Danny and Joanie are lovely people and amazing hosts! I really enjoyed hearing about their background and travels.I fell in love with their property immediately and couldn't wait to explore the creek—which was the first thing I did! The walk down was a bit of a challenge, but what I found was worth every bit of effort. There were little seating areas nestled throughout the creekside, each with its own peaceful, Zen-like feeling. There was even a mosquito-netted area for enjoying the outdoors at dawn and dusk, and a hammock where I happily fell asleep. It truly felt like a magical place!The hammock on the deck was also the perfect spot for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine while watching the sunset.I would love to return, explore more of this fabulous property, and spend more time getting to know Danny and Joanie and hearing about their adventures.

Our unit is advertised as having a bed for 2. The futon is designed to be an added option for a small, third guest. When David booked our unit our discussion with him was that his wife may be the second person in the reservation and no initial mention of his son joining him. If we knew he would be wanting to use the futon, we would have suggested our second unit with 2 beds would be more appropriate for David and his son.

Home Away from Home

We were able to just relax the weekend away. Joanie and Danny were great hosts. They gave us total privacy while still being warm and welcoming.

Perfect spot to catch up on relaxing

I loved my week at this property. I was able to relax and take my time enjoying the sights. The creek had two great swimming holes to float in as well as plenty of seating so you could migrate with the shade to the most comfortable spots. I was able to catch up on some reading on the patio, watch the bats take off in the evening, and round off the day with a dip in the hot tub for the perfect sunset view. Danny and Joanie were lovely hosts, extremely friendly and willing to be there as much or as little as you were comfortable with. They were very accommodating for my husband and my friend visiting me during me week-long stay. I would definitely love to visit again!

Lovely getaway, lovely couple

A beautiful couple/family with a beautiful property. Whether it's a hot tub dip under the stars, a swim in the private creek, or watching the sunset on the hammock on the terrace -- this is the perfect getaway for a couple. Thank you both for the wonderful stay!

Beautiful view

The location is good because you’re not far from an opportunity to swim in the Yuba river and dine in Nevada city in the other direction. The creek on the property is sweet and serene and a lovely meditation spot. It really is not accessible for anyone who can’t do a steep downhill walk. The hosts are wonderful In accommodating you and pick you up and drive you back up the hill to the house.

Escape to the woods

Quick romantic getaway, Dennis and Joanne were friendly and welcoming. They also respected our privacy, would enjoy hanging out with:) they shared peaches from their garden too! We had plenty of space to enjoy their creek and the canyon below the house, we wandered up and down, only saw snakes, lizards, fish and birds. We got the hot tub under the stars(!), both nights to ourselves. The apartment was very charming, we watched the sunset from the bed. Loved the beautiful ceramic sink in the bathroom. It was lovely, better then expected:) my boyfriend was skeptical and then completely won over. I would rent again.

The Perfect Escape

The Estin Treehouse is the perfect location to get away and get lost in the sound of nature. Danny was a great host and made it very easy to communicate with, even during COVID19. The creek is absolutely magical. Pack a bag for the day and plan on spending 4-6 hours in a pure secluded paradise. I would highly recommend!

An absolute haven

I was looking for a relaxing and private weekend in nature, and Danny and Joanie's place is simply amazing. I could not have asked for better hosts; there when you needed them, ghosts when you want privacy. Their home is gorgeous, as is the thirty acres it sits on. Sunsets in the hot tub are to die for. I am looking forward to many more relaxing and reinvigorating trips at the Treehouse. Already planning my next trip. You won't be disappointed. Book your trip now before it's gone. ;)

Peaceful and beautiful country home in a prime location to explore!

Fresh dried fruit, beautiful creek, sheep and deer, you get a real country feel with this place! We spent the work week here and I was able to seamlessly work remotely with excellent WiFi. In the afternoons we explored the area. It’s a prime location for activities on the Yuba River and not too far for a visit to Tahoe. Dan and Joni are very generous hosts and really care about your experience. Even though a hosted site, still plenty of privacy. The red hammock is the best place for an afternoon nap or meditation. Enjoy a nice dinner on the grill and patio. Star gazing while relaxing in the hot tub. The loft is cozy and clean. We really loved our stay at the Estin Tree House!

Canyon retreat with private creek!

This place is the definition of a hidden gem. Not far from SF but it feels like you’re miles from the nearest signs of civilization. The apartment is perched on the side of a remote and beautiful canyon with a large deck overlooking the picturesque view. There are hammocks to lounge in during the day, a hot tub to soak up the stars at night, and a private creek with waterfalls, fish, a rock beach and all sorts of lounge seating hidden among the foliage to pass the time during a hot day. Danny and Joanie are amazing hosts, so accommodating without overdoing it - they respect your privacy but ensure you’re taken care of. Also, we saw deer, squirrel, lizards, fox, coyote, hawks, trout, and a wildcat! Great spot - Will definitely be back.
