Jessica’s treehouse was a wonderful experience overall, and exactly what I needed on my solo trip to unwind. I do want to share a little more detail into what a couple other reviewers noted - this is an open air platform in the trees and “wildlife” often share those trees with you.
My first 2 nights were peaceful and enjoyable, and I got to overhear birds and squirrels. The bug situation was actually better than anticipated, and the mosquito net worked like a charm. My third night however was the night before the 4th of July and neighborhood fireworks seem to have scared the raccoons that live nearby. While I know it doesn’t seem like something that would happen on every trip, it’s a definite possibility and I personally was not prepared for a face off with a growling, defensive raccoon 7 feet from the bed.
There’s some “wolf pee” predator repellant spray in a metal storage box and I tried spraying that when I first heard the raccoons. FYI, I learned pretty quick that raccoons don’t care about it at all. The bravest one that got closest to me paused to sniff at it initially but remained unfazed.
I ended up leaving the treehouse that night as I did not feel safe. I know the raccoons were just scared, and rightfully so, of the fireworks - but staying in the treehouse = staying in their safe space. Jessica read my ridiculous messages the next morning and was very understanding and refunded me a night even though she didn’t need to do so, so that was very kind.
All in all, I’d recommend staying here if you’re with a second person, or if you’re a single person who’s confident at holding your own against raccoons if the need arises.
