Mills

Perfect place to get away from it all. The property is excellently taken cared for and the trails and location are desired for hikers and nature enthusiasts. Nothing luxurious but that was exactly what we were looking for.

This is the true monteverde jungle cabin experience. perfect location near town and the parks. it is in the actual cloud forest with private hiking trails. be warned it is primitive and you are in nature. bugs will be in the cabin. it is worth the nature and privacy though. great stay for nature lovers who are not afraid of bugs. you need a car if you stay here.

Mills and Rolo were delightful, very knowledgable and responsive hosts. The cabin is literally right next to the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve and for those who want an immersive experience of nature this is it. This is undeniably a nature lover's destination and the cabin was perfect for us. It had everything you would need and it was cozy, private and comfortable. But it's really important to read Mills' description carefully. He's done a great job describing the cabin and also the challenges of getting there. We really appreciated his descriptions. There are extensive trails on the land and it's really worth hiking them. Tons of birds and we had a very fun dusk encounter with a driveway armadillo. Not sure who got the bigger initial scare when we walked by. We loved our stay here and just wish we had a few more days. Highly recommend.

We stayed twice, our second visit was just as great! Highly recommend :)

Comparison with many other locations and the quality of the amenities

We absolutely loved staying with Mills and Rolo! The cabin is situated in the jungle by a giant fig tree. There are many opportunities to view wildlife right from your cabin. The cabin was cozy, has good working hot water and a functional kitchen for making food. The property was wonderful we loved exploring all of the trails, bringing the map is helpful. Being right next to the park is very peaceful and special. This is definitely the best place to stay if you want to observe wildlife. We were happy to get to know Rolo and Mills who were wonderful hosts with lots of local suggestions and knowledge of the flora/ fauna :)

A rustic little cabin in the jungle, full of character and clearly maintained with care! Rolo was friendly, helpful, and quick to respond when we had questions. We enjoyed being woken up by birds every morning and exploring the property admiring the incredible diversity of insects and arachnids. A vehicle might be nice for this stay—if travelling on foot like us, the sidewalk ends a ways before reaching the property, but we walked the road a few times without issue.

Really beautiful and special stay. The land is lush and gorgeous and the house has everything you could need and nothing more. Loved the outdoor space / access to trails, the on demand water heater, and the extra blankets provided for a cozy nights sleep. Very grateful to responsive and passionate hosts for sharing their paradise. I’ll remember this stay for a long time :)

Finca colibrí is a very special rustic hideaway in Monteverde, with private trails and breathtaking scenery. Steps away from the reserve was extremely convenient. Walking to town, if you like, is mostly downhill, then the taxi back is 6000-7000 colones. The cabin had everything we needed to cook our meals and was very cozy at nighttime. Hot showers were welcome at nighttime when it gets cool in the cloud forest. Mills and Rolo had excellent suggestions and detailed instructions for our stay. Rolo generously helped us with our luggage with a golf cart when we arrived and upon departing. We cooked ourselves mostly but ate at the treetop restaurant and “the green”, both delicious. Each morning we were greeted with hummingbirds, coatis, agoutis and spider monkeys. Bring a flashlight/UV lights and do your own night walks to discover insects of all kinds. If you are serious about an immersive “fern gully” or “avatar” experience in the rainforest, look no further.

We really loved staying here for 2 nights, very secluded and immersed in nature, the best way to experience Monteverde. Would absolutely stay again for a longer stay!

Mills little cabin was amazing in the middle of the splendid cloud Forest, very private and welcoming lots of charming wildlife specimens (only safe ones for us). The outside fire pit is very convenient for cooking and on top of being super clean, the rustic refuge is very comfortable and we'll equipped. We would have stayed longer !

The place was beautiful! Everything important was there and it was very clean! I was walking and could easily reach the Monteverde Cloudbridge Forest, the Curi-Cancha Reserve or a restaurant and a small shopping facility. The two are very kind and helpful! You live in the middle of nature - a dream. Small tip: Bring warm clothes!

Mills and Rolo were amazing and very responsive. The place is exactly what it shows, a cute little private rustic cabin in the cloud forest. It’s clean and well maintained but if you’re looking luxury, not the right place. If you’re looking for an adventure, perfect! It is right next to the public cloud forest hiking trails but they have private ones you can explore. If you are looking for the real deal of cloud forest hiking, this is the spot! The trails aren’t as easily marked as the public ones, so make sure to pin the cabin location on your GPS before exploring. That being said, I hiked for hours, experienced pure nature and didn’t see a single soul. All in all, I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to experience the untouched biodiversity. A nature lovers dream!

I loved staying with Mills and Rolo. They were super helpful and communicative. I was able to catch a local bus then a taxi (with their help) to the cabin. As a solo woman, I felt very safe and in the surrounding area. It's an easy 10min walk to the park. As others have said, if you're looking for something rustic in the forest (and Mills is a conservationist who has been in the area for 40 years), then you'll love this place!

Incredible location and host! Great for those excited about wildlife and exploring the cloud forest ecosystem.
