## Overview

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.

> 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!

> This spot is truly unique and picturesque; however, it comes with a few things to keep in mind. When I stayed, the dome was really musty and could use some tender loving care. I ended up sleeping with a mask on because the mold was more than I could handle. I understand it's in a tree, and that comes with moisture...just keep that in mind if you are sensitive to mold. There was a lot of noise during the late afternoon. The neighbors were building a structure, so a lot of hammering and nail guns, and idling trucks just outside the property for quite some time. Barking dogs, goats, and roosters…
