Overall a nice stay with some recommendations for upgrades to justify the price.
This is a quaint, cute, small unit tucked in the woods. Kitty was a nice host who greeted us upon arrival and gave a thorough walk through. Check in was smooth and checkout was easy, too. Lots of rules- but none too surprising. Just a lot to take in at check-in.
The treehouse is a bit hard to find- but the emailed instructions were sufficient enough to get us there without too much confusion. If you aren’t good with instructions and navigation- it’s a bit of a haul. Aptos is nearby and has a cute health food store. Great hiking trails within 10 min drive, too!
The treehouse is adjacent to the host’s home, meaning we heard and saw the hosts from time to time- especially when they were doing work in the driveway that separates the treehouse from their house. It wasn’t crazy disruptive but if you’re wanting something truly remote, this isn’t “in the woods.” We were hoping to feel like it was a little more private or hidden for a true “escape” feel. We got a kick out of the goats who roamed the driveway at night. :-)
My two friends and I enjoyed the patio and grill- lots of vegging out! The toilet situation took time to get used to (very manual and a little gross)- but to be fair- it’s clearly explained in the listing.
We had a blast- because my friends and I are close and comfortable with each other. It’s verrry cozy if you need more space- consider a larger listing.
Overall, cost wise- it’s expensive for how small and outdated the utilities, linens, kitchen ware and appliances are. But it is a cute stay and we had a blast!
