As guests, you’re invited to enjoy the land at your own pace. Sit outside and enjoy the quiet. Walk the perimeter to see cows in the pasture. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, request a guided farm tour where you can explore the almond orchards, or hay fields.
You’re also just minutes from some of the best outdoor activities in the Central Valley:
• Hike Mt. Diablo for stunning 360° views

2 nights at Stunning Treehouse & Cabin
I’ve always wanted to stay in a treehouse that was truly a treehouse masterpiece experience. I must admit that the views by themselves was reason enough to stay on this land. Being able to hike in redwood forest and go to a beautiful beach which was very private and on top of that spending quality time with our daughter who moved to Berkeley made for a perfect setting and start of our vacation. The combination of the old structures on the property, staying in a very comfortable clean treehouse with a gathering cabin as the lower structure which has magnificent vista views, quiet surroundings, wonderful amenities and to be able to go to sleep in the treehouse looking out multiple skylights and windows was a bucket list item that I loved.
Highly recommend for all❤️

So peaceful! I'd love to see it in spring when the almonds are blooming. All I could hear was cows mooing in the distance and one coyote howl. It was a great stopover for a couple nights. To find it, you turn right onto a small gravel drive off of Crocker. If you get to W. Undine you've gone too far. The pad is covered in largish chunks of recycled concrete. My car and little camper handled it fine, though. There is water, 30A & 50A power and sewer. Bring drinking water, because even with an inline filter the water came out rusty. If you get a chance, stop by the office and pick up some raw walnuts and excellent biscotti.

My wife and I stayed for about 4 months, we loved it. Jaqueline was very friendly and they have the best pecans and walnuts that you can purchase! The only problem was the rocks and our pets feet. But we worked around that and they eventually got use to it. Water and electric hookups came in handy. I hope to stay again!

Stunning experience! The best tree house we've ever stayed in. Sweeping views, spotless rooms, every detail curated by the hosts. Ali even packed us a picnic basket :)
I wish we could have stayed longer

Lovely wooded spot in close proximity to lots of hiking trails, a year round creek for exploring, wine tasting, and Saratoga Village. Good spot for camping light. Hwy 9 curves around the camping portion of the property so expect vehicle noise. It didn't prevent us from enjoying the place and at night there is hardly any traffic so sleeping was fine. There is a hose near the camp area that makes for good hand washing and outdoor showers. Shannon was truly the best host ever and really enhanced our stay with her generosity. Very thankful for her.

What an incredible spot! The treehouse is absolutely magical, nested high up in a beautiful, old tree, with beautiful views all around, and the lower cabin is gorgeous as well, with a perfect kitchen for making food and relaxing. Matt was so easy to communicate with and amazingly helpful with everything. It's definitely a world away and such a relaxing, gorgeous location. Thank you so much for an incredible stay!

Had a lot of fun on the property— the view from the treehouse was really nice at sunset and the amenities in the cabin made it super easy for cooking meals etc.

This treehouse is a splurge but also really unique architecture in a peaceful setting. The views from the treehouse are great. We saw turkey and deer wandering around. It's ~15min drive down beautiful Highway 1 from great food recommendations from the Host. The space includes both the treehouse with the bed and a separate cabin at the bottom that has the kitchen and bathroom. The Host was quick to respond and accommodating to make our trip work!
