My husband and I booked a night in the Excalifir on our trip down the West Coast. Our stay at Vertical Horizons Treehouse Paradise was one of the highlights of our whole trip!||||The booking process was completed by email and was quick and painless. Because we were running late on our drive from Crater Lake, we had to call for some check-in information, but they made sure check-in was easy for us when we arrived that evening. ||||The Excalifir is absolutely lovely. We were so excited to stay in a treehouse and the Excalifir made that experience even nicer than we could have imagined. We had chosen the Excalifir because of its built-in bathroom but it was especially cool to have more of a "tree-mansion" experience. It was huge! When we walked in, we were so taken with how cozy and comfortable it was. We entered into the living room, which had plenty of room to get comfortable on its couch. Our host had already turned on the heater so the temperature was perfect. The entire treehouse was immaculate!||||Everything about the design of the treehouse fit it so perfectly. We loved the sink built into the wood in the bathroom. The shower was pretty big and the water temperature was easy to regulate. We had no issues with any of the plumbing. The little kitchenette off the living room was adorable. A spiral staircase in the living room led up to the bedroom upstairs. We only slept in one of the two beds and it was quite comfortable. The Excalifir also had two balconies - one upstairs off the bedroom and one that wrapped around the whole treehouse. We checked it out when we arrived at night but stepped back out onto it in the morning to better appreciate the view in the daylight!||||The rate for the room was $383.80, which we thought was reasonable for such a large space and a unique experience. ||||Our hosts left us a little welcome along with a guide to the activities offered. We were sad we weren't staying longer because we wanted to check out everything they had to offer. We'll definitely...

We stayed in the Shitake and unfortunately got in late due to a flat tire on the drive down. When we got into our cabin, there were ants crawling up and down the tree which goes through the center of the room, as well as ants crawling all over the floor, walls, and table. I didn’t want to bother the hosts since it was so late, but my kids got freaked out and ended up sleeping in the car. When I told the person at breakfast in the morning about the issue, she said, “yes, we have ant problems”. Super helpful. I also told her that the wrong size sheets were left for the futon, so I wasn’t able to make it up for sleeping. When we got back in the evening, I went up to change out of my swimsuit, and ants were crawling over my feet and up my legs as I stood there. The same too small sheets were still there (twin for a full size futon). ||I got really annoyed, since we were paying $300+ per night. The owner ended up coming up and vacuuming ants for a good 30 minutes. He also brought up the right size sheets, ||The loft beds were very comfortable, the futon very uncomfortable. There is a curtain around the toilet, not a partition as it says on the website.||If I’d been paying half as much, I’d give it 4-5 stars for the location and breakfast, but at this price, not an...
