Out of a two week long honeymoon in the San Fran area, the treehouse and Big Sur (you NEED to drive highway 1) made up the best 4 days of the entire thing. Mary Jane, her family, and Gray the cat are some of the most wonderful people/things we have ever met. (As others have said, my Husband does not 'like' cats, and I don't think he spent more than 5 minutes without Gray on his lap.) The cat really made the stay feel complete - a very friendly animal that made us feel special- she was always waiting for us to return 'home'.
We instantly felt at home in the treehouse and enjoyed the fact that we had all the excitement and peace of camping (there's a great deck!!), but with a wonderful bathroom and kitchen. Simply the best of both worlds. It was so relaxing to make a nice dinner and share wine in the comfort of the treehouse. There is a great market at the bottom of the hill that we used to stock up on easy meals - like pre-marinated chicken and smoked sausage. The treehouse is seriously nicer than our apartment at home, and is more spacious, and a better value, than all of our SF hotel rooms. Mary Jane really did think of everything. Cooking needs, spices and dishes, towels and soaps, extra blankets, flashlights, dvds, scrabble, books, a great little grill and of course an amazing hot tub. It was magic.
Plus, the drive to the property and the hike in the woods was a complete adventure in itself.
What can I say that hasn't already been said!! If you're on the fence about this- BOOK IT.
