The treehouse was a truly blissful experience the entire three night stay. We didn't know what to expect. We had looked at the pictures online and were captivated but actually being there among the beautiful redwoods and really listening to the silence and the birds singing was rapturous. Experiencing the soothing bubbles of the hot tub's jets and soaking in it's perfect warm temperature in an enchanted forest setting was awe inspiring. I loved the high ceilings and windows all around. Waking up to the sun shining through the trees and reconnecting with the stillness and quiet was a much needed respite from our day to day lives. We appreciated how well stocked it was with its spices, dishes, cookware, extra blankets and towels. Returning to work was difficult because I was still back at the beautiful treehouse and it's serene environment. Augustine was a great greeter and helped us out in a pinch when my car wouldn't start. The love and care they put into the treehouse is evident and very much appreciated. If you desire a peaceful place to de-stress, a quick getaway to relax and recharge this is exactly where you should be. We read, watched DVD's, played cards, did a few puzzles and enjoyed game shows on tv. Who does that anymore? Our stay was complete with New York steaks, BBQ and hot dogs all on the provided grill. If only we had brought Nestlé toll house cookies for baking. Yes, there is an oven! Fiancé was delighted at how well the gas stove cooked our bacon and egg breakfasts. There is so much charm and quirkiness in the treehouse we were truly delighted. As soon as I stepped inside I was impressed by it's high ceilings and cozy feel. The story behind it is very endearing and is displayed in an album. There is also a journal of previous guest experiences which was fun to read. We were able to turn off our devices for most of the stay and it's the perfect place to read a book. Remember those? The chairs outside were perfect for hanging out and catching some rays. We had intended to explore the beaches around Santa Cruz but ended up being beyond satisfied with the peaceful feel of the treehouse and it's surroundings. Surrender to nature and it's solitude. We felt rejuvenated and reconnected with each other and we owe it all to the Treehouse. Our heartfelt thanks to you kind people for sharing your space to make so many people happy. Ourselves especially. It was a very enjoyable experience staying here and we hope to return many more times for special occasions or not. We are fortunate to live only an hour and a half away but we would fly hours to this magical spot. We hope to stay with a larger group sometime at the Dragonfly Cottage and experience that area as well. Thank you thank you thank you.
