A mixture of primary cloud forest and cleared areas with much “edge effect” offers perfect viewing of wildlife. Because our property is contiguous to more than 110,000 acres of protected forest, you’re likely to see many more animals here than in most other places in the Monteverde zone. White-faced monkeys, coatis, and agoutis are all commonly seen on our land, and several cloud forest specialists, including resplendent quetzals and black guans are also often seen near the cabin. Brocket deer, ocelots, and margays which are very uncommon, are occasionally seen here. The property has several trails through both primary and secondary forest that are available to guests. These private trails are seldom used and offer the quiet tranquility needed to enjoy the ambient cloud forests. Owner, Bill Calvert, first visited Monteverde in 1976 and built the cabin in the mid-1980s. An extensive addition was added later. From the front porch, one can see the upper Gulf of Nicoya and every so often sunlight reflecting off of the more distant Pacific Ocean. There are three houses on the 40 acres, none of which is in view of the others giving one a very private experience. The cabin is located at the end a 600 foot drive way and is nearly surrounded by primary forest. The downstairs includes a living area and kitchen with a wood burning stove. Amenities include a six burner cook stove with oven, a microwave, and the usual coffee maker, toaster, blender, crockpot, etc. The upstairs loft and new addition have four beds - two doubles and two singles and can accommodate six people comfortably. A large bathroom has an on-demand electric hot water heater. The front porch extends along the entire front of the cabin, wraps around to the north side and provides spectacular views into the canopy. Agoutis and coatimundis are often seen on the front lawn, which is somewhat steep and not suitable for croquet. WiFi is available, but is slow. Two sets of stairs to the second floor are steep and may not be suitable for young children or older adults. . We are well removed from the bustle of Monteverde, Cerro Plano and Santa Elena. You will have a quiet peaceful experience and will be able to go to sleep to the sounds of katydids, cicadas, frogs and wake up to chorusing black-bellied wood quail, duetting gray-breasted wood wrens and the chatter of the Prong-billed Barbet. Access to shopping amenities is provided by a public bus which passes by at the bottom of the driveway several times each day. Taxis are available at any time. Several good restaurants, a small grocery store and a few gift/coffee shops are located within 2 miles and many more are available in nearby Santa Elena. The entrance to the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve is just a ten minute walk from our house. Several other Monteverde wildlife reserves are also nearby. If you’d like a home-cooked Costa Rican meal, we can arrange to have a talented local cook prepare meals before you arrive (or during your stay). She can also deliver groceries upon request. If you're interested in hiring a private naturalist guide or taking a tour, please be in touch with us and we can make arrangements. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Hob - Oven ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property but there are gas appliances; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 21 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Rules Children 7 to 17 are allowed, but younger children need to be advised not to pet wildlife and supervised on trails. ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome Note from host: Steep stairs may be difficult for children elderly ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).

Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mélanie 30 Aug 2025 Liked: Amenities, communication This rustic cabin is fantastic to sleep six if people don’t mind sharing beds. The beauty and exposure to nature this property offers is amazing. Also, the host and the cook are both phenomenal people…probably my favourite souls met on this trip. The only caveat would be that nothing dries up there…so be ready for the living room futon to have been exposed to prolonged moisture causing it to have some mould. Free with the property is a pet coatimundi, agouti and about twenty or more hummingbirds…just don’t try to pet them. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6b1ac24d-05f3-490e-bf2c-9d9c43bb33c6-1756586549784.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d93e0b31-d680-4232-9300-ecc6f10d438f-1756586548802.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/016fe534-8e71-41bf-a3ce-4ded86eb8b21-1756586547968.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0f363058-35e0-436a-8df5-a98d4269c13e-1756586548774.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Mélanie Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simon S. 26 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy ##### Simon S.
