Great stay!
The listing is exactly as pictured and described. The property is nicely secluded but still close to everything. It is easy to get to, yet private. We felt completely safe to walk around the property day and night looking for wildlife. We saw coatis, agoutis, howler and white faced monkeys as well as toucans, hummingbirds, bell birds and mot mots. At night we could watch the lightening from the thunderstorms above the gulf put on an amazing show. The host was a great communicator with the location, meeting us at the house and showing us around and how things worked. She also connected us with an amazing local guide for a night tour. I would stay here again during the green season. Enjoy!

Great house for family or 4 plus people in Monteverde!
Beautiful house with a great view! You feel out in nature and even the monkeys came right up to the house one afternoon. Nice walking trails and good food nearby. Close to zip lining and the cloud forest.

This property was super unique and really amazing. The view of the Gulf of Nicoya was beautiful. My wife and I stayed there with our 8 and 5 year old daughters. This place was plenty big enough for all of us. It had an awesome balcony that wrapped around the whole house. The house is very secluded, but its not far from great locations. The house was modern with cool wood crafted tables and countertops. The Cloud Forest and the Children's Eternal Rain Forest are short drives. There is also a small grocery store that is close by. We didn't really go into the main part of town for anything. Don Luis, Stella's Bakery and Morpho's restaurant were some of our favorite eateries, that were close by. The host of the property Danielle is wonderful. She communicates with you as much as you need her, and will give you recommendations and can even set you with tour guides. I would highly recommend this place for anyone traveling to Monteverde. I also high recommend Monteverde, for anyone visiting Costa Rica.

Wonderful family holiday
My family of 4 stayed for 3 nights. Daniela made us breakfast 2 of the mornings at Abuelo’s Hangout to help us get out the door early for our scheduled activities. One was quite early for a guided hike with George, which she helped arrange. We did 2 hikes with George- can’t say enough other than book it now! Super fun, informative and just a great time. The view from the house is amazing. My tween and teen enjoyed having separate rooms. On our last morning, we were greeted by a family of capuchin monkeys. Thank you for sharing this gem!

Great spot for family stay in Monteverde
We (2 adults, kids age 8 and 12) stayed in this house. It was very nice and a perfect base for our trip. The home is very well taken care of, with an excellent outdoor space. There were animals close by that gave a great nature feel. The playground/park outside is a lot of fun and very unique. The location is slightly off the path, though we were able to walk easy enough to the store and restaurants.

Absolutely loved it - one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed. The gorgeous wood furniture and the view were the highlights. We saw more wildlife from the balcony than we did at Monteverde or Curi-Cancha! Can’t recommend highly enough.

Incredible view
This is amazing house has quite a bit of charm in it's unique craftsmanship. The view is incredible. The beds were a bit hard for most of us but the kitchen was well stocked. Eating around the beautiful handmade table with the view was a dream. Check in and check out were a breeze and it was easy to find. A perfect get away.

Luxury in the jungle
I'll never forget the elation I felt when we reached the end of the bumpy gravel driveway and looked out over the forest and saw the Papagayo Gulf. The house looks brand new. High ceilings and floor to ceiling windows to the west create dramatic vistas. The attention to detail given to the construction and furnishing of the house is astonishing. The house is a work of art. Wildlife shows up at unexpected moments. The feeling of privacy is complete but sophisticated restaurans are 5 minutes away. A+ accommodations.

Amazing House !
The photos on VRBO did not do justice to this home. We (family of 4 with two grown children in their 20's) loved it. The house looks brand new with amazing hand crafted wood furniture, bookshelves, cabinets, mirrors, sinks, etc. The hand made wooden kitchen/dining table is a work of art. The kitchen is a bit small but adequate - who does a lot of cooking on vacation anyway? Not long after we arrived a group of 15 or so monkeys swung by the house (actually ran over the roof) on their way elsewhere. They stopped long enough to pose for pictures (an adorable baby too!) The front deck overlooks the cloud forest and we saw birds and mammals go by while we sat on the deck enjoying an afternoon snack. After several days in Tamarindo, we were nervous about the house not having air conditioning, and realized it didn't need it. In fact we were happy with the extra blankets at night. This place is a real gem - and we highly recommend it. Don't be too nervous about the rocky dirt road you must drive to get to the house - it is very secluded, and you feel like you are in the cloud forest when you arrive - and yet you are just a minute or two from restaurants and such. Of the 5 places we stayed in Costa Rica, this was our favorite.
