Tree Top Glass House - Hi House

Hi House is a unique elevated studio style glass home located ridgetop amidst Bishop Pines overlooking Tomales Bay State Park and the Point Reyes National Seashore. Situated on five acres and completely surrounded by State Park and National Seashore, this tree top home is the perfect getaway for two. Just relax in comfort neslted in the swaying trees, or venture and explore the historic lighthouse, ocean & bay beaches, or hiking trails and numerous other activities located just minutes away. Your access to this unique home is by a spiral staircase at the back of the house. Due to the unique nature and features of Hi House, children are not permitted.

Located on Pierce Point peninsula at the entrance to Tomales Bay State Park, The Trees By Tomales Bay consists of two private vacation homes situated on 5 acres. The property features spectacular views of Tomales Bay and Abbotts Lagoon, and is surrounded on all sides by State Park and National Seashore.

Enjoy the solitude and peacefullness of our unique setting amidst bishop pines, oaks and beautiful vistas, or venture to the beaches and trails of Tomales Bay State Park (5 minutes) or the many vistas, trails, historic sites and beaches of the Point Reyes National Seashore (5-15 minutes).

POINT REYES NATIONAL SEASHORE comprises over 100 square miles, including 32,000 acres of coastal wilderness area. Estuaries, windswept beaches, coastal scrub grasslands, salt and freshwater marshes, and coniferous forests create a haven of 80 miles of unspoiled and undeveloped coastline. Abundant recreational opportunities include 147 miles of hiking trails, backcountry campgrounds, and numerous beaches, including over 10 continuous miles of unspoiled beach. Kayaking, biking, hiking, beachcombing, surf fishing, seasonal whale and elephant seal watching, bird watching and wildlife viewing are just a few of the activities awaiting your visit. Additionally, you can explore geology, Coast Miwok Indian culture or Lighthouse history by visiting the many historic sites within the park. Located just an hour’s drive from the San Francisco Bay Area, the Seashore is a great escape from a busy city life.

TOMALES BAY STATE PARK is comprised of a 2,000-acre day-use park which features four gently sloping, surf-free beaches, protected from winds by Inverness Ridge, the backbone of the Point Reyes Peninsula, as well as forests, fields, hills, meadows and marshes - each with its own plant life, including varieties of trees, shrubs and wildflowers. One of the finest remaining virgin groves of Bishop pine in California is in the park's Jepson Memorial Grove. Wildlife in the area includes foxes, raccoons, badgers, weasels, chipmunks, squirrels, rabbits, deer, bobcats, skunks, wood rats, field mice, moles and other animals. There are also land and sea birds, including the spotted owl, quail, goldfinches, puffins, great blue heron, pelicans, ruddy ducks, woodpeckers, meadowlarks - and more. The park has hiking trails connecting all its bay beaches, and is a popular place for picnicking, swimming, kayaking, canoeing, bird watching, clamming and boating.

Beautiful studio with breathtaking view
Hi House is a good sized studio with a cozy but well appointed kitchen. The furniture is comfortable, especially the bed. The property is in a fantastic location at the edge of Point Reyes National Seashore and Tamales Bay State Park. Sitting on a hill among the trees, you can see the bay and the ocean. The views are nearly unobstructed, with 3 full sides being floor to ceiling windows. You can also enjoy them from the ample deck. We look forward to spending another wonderful getaway at Hi House!

Fantastic, Like Always
We have stayed on this property countless times, and it never disappoints. Watching wildlife from the deck, watching the sunrise from bed, and getting a great night sleep in a comfy, quiet place. We love the area, but this house is what keeps us coming back.

Our Happy Place
We’ve stayed at Hi House at least once a year for more than 15 years. What more can I say - it’s a unique place - love waking up surrounded by trees, quiet, and secluded even though the walls are glass. In the heart of Pt Reyes close to so many amazing trails and beaches. Comfy bed and reading chairs. The best.

Absolutely Perfect!
We loved this property, and can’t wait to return! The location is great for exploring Point Reyes, and the views are incredible. The house itself is beautifully decorated and has all the amenities you could need. Very comfortable bed, well supplied kitchen, and the surrounding decks are a nice place to relax and enjoy the scenery. A lovely, quiet retreat in the trees!

Best Treehouse Ever!
A lovely retreat in a spectacular setting. Suggestions for improvement: supply shampoo and more soap in bathroom (consider a big bottle of liquid soap) and more essentials in kitchen (salt and pepper supplies were running very low and there was no cooking oil of any kind).

We’ve stayed at Hi House many, many times and it’s always magical. We love to wake up and see the trees all around us. The space is so comfortable and quiet - a true retreat. And it’s a quick drive to so many amazing hikes and beaches. Can’t wait to go back in a few months.

Perfect place to make a home base for excursions in the Inverness/Point Reyes area. Amazing setting up in the trees, and beautiful views as far as you can see, changing as the light does throughout the day. Would stay there forever if I could.

Location!
Loved staying "in the trees" in this high, glass-windowed home. Shopping is not nearby, so I wish there had been coffee. I would have been happy to meet the hosts who live next door, and that might have felt more friendly, but that's not a requirement of VRBO and we had enough information to manage on our own. The property was in excellent condition and very clean.

Always Amazing
We’ve been coming to Hi House for years. Perfect getaway for couples or a person who wants to slow down and relax. Perfect location in the park to quickly access amazing homes and beaches. Or, if you prefer, just stay in bed, hang out on the deck or use a lounge chair to watch the trees, sky and birds through the floor to ceiling glass walls. Very private since you’re up above the ground. We’ve already booked our next stay.
