Samuel & Janiece’s treehouse is truly lovely and a perfect place to relax. The views are breathtaking and the amenities are modern and comfortable. We were shocked at how comfortable the beds were! We had no issues with bugs/noise/brightness/uncleanliness which are some of the issues I’ve experienced in other treehouses. Location is very nice - hidden away but close to everything you need.
We did not mind the house rules being placed everywhere (on the contrary, great reminders) but I can’t help but think how unfortunate it is that the cleaning fee is so expensive, yet you are expected to tidy everything yourself. I know treehouses cost a lot to preserve, and as a guest I am happy to contribute to that, but of all the treehouses I’ve ever spent time in I’ve never had a cleaning fee this high for a one night stay. Ultimately, though it was a truly lovely experience, I’m not sure it was worth the full price we paid for one night.
Something to note - there is no air conditioning. Though generally speaking it’s not needed in chilly Aptos, we did find the top floor got very warm, even with the patio doors slid open.
