The treehouse is beautiful and built to be sturdy. You float in the treetops and are completely surrounded by the jungle. It must have been part of a complex with several houses, of which apparently only this house is still rented. The paths are gradually overgrown and becoming wild. The trails listed are therefore barely passable. The house itself is perfect.

Super secluded, and surrounded by animals. Being so close to the canopy allowed us to see fauna up close that we otherwise wouldn’t from the forest floor. During our stay we saw Toucans, a pit viper, kinkajous, and several species of amazing bugs.

Simply an incredible experience. We stayed at one of the further away lodges with the rope bridge linking both sleeping lodges. Beyond amazing! There was torrential rain when we arrived & the sun was going down. The remoteness and atmosphere made it like being in an Indiana Jones adventure! - Our kids (12 & 15) loved it (I'm so glad that it rained so heavily!!) We've travelled across Southern Africa in a 4x4 using a roof top tent and we thought to that was exciting - this, however, was another level of remoteness! Good tip. Near base camp there is an amazing river that you can swim in. It's very safe & a great temperature. If you're not into adventures & don't like bugs, then this is not for you. Otherwise you will love it! We stayed there for 2 nights & it was one of the highlights of our 2 week Costa Rica adventure!

So it was an absolute experience to immerse yourself in nature. The solar was defective and everything was easily resolved. That happens. The access is as described only with four-wheel drive and ground clearance is also necessary. The hiking trail to the tree house fits with about 20 minutes and leads partly over laid loose tread plates. Mosquitoes didn't eat us either, although a few fly screens had holes. Would we book it again? Yes, even if we didn't see as many animals as we wanted.👍

No lights or refrigeration after 7pm. Extremely limited hot water. Plan for cold showers. Constant incessant beeping alarm from a locked room under the house damaged the experience. Reported it to host after we departed as there was no way to communicate while in this off the grid home and they said they were sorry but it was out of their control. We asked if the alarm was related to the lack of electric power and they said they had no idea what was causing the alarm. Hate to give a less than positive review as the house is nice - the original concept of the group of homes interesting- but the noise was really pretty evil as I shared with the host. The entire compound is in significant decline. We were the only guests in this entire complex during this period. A recent landslide a few weeks back still blocks one of the main trails - trail maps are aspirational as most were overgrown and deteriorating in all ways. If they can’t confirm the alarm is solved do not go here.

If you want to stay “on your own” in a very special location this is it.

This tree house is very special. You are alone, far from civilization in an accommodation in the middle of the jungle. There is only forest far and wide. The drive to the parking lot is very adventurous and impossible to reach without 4x4. Then a hike through the jungle on slippery paths. It is recommended to bring all food and enough clothes for the duration of the stay. It is very humid and nothing dries anymore. If you're looking for jungle adventures, you have to book this.

An amazing place in the middle of the jungle, cabins that we will not be able to forget. Nature lovers should not miss this experience. 🥰

Nice secluded spot up on the mountain, good location if you’re looking for a true off grid experience. Very accurate to the listing, and the message sent of warnings of it being a jungle experience with bugs and a hike to get to. Definitely wouldn’t recommend trying to lug a suitcase or a lot of goods up to the treehouse. We did a river hike from the base camp with waterfalls and swimming pools that was the highlight of our two week trip. It’s an interesting place you’d be hard pressed to match elsewhere. Only negatives aren’t on the host or the property, if members of your group struggle with terrain they may have difficulty reaching the house. A decent 4x4 is also required to climb the hill as others have noted. We did see monkeys, snakes, and a ton of different birds. I would recommend to any adventure seekers.
