Wow! This tree house is posh and it is apparent from the second you receive your check-in email and guide that there is so much thought and consideration put into everything related to the house and your experience.
We arrived around 4PM (I'm glad it wasn't after dark). Turned down #3 and drove to the end where a nice parking spot, bamboo arch, and tropical flowers welcomed us.
Walked up the path and were awestruck. Even though I'd watched the You Tube videos about how Kristie made her dream happen...it's still very cool to be standing in the rainforest looking up for the first time. My husband had no idea we were staying in the tree house so he was just stunned altogether.
- Lock box is easy
-Use the pulley for luggage
-Ladder stairs are fun and take a few times to get used to.
- Decor is like a cool boutique inn.
- Explore the outside and inside. Kristie has cool books and things placed all around for your amusement.
- The bed is comfortable and high which leaves room for your luggage to go underneath and out of the way.
- You definitely need two bags of ice for the cooler if you plan on using it. We bought cream for coffee, beer, wine, and put Thai Thai leftovers in the cooler. One bag wouldn't be enough.
- Sleep with porch doors open and screens closed (I swear this is the place that relaxing sleep machine recordings are made...but it's the real deal).
- Set up the chair and tables on the lanai and take the binoculars for bird watching.
- Make time to take a nap on the hanging bed...so relaxing.
- The shower, with open windows, is incredible. Great bath products, and surreal surrounding.
- We were lucky to see the pig family several times. Drive slowly down the lane since they'll dart out in front of you sometimes. Super cute!
You might have to get over the hump of being "out there" and remote (especially at night). The solar powered flickering tiki torches help, but you just have to take some deep breaths and listen to the gentle rain and frogs at night and RELAX since the entire stage has been set.
Thanks to Kristie for sharing her creation with others. We will be talking about this one for years to come and are very grateful to have experienced this particular slice of heaven.
