About this property

Gorgeous Secluded Treehouse with Spectacular Views

Beautiful, secluded and truly remote, redwood lined Treehouse atop a hill with unbelivable spectacular views even from the master shower! It is comfortable for any type of visitor to the Monterey Peninsula - 2 families or group of friends stay comfortably.

The master bed has en-suite bathroom & is separated from 3 other bedrooms & 2 other bathrooms by a large living room. The house is quiet & relaxing and has great energy as it is surrounded by nature. It's cozy in the winter with its wood burning stove and gas fireplace & fun in summer with a sun-scaped deck to hang out on warm summer nights! In the cozy winter season, we have fire roaring in the woodburning stove for you upon your arrival!

This property has over 350 five star reviews on the other major site.

There is a large deck off the living room with a fancy fire pit and stand up handmade wood bar next to a gas bbq. There are darts for your amusement and a gas firepit to hang out and drink wine or have coffee near. Heat lamps are available on the deck for any chilly nights.

Big screen TV is located in one of the living rooms with a wood burning stove and an uber comfy couch. The drawers under the TV are STOCKED FULL of DVDs and there are retro Atari and Space Invaders gaming systems! Old School! We even just recently upgraded to Starlink Satellite so the internet is lightning fast.

In the second living room is another large comfy couch and a gas fireplace for ambiance with more spectacular valley views. The master has an en-suite with dual shower heads - and yes a view from the shower - and a door out to the deck. The back three bedrooms are spacious and well appointed with views and two of the rooms have access to a private deck. The yellow room - as we call it - is full of board games for any player. Two of the three bathrooms are newly remodeled and the other has a tub for a soak. Bathrooms are all stocked for your needs with cotton balls, Q-tips, towels, shampoo, lotion, face wipes, etc. All beds have down comforters, electric blankets, and comfy mattresses. The comforter covers are all Belgian flax linen to make you feel well taken care of and special.

The kitchen is stocked with all you need - all the dishes, pots and pans, wine glasses, double oven, gas stove, microwave, coffee maker, french press, blender, tea kettle....and a little extra like tea, coffee, popcorn, condiments and spices. There is even a fully charged boom so you can play your tunes!

Out back is a smoker and charcoal BBQ with benches and camping chairs for marsh-mellow roasting. Many reports of a deer family that wanders the property to further entertain and our lone Ferrel kitty may come say hello.

Like to hike? You can hike up the hill right out of your driveway or head down the hill into the park for a hike to the waterfall trail as this property borders Garland Park in Carmel Valley. When the rain is flowing, so is the waterfall! Spectacular!

In Carmel Valley Village, which is a 7 min down the hill from the house or 2.5 mile walk, are many restaurants and wine tasting rooms. You can park and walk from one end to the other or end up at a kid friendly park. We have a sushi restaurant in town that just knocks it out of the park or Plaza Linda for excellent Mexican food. There is even Thai food that will wow you for sure. If you just want standard American fare, try Trailside. The Running Iron is our local bar with good burgers. Have time to fancy it up? About 10 minutes away is Bernardus Lodge which has some of the best mixologists on the entire peninsula. And peppered everywhere in Carmel Valley village are tons of wine tasting rooms.

This house is in Carmel Valley. Of course you are 20 minutes from Carmel by the sea, 25 to Monterey and the same to pebble beach. If you want a spectacular hour drive along breathtaking hwy 1, head to Big Sur.

We take great pride in making you feel welcome and ensure you have what you need. We truly welcome you to our home and hope that you enjoy making memories there. We are available during your stay if you need anything - just a message or call away.

**This house is not a typical city house where you can walk to 711 or order uber eats or set the heater to 80 degrees 24 hours a day. Instead, its a cozy woodburning cabin with baskets of DVDs, comfortable couches, and a closet full of board games with views to die for. This is a place to make and enjoy amazing home cooked meals and memories with loved ones. You will enjoy the home if its right for you. Main heater source is the woodburning stove (wood provided) with heater as a backup and to takeoff the edge while the stove does it’s magic. In the summer, its shorts on the deck with wine time! There are no curtains so unless you want to wake up with the sun use one of the sleep eye covers provided. Time to unplug and relax!"

Firm rule: 7 people max. There are beds for only 7 and sleeping on the couch is not allowed. Absolutely no pets. If you have a service animal the deposit is $3000 as that is what it will take to refinish the hardwood floors after claw scratches.

Owner will be on property as required by Monterey county. Please call for details. 831xxx917yyy3835…

Short family vacation

Location was perfect for our family. We were unlucky with the weather so we really appreciated the wide variety of board games and plenty of firewood. Morning times we were treated to deer, wild turkeys and even a woodpecker as we enjoyed our coffee. We had a cosy stay

What a view!

This rental is perfect for a family or 3 couples. Plenty of room, large kitchen, big dining room table…all the amenities. All pics on listing are exactly what you’ll find. A steep, winding road up but well worth the trip..quiet, secluded and great sunrises and sunsets from trail behind property.

View from on high

An adventure driving up the road to the property, but worth the trip. As advertised, great view. Home extremely well equipped. Would e Be good to note spices, coffee and more will be in the house. Only issue we had was some electrical. Couldn’t figure out how/where to turn on some lights and at least one outlet in back bedroom did’t work. All minor items when considering a great stay.

Carmel cozy Treehouse

We thoroughly enjoyed the treehouse. The views were fabulous!! The house was very comfortable and clean, with all the amenities you need. The wild life was all over. It was very cool to see. The VRBO description mentions a hot Tub, but there wasn’t one. The one lane road to the house was a little sketchy. Overall, it’s a wonderful place to stay. Make sure to Grab groceries ahead of time so you don’t have to go up and down one lane street more than you have to.

Great view!

We had a really lovely time at the Treehouse with family and friends. It is a unique property with great views and close to spectacular hiking. It is a bit remote, at the end of a narrow winding road, but that was not a problem for us as the reward was worth it, quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed feeding the wood stove, which was needed to warm the place up in the mornings. Great place to stay!

Don't stress out about the drive to the place....it's easier than they say!!

With a wee-bit of communication issues in the beginning, the owners have done a wonderful job of creating a space that is EXCELLENT for families or friends to communicate and reestablish relationships. It has everything you'd need so bring your essentials and food and just relish in the quietness and wonderful views. It's a gem that needs to be discovered by as many as possible.
