Beautiful Forest Hideaway - Hot Tub, Trees, Views and Privacy
Baumhaus is the German word for treehouse - and that's what it feels like when you're at Baumhaus - looking through the windows or off the deck into the incredible redwood trees. The original cabin (upper level) is traditional, striking, cedar Lincoln log construction while the lower level with 2 bedrooms, bathroom, and another living room were added later. An exterior staircase carries you from the upper deck to the lower deck where you'll love lounging, BBQ-ing , dining outside, and soaking in the hot tub!
There are so many spaces to gather with friends and family - inside and outside. The cozy upstairs living room features a woodstove and dining area closest to the kitchen. The downstairs living room includes a flat screen TV with Roku and ample seating. And when the weather is good, you'll want to be outside! Surprisingly, Baumhaus gets more sun than most homes in the redwood forest. Not to mention the perfect space for stargazing! You'll love the sense of serenity and connection to nature during your stay.

Heat Source: Central heat with a Nest thermostat to control each level of the house. There's also a woodstove in the upstairs living room - please bring your kindling and firewood.
A/C: The house does not have air conditioning. Being near the coast, the night time temps drop and just opening some windows is usually enough to cool the house.
Road and Driveway: Baumhaus is located in rural West Sonoma County where roads can be steep and winding. The road to the house is a narrow, one-lane country road - you may need to pull over for oncoming traffic. It is, in spots, steep with sharp turns, and the road is paved but not necessarily smooth. Confirmed guests are sent detailed driving directions.
Stairs: There are no stairs from the main parking area to the upper level of the house (with two bedrooms, full bathroom, kitchen and common areas). There are exterior stairs to the lower level of the house with the other two bedrooms, full bathroom and common area. There are not interior stairs between the two levels. Please view the floorplan for greater details.
Fencing: None of the yard is fenced but the upper and lower decks on the back of the house are enclosed.
Common Amenities not included: This house provides YouTubeTV, Roku and Chromecast instead of traditional cable TV service.
Proximity to wineries: There are several tasting rooms in downtown Guerneville (8.4 miles from the house) and more than you can count in a short driving distance.
Nearest River Beach: There are several river beaches with public access, but the easiest close one is at the Monte Rio Public Beach - 4.4 miles from the house.
Nearest Ocean Beach: The closest ocean beaches are in Jenner - just less than 8 miles from the house.

Check in was easy, arrival/driving instructions were accurate and helpful, and host was very responsive. Home had all the basics we needed (tp, coffee filters, bath towels), and wanted (books, games, local visit info). Home was beautiful and clean, just as described. My only wish is that I had booked for more days!

Majestic home in the trees
We are regular visitors to the Russian River area, and have camped, rented homes and RVs, this home was a top location for our family stay.The main living area has a large window looking out at the redwoods and river valley. The 2 decks provide privacy as well as plenty of space to spread out, read a book or play a game. The hot tub was a hit, especially for late night soaks.The kitchen was fully stocked, providing all the cookware and supplies we needed for our family meals. The beds were comfortable and cozy.Probably my favorite feature was the lack of a television in the main gathering area. There is a 'family room' television in the downstairs, but no distractions upstairs.The home is about 10 minute drive from Monte Rio, and about 25 minutes to Guerneville. The Monte Rio community beach is a great location to enjoy a good float in the river.

Excellent secluded house in the trees
Very nice and clean property. It was very convenient having a small fridge downstairs so guests didn’t need to climb stairs at night. Very nice deck with a great view. Didn’t use hot tub but looked very clean. In woods but easy to find and close to river beaches and restaurants.

Gorgeous location
The cabin is cozy and really convenient to scenery on the coast, the Russian River, and a fairly fast drive to the Bay Area too. We especially loved the helpfulness of the guides in the cabin, using the Bluetooth speakers while we cooked, and the big dining table.

Gorgeous Place!
We loved the Baumhaus! It's a beautiful home, loaded with amenities. Overlooking redwoods from all the windows and deck is spectacular, and the house is conveniently laid out, so if one part of the group are likely to be up late and others up early it works nicely--almost like having two apartments. Since all other features were great, we were surprised to find that all window screens except in the bathroom and kitchen had been removed, so there was no way to open bedroom windows for cool night air, except to invite mosquitos in. Since the Baumhaus doesn't have A/C, this is quite a problem in summer heat! Additionally (though we've been assured these problems are being fixed) the kitchen cabinet doors were sticky to the touch, and the outdoor furniture cushions were not clean. Nightly price should be lowered until these problems are resolved.

Treetop getaway
Amazing picture windows make you feel like you’re in the forest. No complaints! Visitors should note that the road leading to the driveway is very steep, confident drivers only.

Beautiful spot in the forest. Floating in the jacuzzi looking at the trees and listening to the birds was my favorite part. Excellent location between the coast and Guerneville. Comfy beds, lots of games and books, extra towels and blankets. We will come back!

Wonderful forest get-away
Tucked away outside Guerneville, this is a very nice home with an unusual layout. Great outdoor seating area as well if it's a sunny day on the coast.
