Small Washington Town Has Tree Houses, Hot Springs and an 848-Foot…

Travel + Leisure's feature pairs overnight stays up in the trees with hot springs and a climb; the rock, at least, is not going anywhere.

What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorTeam coverage now from Washington State, where Travel and Leisure says one small town has luxury tree houses, hot springs, and a hike up an eight hundred forty-eight-foot rock.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA rock.

  3. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOur live map is a napkin, but the rock is drawn to scale, and it is enormous.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFine, I'm delighted too. You climb the rock, soak in the springs, and sleep in a tree, which sounds like a day nobody supervised.

  5. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI'm booking the tree house for Monday, and with nobody in charge here, I doubt anyone will notice.
