Fall is here, and we’re more than ready. In fact, we’re getting distracted at work right now just fantasizing about drinking a hot coffee from the porch of a Seattle-area mountain cabin.

Here are a few nearby fall getaways we’ve been eyeballing a little too intensely (yes, we’re turning our maladaptive daydreaming into content... what more could you expect from us):

North Bend Treehouse | ~$80 per night | Sleeps two | Try out this spot’s Mycology Immersion add-on package to learn about mushrooms, sample fungi charcuterie boards, and relax with a mycology audio session + sauna sesh.

Ansel’s Cabin | ~$234 per night | Sleeps two | Located on banks of the Snoqualmie river, this 300-sqft historic cabin gives you an intimate encounter with the nearby riverbanks and surrounding mountains.

This house reads the Wall Street Journal every morning or does regular juice cleanses.

Canyon Creek Cabins | ~$374 a night | Sleeps six | Less rustic and more sleek, this Granite Falls home feels like a cabin that fell straight out of an issue of Modern Living Magazine.

The Earl Carriage House | ~$202 per night | Sleeps two | Want that cozy cabin feel without being as removed from society? This rental in Seattle’s Ballard area keeps you close to walkable neighborhood gems including restaurants, coffee shops, and more.

The nearby forest and river make the Persis cabin an excellent oasis.

Persis Tiny Cabin | ~$119 per night | Sleeps three | This cabin may be small, but the great outdoors are just beyond your doorstep — making it more than worth the tight squeeze, if you ask us.

Luxury A-Frame Treehouse with Hot Tub | ~$318 per night | Sleeps three | This A-frame cabin in South Seattle is the best of both worlds with its surrounding lush greenery, nearby parks, and proximity to downtown (a ~20-minute drive).

    Sunday, Sept. 22 was the Autumn Equinox and temperatures are making a descent into that crispy fall weather — but we’ve still got summer on the brain.

    Why, you ask?

    Today might be Seattle’s last day in the mid-70s until spring 2025. Here are some ways to take full advantage of the lingering sunshine while it lasts:
    • Work outside — we get it, we’re still on the clock, too.
    • Meander Seattle’s local parks — take your time, feel the sun on your face, and b r e a t h e.
    • Take a hike — it may feel like summer but the sun still sets around 7 p.m., so give yourself plenty of time to make it back to the trail head before dark (or bring a headlamp, if that’s your jam).
    • Hit up a secret beach — have the day off? Lucky you. Make the most of it at one of these waterfront spots.
