What Would You Dream, Sleeping In A Tree Utila's Only Treehouse

First we'd like to say that it was an adventure to remember and check off the bucket list. There are some things that should be in the listing such as possible extra charge for electricity if you use the A/C all day and that the area is prone to blackouts both scheduled and unscheduled which these can be rough in summer heat. Bucket shower on upper floor deck is great for cooling down, loved it. After looking at condition of some of the cooking utensils that had some rust and all there is to cook on is a little induction burner we opted to eat out since there are lots of reasonable delicious places to eat. Even though the main road isn't that long of a walk there is going to be a lot more walking to get to the places on the main road so highly suggest renting golf car as we did or other mode of transport. TukTuks are great but they too have a life and seem to thin out in the evenings and can be hard to get when you need them. Even though it is an adventure we really thought it to be overpriced for the condition of the treehouse and the lack of amenities and conveniences. The treehouse is unique and the view from top deck is beautiful and we did enjoy our stay thanks to all the great people who prepared us beforehand and the quick introduction by JJ of the treehouse. Also, Josie's at Pilot Town by the ferry dock made sure we stayed well fed. We will be going back but will definitely stay someplace that has back up generator.

One of the coolest experiences ever. Hosts were fantastic! Kitchen well equipped. We saw the other inhabitants of the tree but they definitely mind their own business. LOVE UTILA!

We lived out our Swiss Family Robinson childhood dreams! You can tell the owners take great pride in this property. They paid attention to every detail. My favorite part was hanging out in the hammock on the top deck and enjoying the breeze. We would walk downhill to town and then take a Tuktuk back. This will be an experience that We will never forget!

The treehouse was exactly as pictured in the vrbo photos. It was clean, aircon and the shade of the tree kept us cool when needed and the views from the top were amazing. The shower has excellent water pressure for those of you with long hair. Our kids 10 and 12 loved exploring the tree ladders and platforms with us at night to see what animals would come out we had geckos, anoles, tree frogs, preying mantis (2kinds), bats, curly haried tarantulas Betsy and Bob, tree snail, katydids perfect for the nature lover and kid explorers. Communication was smooth with the property manager and wifi was good enough to do zoom calls for work. The only noise at night were the tree frogs, cicadas geckos and the wind in the tree leaves. Just a short walk to town and we cooked 2/3 of our meals in the kitchen here.

I was so excited to stay in the tree house! We were the Swiss Family Robinson all week! It was a great choice for us and such a unique stay! My husband LOVED the bucket shower and the view from the hammock on the top floor was fantastic! A word of warning though....there are a few critters that will come and visit....but don't worry they are scared of you and won't hurt you a bit! Thanks to JJ for the hospitality!

This place is simply amazing, and the property managers and owners are exceptional. The treehouse is a real work of art and passion, so if you are looking for something special - look no further. Utila is laid back and great fun in the sun... but the treehouse is a calming refuge from the water activity. My nephew is 17 and he and I spent 5 days here and it was amazing. I am not sure when we might get back, but the peace and tranquility will be in our memories for a long time. Thanks to the owners and their team - an excellent experience!

Such an incredible place to stay. It is a treehouse nestled off the beaten path so there may be a few bugs, maybe a friendly lizard or spider but nothing that doesn't add to it's charm. Mosquitos are everywhere on this island though so make sure you have bug repellent! All in all I would highly recommend to friends and family, and will definitely return!

We took our two girls 13 & 15 for the diving. The treehouse was great, we loved it. The diving did not disappoint. We went looking for Whale Sharks and found a pod of Pilot Whales, which were even more rare. We went sport fishing and caught a Barracuda that was bait for double hooked Marlin's. This was a trip of a lifetime. I would go back and I don't say that about many places:) The people were friendly and it seemed like they wanted to know you.

Great place and I would stay again. Loved the outside shower and views. The only downside is it is a bit out of the main town, but we rented transportation from Rooney's and it wasn't a problem at all.

My husband and I stayed in the Treehouse for a week and it was hands down the most unique, and beautiful place I've ever stayed! It's even more amazing than the photos and Tina and JJ went above and beyond to ensure we had a great trip. We don't dive but still had a ton to do on Utila including kayaking through the mangroves, exploring the island on the ATV we rented, eating at all the delicious restaurants, snorkeling and relaxing in the hammocks of the beautiful decks. The house's location couldn't be better: complete seclusion and privacy but very close to the adorable, clean and safe town of Utila. I was a little nervous that I may be too bug averse for something so adventurous, but the home is just that... truly a home in a tree versus camping like conditions and I'm glad that concern didn't deter me from this once in a lifetime experience. Thanks for sharing this amazing experience with us! -Joy and Zack
