Skamania Lodge has added two guestrooms that sit among the Douglas fir trees on its property in Stevenson.

The 600-square-foot rooms are 15 and 20 feet above the ground, and have large windows and openings, the lodge said in a press release.

Each tree house has a 150-square-foot outdoor deck, an indoor/outdoor fireplace, bathroom and king-size bed. Guests enter through an attached staircase. One tree house is accessible to disabled people.

Down on the forest floor is a gas fire pit, private dining area, a recreation area and hammock.

Rates start at $400 per night.

The team includes MG2, architect; Ankrom Moisan Architects, interior designer; Invision Li LLC, contractor; and I. L. Gross Structural Engineers.

The lodge is set on a wooded 175-acre site in Skamania County, near the Columbia River and the Columbia Gorge Interpretive Center Museum. It has 254 guestrooms.
