4. List 6 places on you would love to stay locally with your family.
I’ve mentioned before that I love LOVE vacation rentals. I’m a little obsessive about all of my future plans that will most likely never come to fruition because money. Let’s face it there are a LOT of places I’d like to explore, but if money were not an option here are 9 unique places to stay in Washington state:
1. Snow Covered Mountains!
Back in January we went sledding at Crystal Mountain and I loved this little Alpine Inn snuggled up there. I can’t ski or snowboard, I’m afraid of heights and speed…BUT isolating myself on a snow covered mountain would be so fun! Any mountain will do.
2. Oceanfront!
I don’t care if our oceans are windy and freezing. I want oceanfront and I want it now! Might as well rent this sprawling oceanfront mansion on Useless Bay with 21 of my closest friends.
3. In A TreeHouse
This is the real deal. You can stay in a real life treehouse, only better because they’re heated and homey. I’ve had my eye on TreeHouse Point, but since they really promote a serene setting, your kids have to be older than 13.
4. Seattle Houseboat
You’re destined for 360 degrees of amazing views if you’re staying on a houseboat in Seattle. Bucket list!
5. In A Lighthouse
You can stay in a lighthouse! I want to walk around and pretend to be an inn keeper while sipping my coffee and watching the sunset with a good book in my lap. My kids can come too…they can play at the beach while daydream. I’ll watch them from my telescope.
6. In A Caboose
You can sleep in your own caboose at the Red Caboose getaway. My son would be in heaven!
8. Near Hot Springs!

I want to head into the Olympic Peninsula and stay somewhere like Lake Quinault Lodge where you can tour rainforests and experience a dip in a natural hot spring.
9. Across The Columbia River Gorge
I want to stay somewhere in eastern Washington that overlooks the Columbia River and is nestled into beautiful mountains. The Skamania Lodge will do!
Where do you want to stay?
Tima says
A couple of years ago, we went to Seattle. I’ve decided I NEED a houseboat there! And some of these treehouses are amazing!!!
Adrienne says
My husband and I stayed in the Skamania lodge a couple of years ago….and you are right – it will do!!! It was amazing! (linky isn’t working – just fyi)
Mama Kat says
Oh I didn’t know it wasn’t working! Shoot…I wonder why. You want to give me your link and I’ll see if I can add it?
Adrienne says
It’s back up – the whole Linky site was down for a while today – my link up from yesterday went down too. I figured it would be back up soon – and it is!!
Mama Kat says
Ahhhhh, the whole site was down!? I didn’t realize! I’m sort of relieved it wasn’t just me!
Vanessa says
It wasn’t working yesterday and was preventing me from even getting past where it was to comment. It’s good now though! :)
Mama Kat says
Yay! I’m glad you came back and added your link!
Stacey says
Hi there. I would love to stay in a light house one day. That would be awsome.
Here is my link http://staceyschneller06.blogspot.com/2015/12/writing-workshop.html
I did the fall recipe drink. Linky wasn’t working so I will put it here for now. Have a great day.
Tara Gauthier says
Figures, the first time in a while that I had a post written for this and up on the day it went live the linky wasn’t working this morning to link it up! Got it up now, so it’s all good. I would love to stay in a tree house, but my favorite would be getting to be near the natural hot spring!
Mama Kat says
I didn’t even realize it was broken! And to be honest that hot spring sounds REAL nice on this Friday night. I’m exhausted.
Jennifer Engelbrecht says
We have been trying to get the Navy to send us to the Bangor/Bremerton area FOREVER and this post just makes me even more bummed that it’s probably never gonna happen. Sigh. Guess we’ll just have to vacay out there one day! I definitely would pick that gorgeous (and somehow creepy) oceanfront one.
Mama Kat says
Seriously! If you get enough friends to join you at the oceanfront one, we might actually be able to afford a stay!
Vanessa says
I want to stay in ALL of them! So pretty.
Seriously, a tree house?! A caboose?! So much yes.
Mama Kat says
And you can actually pay to go on a tour of the treehouse one! I might actually do it!
Paula Kiger says
Holy cow do I EVER love all of these??!!
Andrea says
The lodges, where you sit inside with a hot beverage and many naps while everyone is outside in the cold and snow, and when they come in you all go out to a delicious dinner and then go straight to bed afterwards? Sign me up.
Cinella says
ROAD TRIP!! I’ve only seen snow twice in my life and my girls have never!!
