The best treehouse rentals near Cascade Locks, Oregon

The rugged Cascade Range, tumbling waterfalls, and epic cliff walls rise above the Columbia River in Cascade Locks. It's no wonder this town calls itself the heart of the Columbia River Gorge. Just over 40 miles from Portland, this stretch of the river is a mecca for water sports. Sailing, kayaking, and windsurfing are just a few ways to play.

Make camp close to town at a local RV park, or nab a site at the Port of Cascade Locks' Marine park on Thunder Island. From here, you can embark on an old-fashioned sternwheeler cruise to view the Bridge of the Gods. For more river time, shove off from the marina. Just remember to BYOB (bring your own boat).

Craving Isolation? Connect with nature at Eagle Creek Campground, the oldest campground in the National Forest System. Perched on a bluff above the Columbia Gorge, this base camp gives you easy access to clifftop hiking trails. It's just one of many campgrounds scattered across Mt. Hood National Forest near Cascade Locks.

For shaded tent sites beneath a dense canopy, head to Ainsworth State Park. This lush mountain park offers hikes to Multnomah Falls and countless other cascades.

Wherever you pitch your tent, scenic mountain landscapes are always at your doorstep. The area draws big crowds in the summer, but winter camping here is just as exciting. Hike to frozen waterfalls, or enjoy world-class winter sports in Hood River and the Cascade Range. You can even try snowkiting--a mashup of snowboarding and kitesurfing.

💥❣️💥Thrilling Delights of Perseid Meteoric Nights💥❣️💥 💥❣️💥July 17th - August 24th - Reserve Now💥❣️💥 Largely constructed from materials lovingly and gently harvested on-site, the Yurt at Rivendell is a sanctuary of peace and serenity. A place for rejuvenation and inspiration. The yurt began as a rustic structure utilizing lumber from trees selectively harvested to protect the health of the forest. But, the more Roy worked on the Yurt the more it spoke to him letting him know how to proceed and what it should become -- resulting in this phenomenally peaceful and stress-free wilderness sanctuary where the sun, the moon and the stars wink at you through the gentle undulations of the 100-year-old Douglas Firs Trees or through the ambient ether of the adjoining meadows. Our property is located 1hr and 30 minutes from Mt Hood in Oregon. We are located in White Salmon, Washington. There are enough things to do in White Salmon, including hiking trails, biking trails, white water rafting, waterfalls, and paddling spots to keep you entertained for a weekend, week, or lifetime! NOTE: While we do accept Instant Bookings for both our Tree House and Yurt there may very rarely be a conflict with a booking received earlier from another site when the HipCamp calendar has not been updated to reflect that booking. In that case, we default to the earliest booking and work with the guest to see if there are other dates which will work. *Meteorologists project possible visible Northern Lights through May 14, 2024

We very much enjoyed staying on Barry's land. Was peaceful and secluded. We had a wonderful run in with assistant Peter, who told us about Steve, but Steve was elusive during our stay. The walk to the bathroom was a trek on uneven land yet I found it a fun challenge. Maybe in the future we will try out one of the other accommodations on his property. Thanks for the stay.

Weekend Trip to Yeti's Tree House

This treehouse was so fun for our weekend family trip! It’s a bit of a walk to get there, but such a cute setup. So nice to have a toilet, sink and shower with warm water! The host and co-host were so helpful and even helped get my favorite hat back after I left it on checkout day 🤦‍♀️ Thank you to Barry and Peter!

Absolutely magical stay. Falling asleep to crickets and waking up under the stars with a full moon shining through the trees was unforgettable. Peaceful, simple, and deeply connected to nature—exactly what I was hoping for.

No surprises! Directions were specified so that it was easy enough to get there past dark. Hot tub was amazing both during the day and at night. Quiet with Mountain View slightly down the road. Overall it was an extremely pleasant weekend ☺️

We had the most magical night here, a staycation slumber party with my kids. They have transformed this property into a true woods retreat, and my kids heard eagles and coyotes and loved walking on the bridge and inventing games in the tree house. Thank you so much!

Such a cool and relaxing experience. My pup and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will likely be back! We even woke up to the infamous Elk "Steve" who roams the property. Nothing short of magical and a well maintained bathroom.

What a fun/adventurous stay. This place was more than a treehouse. It had everything you needed for a quick rest during traveling or an over night with kids. It’s a magical foresty oasis. The kids loved the zip line, netted hammock and a little tv to wind down. The outdoor giant bathtub looked super fun but time didn’t allow for it. Comfortable, spacious, full bathroom, toaster oven, microwave and everything you need for a restful and enjoyable stay. It’s a must to stay here just to walk down the ramps in a jungle setting that lead up to this hidden gem.

This was one of my favorite places and will be visiting again! There was a slight texting miscommunication and Barry went above and beyond and gave us extra accommodations. The manger on site Peter was extremely kind and genuinely made our stay memorable! There was also this Elk that was on the property and made for a beautiful sight in the morning :)

We had a great time at this little cabin. The view on one side had a view of construction equipment and there was some construction noise when we arrived but it stopped shortly after and did not resume. We had a great time going through all the tapes in the cabin- our favorite was Kitaro Astral Voyage. The grounds were nice to take a walk on, and found it extraordinarily easy to have a dog with us, the gate at the top of the stuff was perfect to keep him contained while in the hot tub and there was so much space for him to run around and get some energy out. The wood stove kept the cabin plenty warm- almost too warm much of the time so we had windows cracked and the fresh air was nice. The only part that was iffy to me was asking for us to do our own cleaning up, as well as leave a tip for the housekeeper, as well as a $100 cleaning fee and while this has become standard for most places unfortunately, it doesn’t sit well with me to ask for all 3 of those things, especially as the cabin wasn’t pristinely clean to begin with. The dust bunnies under the upstairs bed and splatters on the wall around the stove and the splatter on the bathroom door need attention, however we are not clean freaks and it wasn’t too much of a bother. Overall we had a lovely time and would recommend this spot. Next time we would probably go for the yurt as it is slightly more secluded without being in view of houses/construction equipment. Oh, and large people might struggle to get up the stairs. 5*

Weekend Trip to The Old Barn In The Woods

This site is very nice, tent camping in a treehouse! Nearly everything you need is inside the tent, and the bed is surprisingly comfy. The only inconvenience is that the bathroom is a bit of a walk, and you have to cross over a suspension bridge which can be a little scary at night or when it's raining. But the bathroom does have hot water and a shower!
