Have you ever dreamed of sleeping high up in the branches of old oak trees, with the rustling of the leaves to help you fall asleep and the morning song of the birds as your alarm clock? The Bockhop tree house hostel in Borstel, Lower Saxony, makes this dream come true in a way that will delight real tree house lovers: the houses rest solely on 150-year-old oak trees, without solid foundations, stilts or poles. Up to eight meters above the ground, you will find an oasis of peace that lets you experience nature in a way that is hardly possible anywhere else.
The treehouse hostel currently offers two accommodations: the award-winning treehouse “Bel Etage” (according to its own information, the largest rented treehouse in Germany and winner of 1st place in the international Treehouse Contest 2021) and the house “Solitär”. Both are fully insulated, equipped with a wood-burning stove and infrared heating and can therefore be booked all year round. Including your overnight stay, you have free access to the spa area with heated whirlpool, barrel sauna and outdoor shower as well as to the covered outdoor kitchen on the 25,000 square meter garden grounds.
Amenities Overview:
If you are traveling with children, please note the following: The Baumhaus-Herberge Bockhop is a child-free retreat; guests must be at least 16 years old. This makes it particularly suitable for couples and nature lovers looking for real peace and quiet. Surrounded by horse pastures and in the migration area of cranes that rest here every year on their way to Africa, Bockhop is a place you won’t soon forget. You can find more information in a report on Stern.de.
Treehouse Overview
Bel Etage tree house
The “Bel Etage” tree house is the hostel’s flagship. With 38 m² of living space and a furnished roof terrace of 18 m², it sets new standards in tree house construction. In the living and dining area, the supporting oak tree grows right through the house and gives you a special experience of nature in the middle of the room. The separate bedroom with double bed offers you a beautiful view of the treetop. The facilities also include a Rondo wood-burning stove, a kitchenette and a bathroom with a composting toilet. Bed linen, towels and firewood are included.
Solitaire tree house
The second tree house “Solitär” is in no way inferior to its big brother when it comes to atmosphere. On 32 m², it offers you a cozy living room, a bedroom with double bed, dining area, kitchenette and a loggia to pause and take a deep breath. Here, too, a wood-burning stove and infrared heating ensure that you can spend a pleasantly warm night all year round. Alpaca hair comforters are included.

How do you like the Baumhaus-Herberge Bockhop? Please leave us a review. You are helping us and other nature lovers. Thank you very much 🙂 !
An absolute hidden gem!The owners, Hans and Silvia (and their sweetest dogs) made us feel welcome the minute we arrived. The treehouses are just stunning - beautifully built overlooking the lush greenery and tastefully decorated, even with a fireplace. For us, the best was sitting in the swinging chairs on the 8m high rooftop terrace, surrounded by oak branches and birds’ chirping.It’s really impressive that the whole thing is done and managed by Silvia and Hans. You can tell from talking to them how much effort they put into it and how passionate they are.For dinner they treated us with the most delicious burgers, and breakfast included scrambled eggs using eggs from the hens in the garden.I could write a page more but Hans said no need to write too much, so here’s the bottom line: come here, you’ll have an amazing time!

Anyone looking for a relaxing and romantic getaway for two will find this place perfect. Located about 2 km from the nearest town, the hostel is nestled in a forest with a beautiful, large garden where you can unwind and relax. The wellness area, complete with a whirlpool, sauna, and outdoor shower, is also a wonderful place to relax. And the breakfast, prepared by Hans, left nothing to be desired.Many thanks to Silvi and Hans for the four fantastic days.

Even more than a year after our stay, we still regularly talk about the Bockhop Treehouse Hotel – and that really says it all. ❤️We spent a wonderful break from everyday life there. As soon as you enter the grounds, you can simply leave the stress behind. The treehouses are designed with such attention to detail that you immediately feel at home and can simply relax.An absolute highlight for us was that our dog, Henri, was warmly welcomed and allowed to roam freely throughout the entire property. This is anything but a given and made our stay perfect.We were also incredibly lucky with the weather and were able to fully enjoy the beautiful garden with its many cozy retreats, as well as the fantastic spa area. It was pure relaxation.But what truly makes this place unique are Silvie and Hans. Their warm and welcoming nature immediately made us feel like we weren't just guests, but rather part of the family. Such hospitality is rare.The breakfast was also simply outstanding and left nothing to be desired. You can see in every detail how much love and passion goes into everything here.We're still basking in the memories of this special getaway and are already looking forward to coming back. Thank you so much for these unforgettable days!Leona, Jannik & Henri 🐾

As a birthday present, we got a break from everyday life! We felt very comfortable here, as the atmosphere is cozy and the amenities leave nothing to be desired. An absolute recommendation for anyone who wants to experience something special! The treehouse lodge is a truly unique experience and the perfect place to unwind amidst nature and take a little time out. We enjoyed using the wellness area and the relaxing loungers in the garden (e.g., the hammock). We would especially like to highlight the very friendly and entertaining hosts, whose warm hospitality made our stay even more enjoyable. The service was also excellent. We would love to come back and can wholeheartedly recommend the treehouse lodge!
