We had a great 5-day stay at this house. It’s in a wonderful location. The house has a lot of space, and several amenities (parking, outdoor space, fully equipped kitchen, washer & dryer). The shower was amazing— hot and great water pressure, which can be rare in this area. Daniela was a kind and helpful host. She quickly responded when i accidentally set off the security alarm (twice!). We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent communication from host. This lovely cottage in the forest was quiet and peaceful. Very spacious and clean. Forest animals and lots of nice birds are entertaining. This is a family friendly facility. Very close to Monteverde Reserve & Curi-Cancha Reserve and other excellent places for hiking in the forest and seeing wildlife. It is adjacent to the Friends school and with in walking distance of famous Stella's bakery and cafe and the cheese factory. Everything was in good condition. Interesting use of beautiful tropical woods. A vehicle is recommended / 4x4 not necessary in the dry season. Supermarkets in Santa Elena, 10 minutes away well stocked . Wifi reliable and fast.

Great private and peaceful location

We enjoyed staying at this quiet, peaceful location in the forest. The kitchen was well stocked and it was so helpful to have a washer and dryer. It’s a quick drive to Monteverde reserve and easy walk to cafe Stellas and other local shopping and coffee shop. I especially enjoyed time in the outside hammocks.
