We try to go to Grass Valley about once a year. When we discovered the tree house we were excited. It is a lovely home on the side of a mountain. Tadhg has built a beautiful home with so many truly unique features. The dining room table is one of a kind. Tadhg was very good at responding when there were questions. Thanks for hosting us. Would love to make this our yearly retreat.

Beautiful setting

The location is damn near perfect. Gorgeous setting, beautiful home, wonderful vibe. The host is quirky, very San Francisco. He is persnickety, so it wasn't the MOST relaxing trip for us and he charged us extra per person, which was new and it feels a little nickel and dimey, since you're renting the home. You should be comfortable with monitored cameras at all entrances. There is no washer or dryer on site, which was inconvenient for our 5 night stay, also you should know, the thermostat is locked, so if you want to control your own comfort, that's not an option. During our stay it was cold at night and a bit of a mixed bag during the day but the thermostat was stuck on cool. We wanted to run the heat but it took 36 hours to connect with our host, after that, it was stuck on heat. Sort of lame. Garbage--you have to take it with you. We live in Oregon. Do you want to have your garbage with you for 8 hours in the summer? What if you flew? Luckily for us, my son is local and was willing to put it in his trash pickup. The host's written advice is to put it in the cans of local businesses. What? Pretty sure there are fines associated with that. Please just DON'T. We wouldn't stay again. It was needlessly stressful (lots of rules and control issues). I think the host loves the house too much to really have it as a rental. I get it! I would love it too but just leave it as your personal vacation home and become more a part of the local community. No public dumping!!!
