Every Pacific Northwest summer, locals are possessed with a palpable urgency. In our scarce months of good weather, we must accomplish as much hiking, swimming, and al fresco adventuring as possible before drizzle drives us all back indoors. But where do we base these outdoor excursions? Check out these Washington Airbnbs in nature, each of which connects you to our stunning local scenery.

1. The Secret Land, Enumclaw

Nestled riverside on a sprawling 30 acres, this serene campsite is a budget-friendly option for big-payoff fun. Managed by veteran Airbnb host Jewel, The Secret Land is a dog-friendly refuge for rest and relaxation beneath the stars. Spend the evening soaking in the hot tub and wake each morning to the chatter of the river right outside your door.

2. The Bear Creek Treehouse, Sultan

Soaring 20 feet above the forest floor, this stunning treehouse looks out into a canopy of thick old-growth trees. Luxurious amenities include a private hot tub, but the starring attraction is the nine-foot folding door, which, when opened, dissolves the boundary between guests and the nature just outside. Fancy a night in? Pull a massive screen from the ceiling and use a projector for your movie-in-the-park experience.

3. The CloudDrift Villa, Brewster

Featuring breathtaking views of central Washington, the CloudDrift Villa promises guests unmatched access to some of our state's most beautiful and woefully underrated parks. Designed with tranquility in mind, this exceptional rental has a hot tub and sauna onsite for visitors.

4. The Riverfront Retreat, Gold Bar

Boasting vaulted ceilings, impeccable 1970s chalet interiors, and easy access to the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area, a region containing some of Washington's highest-rated hikes, the Riverfront Retreat proves a nature-centric vacation doesn't have to sacrifice style. There's room for six at this unique rental, making it the perfect escape for families and friend groups.

5. The Olympic Glamping Getaway, Port Angeles

The older I get, the less certain I am that camping pads weren't designed to inflict maximum human suffering. It doesn't need to be this way! Managed by experienced hosts Jesse and Alicia, the Olympic Glamping Getaway combines comfortable beds with back-to-nature digs, allowing guests to explore the wonderous Olympic Peninsula without a tweak in their lower back.

6. The Curlew Earth Home, Republic

Being in nature has never been interpreted so literally or with so much cozy detail. At

7. The Romantic MicroCabin, Arlington

Beneath the shadow of rugged Jumbo Mountain, this eclectic forest escape is my top pick for a romantic excursion for two. Here, rustic camping meets out-of-the-box design, and sleeping beneath the moon roof, which gazes into bright constellations, never gets old.
