My husband and I along with our friends really enjoyed our stay at this magical treehouse. Beautifully designed and gorgeous views! Thank you for an amazing stay!
We had a great time staying at this property. We were only able to stay two nights but loved everything about it. We went for our daughter's 10th birthday because it was her wish to stay in a treehouse. It was great because it was big enough to bring her friend because they have a pull out couch. We have recommended it to friends and would definitely come back.
The treehouse is so beautiful and the view is stunning! Janiece was great with communicating and getting into the house was a breeze. My fiancé and I came here to relax for a couple days before our wedding, and it was perfect! Such a quiet and cozy stay.
We took some recommendations from the book and went to the Crows Nest for dinner, hiked in the Forest of Nisene Marks, and grabbed coffee at Cat & Cloud… all of which were amazing! We also cooked dinner for a night and the kitchen has everything you need. Thanks for making our wedding week magical!

Above Aptos
This property is truly unique, nestled into a quiet hillside neighborhood, surrounded by oaks and an amazing sense of quiet peacefulness. Built in 1964, the boldly designed "treehouse" offers long-range views and small, wrap-around decks taking advantage of various angles into and above the canopy. Its two stories of living space feature large rooms and modern amenities, and it was warm and cozy on some chilly nights. Our only caveat is that some wear is showing, and it does seem overpriced, for that reason. A bit of refurbishing would help justify what the owners are asking. However, we also discovered that Vienna Woods trailhead into Nisene Marks State Park is only a ten-minute walk from the front door, which was great on a weekend when driving into the park was restricted by recent treefalls and flooding damage.
