This was a super cool place to stay at! It doesn't specify in the listing that it is a hostel and the tree house is actually called Indiana Jones, but that was a pleasant surprise! Thanks, Sven!

Great response and communication. I stayed in the treehouse with my son. He enjoyed the slackline, hammock, and darts outside. The communal areas were clean and welcoming. Relaxed environment. It was raining, so the bridge was slippery. There isn't a heater in the treehouse, so it got a little cold. Overall, a great place to hang out and meet other travelers!

This was a nice location. The tree house was clean, sturdy and well kept. We really enjoyed our time. We do wish there was better parking but other than that it was great!

Hi Melissa I hated my parking lot situation as well. I'm with you on this one. Thanks to the road construction on University Avenue we were able to get my parking lot extended so there is plenty of room for all of ours guests now.

Sven's is a nice hostel with great coffee and clean, coin operated, hot showers. The Indiana Jones Treehouse was the way to go! Hopefully the breeze will blow and rock you to sleep!

Unique Experience

We were drawn to this property due to the low cost and opportunity to stay in a treehouse. The room was clean. The bed was big and comfortable. Although there were many other young people staying on the property, there was no noise at all and the bathroom area was modern and well maintained. Seen was also helpful with information about the area prior to our stay. Swen’s is a great stop.

No amenities

Not even a pop machine. Bring everything you will need. The tree house walkway is a little scary especially when you seen zip ties holding it together. It’s was an adventure!

Sven’s is wonderful and…

Stayed in the tree house. It was a unique and fabulous experience. The wind was pretty fierce on our night which yielded a loud rocking noise in the trees. Never was I in fear of structural failure (house is fail-safe); it was just a louder swaying noise that took some getting used to in the late night. There is nothing negative to say about this wonderful property. Fab people, fun atmosphere and has everything one needs.
