TreeTop House Getaway · 3 Floors of Privacy in the Jungle

Three floors of privacy in the jungle. The TreeTop House Getaway is one of the oldest buildings in the area, a historic, artist-designed house in the quiet Quaker community of Monteverde, set in the Cloud Forest above Santa Elena and only minutes from town. Built on a solid steel frame, it has stood safely through many windy seasons.

Two couples get real privacy here: each has its own level, and there are two showers plus an extra toilet, so no queuing in the morning. A small family gets an adventure: winding wooden stairs, little rooms full of corners, a hammock, and windows looking out into the green forest. It feels a bit like Robinson Crusoe built it, and Pippi Longstocking would move in at once.

Watch toucans and hummingbirds from the terrace over breakfast, listen to the forest at night, and walk to the reserves, waterfalls and restaurants of Monteverde. The house is rustic and full of character, with almond-wood floors and eclectic art.

Good to know: the house has many stairs between floors, so it suits guests who are sure-footed. Hosted by Sabine, who has welcomed guests in Monteverde since 1999 and is always a message away.
The vacation home features a kitchenette, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. The vacation home also includes a coffee maker.

In the Trees

The property was just as described. Clean, in the treetops, with local art in the home. We saw four rainbow toucans each morning from the breakfast table. Had great tours of MonteVerde and were able to drive to town (5 minutes away) for great meals. Lovely stay.

Tree House Review

Probably best for 12-15 young adults who just want to sleep there. No bathroom on main floor where there are 5 beds. All bathrooms should have towels, soap & trash cans. Kitchen supplies in poor shape.

A Rustic Stay in Monteverde

Overall the TreeTop House met our needs. We are a family of 7 traveling together and wanted to spend a few days in Monteverde. The Treetop House was able to sleep all of us easily. The pros of this property are its relatively inexpensive price for the number of people it can sleep. The one major drawback was that there was no place for everyone to sit together other than the kitchen area (i.e., there is no living room type of area for seven people to sit down as the place is configured to use every sq. ft. for sleeping.If you need an inexpensive place to sleep a lot of people in Monteverde, this is a good choice.

Very unique

This house is very unique and interesting. However, it was very difficult for my mother to get around with all the uneven stairs. The pictures are accurate, there is not a large room to gather and the chairs/stools are uncomfortable. The middle floor with the bedrooms doesn't have a bathroom, so you have to go outside to change floor levels and this involves needing a key. The house moves with the wind and and is one of a kind in every way.

As advertised, quaint and nearby but out of the noise.

Stayed at the treehouse March 9-11 2025. We enjoyed our stay, and but for one of my daughters (afraid of anything with 4 legs), I think we’d all be happy to stay there again. Details:Kitchen is exactly as the images. Bedrooms for THIS UNIT (see below) are as follows:- 1 dbl bed through a doorway from the kitchen- 2 dbl beds on the floor below in a nice room. - 1 ? dbl ? bed on same floor, its own room. - 2 dbls and a single in a room under that floor (all accessible by stairs as in photos). Nice sitting area in kitchen (4 stools) and 1 off of it (4 seats) for dining. Fridge is functional and clean. Several seating areas on the two lower levels outside, really nice views across the small valley above Santa Elena - nice toucan viewing for us. We liked the kitschy house for what it was. Advertised honestly and felt like a funky cabin - perfect for us. NOTE: there is at least 1 unit beneath the 1 we stayed in; no idea if ever rented out to other parties at the same time, but vacant for our whole trip. Worth a question to the host. Host Sabine exceptionally responsive and helpful. If she owned other properties (again, no idea) I’d seek them out for that reason alone. Things that could have been better? Listen, this isn’t a casita de lujo. It’s on the side of a mountain up from 3 other homes but secluded. Yes, there are critters. Found a scorpion one evening but hey, you’re in the jungle. But honestly no gripes. Truthfully advertised and worth it!
