Beautifully perched high in the redwoods, this is the view on the way in.The small tiny home on the property for rent as well. Less rustic and very cozy

This rustic, two story treehouse is nestled in a gorgeous stand of second growth redwoods. The dome is designed for two people, but some find they can sleep comfortably with 3. A double mat is provided, but guests should bring their own bedding materials. The dome is uninsulated and is the only enclosed area in the treehouse. If you prefer to set up a tent for sleeping, a platform is provided by the picnic table near the parking area. This accomodation utilizes a basic compost toilet and there is a jug of water you can use for drinking, washing your hands, and basic dish clean up. There is no kitchen but you are welcome to use a propane stove as long as it is attended. I live in the tiny home at the far end of the property. I am happy to meet and interact as much or as little as you need and am available throughout your stay by messaging through hipcamp.This rustic, two story treehouse is nestled in a gorgeous stand of second growth redwoods.

Because our neighbors have a rooster and other farm animals, you may hear crowing in the early hours. We are located on 1.25 acres approximately six miles north of Crescent City, California, halfway between Portland, Oregon and San Francisco, California—a comfortable day's drive (350 miles) from each city. We are three miles from the old growth redwoods at Jedidiah Smith State Park, part of the Redwoods National Park jointly managed by the state and federal governments. The tallest coastal redwoods in the world are within 10 miles of us. Two miles separate us from the ocean as the crow flies, about four miles by road. The nearest beach is Tolowa Dunes State Park where you are likely to see elk herds and porcupines. The beach is lightly used and on a weekday morning you can walk for miles north or south without seeing another person, though you are likely to see seals staring at you from the surf.

  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    This treehouse destination brings a delightful mix of magic and nature. Guests often describe it as a unique and memorable escape nestled among towering redwoods. However, the experience can be marred by the presence of noise from nearby farm animals and neighbors, which some find disruptive. While the artistry and atmosphere capture the hearts of many, others note issues like cleanliness and comfort that could use attention.

    I didn’t get to stay here as booked for three people and then Was told the dome only fitted two people and that I should bring a tent as was only room for two people . I had already paid when was told this . Yarrow said she was happy to give me a refund if the place didn’t seem a good fit with the bad weather coming . I said I wanted a refund the. She went quiet and I didn’t get a refund

    Looking at it on creativity it was cool that’s true. But the dome was not sealed well at all, tons of spiders inside, and the bed was basically sleeping on a piece of plywood. Also there was no bucket even for the composting toilet and empty soap at the sink. As they state in the description about noises in the morning it was true. Roosters and dogs barking and neighbors yelling as soon as the sun came up. Sadly as cool as the place looks I wouldn’t suggest it to my friends or family. A hotel at half the price is a better call

    The treehouse was magical! Secluded enough to feel like our own private forest property. The amenities were great considering how primitive it was. Be sure to bring extra lighting for the different levels. Def recommend this gem!
