. She wanted the rain and clouds and we had a blast down by the fire pit by the sound and cooked salmon (and popped popcorn!) on the grill.
I love this place because it stirs the creative inside and gently encourages to unplug.
Thanks so much for making it a memorable weekend!
We really enjoyed the unique experience of being able to stay in the treehouse. Amenities we as described and one should think "a bit of glamping" when heading to this destination so as to only experience pleasant surprises around every corner. We had 5 total in our crew and fit comfortably. Really loved experiencing this little treasure and the property owner/manager was extremely friendly and helpful when needed! Its a treasure we surely enjoyed!
Was hoping to find an experience that gave my friends from Indiana an idea of some of the best of the PNW and I sure did succeed! We loved the canoeing, the water was very manageable. The house was so comfortable, so creatively designed!
Honestly we had no idea what to expect for our first time in a tree house. It was truly exceptional.

About the host
Hosted by Jean-David Larson
We live across the road from this property and are happy to help! We are a family with two young kids and chose Vashon Island for the seclusion, quality of life, and the amazing community, including schools. We are Seattle-Vashon footferry commuters and can attest to the fact that it is the best commute in the area, if not in the US. This is a perfect place to call home for the weekend, week, or longer!
