2BR cabin in Monte Verde

Green Habitat - Cabins for Rent in Monte Verde, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Very cosy place, beautiful sorroundings, peaceful and perfect to sleep

Michael und Sandra waren sehr hilfsbereit!

We really enjoyed our stay at Michael and Sandra's for a short visit to the area. We didn't get a chance to meet Michael, but we must point out that Sandra is very welcoming and very helpful. She also organized our great night tour in the reserve, which is a short walk from their accommodation, during which we saw many animals. We were also very lucky to see many capuchin monkeys from our accommodation on our first morning. :) Recommended!

Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre séjour chez Michael et Sandra pour une courte visite dans la région. Nous n’avons pas eu la chance de rencontrer Michael, mais on doit souligner que Sandra est très accueillante et très aidante. Elle nous a d’ailleurs organisé notre super tour de nuit dans la réserve qui se situe à quelques pas de leur logement durant lequel nous avons vu beaucoup d’animaux. Nous avons aussi eu la grande chance de voir de nombreux capucins de notre logement à notre premier matin. :) Je recommande!

The place was beautiful and exactly as described – in the middle of nature, quiet and surrounded by beautiful greenery. We felt very comfortable there. A special highlight was the night hike with Michael. With a lot of knowledge and enthusiasm, he guided us through the forest at night and showed us many exciting animals. 🦥🐍🐸 Sandra was very helpful and supported us with great information and tips on what else we could do in the area. Thank you for the wonderful time – we will be happy to come back!

Die Unterkunft war wunderschön und genau wie beschrieben – mitten in der Natur, ruhig und umgeben von herrlichem Grün. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohlgefühlt. Ein besonderes Highlight war die Nachtwanderung mit Michael. Mit viel Wissen und Begeisterung hat er uns durch den nächtlichen Wald geführt und uns viele spannende Tiere gezeigt. 🦥🐍🐸 Sandra war sehr hilfsbereit und hat uns mit tollen Informationen und Tipps unterstützt, was wir in der Umgebung noch unternehmen können. Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit – wir kommen gerne wieder!

Lovely home to stay while in Monteverde. Home was designed with practical functionality along with its amenities. Sandra and Michael were great hosts. We also booked Michael as our night tour guide. The reserve was within walking distance from the home. He was very informative and spotted many amazing animals for us to see.

We really had a great time at Michael and Sandra's place. We went on a tour with Michael in the Curi Cancha reserve, and he allowed us to see many species of birds, including the Bell Bird and quetzals, as well as monkeys. It was a highlight of our stay. We highly recommend this place if you want to have a great time in the nature of Costa Rica. A big thank you to our hosts!

Nous avons vraiment passé un super moment chez Michael et Sandra. Nous avons fait une visite avec Michael dans la réserve Curi Cancha et il nous a permis de voir de nombreuses espèces d’oiseaux dont le Bell Bird et des quetzals et des singes. Ce fut un moment fort de notre séjour. Nous recommandons fortement cet endroit si vous voulez passez un bon moment dans la nature du Costa Rica. Un grand merci à nos hôtes!

I had a wonderful stay at Michael and Sandra’s place! They were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always quick to respond to any questions. The cabin was spotless, and the beds were exceptionally comfortable after long days of exploring Monteverde. One of the absolute highlights of my trip was spending time with Michael as a guide. His knowledge of the local wildlife is outstanding, and thanks to him I was able to see and photograph so many amazing animals that I never would have found on my own. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again on my next visit to Monteverde. Highly recommended!

Sandra and Michael are lovely! The house was impeccable. We felt safe. Perfect for a short stay. The water is not very hot for the shower. We did the night tour with Michael. It was super interesting! A must-do! Thanks to both of you for the warm welcome!

Sandra et Michael sont adorables! La maison était impeccable. On se sentait en sécurité. Parfait pour un cours séjour. L’eau n’est pas très chaude pour la douche. Nous avons fait le visite nocturne avec Micheal. C’était super intéressant! À faire absolument! Merci à vous deux pour le bel accueil!

Mickael and Sandra are wonderful hosts. The place is comfortable and located very close to the animal shelter. Next to the house, we observed capuchin monkeys and a sloth. Mickael is a nature guide. We went on a night outing in the reserve with him; it was magical.

Mickael et Sandra sont des hôtes merveilleux. Le logement est confortable et situé tout près du refuge des animaux. A côté de la maison nous avons observé des singes capucins, un paresseux. Mickael est un guide nature, nous avons fait une sortie de nuit dans la réserve avec lui, c était magique.

Comfortable cabin steps from the Monteverde Night Tour. Michael and Sandra are excellent hosts.

Cabina cómoda a pasos de Monteverde Night Tour.Michael y Sandra son excelentes anfitriones.

Book this house; you won't regret it. It's close enough to the village to find what you need, and at the same time you have an incredible feeling of nature. One evening, about fifteen capuchin monkeys passed right by the house! The house is easy to find and very clean. You won't need a 4x4 (but elsewhere in Monteverde, you will). We also booked a nighttime excursion with our children (9 and 11 years old) and Michael, who is a very good guide. He also gave us tips on other things to do in the area. I really recommend him.

Réservez cette maison, vous ne le regretterez pas. C’est assez proche du village pour trouver ce dont on a besoin, et en même temps on a un feeling de nature incroyable. Un soir, une quinzaine de capucins sont passés juste à côté de la maison! La maison est facile à trouver et très propre. Vous n’aurez pas besoin de 4x4 (mais ailleurs à Monteverde, oui). Nous avons aussi réservé une excursion nocturne avec nos enfants (9 et 11 ans) et Michael, qui est un très bon guide. Il nous a aussi donné des conseils sur d’autres activités à faire dans la région. Je le recommande vraiment.

This was a great house - clean, conveniently located and very responsive hosts!

Really enjoyable stay. Good hosts, feels in the heart of the jungle with a great location (car is probably needed to get into Monteverde town. Monteverde brewing company is great. Michael’s night tour was superb, highly recommend.

Michael & Sandra's house was really nice. Very cosy and and in the middle of a beautiful forest a few kilometers from Monteverde. Michael took us on an incredible night tour from the house during which we saw many animals (butterflies, insects, pit viper, boa constrictor, scorpions, bats, sloths). Not only could he spot a lot of wildlife, but he was great at telling us about all of them. Our 2 daughters (5 and 8 years old) loved it and this has been one of the highlight of our trip in Costa Rica.

Our stay at Green Habitat was amazing!  Sandra was a very warm and welcoming host, and went out of her way to make sure our stay was wonderful.  She gave recommendations on things to do, and booked excursions for us.  Sandra even helped to find a last-minute lodging option for another family who decided to join us at the last minute!  The space was comfortable and clean, close to town, and right near the Wildlife Preserve.  Great stay overall, largely due to Sandra's help!

This place was wonderful! Michael and Sandra were incredibly helpful and super responsive! They helped me whenever I needed anything right away! The place is secluded a bit off the road and is very close to the nature reserve! 10/10 with 100/10 hosts! if you are going to Monteverde stay here!

Highly recommended, very quiet area, clean and close to many attractions!

Súper recomendado, área muy tranquila, limpia y cerca de muchos atractivos!

Super peaceful stay and wonderful space. The restaurant around the corner Flores y Sabores was also amazing! Best meal in Costa Rica!

Michael and Sandra were great hosts. They booked my tours and Michael took us on an amazing night hike. It was probably our best time in Costa Rica. The property backs into the reserve where the hikes begin and was walkable. It was quiet, off of the main road bout close to everything!

The place is too beautiful. It has an excellent location, 5 minutes from downtown. The service was excellent as well. I would definitely come back.

El lugar es demasiado bello. Tiene una excelente ubicación, a 5min del centro. La atención fue excelente también. Sin duda volvería

Comfortable, modern cabin in a beautiful natural setting.

Cabaña cómoda y moderna en un entorno natural hermoso.

We had a canine and wished we could have stayed longer. The hosts were very helpful getting us lined up with tours. Our guides were fantastic. We couldn’t have asked for more.

The cabin and location are beautiful. The hosts were always very attentive. They even helped us book the tours to the reserves.

La cabaña y la ubicación es preciosa. Los anfitriones siempre fueron muy atentos, hasta nos ayudaron a reservar los tours a las reservas

Beautiful location and very quiet and peaceful. We really enjoyed the outdoor seating on the deck.

We loved staying there. It was just right Simple’s clean comfortable. Sandra was very friendly and lined up a fabulous guided tour. Johnny the guide was very knowledgeable and fun.

Great location. Quiet, peaceful, and super clean place. The bedrooms are very comfortable and perfect for resting.

Excelente ubicación. Lugar silencioso, tranquilo y super limpio. Las habitaciones muy cómodas y perfectas para descansar

Beautiful and clean cabin surrounded by nature with lots of birds. Sandra & Michael were extremely friendly and responsive. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend their place to everyone!

Thank you very much for choosing us, and we are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at our house and in our community.

The place is nice, we felt comfortable, and we didn't lack anything. The amenities are very good. The owners recommended tours in the area and always responded quickly.

Die Unterkunft ist schön, wir haben uns wohl gefühlt und es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Die Ausstattung ist sehr gut. Die Besitzer haben uns Touren in der Gegend empfohlen und immer schnell geantwortet.

Nice and clean. Easy access to downtown Monteverde and nearby attractions

Thank you for sharing your beautiful space. Michael and Sandra’s location is located on a wonderfully private lot and was so very peaceful. We went on a night tour with Michael, who showed us many creatures of the evening and he kept a great pace and was amazing with our kids. Sandra was also incredibly helpful in assisting us to attend the sloth sanctuary and when we left something in the transport, was incredibly helpful in helping relocate it and have it brought to us. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

Their home was so lovely and they were very friendly and helpful.

Michael and Sandra's place was perfect! Just what we were looking for in Monteverde. Very clean, very new, and very quiet for a peaceful night's sleep. Of course, I recommend having a car to get here easily. The kitchen had everything you needed, and the water pressure in the shower was strong. Everything was perfect! Also, the best part was the “night walk” with Michael. We think it's a very good guide that tells you everything about the animals so you can understand it, and it finds insects and animals (tarantulas, snakes, scorpions, etc.) where we would never see anything. This activity was very interesting and exciting in equal measure.

La casa de Michael y Sandra era ideal! Justo lo que buscábamos en Monteverde. Muy limpia, muy nueva y muy tranquila para dormir en paz. Eso sí, recomiendo tener un coche para llegar con facilidad. La cocina tenía todo lo necesario y en la ducha el agua salía con fuerza. Todo perfecto! Ademá, lo mejor fue la “night walk” con Michael. Creemos que es un muy buen guía que te cuenta todo sobre los animales para que lo puedas entender y encuentra insectos y animales (tarántulas, serpientes, escorpión, etc) donde nosotros nunca veríamos nada. Esta actividad fue muy interesante y emocionante a partes iguales.

Friendly local hosts with a super clean place - a short walk to the host's night  tour of the wildlife preserve (recommended)!

Sandra was amazing. Always responsive and very helpful. The place is very nice. My daughter comment as soon as we arrived was "daddy why are we staying only two days - I love this place!". it has large windows so you can see all green outside and have the comfortable of a house. All spacious two good rooms. Very hot shower (just follow the instructions). All was a great stay for us. Thanks again Sandra!

We loved this fresh new 'cabin'! It is a small space but well designed so that 2 couples are comfortable. The hosts were very responsive and helpful before and during our visit. The location is peaceful and beautiful as it is next to a wildlife reserve. We did a night walk with the host who was very informative; we saw lots of interesting wildlife! It is also easy to walk or drive to any amenities you would need. The place was very fresh and clean, kitchen was all we needed and there is a cute deck. The shower was cool, which is fine. During our visit, it was windy and cool to us after being in a hot area, so we would have liked a hot shower but this was not a big deal as the rest of the experience was amazing. The hosts even helped us get organized with our local plans. 100% recommend this place for 4 or less! Monteverde ad the experience they helped us have created lifetime memories.

Thank you so much, and welcome back in the future. The shower is usually hot, but I'll check. Thank you 🌿

Super clean, comfortable, peaceful, quiet, great shower, fully equipped kitchen, very quick walk to the Monteverde Wildlife Refuge and a quick drive to Santa Elena town centre. Michael and Sandra are super friendly and helpful with recommendations and very quick to respond. They live next door but are not intrusive at all. We did a night tour with Michael and he was fabulous. We truly had a memorable stay and enjoyed seeing the trio of monkeys from the kitchen.

The accommodation is beautiful; congratulations to the designer. 100% recommended to take the night tour. You can get a very good night's rest; it's very quiet at night.

El hospedaje está precioso, felicitaciones a la diseñadora. 100% recomendable tomar el tour nocturno. Puedes descansar muy bien, muy silencioso en la noche.

Thank you very much. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the house.

Nice cabin - it's clean, modern, and in a convenient location. Sandra and Michael provided clear instructions. The day tour and night tour with Michael are incredible and strongly recommended.

The place is amazing. Incredibly clean. Feels brand new. Feels very safe. Hosts were kind and helpful. There’s a nature reserve right next to the property which you can walk during the day. Don’t hesitate to book this place.

Michael & Sandra's place in Monteverde is absolutely wonderful. As hosts, they are one of the best we have ever experienced. They were super helpful in the weeks leading up to our stay with coordinating local recommendations and booking excursions for us and answering all the questions about the area that I had. Their place is super clean and tidy, the beds are very comfortable. The kitchen, while small, has everything you need to cook at home if you choose. The views and area around the home are stunning. There is a public road super nearby to view the local wildlife anytime of day or night. Michael is also a night jungle tour guide and he gave our family of 4 the most unforgettable experience with all the plants and animals that we saw! It is easy to find and a short drive to nearby Santa Elena for restaurants and shops too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND their place!! If I could give 10 stars I would!

Only a few minutes away from a bunch of restaurants and shops. Clean and comfortable home with very responsive hosts. Had everything we needed for our one night stay.

I had a really nice stay. The location is close within the town of Monteverde which made it easy to get around. The property has privacy and free of loud noise. An excellent experience.

We had the most amazing stay at Michael and Sandra’s Airbnb and we cannot recommend them and their place enough.
Since the day we booked, they stayed in touch, helped us book all our tours and also provided lots of recommendations.
Michael is a guide and really good at that so make sure to book tours with him. Both him and Sandra are warm and welcoming. 
The location is close to everything you would need or go to in Monteverde. The wildlife reserve is just in the back of the Property which is very convenient if you book the Night tour.
Overall we had the best time at this place and would definitely stay here again when we come back to Monteverde.

House is as described. Small but clean and comfortable. Great beds/pillows. Hot water is good if you turn the pressure down. Good location, minimal traffic, only nature sounds at night. Easy short drive into monteverde/santa elena for restaurants. We had about 10 monkeys come visit one day, we could watch from the deck. The only disappointing thing is  that the deck overlooks the driveway and the adjacent property that has been cleared so not as inviting to hang out on as we'd hoped.

The accommodation is top for Monteverde and surroundings. It is very clean and has everything you need. Michael is also a great tour guide who took us on a night walk in the reserve right around the corner and showed us many animals. We would come back.

Die Unterkunft ist top für Monteverde und Umgebung. Sie ist sehr sauber und hat alles, was man braucht. Michael ist zudem ein toller Tour-Guide, der und mitnahm auf einen Night Walk im Reserve direkt um die Ecke und uns viele Tiere zeigte. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

Very nice place near downtown. I would definitely come back! Very good water pressure 😁

Muy bonito lugar cerca del centro. Sin duda alguna volvería! Muy buena presión del agua 😁

Great family stay with our two kids. The accommodation is as described and well located. We toured at night: a great and unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this listing!

Excellent séjour en famille avec nos deux enfants. Le logement est conforme à la description et très bien situé. Nous avons fait le tour de nuit : une expérience géniale et inoubliable. Je recommande vivement ce logement.

We had a great stay at Sandra & Michael's Airbnb. We loved being able to walk to Monteverde Brewing. We enjoyed the adventure pass at Treetopia  and El Tigre waterfalls was out of this world! We did enjoy a night tour with Michael and Sandra was great booking everything for us. Overall, a great stay!

What a beautiful cabin in the most serene setting. Exactly as described and perfect for our two days in the cloud forest. Michael and Sandra, and their dog Bella, were welcoming and very helpful hosts. Definitely do Michael’s guided night tour. He is very knowledgeable and we saw so many amazing things. They knew our son really wanted to see monkeys so when the white faced capuchins were outside our place they made sure to come get us. They also made it possible for me to find the three wattled bellbirds that were visiting the grounds. Above and beyond hosts. Would stay here again!

Nos alegra mucho saber que les gustó la casa y que pudieran ver muchos animales.  Bienvenidos en un futuro.  Un gusto conocerlos!

Michael and Sandra were very pleasant and welcoming. Their recommendations and area knowledge are priceless. Highly recommend them as genuine locals.

Thank you for choosing us and welcome back in the future

Hosts couldn't be more helpful and friendly.
We couldn't really use the nice outside space as it was unusually cold and windy.
Very nice local Monteverde brewery and restaurant within easy walking distance.
Michael was an excellent wildlife guide.

Muchas gracias por su elección.  Saludos

Excellent stay at Michael and Sandra’s place.  Place spotless and exactly as described.  Very helpful and friendly hosts who are close by for whatever you might need.  Michael is also a professional guide so I recommend the night and day tour with him.  The photos he takes with your phone are professional quality wildlife pics and the knowledge he provides during walks priceless.  Home situated on a beautiful property to enjoy nature and long walks.

Fue un enorme placer conocerlos y bienvenidos en el futuro nuevamente

We had a nice time in Monteverde! The house was nicely decorated and we could reach all the activities quickly by car. The host always responded quickly to messages and gave valuable tips.

Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit in Monteverde! Das Haus war schön eingerichtet und wir konnten alle Aktivitäten mit dem Auto schnell erreichen. Die Gastgeberin hat immer schnell auf Nachrichten geantwortet und wertvolle Tipps gegeben.

Michael and Sandra were exceptional hosts and we had an incredible time in Monteverde. We booked two tours with Michael and can say without a doubt that he is the best guide around. Some highlights were seeing the Resplendent Quetzal, Keel-billed Toucan, and a side-striped palm pit viper. Highly recommend them and Green Habitat!

Nos alegra enormemente saber que les gustó la casa y nuestros tours . Bienvenidos nuevamente

They met us upon our arrival and couldn’t be nicer.  We highly recommend!

What a special gem! Being immersed in the cloud forest made us feel like we were camping while having all the comfort and amenities you could ask for 🍃. Sandra was proactive and so helpful in communicating with us and Michael's night tour was a highlight of our entire trip! It is so cool that you can walk right into hours of trails from the b&b with passionate and brilliant hosts - we'll be back and highly reccomend!

The place was beautiful and clean! The surroundings were perfect. I would recommend. Only one thing… my dad is elderly and the room was a little cold for him. The hosts were great to provide extra blankets. But, keep in mind at night the room might be 61 degrees. It was fine for me, but a little chilly overall. Still would recommend! Everything else was perfect. 😊

Sandra and Michael were perfect hosts! The cabin was just off the main road and was spacious, clean, quiet, comfortable and very cozy. Sandra and Michael gave us great recommendations on local shopping and dining as well as activities. When we arrived, Sandra even reminded us that we had booked a guided hike with Michael that same night! This was great because otherwise we would not have remembered! Gracias Sandra! In addition to being a great host, Michael also offers guided tours. We took two of his tours (night hike and morning tour of the Curicancha Reserve cloud forest) and they were incredible! Michael's knowledge, enthusiasm and passion made these tours stand apart. I'd highly recommend them to anyone. Sandra even gave us some delicious organic bananas from the family farm. They were delicious! Their dog Bella was also lovely. Gracias Michael y Sandra!

Fue un gran gusto conocerlos. Y que bueno que disfrutaron de nuestros tours . Bienvenidos en un futuro a nuestra casa

Michael and Sandra are great hosts. Very responsive with great suggestions locally and on our travels to our next stop in Costa Rica. Took the night walk tour with Michael and it was 1 of many highlights on our amazing trip to Costa Rica. Thr Green Habitat suited our needs perfectly. We would definitely return to Costa Rica, to Monteverde and to Michael and Sandra's Green Habitat.

Fue un gusto conocerlos y sobretodo ayudar a que disfrutaran de nuestros bosques . Bienvenidos en un futuro nuevamente

This is our second time staying at Green Habitat. It is a very comfortable and well maintained Airbnb.  Sandra and Michael live next door and are accessible and available. Michael  provides  tours and is extremely informative and a lot of fun. Do yourself a favor and have him guide you at the night tour. We would stay here again whenever we return to Monteverde.

Muchas gracias por elegirnos ! será un gran placer volver a hospedarlos y explorar el bosque con ustedes .

Michael and Sandra, were fantastic hosts during our stay in Monteverde. A highlight of our trip was hiring Michael to be our guide on a night hike. Highly recommend! The place was clean, comfortable and easy to find.

We loved our two-night stay! Very nice clean house and recent construction. Sandra and Michael were great. We took a night tour with Michael (watching animals and insects) and really enjoyed it! Would highly recommend! The road to get there is dangerous but worth it!

Nous avons adoré notre séjour de deux nuit! Très belle maison propre et construction récente. Sandra et Michael ont été super. Nous avons pris un tour de nuit avec Michael (observation des animaux et insectes) et nous avons vraiment apprécié! Je le recommande grandement! La route pour s’y rendre est périlleuse mais ça vaut la peine!

I think sometimes I gave 5 stars on Airbnb too quickly, because what Michael and Sandra offer is REALLY worth 5 stars. Host: Michael and Sandra are extremely likeable, kind and helpful. With Michael we did our second night tour in Costa Rica and I have to say: This tour is from another planet. EXTREMELY professional, we saw a lot of animals. Michael speaks perfect English and was able to answer every question. Sandra is stunning. She helped us with all our tours and booked and gave us so many valuable tips, that was infinitely valuable. Accommodation: The place is maximally clean, beautiful and cozy. Hot water from all the taps! The location is phenomenal. Just 2 minutes away by car, it is teeming with bars, restaurants and shops. Thank you again. Sandra & Michael: You are great hosts and what you have there is so great. Take care!

Ich glaube, manchmal habe ich 5 Sterne auf Airbnb zu schnell vergeben, denn das, was Michael und Sandra da bieten, ist WIRKLICH 5 Sterne Wert. Gastgeber: Michael und Sandra sind extrem sympathisch, liebenswürdig und Hilfsbereit. Mit Michael haben wir unsere zweite Nachtour in Costa Rica gemacht und ich muss sagen: Diese Tour ist von einem anderen Stern. EXTREM professionell, wir haben super viele Tiere gesehen. Michael spricht perfektes Englisch und konnte jede Frage beantworten. Sandra ist umwerfend. Sie hat uns mit all unseren Touren geholfen und gebucht und und so viele wertvolle Tipps gegeben, das war unendlich wertvoll. Unterkunft: Die Unterkunft ist maximal sauber, wunderschön und gemütlich. Warmes Wasser als allen Hähnen! Die Lage ist phänomenal. 2 Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt wimmelt es nur von Bars, Restaurants und Läden. Wir bedanken uns nochmals ganz herzlich. Sandra & Michael: ihr seid super tolle Gastgeber und das, was ihr da habt, ist so toll. Macht es gut!

Muchas gracias por sus comentarios,  nos esforzamos mucho para que la limpieza de la casa  sea muy buena y que puedan sentirse en un ambiente mas que agradable y disfrutar de nuestro bosque y del tour de noche al máximo.  Sus palabras nos motivan mucho a hacerlo cada dia mejor .

Michael and Sandra are wonderful hosts! I communicated a fair bit with Sandra in advance for local recommendations and she was very helpful and super responsive. We did two tours with Michael - a night tour and a day tour - and loved both! The house was clean and well equipped for our family of 4. The location was perfect, a quick drive into town. They even gifted us some delicious homemade Christmas cake on Christmas Day!

Muchas gracias por tu comentario. Nos alegra saber que tuvieron un buen momento de navidad en nuestra casa. Y Michael es un gran apasionado por la naturaleza que con mucho gusto muestra a nuestros invitados.  Que disfruten sus vacaciones y regresen en el futuro.

Muchas gracias es muy importante para nosotros ofrecer un lugar cómodo y limpio para disfrutar el bosque de los alrededores.

Beautiful place! Excellent hosts! Close to Monteverde Reserve

Great stay, amazing hosts! Our tours with Michael were definitely the highlight of our trip to Monteverde. You can tell he loves what he does by his depth of knowledge in the field. Fantastic tours! Communication with Sandra and Michael was fantastic. Both were super friendly and proactive. Squeaky clean accommodation that’s comes as shown and described.

Muchas gracias por tan buen comentario,  nos esforzamos para que el alojamiento esté bonito y limpio. Y nos encanta poder ayudar a nuestros huéspedes en todo lo que necesiten.  Que se lleven un excelente recuerdo de Monteverde 🌳

Home away from home. We had a very pleasant stay. It was really clean and the washroom was spotless and the shower had hot water. The kitchen was clean and in a very well kept shape almost new appliances. We felt comfortable to use it and we cooked meals througout our stay. Michael went out of his way to let us know of a Sloth sighting near by walking distance as we mentioned to him that the kids are looking g forward to spot one. Sandra booked couple of places for us and accompanied last minute changes without a cost. We will miss Bella! Thank you both :)

Fue un placer atenderlos. Y gracias por ser amables con Bella 🐶

We loved our stay at Michael and Sandra’s! The night tour and day tour we did with Michael was amazing! We saw so many animals and learned all about Monteverde. Michael and Sandra were so easygoing, responsive and kind to our family. We loved how centrally located their place was. My daughter wanted to stay and keep doing more tours with Michael!

Hermosa familia,  nos alegra saber que les encantó la casa y el bosque con Michael

Warmly greeted by Sandra as we arrived.  Felt right at home.  Home was close to restaurants, 10 minutes from Don Tobias coffee and chocolate tour and the night tour we took was in walking distance at the end of the road.  We hired Michael to do our night and day tour.  He was very knowledgeable and we saw a great deal of animals even right outside their home.  The Monteverde area was colder than I expected and the shower took awhile to get warm but the location and kindness of the hosts made it so memorable.

Fue un placer conocerlos y que bueno saber que se sintieron como en casa.  Somos privilegiados de estar rodeados de bosque y poder ver tantos animales silvestres . Bienvenidos en otra oportunidad!

Michael and Sandra were some of the best Airbnb hosts that we ever encountered. The house was updated and totally pristine. We loved the big windows to be able to watch for wildlife around the property, which we saw a lot of, including monkeys, coatis, hummingbirds and more. Parking was easy, right in front of the house, and we always felt safe, even walking from the wildlife refuge at night. Everyone should experience the night tour at the wildlife refuge, which is a 3 minute walk down the road. Michael and Sandra's communication was impeccable and they went above and beyond what you would expect from a host. They provided us with ideas as to what to do in the area and even messaged us that white-faced monkeys were in the trees right outside our door. We hung out on the porch just watching them scampering from tree to tree. So exciting! The next time we’re in Monteverde, I would definitely stay here again!

Fue un enorme placer poder ayudarte a vivir  una excelente experiencia. Bienvenidos nuevamente cuando gusten y si la casa permite ver muchos animales Gracias 🙂

Sandra and Mike are very reliable, the location is close to cloud forest. The room was very clean. Thank you for having us.

Fue un gusto que se hospedaran con nosotros.  Que disfruten mucho su viaje.

Beautiful spot.  Hosts were very friendly and accommodating.  It is in a great location, close to the town of Santa Elena.  Cabin is clean and just as described.   We did a night tour with Michael. It was great to see all the different species of animals including a sloth, monkey, scorpion and Pit Viper!  Michael was very friendly knowledgeable and obviously enjoys doing the tours. Would definitely stay there again.

Michael & Sandra were amazing! We didn’t know if we going to be able to make out journey because of the government shutdown and flights being cancelled. Michael and Sandra worked with us to cancel the reservation past the deadline and gave us a full refund. We ended up making the flights and rebooking this place last minute and it was worth it! This place is peaceful and private with parking in front of the cabin. As two female travelers, we felt safe and didn’t worry about the car parked outside or our stay inside the cabin. Would definitely come back to stay here when traveling to this area again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Sandra and Michael's place. The Airbnb is very nicely decorated, very clean and the hosts are very warm and friendly. You can also observe a lot of animals from the house. Sandra also lets us know if, for example, Monkeys climbed around the house. We also booked a night tour with Michael. We saw a lot of animals and learned a lot thanks to Michael. We would come back anytime!

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt bei Sandra und Michael sehr genossen. Das Airbnb ist sehr schön eingerichtet, sehr sauber und die Gastgeber sind sehr herzlich und freundlich. Man kann zudem sehr viele Tiere vom Haus aus beobachten. Sandra gibt uns zudem Bescheid, wenn bspw. Affen ums Haus kletterten. Wir haben zudem noch eine Nachttour mit Michael gebucht. Wir haben sehr viele Tiere gesehen und dank Michael extrem viel gelernt. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen!

Overall it was a good stay at this place :) I recommend it 🌞

Globalement c’était un bon séjour dans ce logement :) Je recommande 🌞

One of the best Airbnbs we have stayed in. The place is great, just what you need, just the right size. The place was clean and surrounded by trees and nature. Perfect to relax in; we already miss it! Michael is a great host and served as guide in our touring of the parks. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and just fun to be around. He was great at giving us recommendations of where to go and what to do. Stay here, totally worth it, you won’t regret it. Get Michael to tour you around Monteverde; this will enrich your experience greatly.

Muchas gracias por tus comentarios y son bienvenidos nuevamente en un futuro. Ser guia naturalista y poder mostrar a nuestros huéspedes la biodiversidad de mi país es algo que realmente disfruto mucho. Saludos 🌿

We had a wonderful stay at Michael and Sandra’s AirBnb.  The cabin was very large and spacious.  The bedrooms were very comfortable and the large windows showed a beautiful view of the trees and landscape outside.  The neighborhood is very conveniently located, quiet, and peaceful.  It’s 10 minutes away from downtown Santa Elena.  There was hot water in the shower and good water pressure.  My Mom and friend loved the coffee and coffee machine.  There was a portable electric stove that we could use, and Michael gave clear instructions on how to use it.  There is an adorable dog named Bella who lives on the porch next door.  The hosts were very responsive and helpful.  Thank you for a wonderful stay.  😊🙏

Great place to stay in Monteverde, very close to town!

Michael and Sandra are very nice. Michael is also a very good guide. We did a great bird hike with him in Curi Cancha. Near the house was a sloth mother with baby and toucans flew by And there is a beautiful path behind the house The place is very nice, modern and super clean. we were very satisfied and will return.

Michael und Sandra sind sehr nett. Michael ist außerdem ein sehr guter Guide. wir haben mit ihm eine tolle Vogelwanderung in Curi Cancha gemacht. In der Nähe des Hauses war eine Faultiermutter mit Baby und Tukanen flogen vorbei Und es gibt einen wunderschönen Weg hinter dem Haus Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön , modern und super sauber. wir waren sehr zufrieden und werden wiederkommen.

Michael and Sandra were wonderful hosts and their Green Habitat Cabin was perfect for our family of four. The cabin is a cute, very clean two bedroom cabin with everything you need for your stay. It is very close to town which was super convenient and made it easy to get to restaurants, shops and tours but was in a nice quite neighborhood surrounded by forests and it was safe to go for walks. Michael is also a professional guide and does both daytime and night-time tours. The night tour starts right from your front door (it’s a 2 minute walk to the reserve). Michael’s passion as a naturalist is contagious and his depth of knowledge is amazing. During our stay at his place, when Michael saw Monkeys nearby he texted us to let us know and then he took the time to show us. Michael and Sandra also recommended places to eat, shop and suggested other tours and Sandra even booked them for us. Thank you Micheal and Sandra for taking such good care of us!

We loved our stay. Michael and Sandra were responsive and wonderful hosts. Very knowledgeable of the area. The location is great, close to town and easy to find. It was comfortable for us (3 adults and a toddler). We went on a night tour (on the property) and a day tour (Monteverde Cloud Reserve) with Michael. Highly recommend both! The next time we are in Monteverde we will stay here again!

Very good responsiveness, good advice and services. The accommodation is very clean and has a good location

Très bonne réactivité, de bons conseils et services. Le logement est très propre et bien situé

We enjoyed this large and very well-equipped bungalow very much! Michael&Sandra are great hosts who were always ready with info and answers to our questions. Michael guided us on the night tour in the nearby private reserve and we were, and still are, wildly enthusiastic!🤩 We have already done a lot of tours, but this one really stands out. Unlikely beautiful and surprising and one we won't soon forget. We recommend this gem in Monteverde to everyone! You can only give yourself a wonderful gift by spending some time here in the Monteverde region. Thanks again Michael&Sandra🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

We hebben erg genoten van deze grote en zeer goed uitgeruste bungalow! Michael&Sandra zijn geweldige hosts die altijd paraat stonden met info en antwoorden op onze vragen. Michael heeft samen met ons de night-tour in de nabijgelegen private reserve gegidst en wij waren, zijn nog steeds laaiend enthousiast!🤩 We hebben al heel wat tours achter de rug maar deze springt er echt bovenuit. Onwaarschijnlijk mooi en verrassend en eentje die we niet snel gaan vergeten. Wij raden iedereen dan ook deze parel aan in Monteverde! Je kan jezelf alleen maar een heerlijk cadeau doen door hier enige tijd door te brengen in de Monteverde region. Nogmaals hartelijk dank Michael&Sandra🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Fue un enorme placer conocerlos y que se hospedarse con nosotros. Que bien que les gustó mucho la casa y el tour al bosque. saludos 🌿

Beautifully located cabin in nature, outside the center of Monteverde but close enough to the center. Michael & Sandra were very welcoming and helpful in organizing our stay in Monteverde. Super! We did the night tour with Michael. It is amazing what he finds: snakes, frogs, possums, walking sticks and sleeping birds. Recommended!

Mooi gelegen cabin in de natuur, buiten het centrum van Monteverde maar dicht genoeg bij het centrum. Michael & Sandra waren erg gastvrij en behulpzaam bij het organiseren van ons verblijf in Monteverde. Super! We hebben de nachttour gedaan met Michael. Het is verbazingwekkend wat hij vindt: slangen, kikkers, opossums, wandelende takken en slapende vogels. Een aanrader!

Gracias por hospedarse con nosotros y por sus palabras valiosas  para hacer mejor cada dia nuestro hospedaje.  Disfruten sus vacaciones . Saludos 🌿

I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Monteverde, you could see monkeys and birds directly from the window of the house.

Je recommande cet endroit à tous ceux qui visitent Monteverde, on voyait des singes et des oiseaux directement de la fenêtre de la maison.

We LOVED our stay at Green Habitat.   The beautiful home was the perfect launching point to explore the area around Monteverde. We went on two guided nature hikes with Michael and both were incredible! We saw so many animals- monkeys, sloth, porcupine, raccoon, pit viper, resplendent quetzal, toucan, agouti, coati, and many, many more! Michael was so knowledgeable about the cloud forest and both he and Sandra went above and beyond to ensure we had a magical time in Monteverde.  We would love to come back some day!

The house was faithful to the images, everything was very clean, very nice and central and the hosts helped you with everything you needed

La casa era fiel a las imágenes, estaba todo muy limpio, muy bonita y céntrica y los anfitriones te ayudaban en todo lo que necesitaras

Sandra and Michael were amazing hosts! we went on a night tour w Michael in the nearby wildlife refuge and Sandra was friendly/showed us howler monkeys outside the BNB! it was a clean and comfortable place, very convenient as well to lots of food, drinks and activities.

Michael and Sandra were amazing hosts! would recommend and stay again.

This cabin was very cozy, clean and felt safe. Several restaurants with in a short 5 mins drive, coffee shops, shopping. Michael and Sandra were great hosts and responded with in minutes. Our family traveled from the US and Sandra was really helpful with sharing the best routes to use and what areas to avoid. The night tour with Michael was amazing and he was very knowledgeable. Would stay here again!

Host was very responsive. Helped us find the best coffee at Cafe Monteverde! The cabin was simple and exactly what we needed. Super cool shower! Basic necessities like coffee and sugar were available. Beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Steps away from the reserve. No AC (we knew this), but opening the kitchen window was the perfect breeze. Cool at night so it didn’t matter. Birds and coatis in the morning (and 2 gorgeous toucans). Night tour with Micheal is top notch! It was Awesome!! 2 sloths, 6 side stripe pit vipers, glass bottom frogs, red eye frogs, bell bird, katydid, etc. Felt secure and comfortable. Pizza Roma had superb pizza! Cute downtown area. Hosts live next door and helped with anything we needed. Great experience!
