Up a Tree: Vertical Horizons




I booked this hotel because it was the closest overnight option for Oregon Caves National Park, and spelunking requires an early start. When I read about this joint, it seemed that they had three styles of tree houses. Turns out, they only have three tree houses total, each unique in design (with toilet, sink and heat) and set out pretty much on their own on a huge piece of property. To get there, we drove to the middle of nowhere, then down a dirt road, then down a gravel path, keeping our eyes peeled for a lone figure in the hills, waving a lantern like some horseless Paul Revere. It was fabulous, sort of like a hippie B&B, complete with a lovely breakfast. Check out the video of our "view" above. In the dark, it seemed that our nearest neighbor was on Pluto.
