Easy, Big Sur, Carmel and Monterey access.
My Artist's Treehouse and Artist's Library couple-size apartments are at the top of the most popular in the Carmel/Monterey Peninsula area. Experience them.
A wide staircase winds up to the deck with table and seating (smoking allowed outside, only) and the double doors to the apartment. The all redwood building has a peaked, open beam, tongue and groove ceiling with cathedral-shaped stained glass windows on each end and screened windows throughout.
Carpeted with oak parquet in the full kitchen and tile in the full bath (shower)– the effect is light and lovely! Extremely well insulated, the Treehouse has a gas wall heater; in summer the ocean breezes come in early afternoon to cool and the days are FOG FREE.
Parking is a covered carport behind full fencing and an electric gate. Addit parking fee for a second car, by request only.

We loved our stay at The Treehouse! It is a peaceful, welcoming setting and we'll come again!
The drive from SF was lovely, our dinner in Carmel Valley Village was delicious, the Aquarium was great to visit (and Desiree shared her membership cards!). We will definitely return!
We had a great time in this cozy artist's studio loft. The space was quiet and decorated in a charming manner. We had everything we needed and our host was very helpful in providing information about local places to visit.
If a quiet & charming retreat nestled amongst oaks overlooking a serene mountain valley appeals to you, then simply book now. Very private & amazing host with great recommendations for dinning & play.
We absolutely loved the treehouse! The location was amazing - everything was perfect. Very comfortable, plenty of space, and the surrounding landscape was just so beautiful. Would definitely recommend this place - it does not disappoint.
We were in town for the AT&T Pro-Am golf tournament at Pebble Beach and decided to stay in Carmel Valley. We found this great little place to stay and totally had a great time.
We were able to enjoy a few peaceful days in the Treehouse. The area is very safe and quiet yet close to wonderful places to visit in Monterey and Carmel. We especially enjoyed watching birds off the deck
A wonderful stay on a beautiful property…lovely architectural details, well appointed interior, clean and cozy in a gorgeous setting. Great host with excellent communication.
Conveniently close to town in Carmel valley and a brief drive to the ocean. Just what we needed. A cute shabby chic vacation getaway with a rustic feel.
Stunning hideaway surrounded by beautiful countryside. The accommodation was uniquely and perfectly designed for comfort and serenity.
A truly enjoyable getaway....we will be back!
Great property and very roomy. Amenities top notch. Close to every where you want to be. Can cook some. Beautiful property and very safe. Wonderful host who gives you all the information you need to have a great time.
Idyllic spot with very nice view. Unit, inside and out, full of charm and comfort. Host was very accessible and communicative. Would stay again w/o looking for alternative.
Our 3 night stay was perfect in every way, a total contrast to recent properties we have stayed in. Desiree is amazing, she really looks after you and is a font of local knowledge, which comes in very handy if you don’t know the area. I would not hesitate to recommend a stay here if your in the Carmel area…we will certainly be back 👌
Lovely treehouse! Perfect location and close to everything. Host was very personal and attentive. Will definitely be back!

About the host
Hosted by Desiree
I'm a full time artist with my studio onsite for creating and selling my ShellShades.com pieces across the United States. But I also love to garden and especially love to water my garden– a guilty and expensive pleasure in CA. Nonetheless, this home and property have allowed me to work, play and create the perfect refuge. I think you'll enjoy it, too. Desiree
Why they chose this property
I love the outdoors and wildlife. Between here and the 3 minutes to the 'Village' watch out for deer and turkeys on the road. At the 'Treehouse' we also have turkeys and quail, gray fox, raccoons, squirrels, opossum and birdsong. At night you can hear the river running in the canyon below and birds singing a morning wake-up. Night skies are exceptionally starry and we are fortunate with our clean air to view the Milky Way most nights.
What makes this property unique
–MONTEREY BAY AQUARIUM is the most popular attraction in Monterey County. –WINE TASTING is big here because we have such an excellent wine growing appelation– ask me about the 20+ Tasting Rooms within 1 mile of the Treehouse. –WILD TURKEYS and deer heavily populate the area and hiking trails thread throughout Carmel, Carmel Valley and Big Sur. –FIND A MYSTERY book in the collection and read it while you're here.
