Easy access to Monteverde Cloud Reserve and right next door to the Curi-Cancha Reseve. We could walk to get a coffee, groceries and ice cream at the cheese factory. We saw many birds from the front porch including the Tucans. There is a well stocked book library including a few for infants. Darlene was most helpful, responding quickly to all our questions. Our only downside was that the weather was unseasonably hot this year and there is no AC and just one fan which made it hot for sleeping at night. Orherwise a wonderful stay. ##### c M.

We were super comfortable and the porch is such a relaxong spot to hang out. It's a very short drive to Santa Elena and it was also only about a 20-30 min drive to selvatura. Darlene was very fast to respond to any questions. ##### Mitchell G.

Shops and wonderful restaurants are just a few minute drive away. El Bosque restaurant is a 10 minute walk, and the Tree house restaurant in town were our favourites. Several activities are easy to get to by car, with variable trip duration. We would definitely come back. ##### shallen l.

No major complains except for some points to be noted: - Sunrise cannot be seen from this property because of the hill behind the property. - Please note that there is no a/c or heater and there is limited hot water supply during our stay here. - Entire house is done with hardwood, may be that is the reason why it creeks. - TV is in master bedroom and not in the living room ##### Harini m.

Everything was what we'd hoped for. Nice spacious home. Great location - rural but just a short drive to town - If you don't have your own car you'd need to get a taxi to restaurants, stores etc., but it is quite close. Thanks, Darlene, for everything. ##### Kate H. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 27 Jan 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful house and location House is in a country like setting away from noise and crowds but yet very accessible to town. The house had everything we needed. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gyan B. 19 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wish we could have stayed here longer We had a great trip to Costa Rica and we stayed 2 nights here before going down to the beach for a few nights. This property really would have been suitable for a longer stay, especially if we were making food at home and so on. As it happened we mostly ate out and did really use all the facilities as much as we could have. Really nice bathrooms and main living area. Monteverde is fairly hard to get to due to road conditions but well worth it ##### Gyan B. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erik L., Leander 13 May 2018 #### Great views and super clean. We only stayed here one night in order to see the cloud forest, but we were very happy with this place. We met the owner, Darlene, who was very gracious and hospitable. She made great recommendations for food in town and showed us everything we needed to know for the house and then skedaddled. The house itself has a beautiful wrap-around porch outside with fantastic views down the hill that the house is situated on. The house inside was scrupulously clean which made me very happy. There is no A/C just as a warning, but portable fans were available on-site and with the windows cracked at night, the house was very cool and comfortable. It's outside of the town of Monteverde which was nice so you're not right in the middle of traffic and tourists, but close enough to town to make for a short ride. Pro-tip, try out the soaker tub in the master bathroom, it felt so good after a long day. All in all, very pleasant experience in a great house with a very kind owner. Would definitely stay here again if we came back to the area. ##### Erik L. Stayed 1 night in Apr 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louise D. 23 Feb 2018 #### Super ! Un endroit parfait !

A lovely, spacious home, close to everything but far enough away to attract many different colourful birds at the trees and feeder. Darlene and Sabrina are terrific and were very helpful booking tours for us. It would be helpful if they got their on-demand hot water system to work consistently though -- we had too many cold showers (I imagine it just needs a 'tune up'). ##### Doug or Val K.
