The treetop house was so fun, the kids loved it especially. It is so unique it is difficult to describe. The layout and the kitchen make it feel more like glamping then a vacation house but we adjusted nicely. We did manage to cook meals for all 11 of us in the kitchen and on the grill, the cooking area is small but doable. The bedrooms are comfy and the location is great. Sabine was so helpful in setting up our tours and answering all of our questions.

Thank you Cressa for your thoughtful review. I’m really happy to hear that you and your children enjoyed the treetop house—it's truly a special place, and it’s always wonderful when guests embrace its unique character. I am also very happy we have met during your stay in the TreeTop House. Something I miss from the time before the pandemic :-) You described it very well: it’s designed to feel close to nature, more like a comfortable “glamping” experience than a conventional house. It was a pleasure helping you organize your stay, and I’m glad you enjoyed the location and surroundings. You’re very welcome back anytime.

We stayed 4 different places on our trip and tried to pick unique accommodations at each stop. The Treetop House did not disappoint. We were shocked at how spacious it was. So many areas to explore and all with fun decor. We were only 7 but this could accommodate a much bigger group without feeling crowded. The kicthen is a bit rustic but it worked just fine. We enjoyed our stay - the kids absolutely loved it - and we would stay again.

We want to mention here that we do not provide a full equipped kitchen as shown in our listing. The kitchenette is so well equipped that our guest confuse it sometimes with a full kitchen!

Thank you Chad for your review. We still provide all of the mentioned before but virtually. We have changed the check ins to be "self check-ins" which seems to be very welcome by our guests as they don't feel pressured to arrive at a certain agreed on time and leaves our guests more flexibility to enjoy their travels before arrival.

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.

Thank you Sophie for staying at our TreeTop House. Yes winds in January can be very challenging. They are the trade winds coming from the Atlantic Ocean. Monteverde is located right below the continental divide and still gets some of that strong wind. As you say it is part of the charm of Monteverde's unique Cloud Forest.

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.

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.

Thank you Marnie to point out that the TreeTop House on 4 levels includes having stairs to get from one level to the other. You can get from one space to the other either through the side part (all under the roof) or through the out side spaces. They are all connected! This makes our place so special and unique. Lots of spaces for hiding and privacy yet spending time with your family or group. And of course you are pointing out the correct: it is a kitchenette and not a full kitchen! In our description of the listing we are stating this fact.
