Unwind and immerse yourself in the beauty of Monteverde at our centrally located apartment. Whether you seek relaxation or captivating sights, our cozy retreat offers the perfect setting. Savor a cup of coffee on the balcony while observing local wildlife or indulge in a morning stretch on a yoga mat. Ideal for friends, couples, and small families, our accommodation is just 3 km from the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve and within walking distance of Curicancha, Bajo Del Tigre, and Crandell Reserves. Restaurants, grocery stores, and coffee shops are mere steps away, ensuring convenience and ease.

The apartment features two separate bedrooms with comfortable queen and full beds. Enjoy hot water on demand in the bathroom and kitchen. The highlight is the delightful terrace just off the kitchen, offering a scenic view of Monteverde's central area. Take a seat, relax, and witness stunning sunsets amidst sightings of birds and occasional monkeys.

Feel free to explore our yard and witness the flourishing plant life, including our Monteverde Coffee field. Additionally, we are a short walk from the Crandell Reserve, which offers free entry (we can provide directions), as well as the Curicancha and Bajo del Tigre- Children's Eternal Rainforest, both of which offer captivating night tours.

Nature preservation is a core value for us. Over the past 5 years, we have diligently planted over 500 native trees and plants on our property, contributing to reforestation and landscape preservation. Furthermore, a portion of our proceeds is donated to local conservation efforts through CorClima.

For your convenience, we provide a comprehensive house manual that includes WiFi codes. Enjoy the high-speed fiber optic cable at 100 Mgb for seamless connectivity.

Please note that being nestled in the forest, it is possible for small insects to make their way inside. Rest assured, they pose no danger. In fact, they play a vital role in sustaining the ecosystem by nourishing birds, frogs, and other wildlife, as well as supporting our own food sources.

Rest easy knowing that we take extra precautions to ensure a clean and sanitized environment, meticulously cleaning frequently touched surfaces between reservations.

We are delighted to assist you in booking tours and guiding you to the best Monteverde experiences. Whether you prefer a hands-on approach or simply wish to be handed the keys upon arrival and bid farewell at checkout, we are here to accommodate your preferences.

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!

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.

Checking out the Cloud Forest
This was a good location, central to the areas we wanted to visit. Lots of birds and other wildlife seen from the deck. Groceries and restaurants close by. The roads are not for beginners.

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.

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!

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.

Comfortable Condo
Appreciated the two bedrooms in the beautiful view. Feel secluded yet and easy walking distance to a Stellas Bakery and little grocery store named Whole Foods, but not associated with the American chain.

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.
