A stay guests call magical

Guests describe this stay as magical and peaceful, with many returning or planning to come back
Nestled in a cathedral of Old Growth Redwoods on 72 acres of the Santa Cruz Mountains, this Treehouse is one of a kind, for the quiet, nature loving adventurers . Lofty ceilings and solar string lights. oak spiral staircase leads you to your "nest", a queen sized bed with fresh linens and pillows provided. Down stairs is a tiny porch with bistro dining set for sipping wine from a local winery as you gaze out at the moonlit pond and meadow, the dappled light in the trees.

The space
A Loveseat and Coffee Table in the family room down stairs, a library of old, collected books arranged upon various shelves. 300 square feet.. close to several Parks and awesome hiking trails.

Wildlife spottings have included deer, red tail hawk, owls (heard at night especially), cute little blue belly lizards, turkey and wild peacocks, among many other more shy animals such as fox, turtles, koi, and rarely (if we're lucky) bobcats .

Close to everything Silicon Valley and Santa Cruz have to offer, including beautiful restaurants, live music, wine tasting, and state parks (Big Basin and Henry Cowell) for amazing hiking and events. San Francisco, Monterey is one easy hour drive north and south.

Vintage Clawfoot Bathtub/ Shower under a canopy of redwood branches and bay laurel, maple trees give a new meaning to "hot tub". Instant and abundant hot SPRING water.....
