Wanna fulfill your inner child's dream of living in a treehouse?

I've got the perfect fall escape for you where you get to get cozy,

relax in nature, sit by the fireplace and eat delicious food.

Just 10 minutes of a gorgeous drive away from Issaquah,

Treehouse Point is a woodsy bed and breakfast with seven gorgeous

treehouses to choose from - each with its own charm.

We checked into “Temple of the blue moon” treehouse which has a

small bridge leading up to the front door and has the coziest interior.

The room had a cute reading nook and a cozy bed

as well as a beautiful balcony with sweeping views of the forest.

we went to the lodge where they have a huge collection of games to choose from

so we spend the night enjoying bananagrams and puzzles

and look at these cute ducks! As it got cold,

we lit the fireplace and enjoyed the cutely packed s’more kits provided. 

marshmallow but they were absolutely delicious.

We really thought nothing could be better than waking up in a treehouse

until we followed it up with some delicious hot homemade breakfast.

No, seriously, I could live my whole life off of the

homemade granola. After a hearty breakfast and a nice hot shower,

we decided to check out the snoqalmie falls just a short drive away.

The view was breathtaking and it was amazing to see the falls so up close. 

we decided to have a picnic at the treehouses which we devoured in about 10 minutes.

One of my favorite activities there was to feed the fishes.

There were so many trouts that were so hungry and just beautiful to look at.

After this, we took a short walk down to the river.

The sound of water rushing by was instantly calming

and the fall foliage was simply ethereal.

The colors were so vivid that we got our paintbrushes out and got to work.

We ended up spending hours by the water just watching the leaves

fall and painting away to wrap up this already wonderful day.

We sat by the community fire pit roasting marshmallows and making some more s’mores 😂

I honestly cannot recommend this beautiful oasis enough.

The video doesn't even come close to describing the mystical,

wonderful feeling in person and I can't wait to visit again.

Sip your way through five iconic bars and speakeasies in a historic Seattle neighborhood. 

Here's your plan for exploring Belltown's cocktail bars, starting at the State Hotel. Enjoy

🍸Explore Belltown’s best cocktail bars 🍸

Start your exploration of Belltown's cocktail scene at the State Hotel by meeting your guide.

Cocktail Bar Tour

✅ Before you go
• Attempting to park downtown can be atrocious, I recommend taking the Seattle Link — the State Hotel is less than a 10 minute walk from the Westlake station. 
• Learn more about the tour and book your ticket here: https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/savor-seattle-tours/items/616675/calendar/2025/04/?full-items=yes&back=https://www.savorseattletours.com/&gclid=CjwKCAjwzMi_BhACEiwAX4YZUMM17PZ8bBDV9IPGX55g8hteLv4vPrywolA9v-Wcfpo6aw4DZfo9IRoCSHIQAvD_BwE&g4=yes


💪 Pro tips
• Wear comfortable shoes as there is a bit of walking involved. 
• I met so many great, kind people on my tour! I encourage you to say hello and make friends :) 
• I recommend getting to the State Hotel about 15 minutes early so you can get settled in and use the restroom, if needed! (I recommend using the restroom beforehand since you only get a set amount of time to enjoy your drink at each bar).
• You probably passed a ton of restaurants on your tour — consider getting dinner at one of them! My friend and I decided to split pasta at Limoncello and it was delicious! 

Meet your tour guide at the State Hotel

If you're looking for a unique way to explore Belltown,

you should definitely take this cocktail tour.

Savor Seattle's Craft Cocktail & Mocktail Tour starts at the State Hotel.

It lasts anywhere between 2 to 2.5 hours,

your guide will bring you to 5 different bars or speakeasies through Belltown.

At each spot you'll get about a half drink pour,

I was so excited to see that they offered mocktails.

And just because I don't want to spoil the tour for you,

I won't tell you everywhere our tour guide, Judson, took us.

So Judson is an absolutely insane storyteller,

and of course every cocktail has a story.

After breaking down the concept behind the drink as well as the ingredients,

Even though I've been in Seattle for about 5 years at this point,

Not only was I introduced to new places that

I'm so excited to bring my friends back to,

but I also learned a lot about Seattle's fascinating history.

It was also just fun being able to explore Belltown because

for some reason I don't go down there that often.

This was such a great way to spend my afternoon

and I love being a tourist in my own city.

Head over to Silken Ceramics! 

It's been a while since I've taken one and I thought

it would be a great way to spend my afternoon.

So I headed over to Silken Ceramics to take their day of clay class,

Day of Clay is a really great way to try out

the pottery wheel without committing to an eight week course.

the instructor then took us over to the wheel

where she showed us how to prep our space,

it was then my turn to try out for myself.

And even though I've taken a couple of ceramics classes in my life,

But that's OK because the instructors were there

to help me every step of the way and answer any questions I had.

My friend decided to make a plate for her cat and I ended up with

this cup that I'm so excited about because I think it turned out really well.

and then I was faced with the hard decision of which piece I wanted to keep,

My friend and I had so much fun doing this,

and we can't wait to see how our pieces turned out when we picked them up.
