The space
✨ Cliffside Airstream + Tiny House Retreat | Redwoods • River • Stargazing ✨
Welcome to The Edge at Leggett – a one-of-a-kind private glamping retreat we added an airstream for 2 but you can also book our tiny house so up to 4 guests can now stay, perched on a dramatic cliffside, where the redwoods meet the river and the sky comes alive at night. Nestled on a secluded hilltop meadow, this peaceful hideaway features a stylishly restored Airstream and a cozy tiny house, offering the perfect escape for couples, families, or friends (sleeps 4 max).
Wake up surrounded by towering redwoods, breathe in the fresh forest air, and spend your days exploring nearby hiking trails, dipping into the river, or simply unwinding on the deck with jaw-dropping views. At night, enjoy epic stargazing under truly dark skies – no city lights here!
Lots of wildlife in area including bears, foxes and many more
