We had a great time!....even though it didn’t quite match our fantasy and value expectations. It is in “the city”—which makes it special to even have such a thing in a little patch of woods but with the city comes noise (I-75 traffic hum; leaf blowers; garbage truck pick-up; barking dogs….) And… although it was amazing to lie in a bed over a creek and look up into the trees—you could not see stars on a clear night due to light pollution. On the other hand, if you can lower your expectations a notch or two, and the price/value mismatch doesn’t matter too much, it does fit the almost universal fantasy of living in a magical tree house. And we were serenaded by a Barred Owl for about 5 minutes---that was special!

Katie and Peter have a gem hidden away in the city of Atlanta. Peter has created a magical place that makes you feel relaxed and inspired. My husband and I were able to unwind at the treehouse, enjoying the sunshine, birds, and beautiful trees. The host's style and artistic eye for decorating are a splendid addition to the already beautiful landscape. The Treehouse is conveniently located near great restaurants, and we enjoyed a number of delicious places recommended by the host. The weather was a bit cooler than expected, so some extra wool blankets we brought from home came in handy. The only thing that takes away from the beauty, peace, and solitude of the experience is the occasional walk to the bathroom, located at the main house.

Peter was an absolutely incredible host. From the introduction, stories, history, and passion for nature and this property, my boyfriend and I had a lovely experience at the treehouse. The decor and ambiance was serene, and the coffee and tea in the mornings was just divine. Peter was incredibly accomodating, and the treehouse provided such a sweet retreat for us. Even with temperatures dropping, we were able to use the heated mattress pad to stay quite cozy! The only thing to be aware of is the time of year -- staying in early spring, I don't think all the trees had greened as much as they must later in the season, so it wasn't necessarily as "secluded" from neighboring houses as we thought it'd be. With a few houses in sight from the treehouse, we decided to change and such in the private room Peter has in his home for guest use, just so we didn't feel too open and exposed. Still, an absolutely lovely escape we hope to return to!

Absolutely magical! We were instantly charmed with the place the minute we got out of our car. Peter gave us a tour of the treehouse and our private bathroom, off-handedly telling us he'd built the treehouse himself. And the guy certainly has some serious carpentry skills and imagination, mixed with attention to detail - all of which make this B&B a treat to explore. Peter and Kate are amiable hosts who also respect your privacy. They want you to fall in love with the treehouse as much as they have - and you will. They discreetly bring your breakfast to you in the morning at the time you ask, and leave you to enjoy your surroundings. (When Peter says you won't be bothered by bugs, believe him. It's crazy but true.) Everything about the treehouse is truly magical. Stay for more than a day if you can. You'll be hard-pressed to find anywhere else as delightful as this.

What a magical weekend in this Atlanta Tree house, which was located in a beautiful part of Atlanta. . It was truly an unforgettably magical experience. I hope we get to come back soon!

The treehouse somehow managed to exceed my already high expectations. I'd scrolled through the listing many times and read all the glowing reviews, but none of them compared to the actual experience, which was truly surreal in the best possible way. Peter was a fantastic host, and my girlfriend and I spent way more time in the treehouse than we'd originally anticipated, simply because we didn't want to leave. 12 out of 10 stars.

What a truly magical experience. So relaxing and much needed getaway weekend! Peter is an immaculant host! Highly recommend the treehouse!!! :)

I don't have enough good things to say about our stay. Peter was so welcoming and helpful and engaging. He went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was everything that we wanted. Sipping coffee each morning underneath 160 year old pine trees was an amazing experience and the serenity of the treehouse was an almost religious experience. If you're looking for a place to reset your mind, this is the place. I'm already trying to figure out when to go back.

Where do you start? The Joshua Tree House was pure heaven. Every little detail was thought of making it the perfect hideaway. It's comfortable, clean, and beautifully decorated. We loved every minute of our stay & are already planning a return trip. Sara & Rich were wonderful hosts. They responded quickly to my request. Sent detailed emails & beautifully designed PDF files on what to expect from our stay along with things to see & do in the area. It was easy & seemless from start to finish. Thank you for allowing us to experience & share in your slice of paradise. Until the next adventure...

This house is like walking into my Pinterest board! You know the kind, the one that you dream of, where you are constantly inspired and in awe. The oasis That Sara and Rich have created added so much to our trip to Joshua Tree. It is exactly as described and perhaps more so. Thank you Sara and Rich for sharing your beautiful home and for the stellar list of things to do! Everything was above and beyond our expectations for our little getaway.

The Joshua Tree House was positively dreamy. We stayed here for our wedding, which took place inside the Park, and could not have been happier. Each design detail was more delightful than the last, and all the little amenities-- cactus water in the fridge, a hand-steamer, the creamy body-wash felt luxurious. Truly, this is one of those very few Airbnbs you don't want to review because once the word is truly out, you know it will be booked solid for three years and you'll never get to return. Sara & Rich, thank you for opening your home up to us. We had a magical time, and will always have sweet wedding memories associated with the JT House. Truly, wondrous.

Great, easy communication and everything was perfect.

Excellent communication, great place walking distance to town, hot tub a huge bonus. Great stay.

Very well thought out guide to the house provided for guests. Great location to the park and to town. We had a great time here!

The Joshua Tree house is as amazing as it described and pictured. We stayed with 2 couples and a toddler and got a really good taste of life in the desert. The place is a real retreat and an inspiration. Hosts are very kind. We will come back one day.

Cynthia was a fantastic and welcoming host! My girlfriend and I stayed for three nights over Memorial Day weekend and really enjoyed our stay. The house is quiet and extremely clean and features a fireplace, plenty of porches for reading out of the sun, a great jacuzzi, and a nice kitchen. The location is a short drive from the park entrance and also conveniently close to restaurants, grocery stores, and the brilliantly odd Sky Village swap meet. Thanks, Cynthia!

Our visit up to the Mushroom Dome was indeed, memorable. Kitty is a fantastic host and sure has some interesting stories to share. The Mushroom itself was like it was represented in the online listing, so that was nice. The grounds and surrounding structures were a little more rustic than expected, but added to the adventure of it all. My boyfriend, Chad, and I went on the recommended hike up to the grass hut and climbing tree, which Chad climbed to the top even though it was raining that morning. Because of the weather, we weren't able to grill like originally planned but no biggie. Inside the Mushroom, everything was clean and tidy. The bathroom was well-equipped and large enough for two. When there, we hung out mostly upstairs and watched a movie or two from the DVD collection (They have Sound of Music!!! Chad said no.) We also cuddled on the deck during the night and listened to all the fantastic nature and talked about life. :) The humming birds, chickens, and goats are super cool. The road up to the property is pretty steep and narrow, so be prepared for that. It only took us about 10 min to get down to Aptos to grab some chicken and groceries. Anyway, it was loads of fun and so glad we came. Ask Kitty about the Sasquatch... she knows her stuff.

My one nite stay at mushroom was impressively wonderful! Kitty and Michael were hospitable, considerate and kind! The house was located in tranquil surroundings. The goat milk Kitty offered us was really tasty. I have recommended it to my friends!

I stayed at the Mushroom Dome with my mom who had never stayed at an Airbnb before. The magical dome and surrounding area exceeded our expectations, and Kitty was such a welcoming and great hostess. I will definitely stay here again and would recommend this to anyone lucky enough to have a chance to reserve this place!

Kitty was very sweet and hospitable and the cabin is really quite charming and cozy. This is a great place to stay while exploring the Santa Cruz area.

Great hosts, great setting, and a wonderfully unique experience in the famous Mushroom Dome cabin. Thanks Kitty and Michael!

I stayed in the Mushroom with my girlfriend for only one day, and it was a pretty magical one. Like most reviews say, Kittie greeted us warmly and showed us the cabin, then showed us around the property, introduced us to her three friendly goats, and to her beautiful chickens! She brought us a jar of fresh goats milk, which we drank, and put in our coffee and oatmeal in the morning. She showed us where to walk around the property, and told us some things to do in town. The cabin was stocked with everything you'd need, including cooking utensils, spices and olive oil. The shower was the most surprising part - nicer than my shower at home, certainly! The cabin had a comfortable, cozy, sort of magical feel, and I'm sorry we couldn't stay an other day. I only wish I'd gotten to thank her on our way out!

Kitty was a wonderful host! We had a great time in the cabin and would love to come back!

A breath-taking place. I couldn't have been happier with my stay here. Great hikes around the area, and the hummingbirds is definitely worth checking out!

What an inspiring, peaceful escape! The cozy cabin was even more wonderful than I imagined it to be. Very clean and equipped with everything you need for a nice, unplugging experience. A day of volunteering at the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center, gardening/harvesting was a sweet bonus! (Only a 20 minute drive through the beautiful bohemian highway). Gold Coast bakery in Duncans Mills was delicious too. Rachel was very kind with sending detailed information about the cabin and surroundings. Overall, lovely stay. Highly recommend : )

Such a perfect getaway

My (new) husband and I spent a few fabulous nights in Rachel's sweet cabin to unwind after our wedding. The cabin is cozy and quiet, and the kitchen set up is perfect if you want to stay in and cook. Shelves are lined with cookbooks, vintage dishes, and other sweet homey touches. The cabin is warmed in the winter with space heaters and a stove, and we had an amazing time just relaxing under blankets and in the quiet. Thank you so much for having us, Rachel!! We loved your place and there's a good chance we will be back some day if you'll have us. :)

My boyfriend and I are from Los Angeles, and we are in a music project together called Dstnce. We wanted to find a place in the woods to escape and write new music, and this cabin was such a lovely, quiet retreat for us to hole up in and really get some real writing done without the distractions of the city. Really cute and cozy, well curated with vintage knick knacks, board games, a great book selection, and DUH the record player was such a score. In hind sight we would have brought a bunch of our records to listen to along with Rachel's great selection of Bob Dylan, Fleetwood Mac, Billy Joel, The Beatles...RESPECT for adding this touch. The fireplace is also nice, but you have to keep the fire going the whole time if you want the place to stay warm, which was fine by us! The smell of wood fire is a must when staying in a cabin. Kitchen was well outfitted, and the back deck/view was incredible. I totally recommend this place to anyone trying to truly get away. Thanks for the hospitality, Rachel!

Rachel was very attentive and responsive. Her place matched the description exactly. We really enjoyed the quaint and quite coziness of Rachel's cabin and surrounding area. A nice place for a little getaway.

Lovely cabin in a lovely setting. Rachel was always quick to respond with any questions or concerns and very easy to work with. Definitely plan to return!

Where to start? My 2 day airbnb trip to this a-frame was nothing short of incredible. Very close to the beautiful town of Jenner (cliffs that meet the ocean, seal breeding bay, and the best damn sunset the US has to offer), a quaint diner, and a scenic drive from Russian river brewing. the cabin itself is remarkable, the detail is perfected down to the book collection and glassware. cozy bed, in-ground shower (what!? right?), large back porch. all of our needs were met, plenty of towels, blankets, firewood, and coffee for us. it was an absolute pleasure, and such a magical place. Very hard to part when we left. Rachel was very easy to get ahold of and great to communicate with. Next time we journey out towards northern California again I will not hesitate to be back at this spot! I do recommend driving to this location in daylight, since there are a few tight corners along the mountain. Skate park nearby if you're into it. A million "thank you"s to Rachel, you made our vacation, tenfold.

Rachel's place was utterly charming -- exactly what we were looking for. The location was perfect -- right in the woods in a quiet meadow, and a convenient 10-minute drive from both Guerneville and the beach. The cabin itself was clean and tidy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and even included a guitar, ukekele, well-stocked library, and record player + extensive record collection (Paul Simon! Neil Young! Beatles!). The bed was extremely comfortable, too (and hard to get out of). We ate breakfast in the sun on the porch. It was very easy communicating with Rachel and she was available via both email and text, although minimal communication aside from check-in information was required. Hope to stay at her cabin again as it was quite a memorable trip!

I don’t think I could sufficiently describe just how stunning and magical this AirBnB is! The Hobbit Hole is situated atop a hillside overlooking the Columbia River Gorge and is very much reminiscent of the Shire except in the magical PNW. Luxury and simplicity at its finest here! I spent hours taking in all the beautiful details from the beautiful wood slice flooring to the intricate design on the back of the door, to the beautiful wood vanity and driftwood sink and the wood detailing on the privy. Everything was so, so beautiful! The environmentalist in me was also giddy at the fact that my one night stay had very little environmental impact with all the lights and outlets being powered by the sun! A few things to consider: it is quite a trek up to the Hobbit Hole from the parking area, which definitely adds to the experience, but I didn’t really plan for this and brought a pretty decent sized cooler with wheels. Had my hubby been with me, I would have had him carry the cooler up, but it was a pretty monumental cooler drag for me up the hillside! haha! Worth the work out though, as I had turkey/cheese sandwich and salad for supper and lox on a bagel and strawberries for breakfast the next morning. I also brought my pup with me and he was in heaven! So much open space for him to run free, but I did encounter either a rattlesnake or a bull snake on our morning walk a little ways from the hobbit hole (my heart was in my throat so I didn’t get close) so I suggest keeping your fur babies on a leash if you do go out for walks around the hobbit hole. Just to be safe ;) Thank you so much Kristie & crew for answering all my questions and making my stay one I will never, ever forget! Hoping to come back to the Hobbit Hole (aka dreamiest AirBnB in all the land) with my husband soon! :)

Kristie is a creative genius! This home was everything I imagined and more. Closer to home than New Zealand, but just as magical. The attention to detail, cute surprises, and treats and hot cocoa bar were icing on the cake. Thank you for the hospitality and opening your doors to fellow hobbits!

Just magical! Absolutely loved it! Will be back! Thank you!!!

This was an absolutely charming venue, making us feel like we were literally in the shire. Kristie was an excellent and very responsive host. A very memorable experience.

This place was everything that we could have hoped. We brought our children and they loved it as well. It was a trip that they will remember forever.

This was one of the most amazing trips I've ever been on. Secluded in some of the most beautiful hills in Washington, this little hobbit hole was a pice of heaven. You roll up, along a dusty dirt road, with civilization about 20 minutes behind you. You twist and turn up the hills until suddenly, a small, quaint wooden sign welcomes the guest hobbits to their little shire. The quality of the hobbit hole is so nice and the pictures on AirBnB (which are beautiful) don't reveal the high levels of craftsmanship and care that went into this beautiful little house. You open the stunning, round door into a truly high class experience. Amazing hand crafted furniture, stunning views, tons of little books and games to make your stay comfortable and fun. When we arrived, there were some cookies waiting on the table, wrapped in a tea towel, and we promptly made some hot coco (provided by the host). We turned on the fire and just relaxed. The bathroom is stunning - with a large wooden tub and views to die for. You wouldn't know the house was off the grid (solar power + propane). Overall, I'm just so tickled with this trip and consider it an experience for a lifetime.

Perfect secluded get away. We went during a snow storm but luckily we brought enough food and water to hunker down for a few days. There is a jug with water inside as well but we definitely recommend treating this kind of like glamping.

Amazing experience. I would definitely recommend. Everything is very detailed and we had an amazing time. :)

The itHouse weekend in the desert was even better than we had imagined. The house is a modern architectural gem, where consideration to its materials and construction was well thought of. You feel that you are one with the surroundings whilst there. The sunset and sunrises are breathtaking especially when all you can hear is the occasional bird up above. Linda's directions and advice was spot on and settling in was super easy. Everything you need is there, just bring yourself and relax. I also recommend grabbing a bite and a drink at Pappy's and Harriets in Pioneertown only 15mins away. Overall a fantastic weekend away!

Blown Away by the idea of the place about a day later I realized it was real and I was there and half of my time was gone. It was the best rest and most peaceful time i've had and some time. This place was the grand finale for our honeymoon and i hyped it up so much as a surprise and it didn't disappoint. It's hard to believe that it does exist. Thanks Linda for making the itHouse I know I will return and send others

Magical!

This house is absolut treasure in a untouched inviriment. It's a treat and an esthetic gift. I had very special two night at the house for my birth day and will be returning back! Thank you for hosting and sharing your house!

A great stay, this is truely the most unique airbnb location ever. Its like being in a stanley kubrick movie, in a good way. beautiful, peaceful.

This was my second time at the Off-grid itHouse and my first time staying there - it was a wonderful visit. The house is beautiful, well stocked, and has spectacular views. Occasionally somebody drives up the road, but other than that you have the feeling of being out in the middle of nowhere. Being in a glass house at night in the middle of nothing can get a little scary - but that makes it even more fun. Don't plan on doing anything but reading, writing, and watching the sun, moon, and stars. Not sure why you would want to do much else. Note: The dirt road is really bumpy and you don't need an SUV to get out there, but you will definitely be more comfortable if you have one.

Linda's home is extraordinary and deserves all of the glowing reviews to date. From the secluded location and gorgeous external landscape, to the impeccable, minimalist design aesthetic of the interior, I would highly recommend this amazing place for a desert getaway. Beyond enjoying the panoramic views and hiking in the immediate vicinity, you don't need much else in the way of entertainment, but the house also boasts a thoughtful, well-stocked kitchen, a great book collection (particularly exciting selection if you too are a visual artist), board games, and two different fireplaces. Linda is a gracious host, responding quickly and providing a nice welcome packet of info for the house and surrounding area. We were sad to leave, and hope to visit again.

Linda is very nice and made out stay very comfortable, easy and amazing, the instructions are simple. You cannot see anyone in your view, it is paradise, the most beautiful house ever built, specially as it is all Eco friendly, we need more houses like this! Definitely one of, or possibly the most beautiful house I have stayed in. I highly recommend it to everyone who comes to joshua Tree/Pioneer town.

Gorgeous place and incredible host. We loved staying there. Wish to go there again with family. Thank you Denise for having us.

The silo cottage was perfect for our 3 year anniversary getaway. The accommodations were comfortable and the house was well thought out for the size. It did not feel small at all and the oversized windows in the bedroom were our favorite feature. Denise was nice enough to leave a bottle of bubbly in the fridge for us.

My boyfriend and I came to stay at the cottage for a romantic birthday weekend away. I could not imagine a more perfect location for such a trip. The cottage and surrounding property is absolutely magical, even in the winter! Everything looks as if it were straight out of a fairytale. The cottage was very clean, well stocked, comfortable, and the pellet stove made it perfectly warm despite the cold outside. Denise was a wonderful host, and took the time to make sure we had everything that we needed. She also had the best recommendations for local restaurants/activities on our stay- we enjoyed every place she told us about. Really, overall it was an absolutely fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend. We will definitely be back!

We had a great weekend at the Silo Cottage. Denise & Dennis are great host! The silo cottage is so intimate and romantic, although it's a tiny house but it got everything we need. The landscape is very beautiful and great for a morning walk. Before we left we also get a tour of the Gingerbread house which is also stunning!!

My wife and I stayed in the Honeymoon Silo and loved every single moment of it! Santarella is a magical place with beautiful, manicured gardens; peaceful and quiet surroundings, and wonderful hosts. Denise and Dennis were fantastic hosts; unobtrusive, kind, very amicable and very helpful - Denise had an assortment of recommendations of places for us to visit and dine. We have not stopped raving about our stay and sharing our experience with friends and family. We will DEFINITELY visit again. Thank you Denise and Dennis - Santarella is the little, whimsical and magic land of the Berkshires...

The silo cottage is a true hidden gem in the valley of the Berkshires. The attention to details, amenities, your chosen bottle of wine, and the tranquil accommodations is first class. The pictures, although amazing, don't do it justice. The perfect romantic getaway or the perfect place to relax with this me alone.

We felt that the place was a lot of fun yet comfortable and private. I'd like to return in the summer and bring my motorcycle to do some riding around the valley.

Loved our time at the Silo Getaway. A must do for any one with desires to try something different. Beautiful area. Beautiful grounds. Enthralling accomodations. Denise and Dennis made us feel welcome and offered very helpful suggestions on local eateries and routes for our bike rides. Already looking ahead for a return in the fall or winter.

This was just a magical place! The accommodations were amazing! The directions were perfect, just beware of the road leading up to the treehouse it is rocky, so just go slow. The bed is comfy, the shower is incredible, and the toilet with the sink as the bowl was the coolest!! You can see how much work and love was put into this tiny house. Towels, robes, shampoo/conditioner, brownies, and water was provided. What a great and amazing place! Thank you so much!!

Our host Kristie was incredible. Before my arrival, she sent me a nice email about things I should know about the treehouse as well as detailed instructions about how to get to the treehouse. She also gave us some ideas on places to eat in the area as well as some places to go see. I couldn't have been happier with the treehouse, it was impeccably decorated and perfectly nestled back into the forest for plenty of privacy. Inside was clean and cozy and the bed was super comfy. This treehouse was one of the cutest airbnb places I have ever stayed with so many well thought out little details. It was so fun to here the tree frogs at night and relax on the hanging bed below the treehouse. This was the perfect place to stay for an adventurous and fun loving couple, we will definitely be back. Thanks Kristie!

The tree house is truly a dream -- it's very secluded, relaxing and romantic. We also loved reading the book about how Kristie built the house herself.

What an amazing and delightful first experience at Airbnb ! Kristie's tree house is a paradise in the jungle! The entire space is well thought out: the comfy raised bed, fun activities & books bedside, rain-forest style hot shower with a jungle backdrop, hearty snacks, ample coffee and the many amenities (including after sun care lotion). Kristie's tree house is the "best of both worlds" - Luxury lodging in a very private jungle. Location is superb being 20 min away from the Volcano National Park, as well as great choices of food nearby (within 15 min drive). Kristie provides all the info you need prior to arrival and I cannot ask for better communications. Stay there even if you only have 1 night in the volcano area. We are so glad that we did ! Thank you Kristie for building & sharing this wonderful paradise.

This place is absolutely beautiful ! You have to go !!!!

This beautiful tree house was an absolute dream! It's even more gorgeous in person thanks to all of Kristie's decor and small touches. She has truly thought of everything--soft robes tucked into carved out spaces, local homemade treats, air plants dotting the shower. Her communication prior to our trip was also very thoughtful and helpful. We arrived at night and awoke in a sunny jungle paradise. It was a quick and easy jaunt to Volcanoes National Park and the house was a perfect stopover on our road trip around the island. My only regret is that we didn't spend more time in this intentionally built, awe-inspiring little piece of aloha. Make it part of your itinerary--you'll be just as enamored.

This treehouse is pure magic! It was lovely falling asleep to the sounds of the jungle and then waking up surrounded by trees! I wish we had more than one night here and hope to return someday!!! This is an experience you won't want to miss! Added bonus, it is conveniently located near the National Park. =D Thank you Kristie!

Who doesn't want to live out their childhood fantasy of living in a tree house, especially a tree house with so many beautiful upgrades that is eco-friendly to boot? This spot is truly a gem in the woods. It's quiet, secluded, and yet mere minutes from the National Park and the village. The bed was comfortable, the shower a warm welcome after a day of hiking, and the decor was inviting. Would highly recommend staying here! If you're quiet enough, you really will see the little pigs living in the woods, and maybe even some birds! It really is a gem and I would absolutely recommend it to everyone looking for a unique place to stay on the south side of the island.

We loved this place. It is sparse and simple in just the right way, with lots of nice little details. It can get warm in the late afternoon, but there's a big hammock in the shade. Jay was an excellent host too.

The place is amazing. The location in the desert is breathtaking and the cabin has everything you need to enjoy a chilled out stay. We had such a fantastic time staying here and hope to return.

My Husband and I had the most relaxing and wonderful time at Stephanie and Jay's Homesteader! The place was cozy and comfortable without being cluttered with personal belongings. There was an amazing selection of magazines to read, and a comfortable hammock to read them in! Book at least 3 nights to get the full effect of the beautiful and simple surroundings. We were so glad to have made a stop here and hope to come back one day.

We had a wonderful time staying here—Stephanie and Jay were wonderful to work with, the cabin is gorgeous, and taking a shower in their outdoor shower was one of the most satisfying things after a day of hiking in Joshua Tree. The stargazing is nothing to scoff at either!

Amazing! This cabin is so beautiful. It must be pointed out as it states clearly in the description that this is in the wilderness, so don't be surprised if you have to use a out-house or shower outdoors. We loved it! Totally refreshing and nice to breathe fresh air.

This place is a gem! :) really secluded and private but close to shops and Joshua tree park. The view is amazing. Loved it!

Great little place. Nightly soundtrack of desert wind and coyotes was coma inducing. J and S were polite and available while letting me enjoy the solitude. Plus this place is 10 minutes from Joshua Tree NP!

Quietest place I've ever been in my life. Really interesting desert landscapes and critters. Pretty bare-bones but nice amenities, including artesian well drinking water, small electric heater, and lots of bedding. Outdoor shower was really cool and relaxing. Jay is very knowledgeable about the natural environment and also the man-made one: he recommended some awesome restaurants that you just have to check out, like Pappi and Harriett's in Pioneer Town. He's a very laid back, nice dude so you will feel quite welcome. Just watch out for the snakes!!

We had a great time at Ryan&Darnie's chalet! It's quite, clean and comfortable. We would highly recommend it for families and groups.

Amazing place to stay at. Has everything for your cooking needs. Big backyard . Host where very nice. Family loved it here.

We had a wonderful stay during a family ski trip to South Lake. Great location to get to Heavenly, stores and restaurants and the house was cozy and well-equipped. Perfect for apres-ski relaxing and family dinners. Ryan and Darnie were communicative and responsive. Highly recommend and hope to return!

The Lake Tahoe Chalet was perfect for us, two older active ladies looking to get away for a few days, staying in a safe location convenient to the Lake, hiking, birding, exploring the area, searching for Fall colors (Hope Valley nearby.) The home is very comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen; we loved having 2 full bathrooms; beds were comfortable; nothing that we couldn't figure out or needed that wasn't supplied. We would happily stay here again.

What a great place to stay. They were super responsive the few times I reached out with questions. The house is clearly set up in such a way that they want the people that stay there to have a wonderful time. Beautiful views just around the corner. The house is on a nice quiet road.

Nice place. Well equipped. Great owners. VERY solid value for money. Thanks for sharing your slice of heaven with everyone!!!

this was the perfect cabin seeing. the interior is beautiful and the furniture was awesome. everything you need to cook and plenty of dvds and games that entertained us and four kids since it rained the whole time. the hosts were quick to respond to any questions. well definitely be staying here in the future.

Ryan and Darnie's chalet was a perfect spot for a S. Lake Tahoe getaway. We would definitely consider coming back. The cabin was cozy and it had all the conveniences of home.

Amazing. Perfect. Couldn't have asked for a better host. The place was amazing. The dogs were the sweetest, cookies warm, tomatoes fresh from the garden and Chandler even helped fix my boyfriend's motorcycle! We can't wait to go back! 100% recommendation. Waking up in Carmel Valley was everything and more. Thank you again!!!

What a wonderful stay- I wish we had booked for two instead of the one night. I'm a city guy, haven't ever seen so many stars in my life! Great place to relax and unwind. Host was very very very helpful!

Tiger was an absolute gentleman, very helpful, loads of useful advice and a genuinely interesting guy! Also an excellent host who ensured we had everything we could need for our stay! The views from the tower were nothing short of breathtaking, on our last night we chose to sit and enjoy the views and some wine over going out for dinner! We stayed for just two nights and I don't think this was near enough, will definitely stay longer next time! The tower is brilliantly situated near Carmel and Monterey! Finally, we were almost put off by not having an ensuite bathroom, however, and luckily, we went for it anyway! The bathroom is a few seconds private walk from the tower, is very clean and well equipped! No problem at all! What a unique experience..... Thanks you!

Our stay at the tower was perfect. Chandler was a great host and accommodated us coming in a little late and gave us great tips on where to eat etc. the tower was so comfortable. Loved the bed with the fleece sheets. The view this morning watching the sunrise was perfect. Thanks again! Highly recommend.

Chandler was a great host, very friendly and welcoming and gave us some great tips and information about the area. The tower views are absolutely stunning! This is one of the best places I have ever stayed at. Inside the tower is anything you would need to make your stay comfortable. Would love to come back!

We had a great stay in the tower. Waking up to sunrises over the valley was so picturesque! We highly recommend staying here, just know that it is a little off the beaten path. Carmel Valley center has some great shops and restaurants (10 minutes away) and Carmel-by-the-Sea is only 15-20 minutes away. If you have sensitive animal allergies, this might not be the perfect place for you (or let the host know), because there there are dogs, horses and cats on the property. If you are traveling down the coast or looking for a home base near Carmel, this is a great one!

The water tower was perfect for me and my husband! It is located in beautiful Carmel Vally, close to Carmel, Monterey, and Big Sur. Chandler was so helpful in getting us set up at the Tower and with information about the area. There's a gorgeous hike walking distance from the Tower that we never would have known about without his guidance!

Tiger was a very attentive and welcoming host. If I had to choose anything to point out about the listing, it would be the view. It was breathtaking. Thanks to Tiger and his wife for making us feel comfortable and at home.

Another great stay! Can't wait for my next trip to LA! Enjoyed the new additions of a French press and the electric tea kettle for making our morning coffee. I feel lucky to have such a relaxing, convenient and beautiful place to stay. Dennis and Alex are terrific hosts.

The pool house is the perfect setting for a couple visiting LA. Dennis & Alex were so friendly and helpful! The pool house was perfect for us - wanting alone time in a peaceful setting. The space was very clean, tastefully decorated, and comfortable. The outdoor pool area was peaceful and quiet and had comfortable lounge chairs in shade or sun to read and relax in. The views were awesome. We went across LA for a couple of events, but the neighborhood had plenty to offer the rest of the time. We ate at a couple of cute old neighborhood restaurants within a few minutes of the house. Also, the new Americana shopping area and Galleria in Glendale was less than 10 min away, which offered a lot of trendy restaurants and upscale shopping. No need to sit in traffic! Dennis and Alex greeted us at beginning and end of our stay, but completely gave us our privacy in the middle. They messaged us to make sure we weren't in need of anything. They were the perfect hosts! We would definitely stay there again, and we are telling all our Texas friends about our wonderful experience!

You will not be disappointed! Everything as expected. Close to freeways and the city sights. Amazing views of NELA. Highly recommend. DNA are very accommodating and available.

This space was amazing and the hosts were incredibly nice and considerate!! We loved the dogs. The views are incredible. I HIGHLY recommend this place!!

This was our first time using Airbnb and we could not ask for a more perfect place to stay. The pool house is exactly what we needed. I love that we didn't have to worry about parking or safety with it being gated. And the views were breath taking!! In addition, it was a very private with our own private entrance and so quiet. The bed was super comfortable we slept like babies. We had everything we needed such as fresh towels, shampoo, conditioner and body wash. We had the true 5 star hotel experience.

The house and location were perfect for a stay in LA - very clean and nice. It was also very quiet and the privacy was great. The hosts were pleasant and helpful with any questions I had and communicated well. I highly recommend it.

Such a gorgeous way to spend our time in LA - great hosts and great place! We arrived in the evening and were greeted immediately (we were slightly insane after no sleep and 13 hr flight). The apartment was great and Dennis and Alex were on hand when we needed them. Fab pool which we had to ourselves throughout, well equip kitchen and nice bathroom. Comfy bed and cute private patio. We can't fault this place and would definitely stay again! Ps, very sweet dogs.

This place goes above and beyond what you see in the pictures! We could not have asked for a better stay. Alex and Dennis were terrific;) Incredibly hospitable and enjoyable to be around. The pool and everything were always kept up, the view was spectacular, and the vibe was amazing. Thank you Alex and Dennis!!! Luke Tuke & Mike Tike

I LOVED staying with Brenda. I was there three weeks for a yoga course and I felt totally at home. The apartment is gorgeous and spacious, so while the room is compact (but more than adequate for one), the roomy lounge, kitchen and dining area are wonderful. In a great location, minutes walk to Castro or Mission and in a stones throw of amazing bars and restaurants. Brenda is friendly, helpful and great company. Her pets are adorable too! Highly recommend staying here, I will next time I'm back in SF!

Stayed with Brenda for four nights and had a lovely experience as part of my transition into the city. Brenda's place was is super cozy and full of stunning light. Location is also stellar! I wish I was there for longer! Thank you Brenda!

Brenda was an amazing host. I instantly felt comfortable and knew that I could contact her for any assistance. The room was just as described and perfect for anyone traveling alone. I loved the area of the place, so close to everything. Delores park was just a short walk away. Transportation was very convenient as well. I will definitely stay here again when I return to San Francisco. Thank you Brenda for making my stay so wonderful!!

Perfect little spot to spend a few nights in San Francisco -- centrally located, cozy, and friendly host. Would definitely recommend.

Brenda was very friendly and accommodating! Would definitely stay again.

Brenda, Thank you for my wonderful stay in my old neighborhood. I failed to mention bc we started talking about all sorts of things, but I used to live right on dorland st and it brought me back to such happiness. Give boo and moomoo kisses, and lmk when you're in ny! 3 C

Brenda and her place are great. Everything was as expected from the photos and description. It's a great location and I really apreciated how organized she was, supplying maps and recommendations for things to do, places to eat etc. I would definitely recommend a stay w/ Brenda.

What a fantastic stay. Brenda's place certainly is 'Perfectly Located' with everything I needed within easy travelling distance. Brenda herself was very welcoming and made me feel more like a friend than a paying guest. She leads a busy lifestyle, but was always there when I had any questions, and recommended many fantastic restaurants and places to visit. As for the room, it is a perfect size for a solo traveler - the bed has a very comfortable mattress, which was perfect after a long flight, and the desk in the room is a good size, with enough space to work if you need it. The rest of the apartment is nicely decorated, with a light and airy feel throughout. I also had the opportunity to meet some of Brenda's friends and family and had some very interesting conversations with the group - thanks for that Brenda!

We have just returned from our stay at Gayle's Country Escape Pondhouse. The chirping birds, sparkling fireflies, and rustling grasses, daisies, and ferns, with the pond at our toes, was all we hoped for and more. The feel of soft cool air as we slept, relaxed, and woke, is still fresh in our minds. If you are lucky enough to wake in the middle of the night you will see stars as they are meant to be seen. Isolated yet convenient, this spot offers complete privacy with Gayle within easy helpful distance should you need her.

This was the most magical place! It was exactly as it is depicted here, was very calm and relaxing, and Charlie was an amazing addition and great companion! Gayle and Peter are the kindest hosts I've had the pleasure of meeting, and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. =)

We had a great time and our dogs absolutely loved it! It was exactly how it is described and shown in the pictures. It was a beautiful property and a very relaxing vacation. My only advice is to pack for the weather accordingly, that was my mistake for not checking the weather. It was very windy and cold and I unfortunately packed for very hot July weather.

The Pondhouse was my girlfriend and I's first experience using Airbnb, and it went above and beyond what we imagined! We were looking for someplace unique and memorable to spend our anniversary, and Gayle was quick to respond and was wonderfully accommodating. Just as the name suggests, the Pondhouse truly felt like a country escape. Coming up the driveway of the property, we were greeted by Charlie (the friendliest dog... ever!), and Gayle gave us a tour of the Pondhouse and the rest of the property. Luckily we packed some food to bring with us, because once we got there we didn't want to leave! The Pondhouse itself was even more stunning in person than it was in the pictures, and it felt nice and secluded so you really got the sense that you had your own space to enjoy in privacy. We got a fire going with the wood that was provided, where we grilled some food as the sun went down. The Pondhouse was stocked with all of the essentials that you would need for the night, and all of the furniture was super comfortable! We couldn't believe how relaxing the Pondhouse was, we felt like we were in another world. As sad as we were to have to leave, we were already planning when we would make it back! It was the perfect couple's getaway for a romantic retreat, but it could also be a great place to stay with others who share a passion for nature and camping, but would like to do it in a unique way! It feels like we haven't been able to stop talking about it since we came back, so we'll certainly have to make a trip back sometime in the near future! The Pondhouse is a place that we'll never forget, and it was the perfect place that made our anniversary even more of a day to remember. We highly recommend visiting the Pondhouse, its the kind of place that makes Airbnb such a great resource, to find hidden gems like this!

The pond house was magical and a great place to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. When we arrived, Gayle was there to show us around the property. Charlie also greeted us and I think he might be the coolest dog I've ever been around. Cooking dinner on the outside grill under the stars was a nice way to unwind. The bed in the pond house was very comfortable and waking up to nature was refreshing. The next day, we hung out on the property for a while. Gayle went the extra mile as a host and found a place where I could get a prenatal massage.

The most amazing retreat. Coming from the city, the drive alone was relaxing. Pulling up to the Pond House you find yourself immersed in trees and the sweetest dog ever, Charlie, is the first to greet you. Gayle, one of the hosts, is on top of everything. She walked us through and had all our needs cover and then some. All we really needed to bring with us was our clothing and food to grill, everything else was provided. As for the actual Pond House, the pictures do not lie; it is that beautiful. There was so much peace and calmness.The night sky was a bonus, I'm not sure I've ever seen that many stars. It was a little chilly the first night but they have an abundance of blankets available to you. The bathroom is a short walk (and theirs wifi there). The town was very cute, we spent some time driving around after. We would definitely visit again.

This is my first time as an Air B&B user on my account. What an incredible experience! The pond house was something out of a dream or magazine. We had an about blast and it was dog friendly to top everything off! Definitely interested in revisiting! Thanks gayle!

So beautiful! The pond house is stunning and so relaxing!

The Yurt was a really awesome place to stay. It has everything you need and more! We made dinner there and were stoked to have a full kitchen to use! We didn't get to meet Bibi but did meet her Husband, who was really nice and welcoming. We would love to go back again!

This is a unique place to relax and unwind! The drive up PCH to the foot of the mountains is a great start to a visit to the Yurt. It is only a couple of miles from the coast and Bibi's directions were perfect. We were greeted promptly and made to feel at home. The space itself is extremely cleverly designed: there is plenty of room for a couple. The kitchen had enough equipment for us to cook and there is a lovely local mini-market close-by. We enjoyed soaking up the sun on the small decking area. The temperature dropped when the sun set but we didn't need to use the heater. The bed is comfortable - watch your head if you are tall! A lovely detail is being able to see the stars through the skylight whilst you're in bed! We spent the following day relaxing on the stunning El Matador beach - a secluded rugged cove full of wildlife. Although we were unable to access the wifi, it enabled us to appreciate the solitude and peaceful atmosphere.

Brilliant yurt, lovely host and great time!

Bibi is very welcoming and easy to talk to. We felt like we are visiting a friend's house. The yurt is beautiful, comfortable and clean. The picture looked bigger but the cozy feeling more than made up for the size. My children and I had a wonderful time and appreciated our first adventure on a yurt. They felt like like they had a sleepover. They would love to come back again and stay for several days.

Bruce and Bibi were busy on our arrival so we self checked in. The instructions given are nice and clear and we had no issues settling in. Upon opening the Yurt's door we found the wood pellet stove already running making the space warm and inviting. It is a very cozy room! The hosts were welcoming and concerned themselves with our comfort with Bruce dropping by to make sure everything was ok. I would recommend this "glamping" experience to anyone. The lodging may be unusual but that is what makes AirBnB so great. Accommodation that is an experience, not just your standard hotel room. Thanks Bruce and Bibi for hosting us!

Bibi’s Malibu Yurt provided a peaceful retreat for a quick overnight getaway. She greeted me and explained everything to make our stay comfortable. Her very detailed communications in advance also made the place easy to find. The pictures are right on point and the place is clean. It’s cozy and compact, and yet manages to make you feel like you have all the space you could possibly need. I enjoyed looking through a couple of the books she provides that were written and photographed by Bibi in Africa. I only wish we could have stayed a little longer to experience some of Bibi’s cooking and to learn more about all the interesting fruits and veggies she’s growing right outside the yurt.

My fiance and I wanted to have a little staycation that was close to home, but still different from the norm. The yurt retreat was a great choice. It was quaint and cool, and it had all the amenities of a home. I was concerned that it may have been cold at night, but there was a heater that worked very well. (Bibi also provided a few extra blankets and pillows). Prior to our visit, Bibi was very responsive to all my questions. Though we did not get to meet her in person (we checked in with her husband, Bruce), we felt very welcome and definitely enjoyed our stay.

Bibi was fantastic! The yurt was clean and cozy- a lovely end to our trip! nestled in the mountains you felt like you were in your own little oasis! We had breakfast with Bibi and it was delicious! sitting on her porch with her homemade meyer lemon marmalade and lemon soda was a delight! And the pool is incredible- it was the perfect temperature and really did feel incredible after my swim in it! so close to the beach as well as some sights and great restaurants

Karen is an amazing host! Even through we came to stay during a very busy time for her (Ironman season!) she was completely on top of making sure we were well taken care of and had everything we needed. She checked in with me a few days before we were set to arrive to make sure we knew where we were going and gave easy to follow directions. The cottage itself is unbelievable. Its a beautiful luxurious dream that feels tucked away in its own little oasis while still being just steps from the bay. Seriously... great snorkeling and dolphins are practically at your doorstep. Oh, and the cat is great company if you want to hang with him.

The cottage is a peaceful gem in a lush tropical garden and Karen was an amazing host! We very much enjoyed our stay there as a family. The nearby beach is another hidden paradise with great snorkeling possibilities! We will definitely try to come back to this amazing place!!! Thank you Karen for your great hospitality!

My wife and I spent an incredible couple of days at the Bali cottage - it was a unique and memorable experience. We loved the outdoor shower and the woodwork is beautiful. Manini Beach is only a block away and the reef snorkeling was really amazing (we went 3 times a day!). Karen was very welcoming and showed us around the neighborhood when we first arrived. We enjoyed the company of her cat who spent time lounging around with us on the porch, and the cute geckos who would grace us with their presence at meal times. It was a wonderful stay and we hope to stay at the cottage again in the future. It really was unforgettable!

We felt very welcome at Bali Cottage. My husband was very skeptical about booking this "hut". He ended up loving it and telling me that I did a great job and it was a good call. I know previous renters had commented on bugs. This was really not a problem for us. We left fans on, we never felt the need to use bug spray. We enjoyed watching the geckos. We also enjoyed the beach and watching the waves crash into the lava formations. Karen and Ron were excellent hosts. They were very helpful when we had questions. Also seemed to be everything there that we needed to make our stay comfortable and hassle free. We LOVED the Bali Cottage. Thank you so much Karen and Ron!!

A wonderful Barefoot Bali in the best, less-tread spot in Kona. Indoor/outdoor living a half block from a community beach on the Big Island's most idyllic bay. Do this for yourself - you deserve it!

Karen and Ron are delightful, thoughtful hosts. Took care of our every need, and always there to answer questions, but they also gave us alot of space and privacy. And what a great space it was! Set under a Grandfather Banyan tree, the cottage is right IN nature. With an impressive collection of vintage surfboards and antique Indonesian wall panels, it is one of the funkiest places we've ever stayed in. The four poster bed was very romantic and extremely comfortable...AND the cottage's secret bonus is possibly the best shower on the planet!!! Located in a very friendly community setting, we actually could see dolphins in the Bay while cooking breakfast in the outdoor kitchen. However, being that this is not a sterile sprayed Hotel-type setting, you are in the midst of a LIVE ecosystem and all that entails; mongooses, spiders and some of the cheekiest geckos you'll ever meet up close. This is serious GLAMPING. We loved this place, and it was perfect for us, but is not for the Princess Type of Traveller. Everyone else will love it. Thanks Ron and Karen, still hoping for that surfboard in the mail. ;~)

Karen is a wondeful host, and a very sweet woman. The location is amazing, walking distance to the bay and beach with unparalled snorkling. We are both outdoorsy camping types, and we knew that it was an open air cottage, but the mosquitos, and mongoose were a bit more than we bargined for. For the price of the rental we didn't want to feel like we were camping minus our tent. The bed is comfortable and we were grateful for the netting. However we weren't fully able to enjoy the rest of the space, inside or the gazebo because of the mosquitos. Our thoughts are that a substantial yard trim would help limit the bugs and critters without loosing any of the charm!

This place is magical,As soon as you step foot inside the cottage you are transported to a tropical paradise surrounded by a wonderfully vibrant garden, the cottage is so well put together to accommodate to all your needs, when you light the candles and sit out on the deck at night the ambience is second to none. Karen and Ron are wonderful hosts. Ron was so great to talk to and very knowledgeable on the area. Kealakekua bay is a stones throw from the cottage, where you you will have the most amazing snorkelling experience of your life, me and my boyfriend snorkelled here everyday, from exploring the coral reef to swimming with a pod of spinner Dolphins, this bay was the highlight of our hawaii trip. I highly recommend this place. Thank you to Karen and Ron for providing such an amazing place to stay

Eve and Steve were really outgoing and helpful -- and the cottage was fantastic. The place is situated in a beautiful landscape with lots to explore. Inside it's cozy, clean and the sort of place you want to tuck away inside for a few days to relax. There's a great little kitchen and big bathroom so there's no "roughing it" about this place. Highly recommend this spot as Eve and Steve have clearly thought through all of the details to make it a great place to stay in Maui.

The Gingerbread House is an amazing little cottage in Eve and Steve's island sanctuary. It has everything you need for a relaxing jungle getaway. You can tell there is a lot of thought put into everything on the property especially the newly renovated cabin. It sits on a sprawling jungle compound that has many nooks to explore. The house itself is fully equipped. It has a wonderful bathroom and shower. The overall space feels much bigger than it looks in the pictures. We met Eve for a brief time, but we could tell she was a beam of light. Her smile was bright and her laugh contagious. The property is centrally located and a quick drive from downtown Paia, Haiku, and Makawao. We have been very lucky with our AirBnb stays and this was another to add to the list.

There is nowhere better if you wish for some peace in the countryside where the only sounds are the wind in the trees and the sound of the birds. A charming house and charming hosts who are always available to answer queries but never intrusive. Totally recommended.

Eve was a great host and the place was exactly as described. It is in the middle of a jungle and is a bit of a drive the the popular west and south sides of the island, perfect location for the Road to Hana and some of the smaller towns in the Upcountry. Because it's in the middle of a jungle there are wildlife which I think Eve mentions in the description, roosters crowing, little critters making noises and lots of birds and such. The hot water is a little short sided but that might depend on how many other occupants are on the property, the week we were there it was full. There is a washer/dryer that was handy, a small blow dryer, an iron and beach towels available as well as anything you'd need in a kitchen. Overall, it was a great experience and we'd stay again.

We had an incredible time at the Gingerbread House, on the Sacred Garden retreat property. The little house itself is so comfortable, with everything you need, and the bed was really comfortable! Eve was very welcoming and wonderful, and had tons of great tips for us. The gardens are lush and beautiful, and we loved picking fruit off the trees. We would come back in a heartbeat.

The gingerbread house was absolutely amazing! So cozy, romantic, and just what we were looking for our honeymoon. We loved waking up and being able to listen to the sounds of nature and looking up at the greenery and sky through the high picture windows. Eve was such a wonderful host, so sweet and helpful. We did not want to leave this zen retreat! The location is secluded yet SO close to beaches, delicious food and nightlife in Paia, scenery and adventures are just in reach through Makawao, Haiku, and Kula. I know we will be thinking about our stay at the Sacred Garden for years to come. We will be back without a second thought! Mahalo ❤️

Eve was an amazing host. Quick to meet us at the property, gave us pointers as to how we could maximize our stay. It was apparent that Eve takes a great deal of pride in the property, and without question this shows. The home was quaint but perfect for two. We treated this as a home base as we embarked on adventures on the island. We would stay here again, and gladly recommend others to do the same.

Great spot in upcountry Maui. My wife and I wanted a place that was away from the hustle & bustle of the touristy spots, which is exactly what this offers! It's an easy drive to any of the beach areas (10-45 min depending on where you want to go), and only 15 minutes or so from the airport. We would stay here again.
