Relaxing Getaway in a Treehouse

Just over an hour from San Francisco is the perfect location for a relaxing getaway. Meandering into the small village of Rio Nido under the tall redwoods is a delight as you enter this Cabin in the Trees. Features two bedrooms one bath and large living room for entertaining. Nestled right in the Redwoods, the Tree House is gently perched in the trees overlooking the canyon below. As you gaze out the windows it feels as if your perched right in the canopy of the forest. The Tree House has two bedrooms with comfy queen beds and luxurious linens. Originally built in the 1920's this cabin has been updated and decorated with eclectic comfortable furnishings. Still maintaining it's rustic cabin charm the decks are amazing and a beautiful place to eat, drink and enjoy the tranquility of the Redwoods. There is a full kitchen with most everything you'll need to prepare basic meals and a dishwasher for cleanup. The Tree House is self catering so please bring your own food and spices. There is a Safeway grocery store in Guerneville just two miles down the road. We have a gas fireplace in the spacious open living room and in the fall and winter we do our best to have it on, warm and cozy for your arrival.

Mixed Feelings
I’m sharing much of this information to help future VRBOers considering this property. Please note that this property is rented by a business – not a person. VRBO will collect their fee directly, but the Property Manager will charge you separately directly to your credit card some time later. This was my first time experiencing that on VRBO. The property manager may or may not answer VRBO messages. I think it is helpful to know this up front. Check-in was easy and specified up front. Parking as previous reviewers mentioned is a challenge if you have more than one vehicle. I recommend renting this property only if you have 1 vehicle. The parking on the road is super challenging as the road is narrow with a drop off. Google maps took me right to the property directly the wrong way up a one-way street and Apple maps will take you somewhere else completely. The property manager does text directions prior to the stay. The coffee maker is a drip version with a reusable filter. We used this every day. The Wi-fi worked great – until it didn’t the last 1.5 days of our stay. No fault whatsoever of the property owner, but it rained terribly during our stay, which I presume knocked out the Wi-fi, but also the electricity twice. The electricity was out from 8pm our last night through check out. Thankfully the house does have gas for hot water and the gas heater in the living room. I couldn’t find a flashlight in the house. It would be nice to know where emergency supplies are in the future. Speaking of light, the rooms are darker than in depicted in the photos. Overall, we enjoyed the eclectic style and quirkiness. The exception is the tiny mirror and poor lighting in the bathroom. As a small group of women, we had no way to apply make-up or do basic care. I recommend bringing your own lighted mirror if you want to apply make-up, groom your eyebrows, etc. The property is advertised as “just over an hour from San Francisco”. I’m not sure what part of San Francisco or at what time of day that represents, but since I had to drive there several times during my stay, I would say if you are going to the San Francisco airport, allow a minimum of 3 hours. Accidents and bad weather impacted the traffic that direction every single time. If I had it all to do over again, I would have stayed in Santa Rosa or Healdsburg instead. Those towns seemed less impacted by the weather. The beds were comfortable.

Beautiful Place
The Tree house is even better in person! Waking up in the redwoods looking out all the windows was great! The property is beautifully decorated and the location is nice, we walked to and from town. The only negative is I didn't receive any instructions regarding the house and or checkin until 6pm the night before, and that was only have I called VBRO and the owner and left two different voicemails. It made me feel like they forgot about my reservation. After that the owner was more responsive and even double texted/emailed me! Thanks for sharing your home!

Fun, unique location
I had friends visiting from out of state who were so excited to stay in a treehouse in the redwoods and spend time up in wine country! The hardest part was the windy road and parking- but once we were there we enjoyed the quirky decorations, comfortable beds, well supplied kitchen, drinking wine on the spacious patio and walking down to the local bar and restaurant for live music and drinks! I highly recommend staying here for a unique and memorable experience!

House is Very Dark on Inside
We had trouble finding the house, but with the help of neighbors, we finally did. House numbers are all jumbled making it more difficult than it needs to be. The outside decks under the redwoods is a winning feature of this property, but the interior of the house was very dark (and we had sunny days). The online photos have obviously been professionally lit. The furniture in the living room is so uncomfortable; we spent no time there - lucky for us, the outdoor areas and temps made it lovely to be on the decks. Gratefully, the beds were both very comfortable. The bathroom is very small and tucked at the back of the house. The kitchen is also very small but adequate. Would be nice if staples like sugar were stocked. The delivery of fresh coffee was a nice touch however. The place was clean which is always a plus. This is an old house with funky electric, extension cords and inadequate lighting. It would be like staying in your grandma's summer cabin with lots of eclectic knick knacks all around--as is LOTS of them. Some will find that charming. We found it garrish. Rio Nido is a bit of a dumpy town and honestly we don't get the appeal for staying in this area. Very few local amenities to enjoy and keep in mind almost all local eateries are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays due to lack of tourist activity. Maybe shop fronts are empty or closed down all together - maybe partly from COVID - not sure. For the money this listing charged, we expected more, a whole lot more. That said, sitting out on the back deck under the redwoods (when the surrounding neighbors and dogs were quiet) was enjoyable. For my money, I would skip staying in Guerneville/Rio Nido and look for another area along the coast! Just keeping it real . . .

Eclectic Funky Charm
If you’re looking for a charming house with tons of eclectic funky charm…this is the ONE! Wonderful older home with interesting and comfy decor. Truly nestled right amongst the trees so you must enjoy the shade and awe of these towering giants. A wee bit tricky to get to via a very winding narrow road, and the parking is equally tricky but so worth it. We walked down to the Roadhouse for some live music one night so we didn’t even need to move the car! Great spot for a getaway.

Terrific Quirky Cottage Escape
This cozy cottage is a great get away from the Silicon Valley grind and pandemic isolation. Quirky decor inside was fun to explore including the giant pear lamp and antiques. Great kitchen, cozy bedrooms, lovely deck among the redwoods and ideal location for visiting Guerneville or Healdsburg. We loved it!

Beautiful stay in the redwoods
This cabin is quirky and full of charm- it truly feels like a treehouse. 4 stars only because the cabin is quite dark during the day and kitchen didn’t have dish towels or hotpads. Very minor!

The Treehouse is a Fabulous Find!
Quirky, eclectic, charming and funky best kick off a description of this interesting rental up in the hills nearby downtown Guerneville! The owners have made a perfectly interesting rental our of this 1920's gem. Their avant-garde sense of taste is everywhere. In short, eye candy for the entire trip, so statues, lamps, antique chairs or fascinating pictures adore every inch. The beds are VERY comfortable - like, better than home. Kitchen is very functional with lots more pots and pans than the average rental. Outdoor dining or taking in a cocktail on the back deck at dusk are a must. Not a great option for families with young kids that will get into everything (but fine for teenagers that will appreciate the decor and earthiness). Easy communications, issue-free check in. A LITTLE bit hard to find - try and arrive during daylight that first time (winding roads, missed street signs, etc.). But worth the search. Super clean and tidy. A little creaky and antiquated - so if you don't like old places - avoid. Easy drive to downtown; 20 minutes to Healdsburg Square and its myriad wineries. Highly recommended - we'll be back!

We spent Christmas at this cozy treehouse. It was an amazing place to relax for a few days. Cool decor/furniture, tree views and the house within walking distance to the river. Would definitely come back.

Really liked the house— it feels like a secluded quirky tree house in the woods. My one complaint was that it’s a bit dark in the house, but didn’t affect my experience. Location is fantastic. Thanks for a fun weekend.

Not so Quiet Weekend
My wife and I rented the Treehouse and were very disappointed to find that the property is not at all secluded as the photos represent and is in a very busy/noisy neighborhood. The interior is indeed decorated in an artsy, boho-style, by someone with a nice eye for unique accessories. However, in person it's overcrowded and dark, and the living room seems like a cluttered storage area for excess used furniture, none of which is comfortable to sit in. And while rustic was implied, it could use a deep-cleaning and some handyman attention (very old windows with warped, cobwebby screens, cracked dirty skylight, dirty shelves in refrigerator, ants in kitchen, lights outside that didn't work). The electrical in the house was rigged (extension cords to lighting snaking everywhere). The weekend was very hot, and the home is not air conditioned (we had to dig to find an old fan in a closet - no comment from property manager Theo to address the uncomfortable temperature). The living room does not have windows that open or a bug screen on the door, and the temperature inside exceeded a sweltering 85 in the evenings. Our only recourse was the deck. The largest deck has no comfortable chairs to sit in (just rickety recliners). The photos are deceiving, as this home is not secluded. It is right in the midst of and overlooking many other cabins with raucous neighbors, barking dogs, music, etc. A neighborhood Rec Center with peewee golf course is visible (and within earshot) from the deck with a fairly well-trafficked local street winding by (trucks, campers, etc.). Worse is the proximity to the Rio Nido Roadhouse (at base of hill) - a large bar that plays amplified music OUTSIDE until 10pm which is impossible to ignore from the deck. The listing should at a minimum disclose the amplified Roadhouse music. The fact that The Treehouse is billed as a "relaxing getaway" is very misleading in combination with the photos shot only from angles that imply the property is secluded. We tried multiple times to reach Theo (phone, text, email) to come up with a solution. No response. Miserably hot, with no quiet place to go, we gave up and drove home to the Bay Area at 9pm at night, a day early. We texted that we left early due to our unpleasant say. Still no acknowledgement. Note also that the Treehouse is on a steep, extremely windy one-lane access road with a small, creaking deck parking space that is challenging to park in without a compact car. Communication is poor

Wonderful Getaway!
The Treehouse was such an amazing experience. We really enjoyed the beautiful art inside the house. You will spend your entire time finding little pieces of art in every corner! You will get to enjoy relaxing in the living area listening to jazz and admiring the beautiful trees outside. There is a little gas fireplace that made the trip complete! We would wake up, turn on the fireplace, enjoy a nice cup of coffee and just RELAX! The rooms were very comfortable; best nights rest I have had in a long time. The whole house was immaculate, and I am a neat freak! The only recommendation I will give is to have a small car. We had been given a large car by the rental office and had a very tough time getting to the house. You will go up a very tiny canyon road and will be making some scary hairpin turns. (This is tough for Midwest people; we drive in straight lines!). Staying at the house is definitely worth the drive on that road, but just be ready if you aren't used to this kind of driving!

Great experience in the treehouse!
We had a great time staying at the tree house! It is just as lovely as you see in the photos, and a cute little town close to tons of good restaurants and vineyards. Dale was amazing and told us all the good places to check out. Just a few things to note, the house is up a windy road and you park on a wooden deck. We were driving a uhaul van and had no idea we would be parking in the narrow driveway, which caused some issues when we arrived at night and there wasn't much light to help us figure out how to back into the space. All that to say, Dale showed up and helped us park and showed us around the house and was very accommodating and helpful. He had tons of suggestions for things to do and places to eat in the nearby area which was greatly appreciated since neither of us had been to the area before. One other thing to note: we received an email from Theo saying thank you for booking your stay in Barbados. This was very alarming to me and raised a few red flags, but note that Theo also manages properties in the Barbados area. Thanks again to Dale and Theo for a lovely stay! We hope to see you again soon.

Truly Breathtaking Experience
We have used VRBO several times during our travels and have always had a great experience. This "tree house" was more than great! It was not only a beautifully breathtaking, clean, comfortable and quaint cottage in the Red Woods, it was an over whelming experience of peace. The owners of this "gem" went over and beyond to share this true gift. Whether your getaway is with girlfriends or a romantic stay with a special someone, I HIGHLY recommend this "Tree House" in Rio Nido. I can't wait to return! Thank you so much for this treasure in the trees. Sincerely, Yaya Stephany
