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❤️

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!

Super lovely and convenient stay. The garden was full of fruit and flowers, being serenaded by the pond was really soothing, Pat and Kamala were very friendly and also mindful of our privacy and it made for a perfect spot to spend the night between a day on the coast and a day on the river.

A nice secluded area surrounded by flowing water, plants, trees, some wildlife that was not far from the city of Sebastopol and close to great hiking, the Russian River and Bodega Bay. The site had everything needed for a comfortable stay.

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!
