Tucked among native trees and flowering plants that attract birds and wildlife, our home offers a rare combination of tranquility and walkable access to Monteverde’s best trails, shops, and restaurants.

Wake up to birdsong and morning mist as you sip coffee from your private balcony. You might spot toucans, monkeys, or even a curious coati passing by. In the evening, enjoy sunset colors over the canopy—a perfect end to a day of exploration.

We provide a clean, sanitized space between every stay and respect both guest comfort and the local environment. We also have essential oils and cotton if you want to rub across the window sill as this will help reduce mini-ants coming to visit. Even scorpions are not dangerous here, so we try to remember that they too serve an important purpose in our eco-system.

Great 3 days

Jorge and Miriam were very responsive , and we enjoyed our time there . We had a few visits from spider monkeys in the trees nearby . The trees also provided enough shade to keep the house from getting too hot and didn’t need AC. Thanks !

Great place for adventures in Monteverde

Great stay in Monteverde

We had a very nice stay in this property. Just two minute walk to Stella’s which had excellent food. Place was clean and comfortable. It’s very dark there at night so do take flashlights. There is a magnificent tree in the back where you can see birds on a daily basis.

Birdwatching extraordinaire!

What a great spot for birding! We saw so many right off the balcony. We also saw capuchins, squirrels, and a coati. The apartment was clean and just as advertised. Wonderful spot, close to Monteverde, Curi Cancha, and Santa Elena. Hoping to return in another year!

Great rainforest location

This property was as advertised. The owners were very helpful and available. Cute, comfortable apartment with a great deck for birding. The grounds were a bit wild but it suited the environment. Walking distance to a little grocery store and restaurants. The forest reserve which was accessible by trails from the property was a bonus.

Monkeying around in Monteverde

We enjoyed our stay. The condo was clean and we enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the birds and monkeys in the tree. The only down time was that we had the middle condo and the noise from the upper unit was very annoying at times.

Great Monteverde Location

We loved the location. Stella's is fantastic for breakfast and the coop is great for a quick lunch and souvenir shopping, both a short walk down the hill from the property. The short road to the property is small and easy to miss, but is right next to Stella's. The cloud forest preserve is a short drive away, though there are other reserves very close to the location plus a waterfall. The property itself was nice, and we loved being able to open the large windows in the morning before heading out. The only downside is that we didn't stay longer to enjoy the area!

Great rental in Monteverde

Me and my mother spent a night in this property over New Years ending 2020. This is a beautiful cabin with 2 rooms with king size beds and a well equipped kitchen and comfortably furnished living room. The kitchen was well-equipped. The property manager, Mr. Torres, had kindly presented us with a loaf of banana bread and had with some great coffee from his farm, when we arrived. This place is conveniently located, and is just a couple of minutes walk from Stella's bakery, Whole Foods and the Coffee shop in Monteverde. It is also 5 min drive from the entrance to the main reserve forest in Monteverde. Great place for couples of a family to stay in.

Incredible Nature Retreat, Great for Telework

I had an amazing 5 night stay with Jorge and Myriam and could not be happier. There is a dedicated parking spot behind the gated entrance, and a pedestrian entrance if you are traveling without a car. I was able to telecommute and video conference easily, and you are walking distance to two cafes and coffee zhops. The fig tree is always full of birds, including visits from toucans, toucanets, and many more. There were also monkey visitors 3 days in a row and agoutis in the yard. I arrives late the first night due to a flight delay, but Jorge ensured I was able to find the place safely and gave incredible recommendations for nature activites in the area. The unit is on the second floor, giving a privileged view of the area and the tree line, and is accessible via a ramp with just one step, making it easy to bring in your things. The kitchen and unit is well equipped, and I could not have asked for anything more to make my stay feel like home. Cannot wait to visit again

An amazing location!

Great location for visiting Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve (get there as early as you can... we stayed all day). We also loved walking the property this apartment is on and nearby Crandell Memorial Reserve. Sitting on the balcony was a treat in itself! We saw many Emerald Toucanets, a wood rail, a gorgeous Toucan, Turquoise-browed motmots, chachalacas, and so many others as well. Plus the monkeys! Walking in the Crandell Reserve, we saw Agouti and countless incredible birds. It's a treasure of a location. The shower and shower door need a bit of work, but we managed, and I was grateful to have a washer/dryer as this was the last stage of our time in Costa Rica. It was a bit warm, and would loved to have been able to shade from the sun at the kitchen window - because it made the apartment so warm. But once the sun dropped, it cooled off nicely. Hosts were sweet and helpful as could be. This place gets all the stars!

Cloud Forest Retreat

The location is perfect for visiting the nearby Reserves, and convenient to a couple of nice restaurants and a small grocery store. The temperature is perfect, and even refreshingly cool when it mists. And that was an experience...bright, direct sun with microscopic mist blowing through! As advertised, the apartment is compact with one bathroom, so you need to be comfortable with your traveling companions. Additionally, as noted in other reviews, this is the middle unit and you can definitely hear the upstairs neighbors walk and if there's children, its noticible. Bottom line, this is an inexpensive rental with basic amenities in a great location. If you enter with those expectations its a great value.

Surrounded by Green

My family of four had a great stay here. The bedrooms were comfortable, the kitchen worked out great, and we loved being surrounded by all the trees and nature. Location was close to many parks, restaurants, and a small market. It was nice having the washer and dryer, especially after a downpour. The shower was a little tricky but we managed. Loved just hanging out on the deck, listening to nature and watching the sky. We would definitely stay again.

Foto de perfil del anfitrión
I am native to Monteverde and have lived most of my life in the area. I am a Naturalist guide (inquire about tours), biologist who has worked extensively in education/conservation. My wife is originally from Morocco, speaks 4 languages (English, French, Spanish, Luxembourguish) works in bringing solar to nonprofits and public health. We have a young boy that keeps us busy and happy.

We love to hear about where our guests come from and what brings them here. We hope you will enjoy your stay with us.

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

When you stay with us, you are helping support a local family with deep ties to the community. We take great care to keep our place clean and hope our guests are comfortable in the time they spend indoors. The apartment has two separate bedrooms, both with full beds. The bathroom offers hot water shower, low-flow toilet, and washer and dryer unit. There is a great deck right off the kitchen with nice view towards Monteverde central. Be prepared to spot some birds and occasional monkeys.

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

Monteverde has a great grass field where locals like to hang out in the afternoons (weather permitting). Plus you can't beat dining at Tramontis, or Cabure, enjoy the Bat jungle and chocolate tour, join a coffee tour, or visit CASEM (women's coop). Plus the best bakeries in town (Zuccaros and Stellas) are right here. Tour companies will pick you up in front of the coffee house. We are happy to help you book tours and guide you to some of the best Monteverde has to offer. We will be as hands-on as you like or simply give you the keys and see you as you check out.
