Klickitat Treehouse Magic in White Salmon

Have you canceled vacations?  Feeling stuck in a routine?  Bring on some magic into your life.  Sway to sleep high up in a tree canopy eye-level with stars, the moon, and a snow-peaked mountain.

Taryn and Colin Mooney envisioned this magic when they purchased 16 forested acres to bring their treehouse dream to life. “The hilly terrain made it challenging for conventional buildings, but we only saw the potential for trails and special spaces built into the canopy. It felt so magical; this had to be the place,” said Taryn.

The Magic Starts at the Driveway

Just 10 minutes from White Salmon, you enter the Klickitat Treehouse forested driveway and you will find yourself slowing down to listen to the birds and take-in the forest.

As the treehouse came into view, we noticed lots of movement and rustling down by the firepit.  More than 10 wild turkeys were walking through the firepit area one by one!  We breathed in the forest air deeply and took in all the nature surrounding the treehouse.  Life has felt stressful and uncertain-this is just what we needed.

Glamping?  Nope – 5 Star Luxury

We backpack, camp, and glamp.  But we have never had a 5-star experience in the wilderness.  The attention to detail, quality, and style surround you.  You will find yourself dining with beautifully hand-crafted ceramic dinnerware, sleeping on a locally-made mattress, and relaxing into the softness of high-quality sheets.

With a full kitchen and White Salmon as a base-camp, we had tasty meals.  The drawer refrigerator was brilliant and fit our beer from Everybody’s Brewing and take-out from Feast perfectly!

World-Class Recreation Surrounds You

Whether you love to mountain bike, hike, or kite, White Salmon has you covered.  Just minutes from the Klickitat Treehouse, we enjoyed miles of flowy mountain biking with beautiful views.

If you are feeling chill, the hikes around the treehouse property are perfect!

The Word is Out – Book Now

The Klickitat Treehouse started taking reservations on March 24th, and Taryn & Colin are already Superhosts on Airbnb with a 4.98 rating at 44 reviews.  With almost every weekend booked for 2020, reserve your vacation now for 2021.  Or, grab a couple of midweek openings for this fall.

If a weekend this fall is what you need, stay at the Cedar Shack, their hand-built tiny house on the same property.

They even have a beautiful platform built if you are looking for a small intimate gathering venue this fall.

I pulled a couple of the reviews from Airbnb to share with you:

Solitude.  No blinds needed on the windows kind of solitude.

Fantastic Views

You can tell this treehouse is a work of art and love.  If you are looking to feel nature, you will.

The air inside and outside is so wonderful to breathe. The space is very inspiring for reflection and for helping you to focus on what is important. It’s remote enough that you can stay put and explore and not interact with anyone else, but close enough to White Salmon and Hood River if you are anxious to get out an interact.

Staying at this treehouse was like a dream. Waking up to the view of Mt. Adams and the wildlife all around us brought us so much joy and peace. We loved the interior design and the quality of all the furniture and appliances. This was a romantic getaway and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect, unique experience!

We were instantly charmed by The Klickitat Treehouse! Taryn and Colin have crafted a truly unique experience. To live within and surrounded by the trees is pure magic. We fell asleep to the sounds of the forest and woke to a picturesque view of Mt. Adams out our window. We were happy to spend the entire day cozied up inside, admiring the thoughtfully designed home. Stylish simplicity with the emphasis of nature in mind. The kitchen is curated and equipped with everything you need to cook a great dinner. The open interiors capture the stunning natural beauty of the surrounding forest. Quick communication, clear instructions and great proximity to White Salmon and Hood River. Highly recommend, we will be back!

We will also be back for more starry nights. Book Your Stay!

White Salmon has a NEW mural, and this one tells a White Salmon has a NEW mural, and this one tells a story of community, creativity, and connection!

What makes this mural extra special? It all started with the imaginations of local students! 

White Salmon middle and high school students were invited to share their ideas and artwork inspired by health, wellness, and community. Their creativity helped shape the vision for this beautiful new addition to White Salmon!

From there, the team at Community Roots Wellness Hub collaborated with talented muralist Nancy Guzman, who brought those ideas to life through a thoughtful creative process.

The result is a colorful celebration of what makes our small town so special—people coming together, sharing ideas, and creating something meaningful for everyone to enjoy.

🌿 A big thank you to Community Roots Wellness Hub, Nancy Guzman, and all the students, educators, and community members who helped make this possible!

Harvest has officially wrapped up in the Columbia Harvest has officially wrapped up in the Columbia Gorge, but wine tasting season is far from over!

Fall is one of the most beautiful times to explore Gorge wine country, where golden vineyards, dramatic landscapes, cozy tasting rooms, and incredible wines make for the perfect autumn getaway!

A few fun facts about the Columbia Gorge AVA—the westernmost appellation in eastern Washington and perhaps the most diverse winegrowing region in the state 👇🏻

Named for the spectacular stretch of the Columbia River that cuts through ancient basalt bedrock, creating towering cliffs and dramatic ridgelines, this unique wine region spans both Washington and Oregon.

What makes it so special? The incredible diversity of climate, soils, and elevation, with dramatic changes in rainfall and temperature as you travel from west to east.
To the west, cooler, wetter conditions favor Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Head east and the landscape transforms into warmer, drier terrain, ideal for bold reds and Rhône varieties.
Some vineyards are even planted on the slopes of an extinct volcano!

Established in 2004, the Columbia Gorge AVA encompasses approximately 191,000 acres and 1,300 planted vines, with 30+ vineyards and nearly 20 wineries on the Washington side! 

And the best part? You can experience this incredible wine region right here in White Salmon and the surrounding Gorge communities!

Make a weekend of it! Explore downtown White Salmon, visit local tasting rooms, meet the winemakers behind the bottles, enjoy delicious local food, and take in some of the most spectacular scenery in the Pacific Northwest.

Whether you’re a seasoned wine enthusiast or simply looking for a beautiful fall escape, there’s no better time to sip your way through the Gorge. 

👉🏻 Ready to plan your wine country getaway? Head to the link in our bio and read "Wine, Wander, and Stay: Discover the Columbia Gorge AVA" for wineries to visit, places to stay, and inspiration for your next adventure!
