This is a great launch point for exploring the local area - we particularly wanted to see the local bike trails and were not disappointed! The Forest of Nisense Marks State Park and the Soquel Demonstration Forest were easily reached from the treehouse, about 5 miles down the road to one of the Nisense Marks trailheads. Highly recommend both areas! The treehouse is cozy and private, with an amazing skylight roof. As detailed in the other reviews and the listing's description, you should be able to walk the trails to the treehouse and climb the narrow ladder in the treehouse to the bed. For us, it was fun and part of the novelty of staying there.
