Beautiful Air BnB. A bit away from center of town so make sure to have 4x4. Host left snacks and drinks which were nice touches.

The home is absolutely gorgeous. It is so thoughtfully architected, decorated, and appointed - we felt like royalty in this home! The rooms are generous, the beds are comfortable beyond belief, the robes and slippers a wonderful touch, the hot tub and the view took it all over the top! We spent two nights here but could’ve spent a week - we gushed over this property every single minute we were awake! The couple in the top room woke up to glance out of the sun windows and saw monkeys dancing around in the tree branches; can you imagine anything better than that? The food! The snacks! There was enough food for two whole breakfasts, which is so helpful given the remote nature and rocky terrain of Monteverde. The hosts were incredible communicators and gave great recommendations- Kapi Kapi was a close restaurant and it was delicious! I could write so much more about this wonderful, incredible home, but I think you should stop looking and book this place before someone else does!

All the reviews were correct on this listing! It’s absolutely wonderful and all of the extras are a nice touches. Definitely one of my favorite Airbnb’s that I’ve stayed in. The only surprise is that there’s another cabin as a close by neighbor. Just something to note, that it’s not as private as I expected in case that is important to you. But definitely book it! You won’t regret it.
