Dreamy tree house, a jungle in middle of the city! - Farm stays for Rent in Alajuela, Alajuela Province, Costa Rica

You should definitely book a stay at this magical treehouse in the jungle! The place has so much character with a large covered outdoor kitchen/dining area a few steps away from a picturesque pond. A beautiful serene place for us yogis. The bedroom is upstairs with A/C and a comfortable bed, as well. Ana and Gerardo are great hosts who are kind, helpful, and responsive! Wish we could have spent more time here. Thank you guys! We will be back :)

Wow—what an incredible place! If you’re lucky enough to find availability here, definitely book it. My wife and I ended our honeymoon here and were blown away by the property, the treehouse, and the hospitality. Easily one of the best Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed in. The communication was excellent, and the location was perfect—close to the airport (maybe a 15-20 min drive?), restaurants, and shopping. We arrived late after a long day of travel from Puerto Viejo, and the hosts kindly cooked us a delicious homemade vegan meal. That level of hospitality really shows how much they care about their guests. The treehouse itself was beautiful, peaceful, spotless, and very comfortable. We slept incredibly well, and the bed was super cozy. The hosts also made us a delicious vegan breakfast and even helped us arrange an Uber to the airport. We would absolutely stay here again.

Little oasis close to the airport. Beautiful surroundings, peaceful and welcoming. Bed was comfortable and they were a lovely couple who provided breakfast and local information. Highly recommend!

Really fun place with a treehouse like upstairs and an open kitchen and relaxation area underneath. The place is on a big farm and is very secure. What a neat place so close to the hustle and bustle of Alajuela. Ana Lorena is an awesome host, providing snacks, breakfast, good company, maître D services, just an all-around great host. Cool place, we loved it.

This place is a great find. Ana was very responsive and met us when we arrived, walking us through the property. Very unique property and such a great place to relax in the kitchen area. Ana helped us find things close, was helpful when asked, and still had privacy while on the property. Would recommend anyone staying in San Jose area.

We stayed at Ana Lorena's great place for just one night. Despite the somewhat later arrival, we were received in a very friendly manner and felt immediately comfortable. The next morning we had a lovingly prepared breakfast. The garden with the many plants is a tropical paradise. Thank you for the comfortable stay! There is still one point of criticism: the nearby large road is quite loud.

Wir waren nur für eine Nacht in der tollen Unterkunft von Ana Lorena. Wir wurden, trotz der etwas späteren Ankunft, sehr freundlich empfangen und haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt. Am nächsten Morgen hatten wir noch ein liebevoll zusammengestelltes Frühstück. Der Garten mit den vielen Pflanzen ist tropisches Paradies. Danke für den angenehmen Aufenthalt! Einen Kritikpunkt gibt es dennoch: Die nahegelegene große Straße ist ziemlich laut.

Quiet peaceful property. We had a little issue finding it (our fault) and the host came to find us in her vehicle. She went above and beyond to ensure we got there. Once we were there we were taken away by how beautiful the property was. Breakfast was provided for us in the morning and we got to use the outdoor kitchen to cook our freshly laid eggs the way we wanted. French press coffee and fresh fruit provided as well. Great start to our trip , would highly recommend.

We booked this sanctuary in the middle of the city to celebrate my 29th birthday and Valentine's Day, what can I say? WONDERFUL!!! ❤️🌿💚☘️🌳🌴 the best birthday of my life!! 😍 beautiful place, made to perfection to disconnect from the noise and connect with God and nature 🍂 surrounded by palm trees, bamboo and a lot of peace!! 1 day was not enough, we wanted to stay and live there! 🥰 Doña Lorena is an exceptional human being, I could say that she is like a "mother" who adopts you and makes you feel that warmth of home, very, very friendly and helpful, everything impeccable, too many amenities! We will definitely be back, but for many more days because it is a place full of love and peace ✌🏼 We're leaving recharged and happy that we booked this AMAZING PLACE! You won't regret it! Come and come for at least 2-3 days! THANK YOU LORENA! Your hospitality and your beautiful temple have allowed me to have my best birthday! 🎁 God bless you! We hope to come back soon 🙏💚☘️🍃🌿🌴🌳

Reservamos este santuario en medio de la ciudad para celebrar mi cumpleaños #29 y el día del amor y la amistad, que puedo decir? MARAVILLOSO!!! ❤️🌿💚☘️🌳🌴 el mejor cumpleaños de mi vida!! 😍 precioso lugar, hecho a la perfección para desconectarte del ruido y conectarte con Dios y la naturaleza 🍂 rodeada de palmeras, bambus y mucha mucha paz!! 1 día no fue suficiente, nos queríamos quedar a vivir ahí! 🥰 Doña Lorena es un ser humano excepcional, podría decir que es como una “mamá” que te adopta y te hace sentir ese calorcito de casa, muy muy amable y atenta, todo impecable, demasiadas comodidades! Sin duda alguna, volveremos, pero muchos más días porque es un lugar lleno de mucho amor y paz ✌🏼 Nos vamos recargados y felices de haber reservado este INCREÍBLE LUGAR! No se arrepentirán!

How nice, Yumi❣️❣️❣️ I'm glad you spent your birthday here and that you liked it. We send you all the blessings for this new turn to the sun. And I hope to see you soon around here❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️♥️☺️🥰

If its available - and you are even considering it - just go! Really beautiful and so close to the airport! We arrived to SJO late and after picking up our rental car, we didn't get to Ana Lorena's place until almost 11pm - but she was there to welcome us and everything was so easy. Just follow the directions to get to the place and see what a treasure awaits. Especially arriving late and then "seeing" the surroundings for the first time in the daylight the next morning. Take the time to get a short tour of the farm.  Ana Lorena was so welcoming and excited to share her little slice of paradise with us - quite refreshing and very much appreciated by these travelers. Well done Ana Lorena!!

We were looking for a place outside of San José and I feel very lucky to have found this space. The property is beautiful, spacious and can be explored; the house is impeccably cared for, designed with excellent taste and a lot of love. Every detail and all of Lorena's attention made the stay truly magnificent. I recommend it without a second thought (and if I could, I would recommend it two more times). It is close to San José, but it feels completely secluded: nature, silence and a lot of peace. I'll definitely be back as soon as I have the chance.

Buscábamos un lugar fuera de San José y me siento muy afortunado de haber encontrado este espacio. La propiedad es hermosa, amplia y se puede explorar; la casa está impecablemente cuidada, diseñada con excelente gusto y mucho cariño. Cada detalle y todas las atenciones de Lorena hicieron que la estadía fuera realmente magnífica. Lo recomiendo sin pensarlo dos veces (y si pudiera, lo recomendaría dos veces más). Está cerca de San José, pero se siente completamente apartado: naturaleza, silencio y mucha paz. Definitivamente volveré apenas tenga la oportunidad.

We stayed at Lorena's place for the last night of our trip to Costa Rica before an early flight out of SJO. I'm so glad we went here instead of staying at a generic hotel near the airport. Even though this is close and convenient to the airport, it still felt like being in paradise. The property really is incredible. The treehouse itself is awesome, and it's stocked with everything we could have needed. But really the surroundings took it to another level of amazing. We loved exploring the grounds with their dog Sammy as our guide. Lorena went out of her way to help us out and make sure we made the most of our visit. The whole family is extremely friendly and welcoming, and the treehouse was even more magical than I expected. I would definitely stay here again when flying in/out of SJO.

Gracias Katy, fue un gusto tenerlos con nosotros. A pesar de mi accidente creo que mi madre fue buen host 😂😂😂, obvio sammy la mejor, mi amor❣️❣️❣️

Wonderful place, even better host. Spent a few days connecting as a couple and unwinding from home life, and this is a great place to do it. Immersed in sites and sounds of nature. Awesome at night lit with candles. Slept soundly. Has all one needs. Lorena was kind and giving, even led us on 2 walks of the grounds. The sculpture park 1/4 mile up the road is a must and exceeded expectations. Highly recommend.

Gerardo y Lorena's property was the absolute perfect place to stay our first night in Costa Rica, after traveling all day. Its proximity to the airport was super convenient, yet the property felt safe and somewhat remote- save for a bit of noise from the highway. The treehouse itself was even more beautiful than the pictures show! Lorena was a great host, always responsive, understanding and flexible with check in when we found ourselves stuck in traffic, and helpful when we had questions. Her complimentary breakfast was one of the best meals we had down there! Would definitely recommend and stay again!

We had an incredible stay at Gerardo's beautiful treehouse! She immediately made us feel right at home and the only thing we regret is not being able to spend more time there!

We regrettably only got to stay here one night as we were flying into SJO. It’s very close to the airport. Excellent location to start or end your trip! Lorena is extremely helpful, patient, thoughtful. their treehouse is extensively stocked and has everything you could think of! Hot showers, AC, window shades, a great morning view of a tree that tons of birds like to perch in, amazing breakfast!, snacks and rosemary waters. So peaceful and serene. I immediately felt relaxed! The bed was comfortable and we slept well! We felt safe and secure. Can’t wait to return another time! Thank you so much for sharing your space with us

Lorena is extremely friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the city and agriculture. The room was very clean. The breakfast was delicious and homemade along with fresh mint water and fresh fruit. Lorena welcomed us with a basket of snacks, which was amazing. Would stay here again !! :)

Our recent stay at an Airbnb with an amazing host in a gazebo was nothing short of magical. The host's warm and welcoming personality made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived, and the beautifully decorated gazebo was the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway. Our host went out of her way to ensure that we had an unforgettable experience, from preparing a delicious Tamale meal to giving us a personal tour of the farm that has been in the family for generations. The gazebo was cozy and comfortable with AC, with plenty of thoughtful touches that made us feel special. We would highly recommend this Airbnb and its incredible host Lorena to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable stay.

This place was absolutely magical and Lorena and Gerardo made us feel at home. It is a stunning property that Lorena gave us a tour of. Great location, and even better people. We hope to be back soon! 10 out of 10!

The tree house was such a beautiful and relaxing hideaway.  We enjoyed our time there. Lorena and Gerardo were wonderful, kindhearted hosts.  I hope to stay there again in the future. Highly recommended!!!

Of all the Airbnb’s we stayed at in Costa Rica, Lorena was by far the most attentive, helpful and kind host. She thought of everything and made sure that we had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay - she even made us gallo pinto for breakfast!  Finding a beautiful retreat like this so close to the city was very surprising, we highly recommend!

We had an amazing time at the tree house. Lorena is a lovely woman! Her passion for the land is refreshing. Everything was clean and comfy. She even provided breakfast for us which was such a treat! We will be back and will be sending our friends here. Much love!

Lorena & Gerardo are great hosts. They were very friendly and generous. Did everything they could to make my stay even more comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you very much

I wish we had spent more time here because this was a lovely Airbnb. Lorena was so kind and helpful and her home is beautiful! If you want a peaceful retreat close to the airport or the city, this is the place for you.

Our stay at the Treehouse for our second anniversary is one we’ll not soon forget! Nestled in a gorgeous forest tucked just off a main thoroughfare, Gerardo and Lorena’s space was easily one of the coolest places we’ve ever stayed. The views from our room offered a treetop view of the nearby forest and gorgeous gardens curated by the hosts, and the kitchen and patio offered a lovely spot to kick back and decompress after a long day. Lorena was so kind to recommend several great options for our anniversary dinner and her top choice did not disappoint! It was probably our favorite meal of the trip. We would highly recommend the Treehouse to adventurous travelers and those willing to explore a bit to find this hidden gem!

Lore was amazing!!! She makes you feel like you are at home. Her breakfasts are so good! I really dont leave reviews but this place was amazing!!

Such a beautiful little stay before our very early morning flight the next day. Unfortunately we didn’t get to stay for long, but the bed was the most comfortable bed I had my entire trip! The fruit and snacks were a beautiful touch. Slept very good - can get a bit noisy with the trucks on the nearby highway but a loud fan and some earplugs did the trick :)

What an amazing spot! We were greeted with so much kindness and warmth from Gerardo and Lorena. Really unique stay with thoughtful touches at each turn. I’m a light sleeper and slept like a rock in this slightly noisy (bugs, wind) with earplugs. Really recommend this spot!!

GREAT experience HIGHLY recommend! It’s a beautiful place and the hosts are incredible, she gave us a tour of their farm and made us an amazing Costa Rican breakfast that we loved!

Absolutely loved our stay here! It was brief because we were just staying to be close to the airport but wish we had booked this place for longer. Seemed like their was still a lot to explore. The host was exceptional and so so sweet. The treehouse was one of the most unique places we’ve ever stayed in. Highly recommend staying for more than one night!

My girlfriend & I had a spectacular experience of closing out our vacation in this cozy abode. Most of our trip was in the Uvita region so we needed a place to stay closer to the airport. This location is perfect! All the amenities you would need. The most comfortable bed I slept on my entire trip of multiple BnBs. Lorena treated us with above & beyond care and gave us an inspiring morning tour of their beautiful tree sanctuary. I would stay here again and recommend to friends & family. Mucho Gracias!

Gracias!!! Nos encantaría q vinieran otra vez. Brazos abiertos!!!!!

Wow. Where do I start? If you want a true, GORGEOUS, place to feel at home, peaceful, welcomed and treated amazing by the hosts than you have found your place. I can’t even put in to words how kind and comforting being here felt. The property is gorgeous. The huge shower is stunning, the waterfall, pond, land, just incredible. One of the best air bnb’s I have ever stayed in. Even better than the pictures!!!!

We had a wonderful stay at Lorena’s and would definitely recommend if you are looking for a place nearby to SJO that is immersed in nature. Lorena was a very communicative host and helped coordinate our travel to and from the Airbnb. Her warmth and hospitality were so appreciated when we landed in Costa Rica. She also showed us all around the beautiful property and gave great local food recommendations. The treehouse itself is lovely and peaceful  with a very comfortable bed. We particularly appreciated Lorena’s excellent homemade breakfast and peaceful comfortable accommodations so close to the airport. It is close to a main road so you do hear some traffic but still felt peaceful. Loved our stay and would return!

Staying at this treehouse was by far our best experience abroad. This place is located close to the San Jose airport with many restaurants and a supermarket 10min away. This is simply a piece of paradise in middle of nature with maximum comfort. Plenty of beaches and trails/hikes around a hour drive away.  Lorena and Geraldo are the most kind, friendly, attentive, full of energy, knowledgeable and generous hosts that we ever had. Delicious breakfasts, natural fruits, mint water, great walks in their beautiful botanical gardens with wild lives and tons of bamboo and palm species, two awesome and friendly dogs Alpha and Sammy and I can go on and on. The treehouse itself was cleaned and tidied up daily by Hannia, the amazing helper. We felt sad leaving this place and we hope to be back soon! This treehouse exemplifies the best of La Pura Vida! Highly recommended!

Lorena greeted us and was sincerely kind from the moment we arrived. She brought us a wonderful breakfast. The property is beautiful and private. Lovely place and host. Highly recommend.

We love Lorena & Gerardo! This is our second time staying with them, because they are amazing! The property is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Everything in the treehouse is impeccably clean. Lorena is so thoughtful, kind, flexible and extremely responsive! She makes us feel like family every time we visit! We didn’t want to leave!

We love Lorena & Gerardo. This is our second time staying with them, because they are amazing! The property is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Everything in the treehouse is impeccably clean. Lorena is so thoughtful, kind, flexible and extremely responsive! She makes us feel like family every time we visit!

Such a beautiful experience. Gerardo was very responsive and definitely passionate about their land. We got a nice tour around the property and garden. This place was definitely a unique experience, and the aesthetic was designed so thoughtfully. Thank you so much!

Literal paradise. Lorena is an incredibly thoughtful, helpful, and amicable host. Not only was the treehouse beautifully decorated, clean, safe and tranquil, but Lorena went out of her way to make sure I felt right at home and got the utmost out of my experience with them. It is on a lush property with many opportunities to see wild birds and native plants. Would recommend 10 out of 10 for anyone looking to stay near to San Jose but want an authentic, relaxing and nature-filled stay. Very much the embodiment of "pura vida"! Will definitely come to stay again!

Pictures can't capture the true beauty of the property. It is amazing. During our Costa Rica stay, we spent time in several resorts, but none of them compared with the beauty and  peace we experienced at the Treehouse. Lorena was kind and genuine.

Absolutely the BEST Airbnb we have ever stayed at! The treehouse and property are so much more beautiful in person! The space was so peaceful, relaxing and clean! Lorena cooked breakfast for us every day we were there at whatever time worked for us. She was extremely responsive and answered many questions for us and gave fantastic recommendations. Lorena, Gerardo and their dogs were all so welcoming and friendly; you can tell they just love hosting guests. The shower made of volcanic rock was fantastic and the outdoor kitchen was stocked with anything we could’ve needed. The property itself was absolutely stunning and rich with lush vegetation. I cannot say enough about how absolutely wonderful our stay and the hosts were. We did not want to leave! Lorena made us feel like family.

Fue súper lindo conocerlos, espero vuelvan pronto, siempre estaremos aquí con los brazos abiertos para ustedes!!! :)

Beautiful property! My partner and I had an extremely relaxing last night in Costa Rica here. The grounds had a wide array of beautiful plants and we saw a number of wildlife while relaxing downstairs. The kitchen was well stocked, the bed super comfortable, and the hosts provided a number of amenities including shampoo/lotion/conditioner, earplugs, peppermint water, and fresh fruit. In the morning Lorena provided a delicious breakfast and gave us a tour of the farm. They are extremely friendly and welcoming - we did feel right at home. We certainly will be staying here next time we are in Costa Rica!

I booked this place for our last night before our flight the next morning rather than stay in a souless airport hotel. It was the right choice. It was beautifully furnished and Lorena was very welcoming and helpful. She also provided lots of lovely touches like fresh fruit, chilled water, coffee and fruit. It was a little noisy at night due to the heavy traffic on the nearby main road by we were helpfully provided with earplugs. I would recommend.

just book it, its a tree house in the rainforest what else do you want

Beautiful space and surroundings! So much thought to detail. Very comfortable unique stay. Was a bonus to walk the trails between the beautiful palm trees. Unfortunately we found the nearby highway really loud. That said, loved the proximity to airport. Just 25 minutes away.

Amazing place. Great got in late and Lorena met me and helped the taxi in through the gates. It was a breathtaking place and Lorena made great recommendations and even had a friend help guide me around. Overall outstanding and definitely the best way to spend my birthday. Lorena was so sweet and brought me breakfast and accommodated my dietary needs. You shouldn’t think twice, book this place!!!!

The treehouse where we stayed at was one of the most beautiful airbnbs we have ever stayed at! Our host Lorena was wonderful and we felt well taken care of right from the beginning! She made us great breakfast, offered some rare fruits, and showed us the beautiful grounds. We would highly recommend this Airbnb.

What a wonderful magical place! We LOVED Gerardo & Lorena’s treehouse! Their grounds and their plants are just fabulous. We spent the first and last night of our holiday here. We were made to feel very welcome and thought the accommodation was super stylish. Lorena showed us around the grounds - we loved talking to her - such an interesting woman! And her gallos pintos for breakfast were delicious! Thank you for a superb stay ❤️.

Rather than stay in a big box hotel when our evening flight touched down in San Jose, we had Lorena’s dear friend and go-to driver Yara pick us up at the airport.  We were so glad to have Yara as the 20 minute drive seemed pretty complicated.  But this oasis is worth it - a magical feeling tree house in a bamboo forest.  There were traffic sounds and the airplanes could be heard way in the distance, but this place feels like an absolute sanctuary, and extremely well protected and safe.  The casita is spotless, bed linens are wonderful, delicious & safe water.  The sleeping is upstairs and the bathroom is downstairs, just for those to know who get up for a mid-night pee.  Basic cooking supplies, mini-fridge, and just a fun “glamping” vibe.  Lorena is the best hostess on the planet, super responsive and kind, and will look after you with great care.  And hire Yara the driver - she used to drive buses to she makes navigating the local traffic look easy!

Very beautiful, clean place and extremely friendly hosts! Made us feel right at home! Very unique natural setting and close to the airport. Would definitely stay here again!

Lorena was incredibly welcoming and kind. The tree house is spectacular, with a beautiful sun rise and sunset. You are able to wild swim in the pond which was great, breakfast was delicious and Lorena took us on a walk of the grounds in the morning. Her son was extremely helpful and welcoming and overall I would recommend this stay to anyone and hope to come back one day.

Muchas Gracias Lorena y Gerardo for your hospitality. A very private location for a peaceful stay accompanied by very sweet and helpful hosts. We flew in the day of our stay. After many hours of travel this was a much need restful stop to kick off our trip. Me and my partner enjoyed Lorena’s recs to local markets, and tour of her property as it was beautiful and relaxing. This is a stay for those who want to experience and good blend of nature and modern amenities. Everything was as described, and we would visit again

We stayed at this treehouse as our last spot on our honeymoon. It was a beautiful place to relax. It felt secluded from the city, but several great neighborhoods for dinner and entertainment were just a short drive away. The property has beautiful botanical gardens with amazing palm and bamboo species. Lorena, a very gracious host, gave us a tour of the farm, and this was one of the coolest things we did in San Jose. She provided a wonderful breakfast every morning. While we didn't cook other meals there, she and Gerardo equipped the treehouse with everything you might need. Highly recommend this spot on your trip to San Jose!

Lorena is super sweet and accommodating. Her property is beautiful and surrounded by nature.

Loved staying here, only wish we had stayed longer!

The treehouse was a dream! The attention to detail from Lorena and Gerardo is unforgettable. I feel so grateful to be able to share this experience with my daughter. We felt super comfortable and given by Lorena's generosity when I explained everything to us and she was aware of us. We are very lucky to spend such an unforgettable time ❤️

The treehouse was a dream! The attention to detail from Lorena and Gerardo is unforgettable. Me siento tan agradecida por poder compartir esta experiencia con mi hija se sintió como magia, nos sentimos súper cómodas y entregadas por la generosidad de Lorena cuando nos explico todo y estaba pendiente de nosotras. Somos muy afortunadas por pasar un tiempo tan inolvidable ❤️

This place is beautiful & incredible! Lorena y Gerardo went above & beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable with everything I needed. They are both so lovely you can feel the welcoming & passion about their property in their smiles. Homemade breakfast & a farm walkabout was My favorite part. It was Comfortable, clean & very tranquil space to relax in

Staying at Gerardo & Lorena’s tree house was a lovely experience. My only regret is that I couldn’t stay longer. Lorena was very hospitable, made breakfast and took me for a walk around her property. I highly recommend this place to anyone going to or passing through San Jose

Great property, great hosts.  Daily home  prepared breakfast, and cleaning.  If you are looking for a relaxing get away, this is the place.  The hosts will help with all of your needs, including private drivers.  Hard to believe it is only 15 minutes to the airport.  Very well maintained and landscaped.  Walking paths that take you in to see the flora and fauna, even the river.  A great experience!

A fantastic jungle oasis escape! Lorena was so thoughtful with cold mint water and a fruit basket ready for us! The treehouse was comfortable, clean, and easy to find. We highly recommend!

Fabulous find! Great location, super well designed and eco-friendly, loved the grounds and all the wildlife and water features. Comfortable, spacious, and welcoming. Would definitely recommend!

Hands down one of the greatest Airbnb experiences we’ve ever had. From the warm greeting and incredible breakfast to the one of a kind tree house with outdoor kitchen and volcanic rock shower. This is a must. We can’t wait to come back.

Gerardo was wonderful! They waited for us late in the night since our flight was late to welcome and check us in. The tree house is amazing and in a wonderful location! Would love to come back

fantastic Airbnb. awesome sunset. cool treehouse. host prepared us breakfast in the morning. overall was a great ending to our trip. very close drive to airport afterwards. directions easy to follow to house. fruit basket was also much needed and appreciated and very tasty!

While we only stayed for one night, the treehouse was truly a magical end to our time in Costa Rica. Gerardo and Lorena were proactive about giving us all of the information we needed. And when our arrival time changed, they were so flexible and accommodating! Even though we arrived at night, Lorena welcomed us warmly, and even offered us a basket of fresh fruit and snacks. We were blown away by what we could see of our surroundings; the gardens were so lush. And the treehouse itself was amazing—so spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated! It felt luxurious without being fussy. Before we left, Lorena prepared a delicious breakfast for us; the rice and beans were so flavorful. We had an excellent visit, and only wish it had been longer. We would love to come back!

What a wonderful Airbnb! Super unique and a great place to end our Costa Rican honeymoon!  Lorena and Gerardo were very welcoming and hospitable. We loved the property and felt immersed in nature while being conveniently located close to a Covid clinic (for traveling requirements back to the States) and the airport. We decided to pick up a few groceries in town and eat tapas style in the beautifully appointed outdoor kitchen/dining area. We also checked out the sculpture park right down the road. We unfortunately couldn’t stay for breakfast, but Lorena and Gerardo provided a lovely fruit basket with a multitude of snacks that we were able to take with us. We are very thankful for such a nice stay. We really wish we could’ve stayed longer! We plan to tell our friends and family all about it!

This was the perfect spot and close to the airport. The location was beautiful and Lorena’s hospitality was amazing. Would definitely return!

Thank you! We had a wonderful time in the tree house. Everything was very nice. Lorena & Gerardo are excellent hosts. Very close to the airport San José. With pleasure we recommend this very special accommodation. Jasmin & Mad, Switzerland

Lorena & Gerardo are super nice, warm welcome, great service, amazing huge garden and nice « treehouse ».. Ideal for our night near the airport before leaving Costa Rica 😢

Our stay was unbelievable!!! Maria was such a great host, very accommodating and cooked us the best Costa Rican breakfast. Surrounded by beautiful botanical gardens and stocked with everything you need. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a relaxing and peaceful getaway!

This was a one of a kind experience. The Tree House is so cool and unique, and it's hosted by truly kind and generous people. Can't say enough good things about our experience. On a large walkable gated property. Loved it.

Wonderful tree house- recommend to get there before dark or call host to meet you when close.

Beautiful stay in a private and peaceful location. This is a must go to. The place is very clean and complete and is an experience like no other.

Lorena and Gerardo have an oasis near San Jose. There are not enough words to describe the peace and serenity you experience staying here. This is truly a unique experience. Lorena surprised us with delicious traditional breakfast during our stay. She even offered to give us our tamales to go since we had to leave early in the morning for our flight. They are genuine and want to make sure you’re happy and comfortable. We hope to return soon! Thank you Lorena & Gerardo!

Lorena is the BEST host and went above and beyond for us. This Airbnb is such a unique experience. Thank you :)

BOOK THIS TREEHOUSE!!!! It is seriously magic. We stayed at the treehouse at the end of our trip and it was one of the great highlights. It’s literally like staying at your fairy god mother’s house. The property is gorgeous and the treehouse is so beautiful and relaxing. You can feel the love and care these people have for their home and it permeates through the property. Not only that, but Lorena made us breakfast and her tamales were the best I’ve ever had. No one ever bothers to make homemade meals except for mamas and it’s obvious how loving she is and how she wants everyone to be comfortable. If this wasn’t enough to convince you, she also has three beautiful and friendly dogs if you like them! Her German Shepard Alpha was so funny and fun to play with, I miss her already!! Thank you guys so much for sharing your home with us. We’re so grateful to have spent our time here, it really felt like coming home even thousands of miles away from our actual home. We will definitely be back. Much love and appreciation, Malena+Vinny

Wow! WOW! WOWWWWW!!! What an incredible place to stay! I have stayed at many places around the world and this has got to be by far one of the most magical places I have ever been! Well worth the trip! This treehouse is surrounded by all things Costa Rica. The flowers, the unique trees, the river and the beautiful sounds of the animals — it was so peaceful and wonderful! The fruit basket and breakfast in the morning were just what I needed to end my vacation! I will visit again! Prepare to fall in love! The only suggestion would be to add a bug net around the lounge area but even without that I would stay here again and again she provides OFF spray and whatever else you need!

We love you!!! Hope you come back soon♥️

AMAZING. You much stay here if you are near San Jose. I would recommend staying for at least 2 days or as many as you can to take in the beauty of the home and surroundings. Just absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Has everything you could need for accommodations and plenty of nature to take in on walks within the property. Our only regret was not staying longer!!! Gerardo and Lorena provide the best hospitality. Location only a couple minutes from shopping, restaurants, etc. but when you enter the property you feel like you are on a complete other side of the world - - incredible !!

Lorena and her family were wonderful! We had a great time and already plan on coming back to Costa Rica and staying with her again. Very nature-esque. If you want a glamping experience this is it!

Very clean & tidy! Lorena & Gerardo had food for us and were extremely kind & welcoming!

This is the ultimate glamping experience.  From the perspective of someone who would never actually camp, let alone in the literal middle of a jungle, I can tell you that I survived. We arrived into what felt like being in the movie Jurrasic Park with the massive, tall palms and trees - felt very secure in the gated surroundings.  We stayed here as a gentle transition from authentic Mal Pais, to flying out of SJO and not wanting to be city-locked.  The theory worked, but I have to say that personally, it was not for me and I will probably choose a chain hotel in town the next time.  Hotels were a little less money per night and while this treehouse was exactly as advertised and the host was as gracious and kind as I have ever experienced, this is the only place in all of Costa that I felt I had to douse myself in harsh bug spray to not get eaten alive in the outdoor kitchen downstairs.  I just never settled in upstairs in the bedroom, as I just couldn't shake the creepy crawly feeling, albeit unfounded other than a large spider in the rocks of the shower.  We had a little chatty lizard join us inside the bedroom along the ceiling, which didn't bother me, and literally everything inside and out was immaculately clean, it was just not for me.  But if you have ever even sort of camped or stayed in a cabin-like place, this would be your dream.  It was very unique and close to the airport. We left for our flight at 3 am and the host had two drivers available if we needed them at that hour.  Note, the shower/bathroom is downstairs, so you have to walk down the dark steps, which also creeped me out a little, but again - totally just me - if you are an outdoors person, you will be in heaven. The bed had lots of pillows and was larger than a California King - must be a futon-like bed.  My 6'4" husband had tons of room. The host does have a chained guard dog which should be avoided, and two toy dogs that should be adored - gave us our fix for missing our dogs over two weeks of travel.  I also kind of wondered why she needed a guard dog, but all was fine.

My husband and I came here to close the last night of our honeymoon. And I am so glad we did. Lorena and Gerardo were truly wonderful hosts during our one night stay. They both made us feel like family. The room is absolutely stunning, clean, and calming. The property is absolutely stunning. You cannot go wrong by booking this place. The outdoor kitchen with the lounge area was perfect for a night cap. Love everything about this place. SO BUMMED we only stayed one night. Could have easily stayed for 6 nights.

Our stay was exquisite. Gerardo and Lorena are kind beyond belief. The surroundings are beautiful and serene and the tree house is simply perfect. We plan to visit again and highly recommend staying for as long as you can!

THank you for the wonderful stay, delicious breakfast, and warm hospitality!

Muchas gracias,

Gorgeous house and the land. We stayed there for one night before our flight home. Close proximity to SJO is unbeatable. Hosts gave us a tour of the beautiful garden, which we enjoyed. You can hear the road traffic on the property but that didn't bother us. Great hosts!

So peaceful and enchanting place. Near San José and yet you fill so far away. Gerardo and Lorena have this beautiful treehouse, with a good distance from their home. The treehouse is beautiful and magical, we felt at home! Is our second time visiting this amazing sanctuary. Highly recommended!

This was our second time staying at Gerardo and Lorena’s breathtaking property, and we had just as memorable an experience this year as we did last year. We left a hand written entry in their treehouse journal which I’ll share here for other guests to see: ———- “Gerardo and Lorena, Thank you so much for your hospitality and generosity. Your home has become a defining part of our experience in Costa Rica. It has been the perfect Sanctuary for us to unwind, relax, and catch our breath before heading home, two years in a row. Everything about the space is just so magical. From the botanical forest to the blue lotus flowers in the pond. The love and care that went into creating this home is evident everywhere we look, and it’s a reflection of you two. Some people say there are only a few places in the world that have a high vibrational energy such as the pyramids, mount Shasta, and standing stones, and we believe we found one of these high vibrational spaces right here in Alajuela - the treehouse oasis on your farm. Faris, Brianna, and Karolina” ——— This home is a very special place and we can only hope that others get the chance to admire and savor it as we have. If you are interested in reading about the logistics and experience of this home, feel free to read our review from last year which detailed our experience. Faris and Brianna

Really nice couple! Really great hosts with beautiful property!!

We spend our first two nights in Costa Rica at Lorena‘s and Gerado’s treehouse płace. The accommodation was absolutely perfect - located in a botanical garden with several plants and a natural lake, stylish interior, super clean, with a good equipped kitchen, a nice chill area and a super comfortable bed. Lorena was also a perfect host. Always very kind and helpful. We received a good breakfast and fruits, snacks and different drinks after arrival. The treehouse is located on a farm a little bit outside of the center, so make sure you have a car (4x4) if you want to explore the cities nearby. We always felt very safe as the treehouse was protected by two gate. The only think a little annoying were the loud sounds caused by the animals, the wind and the highway in the night. But we received ear plugs from Lorena, so it was okay to sleep in the night. For us it was the perfect start of our Costa Rica roadtrip and I would recommend this Place to everybody who do not want to do a typical touristic holiday! Thanks Lorena and Gerado for the opportunity to spend two days at your property! Linda & Dominik

We stayed here our first night in Costa Rica and what an amazing place to start our trip. It’s as stunning if not more so than the pictures online. Lorena and Gerardo are so friendly and welcoming and went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our stay. We loved it so much we’re going back to spend our last night in Costa Rica!

This tree house is the best air bnb I’ve ever stayed in.  Not only is it the coolest space ever, Lorena is an outstanding host as she goes above and beyond to make sure you have a perfect stay. A welcoming home, a beautiful surrounding, and quick easy access to the airport. Perfect end to our perfect Costa Rican adventure.

Such an amazing space. We only stayed for one night and as soon as we arrived wished we had more time to spend there! Such a beautiful, serene stay close to the city.

Gerardo and Lorena's place was incredible! My only regret is that we didn't get to stay longer! We can't wait to come back.

The tree house was lovely, close to the airport for our first night in Costa Rica. Lorena and Gerardo were great hosts.

Don't think twice about staying here!  An oasis right outside the city with an easy commute to the airport.  If you think the pictures are beautiful, then you will be blown away once you arrive!  Do yourself a favor and either cook in or get take out, and relax in this beautiful, unique space.

It is a great location and defiitely a good start for the vacation in CR. Close to the airport; in the middle of a botanical garden; a nice pond, when you come from cold European winter into a tropical country. Excellent. Martin & Claudia
