\u2018The Cinder Cone\u2019 is a multi-platform tree house<\/a> complete with hot tubs (and a huge skate bowl!) in the Colombia River Gorge, Skamania County, Washington. Set in stunning scenery with amazing views, this place was built to be enjoyed. The Cinder Cone was the brainchild of Foster Huntington, a blogger and photographer who had dreamed of building a tree house<\/a> since he was a child. He quit his job in 2011 to travel<\/a>, and after a few years on the road<\/a>, he was looking for a home away from home that he could use to relax and entertain his friends.<\/p>\n

Foster built his home on his family’s property, where he used to go camping as a child. He chose a pair of tall Douglas fir trees to act as bases for his two tree houses<\/a>, which measure 220 square feet each. A romantic footbridge connects these constructions (one for Foster, one for guests) with beautiful views over the gorge. There are a couple of hot tubs, and then there’s the \u2018piece de resistance\u2019: Foster\u2019s skate bowl. The hole was dug from the land using machinery and lined with reinforced concrete. Although it\u2019s not environmentally friendly, it does show us just how awesome a self-built tiny home<\/a> can be. The sky is the limit when it comes to dreaming big!<\/p>\n
