"Burlingame might not seem like the most sought-after destination for tourists, but one family in town is renting out the tree house they built for their kids for $275 a night.
“We had no idea that it would bring such joy to so many interesting people from around the world, but we are delighted by this,” owners Linda and Doug Studebaker wrote on their Airbnb listing.
The one-room house, nestled in a 150-year-old coast live oak, comes with standard amenities, including cable TV, wireless Internet, heating and all the bathroom essentials.
The Studebakers did not return our calls seeking comment, but from the looks of things, the tree getaway is a hit — it’s got more than 700 reviews, most of them positive.
It’s also a hit with the Studebakers, who stand to make up to $100,000 a year in rentals. That may be one reason the City Council asked its staff to investigate imposing transient occupancy taxes on the more than 300 Burlingame rentals listed with Airbnb.
