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

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.

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

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!

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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.

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.

What a fun home!

My party of nine arrived in the middle of a rainstorm which made us a bit late but Sabine was patiently waiting to greet us. She made us fell welcome with a tour of the house and offers to book any of the adventures we chose. The home itself is one of the most interesting we've ever rented. I was a little worried about the outdoor stairways with the storm but they're all under cover and we kept dry. We used the top level for gathering and games and the rest for sleeping and privacy. The middle level deck was perfect for morning coffee. Definitely quirky, cute, and well located.We had a blast!

Sabine was helpful and friendly.

We were 4 adults and 7 children (ages 4 to 12) and we all loved the tree top house. There were plenty places to sleep and spread out. The kitchen was functional, but small. There is a second kitchen on the lowest level, but we cooked and consumed our meals together, so that wasn't practical for us.The location is wonderful and very private. We observed parakeets, coatis and even a spider monkey around the house. We can only recommend hiring a guide for the cloud forest tours, they are all extremely knowledgeable. Thank you, Sabine, we had a wonderful time in your house and Monteverde.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities

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.

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
