    The house is a work of art! The woodwork in the entire house is incredible. The rooms were comfortable and it had everything we needed. The location was perfect. Close to everything and also secluded.

    Gorgeous location. We had one member of our family that is not able to walk far and he was thrilled to have such a beautiful view from the wraparound patio to enjoy. It is a little bit of a hike or drive to the rest of the town - so we had to...

Surrounded by the forest the house is set off the ground and has huge windows to give it spectacular views of the forest canopy and Nicoya Gulf. The large rooms and Queen size beds provide comfort, all the essentials plus more are provided. Located close to town but extremely private it is ideal as a base to enjoy all of Monteverdes attractions and is an attraction in itself that provides the peace to rest after a full day of activities. Close by restaurants and markets are very convenient. The house is large enough for a family but also perfect for a couples romantic get-away, located on a 27 acre property, guests can explore as they wish, providing them the opportunity to see lots of the local flora and fauna without having to book a tour or drive anywhere.
We are a local family descended from the Quakers and the locals who came to colonize the area more than 60 years ago. We have had the opportunity to travel and hope that now we can help travelers enjoy and get the most out of their time in Monteverde. Our hostess will confirm your reservation, meet you for check in and help with any questions you might have about the house, the area, tour options, dining suggestions on anything else you might need. We will leave you to yourself once checked in but are available at any moment for any questions or help you may need.
As mentioned the house is located on a large property, there are other rent houses on the property but out of shouting distance to provide each with privacy. Just up the road from the property there are several restaurants, a couple small supermarkets, art galleries and souvenir shops. Also in the area there are several attractions such as private reserves, a butterfly garden, night tours and others.
