The OHHOUSE is ideal place to retreat, recharge your batteries,...
The Space
The OHHOUSE offers a unique retreat surrounded by untouched nature, where you can experience wild howler monkeys and breathtaking sunrises. This light-filled, minimalist home is constructed from wood, concrete, metal, and glass. Elevated on stilts seven meters above the ground, it blends seamlessly with the branches and canopies of the nearby trees.
The architecture is designed to immerse guests in the jungle environment. In the bedrooms, three of the four walls are fully glazed, allowing for expansive views. Instead of a concrete ceiling, wild plants in the courtyard provide natural shade. The glass front in the living area can be opened to merge the terrace, infinity pool, and lounge into one expansive space.
This deep connection to nature extends beyond design into a holistic sustainability approach. Solar panels on the roof supply electricity, and the infinity pool uses salt water rather than chlorine.
Location
If you desire a break from tranquility and want to visit a lively town, Tamarindo is just three kilometers away. Known for its variety of restaurants, bars, and numerous nearby surf spots, it offers a vibrant contrast to the peaceful surroundings of the OHHOUSE.
Important Information
- If you prefer not to wake up with the first light or the sounds of howler monkeys greeting the sunrise, bringing a sleeping mask is recommended.
- Bedroom windows have curtains, but the rooms cannot be completely darkened.
Safety Notice
Due to the architectural design, the house is elevated seven meters above the ground and features open corridors, exposed edges, high balconies, and steep stairs. These elements may pose safety concerns, making the home potentially unsuitable for children under 15 years old.

The photos didn't do it justice. We were extremely impressed with everything about the property and Gladys was super responsive anytime we needed her. I could not recommend it more highly!

We had a great stay at Gladys’ place and would definitely come back. Waking up to the sounds of the birds and wildlife each morning was one of our favorite parts. The property is a bit tucked away, but after the first drive it was easy to find. It’s also conveniently close to plenty of great restaurants. We highly recommend staying here!

Die Unterkunft war sehr naturverbunden, sehr schön eingerichtet und wir haben hier viele große und kleine Tiere zu sehen bekommen. Wir sind zu viert angereist und hatten einen 4x4 Wagen, der (wie in der Unterkunftsbeschreibung steht) von großem Vorteil für die Anreise ist.

Great location close to town, but private and gives you the feel that you're in nature. The architecture of the house and bedrooms was stunning. Waking up to a glass wall overlooking the rainforest was incredible. Howler monkeys in the AM were a hoot..! A+ stay and all very nice and clean. Thank You!

We had a wonderful stay for two nights. We loved the proximity to town but the best part was coming home to the peaceful and beautiful treehouse. Great design on the treehouse with lots of space and being immersed in nature. German was great and very helpful and Gladys was super responsive. She had made suggestions for places to eat which we tried a few and they were amazing.

Already dreaming about the next time I can come back to this slice of heaven. We felt fully immersed in this treehouse. Not for you if you don’t enjoy living amongst lizards, monkeys, bugs, birds, etc. Easy to get into town for groceries. We didn’t rent a car and Ubers were easy to come by despite the rocky road. All the essentials were there. The design was tasteful. The pool was the perfect temperature. Keep in mind the trees are less lush this time of year so don’t expect as much green as the photos. Overall an ideal spot to unwind and enjoy the simple things. Gladys was an excellent host and gave great recs for masseuses, surf lessons, restaurants, and beaches. My only regret is not staying longer.
