Sleep In A Treehouse Above A Tranquil Creek At This Washington Retreat

It's rare for us to declare that we have discovered a perfect getaway. But if you prefer unique experiences to standard hotels, love nature, aren't a fan of crowds but are a fan of Leavenworth, this treehouse stay just might be your ideal vacation spot. Surrounded by peaceful nature and a mere 15 minutes from Washington's Bavarian village, the Hansel Creek Gust Treehouse is a little piece of paradise.

The Hansel Creek Gust Treehouse is located in Peshastin, a tiny community in Chelan County.

The treehouse was built from salvaged timber off of the property by the owner and his friends, and it's fantastic.

We're not kidding when we say this place is right above Hansel Creek.

You'll fall asleep to the tranquil sound of rushing water, so leave your sound machine at home.

Needless to say, this is an amazing spot for stargazing.

And you'll be able to do plenty of it from your private balcony.

Inside you'll find a cozy, welcoming little space with coffee, tea, and a S'mores kit.

The little fireplace will come in handy on cool nights.

The treehouse is ideal for two, although three guests can sleep here comfortably.

While there isn't a full kitchen, there's a refrigerator, coffee maker, and plenty of dishes and silverware.

The single loft bedroom has a cozy king-sized bed perfect for a lengthy slumber after a long day of outdoor fun.

Bring your hiking boots, mountain bike, or snow shoes, because you'll definitely want to explore.

The outdoor shower is seasonal, so you can enjoy it from May - September.

Otherwise, the treehouse shares a heated Indoor shower with hot water and a bathroom in a separate building.

The outdoor grill is perfect for enjoying the weather while cooking up something delicious.

One of the other major perks of staying here: gold pans are provided. So when you're done grilling, you can head down to Hansel Creek and try to strike it rich (or at least find a little souvenir).

The Hansel Creek Gust Treehouse rents for around $175 per night, and it's well worth the splurge.

You'll be off the grid, but close to all kinds of fun.
