A great escape in the trees

The name says it all - this is the perfect getaway in the forest for a large group or family (we had 11). The house is multi-leveled with outdoor access to each level. The outdoor stairway is cleverly sheltered by an external roof, which is perfect since it's in the cloud forest and there were frequent mist showers with a gentle warmness from the forest. We loved looking into the forest as birds and animals came right to us. It's rustic because of its location, so the house has a simple kitchen but we found the showers great, the beds comfortable, and enjoyed our stay so much. Best of all, Sabine, our house, was amazing in helping us find the best local tours and guides while we were there. She was very patient and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this rental house.

Everything about this property is unique, the way it has been built on the side of a jungle cliff, the design of every room is amazing and there is loads of space. A memorable part of our holiday. The owner was very helpful with advice on excursions and it close to the major attractions

Top-tier host, charming property in a magical place

Monteverde is a magical place, and the treehouse offers a great location, charm, and amazing host for new and returning visitors. Sabine offered insightful advice and help with sketching out and booking an itinerary and was attentive in all communication. The various levels of the treehouse have private access points/keys so you can easily allow groups to spread out and get some space for individual privacy and downtime while easily being able to reconnect as a whole group. Completely luscious surroundings and beauty. It's a very special property in a place the whole world should strive to visit.

Great Time at a Quirky Place in the Cloud Forest

My family with 5 boys spent a couple nights at the Treetop House and had a great time. The place is huge. Very artsy and unique. Much more of a rustic experience, though we personally were fine with it, just be prepared!

Unique and fun property

This was a fun place to stay. I loved sitting on the porch in the mornings with my coffee watching all the birds. My only suggestion, I would have loved a sofa/lounge area where we could all comfortably hang out

Treehouse in the forest

The property is whimsical and charming, but a lot of stairs and different areas are not connected to each other. Fairly close to town and some shops and coffee houses. Great views of the forest. Loved hearing the birds in the morning. The kitchenette was bare bones and not easy to cook in. We ended up going out for more meals than we planned on.

eclectic house fits perfectly with the location, plenty of space and the kids loved it!

Wonderful stay. Sabine was a gracious and helpful host. There was plenty of space and our children loved exploring all the different levels and rooms. This was by far their top choice! We also scheduled a horseback ride with Sabine's stables and this was a highlight of our trip!

Great stay in a charming, unique home

Our group of 12 had a wonderful stay at Sabine’s spacious home. Sabine, our host, meet us at check in and gave us a thorough overview of the house and things to do nearby. She provided restaurant recommendations when needed and returned any messages immediately. Thanks to you and your daughter for the fantastic stay!

Unique house

Spent Christmas break with my daughters and their children. The house was perfect for providing privacy for our party of 8 that included 4 teenagers who appreciated having some personal space. Sabine was a most wonderful host - helping plan our activities, securing reservations and recommending knowledgeable guides. Plenty of nearby restaurants, shops and vistas to explore .

It's really in the trees

We loved this very funky house! Plenty of bedrooms for all, and several spaces to gather and watch wildlife. We saw toucans, parrots, monkeys, and even a pair of golden-browed chlorophonia. Within walking distance of several restaurants and Curi-Cancha Reserve. Sabine is communicative and very helpful.

Rustic treetop house

Our 2 families enjoyed our short two day stay at the Treetop House with its many unique rooms, stairs and rustic feel. It was much colder and windier than we anticipated and we were not prepared, however there were plenty of blankets to keep us warm and we made the best out of our time ziplining and enjoying the town.

Unique stay in the jungle

We really enjoyed our stay at the tree top House. It felt like sleeping in the jungle. The location is great and there is a lot of space for everyone. we were a family of 7 adults but there would have been enough space for 10 more:). The only challenge was the strong winds at night that kept my kids awake a little but to me, this is part of the charm.

Truly Tree Top

Sabine was great, she set up tours, arranged transportation and was readily available. If you won't have your own car I suggest getting groceries before you check in. The house is set up into mini apartments with a lot of stairs which could be difficult for some. The decor fits with environment. We had a great time in Monteverde, it is a beautiful area.

Amazing Treetop House

Our 8 person stay in the Treetop House was great! It was a little difficult to find, in the rain, but we managed. If you're visiting, the driveway to the property is next to a golden round globe. We drove past it a couple of times! The house itself is super interesting. Lots of fun spaces, funky decor, and a maze of interconnected rooms. You really are in the trees, and the experience is well worth it. I have a super sensitive nose, so some of the earthy smells of the woods inside the home threw me off, but the host was super responsive, listened to my concerns and quickly attempted to address them. The kids, ages 11-19, loved that they had their own space, in some cases their own floor, and didn't want to leave. All in all, I recommend staying here if you're into eclectic, natural spaces.

Fantastic house, great location, perfect base for biological reserve

The house has a range of rooms allowing everyone in our group of 9 to find their own space. Kids enjoyed chilling out in the hammocks and the querky, arty feel to the house was lovely. They provide indoor shoes (lovely touch) as floors/ steps are slippery. Bus to the reserve and main town stops at bottom of the drive so the location is spot on for the biological reserve or the children’s eternal forest. Only negatives- Very windy during our stay so noisy in top room due to typical CR roofing. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Hope to visit again soon

Treehouse adventure for our families

We had a wonderful time staying at Sabine’s treehouse with our 2 families. There was plenty of space for all of us, and Sabine was wonderful in planning all of our activities for us. She scheduled guided tours with amazing guides, gave us great recommendations, and answered every question properly. She even went so far as to order birthday cakes with hand-written messages (one regular and she found a gluten free cake as well!) for us as we had two birthdays to celebrate. It took a lot of the stress of planning away from the trip and made it a wonderful experience.

Fantasy Tree House

If you ever dreamed of living in a tree house, then this is the place. This 4-level home really brings that feeling alive. It's got lots of fun architectural details that will make the kid in you smile - and kids of all ages will love it. There's a ton of beds and enough bathrooms. The 4 floor lay out gives everyone their own space. Although we had a minor issue with the propane stove on the first night, we managed to cook for 7 people in the top floor kitchen. This space would not be good for people with mobility issues, but for anyone else it will be a very memorable and enjoyable vacation stay.
