Private Green Refuge Villas (4 Suites, 3 Jacuzzis) - Cabins for Rent in Monte Verde, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Lovely place, 100% recommended for large groups. Elvis is a super host who is willing to provide any kind of help. We were a group of nationals, but if I had been getting to know the country, I would have liked to have had that kind of accompaniment. So, whether you're a local or a tourist, I invite you to get to know this place!!

Un lugar precioso, 100% recomendado para grandes grupos. Elvis un super anfitrión anuente a facilitar cualquier tipo de ayuda. Nosotros éramos un grupo de nacionales, pero si yo estuviera conociendo el país, me hubiera gustado tener ese acompañamiento. Así, nacionales o turistas, los invito a conocer este lugar!!

I had a wonderful stay at this place. Elvis is super responsive and always willing to help. The room is very clean and the location is close to many attractions. Definitely a great experience!

What an absolutely fantastic place to stay, and an incredible host. Elvis was extremely responsive, and so helpful. The houses are absolutely perfect, and you immediately felt right at home. Thank you so much!

Beautiful location, clean and well equipped. Close to everything. Elvis was very proactive and a great communicator. Highly recommend :)

Elvis was so accommodating and helped arrange for excursions for us. The location is tranquil and there are lush Forrest views. Walking distance to many restaurants and hikes.

Great property and great communication from the host.

A beautiful, clean, luxurious stay to enjoy the lush scenery. You won’t be disappointed if you book.

Elvis's place is what it looks like in the photos. it is very clean. I would say that since we had the whole place it's like two hotel rooms connected by a stairway with porches on the front and back with little kitchens. He was very quick to respond and met us to check in. He was very very helpful and friendly. I would recommend staying here. I would note that when coming down the final road, you turn before the night walk sign on the right and this home is right in there on the right side. and there was enough parking for us all

Elvis was so helpful! He helped us book some great excursions with excellent guides. The houses were spotless and exactly as advertised. Ear plugs are helpful if you’re visiting during windy season.

The cabins are really great for big families, or two families traveling together like us this time. It's in a very quiet, tranquil place, yet very accessible to great restaurants in the Santa Elena and Monteverde downtowns. It's just next to an open reserve, where it takes only 2 minutes to go to a night tour. The cabins are spacious, clean, and above all, reasonably priced. Elvis is the most friendly host I've ever had, who was super proactive in offering help to book reservations and even answer my questions about driving routes. Elvis helped me book two tours hassle free while we were enjoying our day or resting, which was a huge plus to non-Spanish speakers and travelers with kids. Don't worry about price being inflated, no, Elvis just made the reservations and we paid whatever the place would charge in you walk in.

Very accommodating, close to restaurants and tours.

Beautiful place, I would have stayed longer

Hermoso lugar, me hubiese quedado más tiempo

The two homes we rented are in the Wildlife Refuge in Monteverde. Our family of 8 persons felt right at home with the spacious and well appointed location. Nestled right next to the forest, we had the opportunity to see from our balcony numerous birds and one afternoon the travel of an entire troop of Cara Blanca monkeys moving along at the top of the trees - literally 25 + of them. The accommodations are great, beds comfortable, bathrooms set-up nicely - everything worked well. We spent six days in Monteverde with fun activities in the surrounding area from zip-line, to coffee/chocolate experience, bird watching, trails, and likely the most memorable less than 100 meters from the homes - Night Tour. The best thing about the location was the host - Elvis. Keen to check us in and to inform us of things to do, helped with a reservation for the Night Tour, and general knowledge of the area. Bilingual - so communication was easy. Highly recommend - Wildlife Refuge - Monteverde!!

We loved our stay at the Villas!  It was a short drive to downtown where we enjoyed several wonderful meals and close to the activities we wanted to experience. Elvis was a great host, helping us with reservations and quickly responding to any questions that we had. We would definitely stay here again.

Elvis was wonderful! He was very helpful and provided a lot of information from the day we booked. While we were there he helped us get a cab to go into town and also was very responsive when a group member left their phone in-the cab. Fortunately, the phone was retuned. I would highly recommend his AirBnB.  You won’t be disappointed

Our stay was amazing. The location is a quick walk into town and a short drive to lots of activities. The property is beautiful and so clean! Elvis was also extremely helpful in getting excursions booked for us. I cannot recommend this location enough!

This beautiful Airbnb was right next to a Wildlife Refuge which was super convenient. The lodge was private, secure, clean & beautiful. There is a coffee shop and brewery within walking distance and honestly the best meal of our trip was at the brewery! If you want to venture further, you'll need a car or taxi to get to shops & restaurants. Elvis was able to help us with organizing tours and transportation and this was an awesome base for our party of 8. I would love to stay here again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this Airbnb to all my friends and family.

Fantastic location and 5 star "concierge" services from Elvis and team. We had a wonderful stay, thanks to the villa's perfect location and all the advice Elvis gave us on booking activities.

It was a beautiful space, and the host was accommodating. Very lovely ! Thank you!

Great location right next to the wildlife refugee. They were able were able to help set up tours and were very informative and helpful. The pictures to get to the Airbnb were helpful as our GPS was off during the drive. Clean and as described

Monteverde was the second leg of our CR trip. Our other destinations were near the beaches and we spent a lot of time in those houses enjoying the pool, cooking, etc. This house in Monteverde is more of a place to rest at the end of the day and it did its job perfectly. The house is cozy, clean, free of odors. The only negative was that the room upstairs was pretty loud at night with all of the wind in MV. It is also not a great place if you plan to save money by cooking meals. The kitchen is suitable mainly for breakfast and coffee. The best part was the host Elvis. He went above and beyond with helping us plan our trip and book local activities in the area. He is super knowledgeable and extremely responsive. The house is within a 15 minute drive of the activities in MV and Santa Elena. Overall, I highly recommend this house unless you are looking for something more extravagant.

This place exceeded our expectations and worked well for our group of 9. We rented 2 units side by side. It had great parking and was close to town where there were multiple restaurants and grocery stores. Elvis is amazing and was so friendly and responsive. He checked in on us multiple times to ensure we had everything we needed. Whether it was questions on directions, excursions, or restaurants  he gave quick responses. His recommendations were always accurate. The units themselves are private and allow you to enjoy the sounds of nature. Each unit had a beautiful bathroom and adequate kitchen to be able to cook anything you like. The balconies were a great spot to relax each night. Overall we couldnt be more pleased and will definitely return. We will be recommending this place to our friends and family.

We are a party of 12 and were hesitant when choosing this location. But it was so worth it when you saw it in person. Beautiful location, calm, and Elvis is so responsive. He helped us to coordinate the tours and with taxi service. Definitely we will visit again in the future. Felt like staying at home. Thank you Elvis for all your help

Elvis helped us a lot. He organized and advised us on everything. A wonderful host. 100% recommended! Very clean and beautiful houses. We loved it. Thank you so much

Elvis nos ayudó muchísimo. Nos organizó y aconsejó en todo. Un maravilla de host. 100% recomendable! Las casas muy limpias y preciosas. Nos encantó. muchas gracias

Outstanding place to stay in Monteverde. Location is right next to the Monteverde wildlife refuge (with night tours). Our accommodations were two houses next to each other, each with two units (upstairs and downstairs) which can function independently (each unit has its own kitchenette, bathroom, dining table, etc). The breeze from the surrounding forest is super soothing and rejuvenating. We got some of the best sleep here. The host Elvis is amazing and incredibly helpful and responsive. He helped arrange all of our tours and transportation while in Monteverde. We will definitely have to come back in the future. Thank you for a fabulous stay and great memories!

Elvis was an absolutely wonderful host.  He proactively reached out to us and shared a lot of incredible tips that helped us make the most of our trip.  He even helped us with dinner arrangements and was always responsive whenever we had questions.  The location of the property is central to a lot of attractions in Monteverde and we even got to see monkeys from our backyard.  Though the roads in Monteverde can be tough to navigate we were able to easily use Waze to find the home and we truly enjoyed being right next to a natural reserve.  Would highly recommend this location.

Great, convenient spot near Monteverde for our group! Elvis was a great host and very responsive with check-in to our clean, spacious house. Great amenities and overall very comfortable stay!!

Amazing. Everything was as described, Elvis was so kind and helped us check in earlier and was very flexible. He also reserved/organized our group activities without additional charges. Great recommendations, great area and Airbnb was clean and spacious. Would stay again!

Elvis was an incredible host and so kind! He was so responsive and even went the extra mile to offer to help us book our excursions. Words can’t decide how magical this experience was. 10/10 would highly recommend everyone stay here while visiting Monteverde!

Can’t say enough about how great this place is.  Elvis was EXTREMELY helpful in every way.   Do yourself a favor and stay here when visiting Monteverdi

Wonderful property and easy host! Our family stayed in all four units (2 buildings) and it was perfect for what we needed.  A solid hole base close to everything in monteverde.  Very happy with the whole experience and grateful to Elvis who went above and beyond not only with recommendations but organizing outings for us!

House was clean, communication was perfect, and overall had a great experience here!

The house was wonderful. We rented all four units. They were all very clean and nicely decorated. The location is very good. The units are fairly new. We had a nice time and enjoyed our stay.

These homes (we rented 2 buildings- each with 2 units- an upstairs and downstairs unit that connect through a stairway) were clean and spacious. We were a group of 7 and had plenty of room. Each individual space (4) has a small kitchenette stocked with the basics including coffee:)- which made it easy to do basic meal prep. The location has a nice back patio view to the forest- we say white face monkeys passing through one morning. it is good (not great) for those that don't rent a car- you can walk the the Monteverde Brewery (which had a killer chicken burger and great beer) in a 5-7 minute walk, an Italian restaurant in a 10 minute walk, and a market in a 12 minute walk. If there is one downside to this rental, it is that there is no common gathering area. We gathered in one unit for breakfast and drinks at the end of the day, but the individual units don't have sitting space for more than 4. It may also not be a great space if you have small kids and want to be close to them; while you can easily move between units, for kids <5 the stairs might be an issue. Elvis was a gracious host and easy to communicate with.

We had a great time in Monteverde. Elvis was great and the house was clean. We hope to visit again next year!

This is an excellent location and we would highly recommend. The host welcomed us when we arrived and he gave us a tour of the home. We rented both floors, one for our adult kids and another for ourselves. It was the perfect set up. The home was very clean and upscale, the view was beautiful, and we felt very safe. Although a small town, the restaurants we visited had some amazing food. We loved being in the middle of the rainforest.

Excellent location, great amenities, very communicative host. Would definitely recommend.

I would highly recommend staying here! Great for big family’s or multiple couples, private, clean, very helpful and friendly host!

Amazing house! Had everything so well equipped. Awesome location! Close to everything. Beautiful design! Comfortable. Lovely decoration Great stay! Plan to go again

Elvis and his wife were super helpful. We were family of 12 stayed at his place. Perfect, for large family. Very clean and quiet place. If you like nature this is the place to stay.
