Reviews

This was the perfect spot for a weekend getaway!! River access was within 100 steps.
Very lovely place. It was perfect for our anniversary night.
We had a wonderful stay! Our host was very helpful when we had questions. The treehouse is adorable and cozy. We definitely recommend staying here!
My boyfriend and I did a weekend getaway to La Pluma and it was the perfect retreat from our busy lives!
Worth every cent. A great mini getaway for my birthday. So peaceful. So serene. So clean.
I honestly wish we would’ve stayed longer than two nights. The bed was very comfortable and the space in the treehouse was just right for two and it was also very clean!!
