Breathing Trees

The Details
At Tree Tents, we believe nature is not just a place to visit—it’s a place to belong. Tucked away in the heart of the Santa Cruz Mountains, our site stretches across nine acres of redwood, fir, madrone, and oak forest, with creeks and wildflower meadows leading to sweeping ridge line views. Whether you’re staying in one of our distinctive tree tents, cozy cabin cottages, restored Airstreams, or pitching your own tent, you’ll find all the magic of the outdoors complemented by thoughtful comforts. Private fire pits, picnic tables, outdoor seating, and grill setups invite you to slow down, savour the moment, and unwind beneath the stars.
Tree Tent grew from a lifelong love of outdoor adventure and a deep respect for the land. Since 2010, owners Jon and Amanda—longtime locals of the Santa Cruz Mountains—have transformed this property from a humble fixer-upper into a place where wilderness and hospitality come together. With years of experience in hosting and creating memorable gatherings, they bring care, attention, and a welcoming spirit to every guest stay. Whether you’re seeking adventure or rest, romance or reunion, we invite you to explore, reconnect, and leave with more than you came with.

About Tree Tents
Combining the precision of aeronautical engineering and the romance of wild camping the 3m diameter Tree Tent is a truly special place to hunker down for that all year round, off-grid, wilderness experience. Suspended up in the tree tops the Tree Tent has a minimal impact on its environment but a huge impact with its guests.
