The Treehut was exactly as described and was very cozy. I particularly liked the electric blanket.

The shared living room/bathroom was not very clean and the ragged stained towels should be replaced with new ones.

Cute cosy treehouse - ideal for bikepacking

6.0

the treehouse is cute, comfy and warm (electric blanket). In the morning, birds sing in the trees right outside.

the common space is very basic, and the window sills were covered in dead bugs and spider webs

Overall, everything was fine love the dog property. Owner was nice was just overcharged probably boo

5.0

Thought I was paying 55.00 for the night but after entering my credit card it went to 110.00 what a scam took a photo of what I agreed to pay and took a picture of what I was charged. Will be calling my credit card company when I get home to dispute the extra charge this was BS Booking. Sucks you seem to do better at ripping people off than anything else. I don’t believe it was the property owner. I’ve had experience in the past with booking.com scammers

Outdoor lights were left on made it hard to sleep. Had to find the plug to turn them off. He is Pat on bed was on high had to also unplug it couldn’t find the controls stairs were very slippery and narrow going up to treehouse although property owner was very nice too bad she’s dealing with booking.com
