Beautiful Forest Hideaway - Hot Tub, Trees, Views and Privacy
Baumhaus is the German word for treehouse - and that's what it feels like when you're at Baumhaus - looking through the windows or off the deck into the incredible redwood trees. The original cabin (upper level) is traditional, striking, cedar Lincoln log construction while the lower level with 2 bedrooms, bathroom, and another living room were added later. An exterior staircase carries you from the upper deck to the lower deck where you'll love lounging, BBQ-ing , dining outside, and soaking in the hot tub!
There are so many spaces to gather with friends and family - inside and outside. The cozy upstairs living room features a woodstove and dining area closest to the kitchen. The downstairs living room includes a flat screen TV with Roku and ample seating. And when the weather is good, you'll want to be outside! Surprisingly, Baumhaus gets more sun than most homes in the redwood forest. Not to mention the perfect space for stargazing! You'll love the sense of serenity and connection to nature during your stay.

Check in was easy, arrival/driving instructions were accurate and helpful, and host was very responsive. Home had all the basics we needed (tp, coffee filters, bath towels), and wanted (books, games, local visit info). Home was beautiful and clean, just as described. My only wish is that I had booked for more days!

Hi — thank you for the kind review. We’re happy you enjoyed the space and wish you could have stayed longer — we hope you can stay with us again sometime.
The cabin is cozy and really convenient to scenery on the coast, the Russian River, and a fairly fast drive to the Bay Area too. We especially loved the helpfulness of the guides in the cabin, using the Bluetooth speakers while we cooked, and the big dining table.

Hello Abhijeet, Thanks so much for your lovely review! We're glad you enjoyed the cabin, the location, and those little touches. We would love to host you again :)
The house nestled in the trees was amazing! So beautiful to wake up to in the morning. We had everything we needed in the kitchen, and the hot tub was fantastic!

Hello Julie, We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for being wonderful guests :)
Very nice and clean property. It was very convenient having a small fridge downstairs so guests didn’t need to climb stairs at night. Very nice deck with a great view. Didn’t use hot tub but looked very clean. In woods but easy to find and close to river beaches and restaurants.

Thank you for the lovely review of Baumhaus. We are so glad you enjoyed the home.
We had a moms getaway weekend and this place had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable which is a huge plus. The kitchen was full stocked with everything we needed. The hit tub was the icing on the cake. A great was to relax. We will definitely stay here again.

Hello Tawni, Thank you for your review! We are so glad you had a wonderful stay. We appreciate you being such great guests :)
We loved feeling like we were in the canopy of the trees.
Hot tub was super-pleasant and everything went easily and well. Very comfortable for 5 unrelated adults.

Beautiful spot in the forest. Floating in the jacuzzi looking at the trees and listening to the birds was my favorite part. Excellent location between the coast and Guerneville. Comfy beds, lots of games and books, extra towels and blankets. We will come back!

Hello Sari, We are so thrilled you enjoyed your stay!!! Thank you for being such fantastic guests and for the lovely review-We would love to host you again :)
Amazing picture windows make you feel like you’re in the forest. No complaints! Visitors should note that the road leading to the driveway is very steep, confident drivers only.

We are regular visitors to the Russian River area, and have camped, rented homes and RVs, this home was a top location for our family stay.The main living area has a large window looking out at the redwoods and river valley. The 2 decks provide privacy as well as plenty of space to spread out, read a book or play a game. The hot tub was a hit, especially for late night soaks.The kitchen was fully stocked, providing all the cookware and supplies we needed for our family meals. The beds were comfortable and cozy.Probably my favorite feature was the lack of a television in the main gathering area. There is a 'family room' television in the downstairs, but no distractions upstairs.The home is about 10 minute drive from Monte Rio, and about 25 minutes to Guerneville. The Monte Rio community beach is a great location to enjoy a good float in the river.

Hi Tom, Thank you so much for the wonderful review of Baumhaus! We are so glad you had a wonderful stay. We hope you can come back sometime :)
We loved the Baumhaus! It's a beautiful home, loaded with amenities. Overlooking redwoods from all the windows and deck is spectacular, and the house is conveniently laid out, so if one part of the group are likely to be up late and others up early it works nicely--almost like having two apartments. Since all other features were great, we were surprised to find that all window screens except in the bathroom and kitchen had been removed, so there was no way to open bedroom windows for cool night air, except to invite mosquitos in. Since the Baumhaus doesn't have A/C, this is quite a problem in summer heat! Additionally (though we've been assured these problems are being fixed) the kitchen cabinet doors were sticky to the touch, and the outdoor furniture cushions were not clean. Nightly price should be lowered until these problems are resolved.

Hello Barbara, We are so glad you enjoyed your stay despite the lack of screens! We appreciate your feedback, and the homeowner did get that taken care of- all windows at Baumhaus now have screens to keep out the bugs. The other items were checked and taken care of. We would love to host you all again and thank you for not only being great guests but for your review and care :)
Thanks for such a wonderful weekend! Everything was outstanding. This house has a beautiful view and all the amenities are comfortable, elegant and useful.
Communication with Ellen and team was always great
