Description

Discover the Treehouse of Life at the ARK. You will experience the magic of our tropical flora and fauna, and rolling rain on a metal roof in rural Puerto Rico "el campo". This is truly a treehouse in a Flamboyan tree, planted 30 years ago for this purpose. It is outdoors and 20' up, no doors, open to nature  with views of our jungle. This unique experience is complete with the occasional visit by bats, birds, geckos, or coquis (local frogs). The jungle vibe is evident the moment you enter.
 
The space
Be aware, that you will awaken to rooster songs and fall asleep to a symphony of birds and frogs. Ear plugs are recommended and bring Melatonin or another sleep aid if you have a hard time falling or staying asleep. The mini-kitchen includes electric skillet, microwave oven, mini-refrig, and coffee maker. The mini-kitchen is great for re-heating already prepared food. NOT intended for cooking meals. The bathroom is more than adequate with a hot shower, vessel sink, and compost toilet. A new treehouse has been added nearby and voices may be heard through the foliage. Please be respectful of the other guests. And they've been asked to do the same. Note: Puerto Ricans love their dogs and several live close by. Please contact the Property Manager if there is excessive barking.
 
Guest access
Guests have access to the 5 acres of grounds landscaped with brick and flagstone walkways, terraces, rock walls & various ponds. The living space is 20' up in the air accessed by 12 stairs to the lower platform and 12 stairs to the upper deck. Please do not book this listing if you have physical limitations or are afraid of heights. A back pack or small toiletry bag is the best way to carry your necessities up the stairs.
 
Other things to note
The Treehouse of Life located in a dense 5-acre Botanical Garden/Jungle. Summers are 80-95 and rainy. Oct & Nov are buggy months, but the mosquito netting provides protection for sleeping. Winters are 65-80 and dryer, It can be chilly in the evenings and early mornings. Guests will want to bring warmer clothes like warm ups, socks, long-sleeve T-shirts or light jackets. Bug spray and long pants and long sleeves are advised for protection at dusk. A poncho for excursions is a good idea as well. The tropical storms are between August and December and strong weather can cause power outages. We close if winds are predicted to be over 40mph - we will advise to re-book or Cancel, we do give an inclimate weather refund of 50%.

Very Nice!!


Such a great experience in the treehouse. I wish we would have booked another night. I do recommend ear plugs if you are a light sleeper with the outdoor sounds and dogs in the area but overall really fun experience.

beautiful treehouse


The tree house of life was beautiful. Took a moonlit walk through the gardens at night and explored more in the morning. Didnt realize there were other tree houses and huts in close proximity but mostly felt private.

The treehouse is beautiful


This was a one of a kind experience. The treehouse is beautiful, comfortable and well equipped We had zero problems with bugs - just one visit from a coqui. The treehouse was less remote than we expected but there weren\'t guests in the other treehouse so it was fine.

Great experience


We\'re so glad to have had this unique experience. We were fortunate that there no one else booked at the other treehouse, so it felt private and special. When we arrived, it really felt like we were surrounded by birds, frogs, insects, and skinks in the woods nearby, and it was magical. There were other sounds of civilization, including the electric transformer and barking dogs, that reminded us that we were not in the wild, but we were still thrilled to sleep in such a beautiful and lovingly constructed place. Lots of personal touches.
