Karen and Ron's tree-house is an amazing place in an amazing location. Built by hand as a labor of love, the cottage seamlessly merges historically significant Southeast Asian architecture with historically significant surfing boards and memorabilia. The grounds are kept as a lush jungle on what would otherwise be a barren lava bed. It's steps away from the best snorkeling on the island. This place is not sealed from the environment like a cookie-cutter island condo: it is one with nature so you need to be cool with nature sounds and critters... a huge tree grows through it, after all. We loved it.
