PLEASE NOTE, 4WD is required in order to access the sites. Please message me if you have any questions prior to booking.
Sustainable Ecovillage is an off-grid project for sustainable living. If you are looking for a unique experience and up for rustic accommodations among goats, chickens, a permaculture food forest with a few off-grid perks, we welcome you to join us in our mountainous, wilderness paradise!
Our 160-acre property is surrounded by about a million acres of National Forest. Our neighborhood is all made of trees, huckleberry bushes and animals. We love it here. It is very remote, peaceful, and functionally sustainable in its focus. The closest neighbor is a Buddhist Hermitage about a mile up the forestry road. Also, supposedly, Sasquatch live here! (it is the epicenter for documented sightings).
Most visitors to the area are interested in spending time in the redwoods – we are about 30-45 minutes from the nearest entrance to Jedediah Smith Park, home of Stout Grove and other beautiful redwood hikes. Driving into Crescent City, about 45-60 minutes, winds you right through the "gentle giants" on your way to or from Redwood National Park.
We are self-sufficient, and sustainable in a relatively primitive set-up, especially after the fire this year. It's mountainous and remote, and we have a community agreement about no smoking (of any kind) on our land.

We acquired the property in 2015, out-competing a logger who wanted to cut the grove for timber. We want the redwood grove to show the value of trees preserved in their natural state. You are helping us do that by staying in our woods!

Super cool spot! Very awesome treehouse in a very awesome location. Wish we had more than one night there but it was the perfect stop on our Redwoods roadtrip!

The treehouse is in a beautiful redwood forest, and is a fabulous experience to say you slept in a treehouse in the Redwoods. You must supply your own bedding and carry it up some wide wooden steps and then a very narrow, steep metal spiral staircase to the top. There is a small bucket at the bottom on a pulley system to the top, but I found it was too small to fit my sleeping bag, pillow, and blanket. David was a wonderful host and helped me haul my sleeping bag up, so that helped a lot. Just keep in mind that anything bulky is fairly difficult to get up the stairs. Also, the supplied camping mattress was too thin for my preference; I’m on the heavy side and sleep on my side, so that may have been why. It’s very clean and in excellent condition (the camp mattress) but bring more padding if you are one who needs it. The compost toilet/sink area was very clean and pleasant. Overall a great stay!

What an incredible slice of forest! The trees, ferns, and clover covered ground was absolutely magical. And the workmanship of the treehouse different levels, decks, and staircase was so impressive.

This was an amazing and unique experience. David is an excellent and gracious host. I arrived late and had trouble finding the exact location in the dark, and David promptly came out to meet me and show me the way. The treehouse is visually impressive and spending a night there is great for the soul. Highly recommend this place!

The directions that David sent were great and even easy to follow in the dark and rain :) The sleeping area was cozy (think tent size) and dry, and the amount of animal and rain sounds made it really feel you had stepped away from it all. Instructions for the bathroom use and local directions were easy to find and waterproof. It was so close to the National Park and Crescent City coastline and lighthouse that we had a really enjoyable stay.
