Relaxing Getaway in a Treehouse

The charm of the Tree House is the fact that it is in "The Country" the Russian River, a resort community just one hour from the San Francisco bay area, used by city dwellers to escape the cold City summer, or the heat of the San Joaquin Valley. Since the cabin was built in 1915, you can imagine the outdoors was the place to spend hot summer evenings. No air conditioning! That still is the case, and the decks are encircled by 400 year old redwood trees which act as a shade umbrella keeping the house temperature as moderate as possible. i.e. 85 degrees in the house, 109 degrees outside - which were the temperatures of that weekend. Multiple fans are provided for cooling off. We enjoy the music at the Roadhouse, sitting on our own deck just above the venue. It takes place on Saturday night; sometimes it's the Unauthorized Rolling Stones, and you can hear "Mick Jaggar and Keith Richards" right in Rio Nido! Music stops at 10 pm. Pee Wee Golf is till 9, fri-sat nite. The house is cleaned professionally after each stay, and personally inspected and cleaned regularly. Spider webs do collect rapidly, and thirsty, hungry ants can travel into the house; we have ant traps placed strategically to collect the wayward insects. The house is lit to present a cozy atmosphere; and, to make it easier to turn the lights on and off, the lamps and fixtures are connected with extension cords. You only have to turn or flip one switch and most of the lights in the rooms turn on. The road to the house IS narrow, built in 1900 for smaller cars. Then it was model T's not SUVS. The parking deck will safely park two cars. Based on the hundreds of positive reviews we have received about our home in "the woods", this review strikes us as curious, for on many occasions we get to meet our guests, which we did this weekend, and the comment "it's way better than the pictures" is a recurring compliment we receive, from "hipsters" living in SF, to visitors from as far away as Northern Ireland. We love the Russian River and are proud of our home and neighborhood. You can bike, hike, kayak, canoe, zip line, have gourmet food at the gastronomically delicious restaurants in Guerneville, and drink fabulous wine crafted at the numerous Russian River Valley boutique wineries, or sit and watch for shooting stars from the deck. Come and visit our home in the Magical Valley of the Moon. Literally, hundreds of guests have and said they loved it!! You will too.
