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

Such a unique stay!

Tree house was as advertised, very unique and fitting for the cloud forest! The kids loved it and Sabine was a very good host.

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

Amazing house!

One of the most unique homes we've ever stayed in. Great experience. A little spooky for the kids at first because of the wind, but that was a part of what made for such a great experience. Location and host were amazing as well! Incredibly responsive and helpful.

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 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 .

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 for a short stay

Anduin's review is spot on for both pluses and minuses. It is a great place to spend a couple days but I think the quirks would quickly turn to annoyances if we were staying longer than that.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Unique home

Pros- the host is very helpful with booking activities in town for my family. Lots of beds so great place for several people. House is near cute local cafes and art shops and walking distance to a beautiful waterfall. Cons- the floors creak so much. You can hear every footstep from the floor above. There was no hot water so I hope you enjoy cold water showers with very little water pressure. The bottom level shower head is over the toilet. Whoever is using the bathroom after you has to basically dry the entire bathroom and toilet because there is no shower curtain. The beds are very hard. Bring your own pillows and bath towels.

Great house, but needs some work.

After a long day of travel my friends and I were very excited to arrive at the treetop house. The property is absolutely beautiful and while it was late when we arrived, we were all blown away by the house itself. Upon closer inspection the house had noticeably been neglected. Spiders and dead bugs were abundant in the beds at the lowest level, while spider webs were visible on the ceilings in every room. There was a nest of baby spiders in the lowest bathroom, which really stinks because that shower was cool. Another issue we ran into were the ants. Ants were everywhere. Even before bringing any food into the house we noticed ants in some of the beds. By the end of our first full day here there were ants everywhere you looked. There is also nothing sealing the doors closed, so one night while we were playing games in the upstairs room a tarantula hawk somehow made its way into our space. We were able to handle all of these things ourselves as 6 friends in our early 20s, but I feel these things are important for people to know before booking the space. Don’t get me wrong, we still had a fantastic time at the treetop house. Check in was simple, same with check out. Sabine gave very clear instructions on how to get to the property. There were plenty of rooms to accommodate our group, despite not entering the lowest level after the bug issues. It is a great location in monteverde, and it feels pretty secluded. I would recommend to a friend, but it would come wIt’s a warning!

Fun, rustic house

This house is a bit unusual but in a good location with lots of space. Be prepared for some steep outdoor staircases though! The rooms were nice with enough space for everyone to spread out. The views of the trees and the visiting birds were great. The house was closer to "civilization" than I expected. On the up side this meant there were about 4 restaurants, two hiking areas / reserves, and a shopping area within walking distance. CASEM is in the shopping area and has great souvenirs. There is a small market next to it with basics like milk but also flour and sugar. Not many American brands though. There is also a nice selection of milk, cheese, and bread at the Cheese Factory. However being so close to all these things meant we had more road noise than I expected. Not bad, but I really didn't expect any. It was mostly noticeable in the morni g and late afternoon. There was also noise between floors (mostly walking on the floorboards) but once everyone was settled for the night it was quiet. We had a little problem with hot water and toilets but not too significant. Kitchen was better than expected, although small. Knives were dull but plenty of dishes, pots and pans, etc. The stairs are not for the faint of heart, especially in rain and/or dark. No one fell or anything but everyone was nervous especially if the were carrying something. Overall we really enjoyed our time there and would recommend it.

Disliked: Communication

Our stay at this property was a complete nightmare. Upon arrival, we were given a digital code to enter, but the keypad didn’t work—either it had no batteries or was broken. When I called the host, she was completely unaware that guests were arriving that day. She eventually gave us another code for a non-digital lockbox, which had a physical key. Oddly enough, when we finally got inside, there was a welcome sign with my name on it—so clearly, they did know we were coming. We rented the entire property, yet the key set provided did not include a key for the downstairs loft. We didn’t think much of it until the second day, when we were resting in our room and suddenly heard someone trying to open our door. Alarmed, we called our friends who were staying on the top floor, and they rushed down, scared as well. Later that evening, as we returned from town, we noticed a taxi dropping someone off at the property. When we got closer, we saw that the lights in the loft—again, the one we did not have a key for—were now on, and we could hear someone inside. At this point, we called the owner, terrified. She insisted that no one else was there and that we had rented the entire place. We calmly explained that there was definitely someone inside the loft. She told us she would come check herself, but we were too uncomfortable to stay any longer. We ended up booking another place for the night and leaving early, even though we had already paid for the final night.

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.

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.

Cute Treehouse

The overall property was nice and in a very unique location - it was nice to have so many options for beds as well. There is limited bathrooms and not a lot of hot water so that was a little frustrating for the group. For some floors you do have to go to other levels to use bathroom, and one of the stairs had a damaged step which cut my foot. There also isn't a microwave which was fine but just an FYI to people when shopping for food. We did see monkeys, lemurs and other cool animals from our treehouse which was very fun! Located within 10 minutes of longest zipline in latin america

Fun unique house set in the clouds

Sabine's house was a beautifully set unique home with 5 levels and multiple bedrooms. Loved the view from the small porch area on the third levels where wonderful birds visited every morning. Sabine was easy to communicate with and any supplies we needed were readily available. The property was set outside of Monteverde and private. The towns square was easily accessible with a short 2 minute drive. During our time there we went horseback riding at her stables and zipling at the original canopy tour both a must in our opinion.. our 4 children ages 6,9,11 &13 loved the many different places to explore on the property. Loved our time at Sabine's treetop house.
