The Eldorado Canyon Treehouse, designed by Tabberson Architects, is nestled between a steep mountain ridge and a seasonal creek near Eldorado Canyon State Park; this cozy, treehouse-style cabin is the ideal nature retreat for a father-daughter duo. Thoughtfully designed to maximize both function and charm, the treehouse includes two intimate bedrooms that overlook a welcoming living room and kitchen area. Expansive East-facing windows and a wrap-around main-level deck provide breathtaking views of South Boulder Creek and Eldorado Canyon, while the North-facing, two-story deck offers a picturesque upriver view. The soothing sounds of water rushing over boulders below add to the cabin’s tranquil, immersive experience.
Built with a unique series of tilted timber frame members and large, distressed beams, the treehouse embraces a rustic charm infused with whimsical touches. Trapdoors, a pulley system, ropes, and lanterns create a sense of adventure, evoking the playful spirit of a true treehouse. Each design element contributes to an ambiance that is as imaginative as it is warm, capturing the essence of a mountain hideaway that’s fun yet cozy.
The layout combines these rustic, playful features with compact efficiency, ensuring every square foot serves a purpose. Merging functionality with character, this treehouse-style cabin is a comfortable and enchanting mountain escape, perfect for memorable retreats and endless exploration amidst nature’s beauty.
