About this property

Enchanted Tree House experience with all the comforts!

Tree houses have something to say. They speak in an ancient language, and the message is universal: climb up and be in harmony with Nature.
Let go of earthbound encumbrances and be free. You may not be young enough any more to climb a tree, branch by perilous branch, but so what?
The important thing is being in the tree not how you get up in it. (Peter Nelson and Garry Hadden).

A unique experience, living in a giant rubber tree, nestled in its branches, with nature all around you. Fall asleep to the sounds of the jungle and wake up in luxury. Topo's Tree House has 2 decks, with an extra 3rd little deck to enjoy your morning coffee or an evening cocktail while looking out into the jungle's tree tops and flora. You might even share this moment with a passing sloth!
The 1st floor has a beautiful tropical wood deck, with carved posts and one side which is completely a wall of the giant tree's roots, creating a mosaic of shapes, twists and turns. There is a fully equipped kitchen, dining room, bathroom and terrace over-looking the tropical pond with its orchids and lilies. Relax in the hammock while watching parrots, hummingbirds and toucans as they fly by.
On the 2nd deck, there is a another living room on the open air terraced with a spectacular view looking over the canopy of trees and plants. The 2 bedrooms are adjacent to the living room, each with its own window opening out into the tree's branches. The main bedroom has a 4 poster-bed with a full Queen orthopaedic mattress, lots of pillows and a mosquito net draping over it, lamps and a security safe box. The other bedroom has 2 twin beds with mosquito nets and lamps. A large bathroom with 2 sinks, a full shower with glass doors, elegant tiles and beautiful hardwood cabinets.
The 3rd deck has its private little terrace with iron wrought chairs and table , feel completely enveloped in the trees living branches with hanging orchids.
On the 1st floor, an outside shower is found in between the trees roots.
Comforts are found everywhere, from the hot running water, fully equipped kitchen, wireless Internet, flat screen Satellite TV, outdoor BBQ, to a big fridge.
The large tropical gardens have been landscaped for years but retain their natural attraction. They have been nourished to be the home for different species of birds, poison dart frogs (harmless to humans by the way!), inviting sloths monkeys and butterflies. The tropical gardens are a home to much of the local wildlife. Little ponds for fish and turtles, bromeliads for frogs and flowers for butterflies. Stroll through this magical garden, truly a little Garden of Eden.
At only 200 mt. down the little sand road lies the beach of Playa Negra. A well known beach for surfers. The coconut trees, the beach, the surfers, swimmers and the famous 'Reggae Bar' make it a great place to relax and enjoy life. Sit on the open air terrace of 'Reggae Bar' over-looking the beach, feel the breeze as it moves through the palm leaves, enjoy a Pina Colada and the local dish of Coconut Chicken with Rice & Beans or a fresh Redsnapper grilled on the BBQ. Friday nights are 'Live Music' dance and move to the vibes of Reggae, Calypso and Blues. For the younger generation hit the town! The streets are full of locals and tourists dancing and having fun to the music of Reggae Dancehall.

A child dream comes true!
A once in a lifetime experience: While feeling save, you live on/in a giant tree in a little jungle with beautiful animals, sounds and flowers. With all luxury. And the owner, Topo, is a very charming host.

We stayed from January 7th to January 14th 2023. The tree house is beautiful! The setting is ideal, you are surrounded by jungle and you can hear the waves at night. The animals came to us! On the first day, we saw sloth (in the treehouse tree), lesser capiberra, toucan, silver monkey, howler monkey, large iguana, and BATS (they live in the treehouse with you). Topo informed me the the drive from San Jose was too long for the time we arrived (10pm) and advised us to stay the night in San jose. I attempted to make the reservation change several weeks prior and he rejected to change stating it was too late (Vbro policy states otherwise). When we arrive, Topo was clearly annoyed that we did not arrive on Saturday..... Topo gave us a tour of the beautiful treehouse and in that tour it was discovered that several lights did not work, and there was an electrical short in the bathroom light. Topo also pointed out that he needs to install anti slip tape on the stairs because they are slippery when dry and get wet when it rains ( yes my wfe and I both slipped but no injury) Topo stated that he needed to fix them but never did. After he left, we noticed that there were mice droppings in many locations. The main areas of the treehouse are open to the jungle. You need to realize this prior to staying incase you are not comfortable with bats, lizards, mice, cockroaches, etc. I fell thru the floor due to poor construction and maintenance.

Fantastico!
Topo’s treehouse is one to not miss !When you go in it is like entering into a fairytale!The detail that went into this is truly amazing .The bedrooms were very cool with AC units ,and even the outdoor spaces were comfortable and not at all buggy like you may think it would be since it is outdoors.The hammocks were a great place to relax in the treehouse also. The property is absolutely gorgeous and a short walk to the beach and Reggae bar.Topo could not have been any more kind ,helpful .and friendly. I highly recommend Topo’s treehouse adventure !

A rainforest experience, mere steps from a beautiful beach
Wake up refreshed to the calls of birds. Watch toucans in the trees off your deck. Spot the agouti while relaxing in a hammock. Witness the daily routines of the friendly fruit bat family. Take a short walk to the soft sand beach and the Reggae Bar. See sloths in the trees near town. Walk or drive less than a mile to the unforgettable Cahuita Natl Park, with its own beautiful beaches and abundant wildlife. Eat in town at Restaurante Pizzeria Cahuita, with its beautiful seaside deck. If you're ok with a natural experience and some creepy crawlies (e.g. cockroaches in the bedrooms in the evening) then you will be rewarded with an authentic and unforgettable Costa Rican getaway. Don't forget the binoculars!

Magical treehouse
I have rented 3 separate treehouses and this is the only one that is truly in a tree! The house itself is better than what is listed and the property is amazing. Great location to do everything or nothing. Topos was so helpful in assisting us with everything from surf lessons to fixing a flat tire. Thank you for a very memorable stay, we will return!

About the host

Hosted by Slavko Topolovsek

Host profile image
I was born in the rural country of Slovenia but grew up in Germany. Since as far as I can remember my love of nature was strong. Working hard in Germany, my hobby, then my passion and later to become my profession, was of frogs ,especially poison dart frogs. I made over 40 trips to different parts of the world to discover, find and photograph these little jewels. One of these trips brought me to Cahuita, in Costa Rica. At the time I was looking for the Dendrobatidae which was in this area, and still is to this day. It was love at first sight, I knew I had to come back and make this my home.
Returning to Germany I worked very hard to make the money necessary to buy a property and to start a new life, the one I had always dreamed of.

Why they chose this property

I came back in 1987 and bought 2 hectareas of land in Cahuita by the beach Playa Negra. There, as I camped under the star lit skies at night, surrounded by thousands of fireflies, I would imagine and make plans of my dream tree-house built in the giant tree that was towering over my property. At first I built my home and as life does, plans changed, life moved on.

What makes this property unique

Realizing this childhood dream took over 17 years. It is a return to innocence and escape from the everyday routine. A sensation of freedom, peace and tranquility that only a living tree can create.
I designed the gardens especially as a habitat for the beautiful poison dart frogs that have always been my passion and planted orchids (yes, my second passion) I also made it attractive for hummingbirds, parrots, toucans and butterflies. Because I did not cut down the trees, but built around them, respecting nature, this facilitated the sloths to cross my property and to eat from the leaves of trees they needed. Monkeys found shelter and so did the iguanas. From the dry season where thousands of lit up fireflies would fill the air, to the rainy season when the chorus of a multitude of different types of frogs would sound like an orchestra. The sounds of the jungle, so deep and so magical. I was bewitched and in love with this area on the Caribbean of Costa Rica, and still am to this day. Cahuita became my home, its people my friends and the nature my ally.
