About this property

Sweeping Views, Private Deck, Outdoor Spa, Unit #2

A Secluded Hilltop Studio with Stargazing & Wildlife

If you're seeking peace, privacy, and a deep connection with nature—this is your sanctuary. Just a mile up a winding, scenic (and slightly bumpy) paved road off Lucas Valley, you'll find our spacious hillside property tucked into the forest, offering tranquility, wildlife, and awe-inspiring star-filled skies.

Private Guest Studio + Outdoor Oasis
You’ll be staying in a large, light-filled studio at the lower level of the house with its own entrance, high-speed WiFi, and a private deck with sweeping views. The deck is furnished with luxurious outdoor seating, perfect for lounging under the sun or enjoying the sounds of the forest.

Spa Features
Hot tub under the stars (just 24 steps from your door)
Cold plunge and outdoor shower for the brave and invigorated
Sauna access available upon request (reservation required and $45 additional fee)

Inside Your Space
New Casper memory foam mattress with sumptuous linens
Microwave, mini-fridge, drip coffee maker, and stocked tea & coffee station
Essentials like plates, utensils, and glassware for simple meals (note: no full kitchen)

Optional twin bed available—please request in advance

Well-behaved pets welcome

Unforgettable Moments
Whether you're soaking in the hot tub while hawks circle above, stargazing on a moonless night, or simply savoring the stillness—this place will restore you.

A Note on Setting
Although just a short drive from town, the property feels remarkably remote and serene. It’s nestled up a twisty, wooded drive—beautiful and secluded. While the main house is above, we are a quiet household and deeply respect guests' privacy. You may hear ambient house sounds. Also, there is another guest unit on the property.

We look forward to welcoming you.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a patio and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a microwave, a refrigerator, and a coffee maker. Change of towels is available on request.

We stayed here after backpacking, and it was the perfect place in the area to stay the night. The sauna was very nice and everything was clean. I would recommend driving to and from during the day if you are not used to windy roads. Would stay here again!

Tranquil property surrounded by nature

The property is nestled into a tranquil hillside surrounded by trees and wildlife with easy access to hiking trails and adorable nearby towns with great places to eat. The unit we stayed in was clean and well-appointed and extremely comfortable. The spa area is shared but we never encountered others. We had a wonderful and relaxing stay.

Surprise guests

The property location is beautiful and secluded. And, it was advertised as peaceful and quiet . However, we were surprised when young children arrived. They were noisy and did hinder us from using the hot tub/spa as much as we would have liked.

I so appreciated the quiet and the views. The space helped hold on to quietude after having ended a meditation retreat. The hosts were accessible, helpful and warm.

Beautiful remote location and great deck. My map indicated the road was on the north side of the highway. Wrong, Google Maps got me there.

Quiet, peaceful, relaxing

Very quiet, peaceful, felt remote but was only an hour away from me. The private deck was wonderful, would have loved an umbrella on the deck to enjoy the outdoors but with some shade. Room was very comfortable, lots of space, and the view was incredible. I brought my dog, which I love they have that as an option. The listing said the pet fee was $30, but I was charged $45. I don’t mind the extra $15, but thought it was a bit tacky to charge me more than what was listed. Felt like they were nickel and dime-ing me a little. But, overall happy with my stay, would probably stay again.

Perfect Getaway from City Life

We were dying to get out of the city and Robert and Beth's home was the perfect spot to stay. The studio has a large patio with an amazing view of the treeline. I spent an hour every morning starting the day with yoga and coffee as the sun rose. It was truly magical. Our main goal was to spend as much time in nature as possible and there are so many great options for hikes nearby if you enjoy hiking but want a peaceful retreat at the end of the day with all the amenities lacking when you camp, come here! The road up the way is rough as stated in the directions, but go slow and you can avoid the worst of the pits.

Serene Getaway

It was a joy to stay at Elizabeth's and Robert's place. The spacious rental had windows with views of the beautiful natural setting, and the private phenomenal deck looked out at ridges of trees in every direction. The hot tub was a welcome respite, too! We hope to take back home and hold onto some of the regenerative and restorative feelings absorbed through our short stay. And we are frog enthusiasts... so happy to listen to their calls!
