12. Brilliant home within a vineyard, Los Gatos (from USD 286)

Ever wondered what it feels like to live in a vineyard? Wonder no more. This treehouse has the best of many, many worlds. It’s tucked in the vineyards of Lago Lomita, built amidst giant Douglas Fir trees, and it has the most stunning view of Monterey Bay. Although this isn’t for those with slight mobility issues, as the only entranceway is a ladder leading to the 400 square feet (37.2 square meters) platform, it’s still an experience worth trying. It has a queen bed and WiFi. You’ll have to use the full bath in the main house though as this is the price you pay for a terrific view and a fun glamping experience overlooking those lovely pickings of grapes.

Found in the middle of a 5 acres (2.02 hectares) area above the Valley of the Moon in Sonoma County, between the towns of Kenwood and East Santa Rosa, Bella Luna Retreat is the type of place you picture out when thinking of a romantic getaway. The place is built for two with two tubs – an outdoor tub and a clawfoot tub in its newly-remodeled bath.
