Located between 3 of some of the most beautiful National Parks (1 hour from Lassen Volcanic National Park, 3 hr from Redwood National Park and 3 hr from Crater Lake National Park). We want you to feel at home in our peaceful forest cabin. The extent of our interaction is up to you, but we and/or our housekeeper will be available as needed to field questions or troubleshoot. We'll send you our house manual prior to your arrival, so you will know exactly what to expect. For your convenience we have provided a video playlist that is jam packed with information and tutorials that will be your go-to for all questions and how-tos around the house. We recommend that you pre-download this playlist to your YouTube app, just in case, for example, the power goes out, you will have a guide to potentially get it back on. You can find this linked in the document we send over to you prior to check in. The Treehouse is on a gated road, where there are only 3 other houses on the lane. You’ll feel at one with nature as you sit out the deck and see only trees (and maybe a deer or two) between you and Shasta Lake. Driving to The Treehouse is simple - we aren’t far off of I-5. There is plenty of space to park your vehicles and if you need boat parking, please contact us for specific arrangements. There isn’t any public transportation that can get you here. Managing Expectations: The "Treehouse" is a wonderfully peaceful cabin retreat, a place to come and relax and enjoy nature. The location is beautiful, quiet, and somewhat remote. There is limited-no cell service. We do miraculously have internet in the middle of the forest! But, because of our remote location, don’t expect supersonic speeds. Things should load, but just may take a bit longer than you are used to. You came to the forest to get away from it all anyways, right? :) Also, please keep in mind you’ll be staying in the forest, sharing the area with beautiful wildlife, birds, insects, and the occasional black bear. Be sure not to leave any food, drinks, or garbage in your car, and keep pets leashed and close by while outdoors. For entertainment, please note: We don’t have a smart TV, but our TV is connected to a DVD player - you can always bring a DVD of your choice. Or you can pre-download some movies and connect your laptop via HDMI cable, please make sure to bring your own HDMI cable and an adaptor (if you use a Macbook). Please note that the Apple TV is no longer available. Fees Disclosure: - Guests must select either a refundable security deposit or an optional damage waiver for stay protection. - A pet fee applies for approved, pre-registered pets at $59 per pet. - Acceptance of our rental agreement and applicable fees are required to receive access to the property. No exceptions. Vacation Rental Permit #: STR 25-0040 Shasta County Tax ID: 449 - The deck is a fun place to hang out, but it’s very high up, so obviously no climbing and children should be supervised to ensure their safety. - The forest is as fragile as it is breathtaking. Leave it better than you found it :) Be mindful of your footprint, and please do your part to respect and preserve this special place. Don't harm the trees, dump waste, litter, or burn anything. - We ask that you keep your kitchen waste inside as much as possible. This is because of the local bear population and their messy habit of knocking over garbage cans and dragging bags down the hill. - As the registered guest, you're required to share all of the above information (and all information in the house manual) with others in your party and take responsibility for any damage(s) they might incur during your stay. - For security, we have cameras mounted facing the side of the house and the driveway. If you're uncomfortable with this, please get in touch before your booking so that we can make an alternative arrangement. - You can make it easy for us to approve your request by introducing yourself, telling us who you're bringing along and assuring us that you've read these house rules. Fees Disclosure: • Guests must select either a refundable security deposit or an optional damage waiver for stay protection. • A pet fee applies for approved, pre-registered pets at $59 per pet • Acceptance of our rental agreement and applicable fees are required to receive access to the property.

The A-Frame Treehouse is what you make it, come in with empty expectations & you won’t be disappointed, if you’re looking for anything in particular you might find yourself disappointed though. Property needs maintenance, but can still beauty & peace in the rustic simplicities/isolation.
