Perched on a rocky knoll just above the Russian River estuary, this casual beach shack is an insider’s secret. Not only does the café micro-roast its own coffee (with excellent pour-overs), but also makes its own soups, breads and other baked goods using organic and non-GMO ingredients each morning. The food is ridiculously good, especially when you’re sitting outside watching paddleboarders float by. Live music on weekends.

Hikes
One of my favorite coastal hikes! Less than 15 minutes away from the Treehouse.
Kortum Trail: An absolute classic along the Sonoma coast, winding along the bluffs and headlands from Blind Beach to Wright's Beach, with sight lines all the way to Point Reyes on the clearest days.
Where: Park near the end of Goat Rock Road, just south of Jenner and the mouth of the Russian River.

Not far from the Treehouse there is a hike that's quite popular and breathtaking. I would say it's a moderate hike, 6 mile loop. Head west towards Duncan Mills, follow signs to park.
The trail follows an ancient trading route of the Pomo and Miwok people. The path weaves through lush redwood forests, oak woodlands and open grasslands, crossing seasonal streams en route to the ocean at Shell Beach.
