It was so beautiful with all the unique wood accents, had space for our kids to play, was very clean, and felt like we were nestled right in the middle of the jungle. Though it was only a 5 min drive to get to town and the main restaurants. We wished we'd stayed here longer. Daniela was very helpful with tour information and easy to communicate with. The kitchen was very qell eqipped, as were the bathroom supplies. Thanks for a great stay! ##### Ashley T. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marcey G.

It is surrounded by wilderness, yet close enough to town. The woodwork inside the house is really special and makes the house unique. Many amenities are offered in the house. The kitchen is equipped and having a washer and dryer was so appreciated. The host reached out to us to make sure everything was going well each day. Luckily, we did not have any issues. If you are sensitive to musty smells just know that is something to mention. ##### Marcey G. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shana S.

Daniela set up a night tour that was fabulous. She is super responsive to all my questions, and I really appreciated that! If you go visit Monteverde definitely stay here! You won't be disappointed in the wonderfully immersive experience that this location provides! ##### Shana S. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Merritt B.

It is secluded and quiet. The kitchen is well stocked with paper towels. 😀 No paper towels or napkins at any of the places we stayed except this place. I guess I am pretty dependent on my paper towels. ##### Connie F. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen U.

Conveniently located minutes from the town of Santa Elena, this home has everything you need for a comfortable stay! The interior has beautiful wood accents and everything you need to fix a meal or cup of coffee -- which you can enjoy outside in the gazebo! In the mornings you can see agouti in the forest/backyard (who love to eat your fruit scraps)! Daniella was quick to respond to my messages, there to greet us despite us changing the arrival time (a few times), and she delivered fans immediately upon request! We highly recommend this home for your stay in Monteverde! ##### Stephen U.

A small grocery store was easy to walk to as well. The house was just what we were looking for... It has the feeling of being secluded without actually being secluded. We enjoyed the outside area to relax in hammocks, and inside there was a full kitchen, three nice bedrooms, and a really large bathroom. The giant windows made it easy to enjoy the view! The local property manager was also great. She gave us excellent recommendations for food and a night tour guide! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nataliya Oct 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Beautiful property 5min from Cloud Forest. Spectacular location. Lovely host, quick to respond. Two small notes: 1) the driveway is short, but steep and unpaved. 4 wheel drive is advisable in the rainy season. 2) If you have breathing issues, run the dehumidifier all the time. Most of the windows in the house do not open, so it gets very stuffy. Otherwise a great stay. ##### Nataliya Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ginger S. Jul 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy The checkin process was very informative. The house is cute. But This is house was most likely built in the 50’s with only 2 small windows in the living room that open. There is no ventilation. It smells like mold. If you are allergic to mold do not stay here. We left after 1 night and paid for another place to stay. That was 15 min away. Cheaper newer construction lots of light and windows that opened. They do have a humidifier that was not cleaned, the tube and filter were covered in mold. I got an insane migraine within 20 min of arrival, from my allergy to mold. I should have taken photos. They will tell you it’s from the moist environment. But I grew up in Point Loma. Ocean on one side bay the other. A house built in 1930’s and it does not smell this bad. It has water damage that has been band aided. ##### Ginger S. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark B. Nov 11, 2024 Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### Wonderful immersion in the jungle, but still close in The house was fine, although we strongly dislike the cold white light bulbs that everyone seems to be buying these days. (You can get LED bulbs in warmer, more natural feel light but you have to look for them.) There was no end table or lamp in the living room so no alternative to the cold white light from the ceiling fixtures. Nightstands and lights beside the bed were a nice feature we often don't see in other places we stay when we travel. If you don't want people wearing shoes in the house, it would be really nice to have a boot tray on the floor beside the main entry door. It would also be a nice addition to have a place for guests to hang raincoats and hats when they come inside. The check-in process has a BIG problem: the written directions to the property are very misleading. The house is no "immediately after you cross the bridge." It would be far more accurate to say, "The driveway is about 100m up the road BEYOND the bridge." ##### Mark B. Stayed 10 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cassandra J. Dec 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing location! Forest Garden home is very central to Monteverde, which is a delightful Costa Rican mountain town. It was slightly tricky to find the first time, but once there, it is very easy to get around. Plenty of parking for 2-3 cars on the private drive. In the town, the co-op coffee shop was amazing and restaurant/art shop across the street had slightly pricey, but delicious food. The home is also just a 10 minute drive from the Monteverde Cloud Forest park. We zip lined, hiked the preserve, and went on a coffee tour all nearby. The house itself was comfortable, but could use a few improvements. TV was great, and we brought our Roku, plugged it in, and streamed our favorite shows in the evenings. However, all the beautiful couches were very hard. There could be a lot more pillows and cushions. As lovely as the tree couches are, trading them for a few more comfortable chairs/couches would be nice. Also, the lighting in the room was a bit awkward and dark. Kitchen seemed to have most things we needed for basic cooking and the refrigerator was full size and worked great. A new sponge would have been nice. Bedrooms were small and basic, but that is fine. The bathroom could be a bit more finished, but everything worked. Perhaps a few extra towels and blankets around would be nice. Washer and dryer worked fine, and soap was provided. ##### Cassandra J.

We stayed 2 nights so a quick trip. The house is awesome with all the woodwork. Only setbacks is the couch is not comfortable and hard to lounge as the pillows don’t even stay in place. And not having smoke detectors in any bedrooms is concerning. But the house and property is great! Loved Monteverde! ##### Vicki S.
