2BR house in Monte Verde

Natural Wonders House: Where nature awaits you! - Houses for Rent in Monte Verde, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

We had a lovely stay at the Natural Wonders house! The surroundings are beautiful and we saw several wild animals! The house was clean and had everything we needed. Daniela is a very responsive host and even helped organize an excursion for us.

Daniela was wonderful and responsive. The house is lovely with many personal touches. It offers big windows and many lovely places to sit and walk. We saw lots of birds and wildlife right on the property. Daniela helped us with transportation many times...so sweet.

Despite the wetter than we expected weather, we still had a lovely time. Wind and rain were exciting, while we were nice and cozy inside. Gorgeous surroundings, felt like we were in a treehouse with windows on all sides facing into green!  Very private, and we felt comfortable leaving the curtains open all the time.

A lovely place surrounded by nature and close to Santa Elena and the cloud forests.

Lovely home; the large windows are amazing. Right in the middle of the beautiful forest. There are plenty of short walks nearby, which is very convenient with the kids. The house is fully equipped. Lovely decor. There were a few maintenance issues. A balcony with an amazing sunset. Everything is very, very beautiful. Daniela was lovely and always ready to help. We really enjoyed our stay.

בית מקסים החלונות הגדולים מדהימים. ממש באמצע היער היפהפה. יש הרבה הליכות קצרות ליד מאד נוח עם הילדים. הבית בסך הכל מאובזר. עיצוב מקסים. היו מעט ענייני תחזוקה. מרפסת עם שקיעה מדהימה. הכל מאד מאד יפה. דניאלה היתה מקסימה ותמיד נכונה לסייע. ממש נהננו.

We only had one night at Natural Wonders, but we wish we could have stayed longer. The platform bridge is perfect for stargazing, and we really enjoyed walking the grounds in the morning. The beds were comfortable, and the shower was hot—ideal for the chilly Monteverde nights. We would stay here again.

Our stay at Natural Wonders House was incredible. The house is spacious and has everything you need to feel at home - well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, good water pressure and hot water. Daniela was an excellent host and very helpful during the whole process helping book tours etc. The kids loved the playground available to guests and the breakfast spot was very good as well. We didn't have a car during our stay and found the location very walkable, but taxi are available as well. We loved relaxing in the house and viewing all the wildlife from the viewing decks. Saw toucans, monkeys, lots of birds and agouti. The house gets warm during the day in the sun but we didn't mind because the mornings and evenings are cool and we mostly stayed outside and enjoyed the breeze. It was magical stay we will fondly remember and highly recommend.

A uniquely and thoughtfully designed house in a beautiful setting.  The connection with nature and the observation deck with a commanding view of the valley are gorgeous.

This is a strikingly beautiful and very unique house that was clearly designed and built with great care, creativity and love.  I lay in bed at night watching the stars through the floor-to-ceiling bedroom window. The next morning, I enjoyed a magnificent view from the observation deck high above the house.  Guests have access to a private park and playground, and a network of forest trails.  The Vargas family clearly cares about giving their guests a memorable experience.  The house is designed with many unusual and beautiful details (for example, the wooden bird carvings above the ceiling lights, each different).  Customer service was thoughtful and generous (a homemade banana bread was waiting for me when I arrived).  This is a very special Airbnb and I highly recommend it!

Thank you so much, Peter, for such a detailed and heartfelt review. We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the house, the views, the private park and trails, and all the little details that make it special. It means a lot to us that you felt cared for and that the experience was memorable. Your kind words truly warm our hearts, and we would love to welcome you back anytime!  Greetings, Daniela 🌺✨

We had a great stay at the Vargas Family’s home. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in the area!

Thank you so much, Pierce! We’re glad you had a great stay and truly appreciate your recommendation. We’d be happy to welcome you back anytime! Greetings, Daniela 🌺✨

We really enjoyed our stay with the Vargas family in the Natural Wonders house and Daniela was an excellent and very responsive host. The house was very comfortable, had everything we needed, the interior was beautifully decorated with wonderful woodwork, and the large windows let in lots of light. We enjoyed watching for wildlife from the living room and deck. And we especially enjoyed watching the sun set from the viewing platform above the roof. The house sits on a large piece of private property with several other rental houses tucked out of sight in the woods.  There are trails in the woods you can wander and a large playground for kids. They also serve a yummy breakfast at a great price at their guest-only breakfast café near the park. I would highly recommend staying here, especially for families with kids or those that would like to just take it slow and relax. There are several nice restaurants within a 10-minute walk and town is about a 20-minute walk with a few hills.

Coy, thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and beautiful review! It was a true pleasure hosting you at the Natural Wonders house, and we’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We’re delighted that you found the house comfortable, bright, and well equipped, and that you were able to enjoy the views, the trails, and the sunset platform. We’re also thrilled to know that the breakfast and the peaceful atmosphere were part of your experience. We truly appreciate your recommendation and your kind words. You and your family are always welcome back whenever you'd like to relax and enjoy nature again. A big hug to you and your family! 🌿😊

Easy in/out. Felt safe. Close to town. Fun park nearby for kids. Home is much better in person than the pictures show

Thank you, Shawn! We’re glad you felt safe and enjoyed the convenient location, especially the nearby park for the kids. It’s wonderful to hear the home exceeded your expectations in person — that means a lot to us! We’d love to host you again anytime. Best regards, Daniela & the team ❤️❤️

The whole family loved this house. The private garden and observation deck from which we could observe many birds and butterflies were fabulous! I would recommend this place without hesitation.

Toute la famille a adoré cette maison. Le jardin et la plate-forme d’observation privés d’où nous avons pu observer de nombreux oiseaux et papillons étaient fabuleux! Je recommande ce logement sans hésiter.

Thank you so much, Stephan! We’re so happy to hear that your whole family loved the house and especially enjoyed the garden and the private observation deck — it truly is a special spot for bird and butterfly watching! 🦋🕊️ Thank you for your kind recommendation. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re always welcome back! Warm regards, Daniela & the team ❤️❤️

What an amazing house! We ran into a few problems, totally out of the control of our hosts, and they could not have been more amazing and helpful! They truly went above and beyond to help us. The whole Vargas family, but especially Daniela, were amazing! The house is cool, the property is unique and the surrounding area is gorgeous. Our kids loved the outdoor space and nearby playground.

Allison, thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We’re so grateful for your kind words and for your understanding during the unexpected bumps along the way. It truly means a lot to us that you still had a wonderful experience and felt supported — that’s exactly what we hope to offer every guest. It was a real pleasure hosting you and your lovely family. We’re so happy the kids enjoyed the outdoor space and playground — and that you appreciated the house and surroundings! You’re always welcome back! Warm hugs from Daniela and the entire Vargas family 💛

The pictures absolutely do NOT do it justice. The house is gorgeous! All the details from floor to ceiling are beautiful. Daniela was super responsive with questions  I had and was proactive with communication. Saw tons of birds, coatis and agoutis. Don’t hesitate! Book it!

Marissa, thank you so much for your wonderful words! We’re truly happy to hear that the house exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed all the little details — from floor to ceiling. It’s also amazing that you got to see so much wildlife; the coatis, agoutis, and birds really make the experience special! 🌿🐦 It was a pleasure hosting you, and I’m so glad the communication felt smooth and helpful. Thank you for recommending us so enthusiastically — you’re welcome back anytime! Warmly, Daniela & the team 🧡🧡

Great space for a visit to Monteverde. The surroundings are great.  The distance to the downtown area is not far, but it is very hilly. So not walkable if you are not able to walk many steep hills.  But the drive is easy enough. We enjoyed the wildlife around the house as well. Daniela was a great host and very helpful with recommendations.

Thank you so much, Lynsie, for such a lovely review of our house, Natural Wonders ❤❤ Our house is approximately 15-20 minutes from downtown Santa Elena (on foot) and about a 5-minute drive. You're welcome to our house whenever you want to return. Best regards, Daniela. ❤❤

We stayed in the MOON wonder house because of a double booking. Daniella texted me up front and asked if we would relocate to the other house. She gave clear directions. Daniella was a great hostess, responded immediately when we send here a message. The moon wonder house is a great place in the middle of nature. Our children’s loved all the detailed space stuff. Kitchen has everything you need. It does get quite warm in daytime and cold at night but I his didn’t bother us. The only reason why we gave 4 stars is because the furniture looks amazing but is not so comfortable. We would recommend this house!

Thank you dear Esther and family. I love knowing that everyone, but especially the kids enjoyed everything we have for you at our MOON WONDERS HOUSE to the fullest. For us it is always a real pleasure to be able to receive any kind of constructive criticism from our guests as this helps us grow and remain exclusive. Thank you so much for letting us know your thoughts regarding the chairs, everything in the house is 100% made by our family, from the tables, the lamps, everything... that's why it takes us some time to make any changes, however we will write it down to work on it. Kind regards, Daniela.💖💖🌺🌺

We really enjoyed our stay here! We were welcomed with a loaf of banana bread and let inside by the wonderful host. Our favorite part was the viewing deck on top of the house, where we spotted animals from and watched the sunset with a beautiful view. Would 10/10 recommend this stay!

Thank you very much dear Caroline for this lovely comment about our house NATURAL WONDERS. It really does have an incredible view, especially at sunset since you can go to the viewing platform at the top of the house. You are welcome when you return to Monteverde. Greetings Daniela❤❤

We had a fun time! Very good location, close to all activities by car. The listing's location is great. We saw lots of different animals just from the balcony. Very nice view from the rooftop balcony. Very nice to fall asleep to the sounds of the jungle. The hosts were super responsive and even left us a banana bread upon arrival.

Nous avons adoré notre séjour. Très bien situé, près de toutes les activités en auto. Les environs du logement sont super. On a vu pleins d’animaux différents seulement depuis le balcon. Très belle vue du balcon du toit. Très agréable de s’endormir aux bruits de la jungle. Les hôtes étaient super réactifs et nous on même laissé un pain au bananes à notre arrivée.

Dear Marianne, thank you so much for this wonderful comment about our house NATURAL WONDERS. Reading this kind of review really fills me with joy. You are also welcome to come back and visit us whenever you want. Regards Daniela❤❤

our host was very kind and responsive. the house is very unique and has some very charming attributes including a beautiful outdoor space, large windows and great views. it is a charming place. there is no heating and it was cool when we were there. they provided a space heater and extra blankets so we managed just fine. keep this in mind if traveling when cooler. Daniela made us fresh banana bread, offered to help with tours and was very responsive. we enjoyed our stay!

Thank you so much Tasleem for this lovely comment ❤. And it is correct, for our future guests... We do NOT have heaters listed in the house, but if you need one or anything else, you can let me know and I will always be happy to do my best to make our guests' stay the best. Tasleem and family, you can come back whenever you like and you will always be very welcome. Greetings Daniela❤❤

We loved our time at the Blue House! We were visited by monkeys and agoutis and the surroundings are just really peaceful. Daniela, our host, was extremely responsive and helpful. We stayed there over Christmas and had no problem not having A/C; there was no need for it. I recommend checking out the Escondido Farm-to-Table restaurant just down the street for an amazing happy hour with views! Would definitely recommend staying here: a charming house with much personality!

Thank you very much Melina and company for such a nice comment for our NATURAL WONDERS house. Thank you for coming! You are welcome to come back whenever you want. Greetings, Daniela ❤❤

Second time staying here and it was even better this time somehow. They added a cool addition in the backyard. This place is spectacular. Don’t think twice this is the spot!

Alex, thank you for the lovely comment. We try to be better every time, that is why for your third visit it will be even better than it was this second time. We always want to be your best option when you visit Monteverde. We will always be waiting for you with open doors. Greetings, Daniela. ❤️❤️

A very unique place to stay that is very private yet still walking distance to town!

Thanks Jordan for choosing Natural Wonders as an important part of your trip. It was a pleasure to receive you in Monteverde. You are more than welcome for when you want to come back. Greetings, Daniela ❤️❤️

Obsessed with this place - everything is handmade by Daniela’s lovely family — the wood decor, the house itself, the lamps and art. It’s so beautiful and special. Most of the house is made of windows meaning you literally feel like you are hanging in a treehouse in the middle of the jungle. The location and grounds are beautiful and the house was cozy, comfortable and stocked with everything we needed. Daniela checked us in and answered all of our questions. Our kids loved playing at “Abuellos hangout” the playground they created down the road. It was very special to stay at an airbnb where you can tell it’s a family business where each family member has their unique part - truly it felt like a different experience and we loved it. Thanks Daniela and fam for making us feel so welcome and at home ❤️

Thank you very much, dear Sara, for such a lovely comment about our house. ❤️ Thank you and your family for choosing Natural Wonders as an important part of your trip. I am very happy to read this comment and know that you had an incredible time. Of course, you are welcome to come back whenever you want. I hope to welcome you here soon. Best regards, Daniela.🤍🤍

Overall good place. In town but also on the edge of forest. No exterior light makes it challenging to find after darkness. No internal heating or cooling. It has good outdoor area to look at the surrounding.

Thank you very much, dear guest, for your comment. And yes, the house is close to supermarkets, restaurants, etc., but at the same time it is private within the forest. As for the outside light, we have already installed lamps. And as for the heating, the house does not have it listed, but for our future guests; if you need a heater, you can ask me for one and I will gladly help you. Regards, Daniela. ❤❤❤

Daniela was super responsive and very helpful in planning our trip. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful nature-filled trip.  My husband and I enjoyed the back patio watching the many birds and wildlife visit the property.  Sleeping was super comfortable and everyone, including our daughter, enjoyed a good night sleep each night.  Would definitely rent again!!

Thanks Liz and family for choosing our house as an important part of your trip. I am very happy to know that you had enjoyed everything over here, as well, you are welcome to come back whenever you want too. Greetings, Daniela. ❤❤

Look no further if Monteverde is your destination! The home is impeccable and  the surroundings, so lush and magical! So close to the parks, restaurants and activities we had planned (night tours and bird watching). Many animals and birds come through and the hummingbirds are our favorite. The viewing spot above the home was such added such a nice touch for bird viewing and sunsets. Daniela was so kind and easy to communicate with and I love that it’s family run. Highly recommend!

Pisey, thank you so much for the beautiful comment about our house. Happy to know that you had enjoyed your stay at the house... You are welcome to come back to Monteverde whenever you want, you are an amazing family. Best regards, Daniela. ❤❤❤

We really enjoyed the nature home. Lots of birds, and occasional monkeys 🐒.

Thanks Kathiravan for your visit to our house. You are welcome for whenever you want to come back. Greetings, Daniela. ❤❤

This home is beautiful and peaceful! This might have been my favorite Airbnb ever. We loved all the windows, the washer and dryer, the kitchen, and the outside areas. The balcony was an amazing place to take in the view and the outdoor dining area provided a lovely peaceful spot to look for some animals. This house was close to the Murciélago waterfall where we went hiking and even swam. We loved cooking in the kitchen and felt relaxed and at home there.

Thanks Leah for your pretty comment to our property ❤❤ I am really happy to know that you had enjoyed your stay at Monteverde. Now you can come back whenever you want too, greetings Daniela. ❤❤

Thank you so much! We had a beautiful time. The beds were very comfortable. Thank you for being such a great host and checking in on us throughout our stay! I will be back :)

Thanks Talia, for choosing our house as part of your trip. You are more than welcome for when you want to come back. Greetings, Daniela. ❤❤

This house was amazing-the pictures don’t do it justice.  Amazing bird watching from the huge windows and the observation deck.  The house was spotless and had a unique vibe.  We enjoyed day and night hikes at the preserve.  Walking distance to the original Monteverde butterfly garden.  The house was walking distance to a few restaurants.

Happy to know that you had enjoyed all our details of the house. And yes, we have a few things to do in walk distance such as the butterfly garden, the roots, Valle Escondido Preserve, restaurants and a supermarkety¿ nearby. Ypu are more than welcome to come when ever you want too. Greetings Steph, Daniela. ❤❤

We had a great experience  staying at family Vargas place. The host was always there to answer our questions and to help us with some bookings. the house was spacious and clean. We enjoyed the house outdoors too as well and the kids loved the playground.

Thank you very much Marco for such a nice comment about our house. I am very happy to know that you enjoyed your stay very much, and yes, to future clients; I will always be happy to help you with everything I can to make your trip easier and so that you can enjoy it to the fullest. Whether it is helping to give suggestions, recommendations or helping to book tours for you. We hope to have you visit us some other time Marco, you are an excellent family. Greetings, Daniela. ❤❤

We had a lovely stay. We especially loved the large windows, outdoor patio and amazing walkway and rooftop overlook. Amazing for bird watching.

Thank you Doro, I am very glad that you enjoyed your stay in our house. You will always be very well received in our house. Greetings, Daniela ❤❤❤

A beautiful house in the middle of nature, easy access and a short distance from Santa Elena . Communication with Daniela was excellent from the time we booked. We really enjoyed the terrace watching the hummingbirds , butterflies and different birds, as well as the visit of coatis and capybaras. The viewpoint allows a beautiful view by day, and in the night of the starry sky. Definitely a place to go back !

Una hermosa casa en medio de la naturaleza, fácil acceso y a muy poca distancia de Santa Elena . La comunicación con Daniela fue excelente desde el momento en que reservamos. Disfrutamos mucho la terraza contemplando los colibríes , mariposas y diferentes aves, así como la visita de coatis y capybaras. El mirador permite una vista hermosa de día, y en la noche del cielo estrellado . Definitivamente un lugar para volver !

Muchas gracias Ayda por su comentario tan lindo, esto nos llena de mucha felicidad. Son una familia increíble. Esperamos tenerlos pronto en nuestra casa. Les deseo lo mejor de lo mejor. Saludos, Daniela. ♥♥♥

We had such a great time at this house. It has such beautiful nature and wildlife, and we loved the balcony perch and the large windows. Great for birdwatching! It was clean and the host was friendly and responsive.

Thanks Abby for such a beautiful comment to our house and host. I am glad to know that you had enjoyed your stay at our house. For sure we´ll be happy to receive you in our house much more times. Greetings, Daniela. ❤ ❤

We absolutely loved staying at the Natural Wonders house. This house is completely custom built. It is truly a unique experience and will make a bird watcher out of anyone. Our family enjoyed the home, the games provided and the private play area where they will also make you breakfast. This family has a few properties in the area and we would absolutely stay in their homes again.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Natural Wonders House. From the beginning, Daniella was very proactive and helpful. She also made herself available for a late-night check-in on Easter, which was very nice of her. The house had everything we needed and the beautiful backyard was so fun to explore. The location was close enough to walk to several restaurants, but was tucked away down the road to ensure privacy. We had breakfast our first morning and it was absolutely delicious! My only complaint is the temperaure in the house during the day. As other reviewers have suggested, window screens are seriously needed. The fans in the living room do not help much to circulate the air. Luckily, if your shut the bedroom doors, they stay cooler. With that being said, we'd still stay here again. This is a true gem of the Santa Elena area. So glad we found this place!

Thank you very much Katie for your nice comment about our house. I am very happy to know that you enjoyed your stay with us, as well as the breakfast. You are welcome whenever you want to visit us again. ♡ Believe me, we always accept constructive criticism with a lot of positivity and I promise you that we are in that process of improvement. At first we only had one fan, currently we have 3. The curtains involve a large investment and that is why we are in that process, and we are going to solve the problem as soon as we have the opportunity to do so. You were wonderful guests. Greetings Daniela. ♡♡

What a wonderful place to stay. Very comfortable and everything clean. The host was always available and answered any questions immediately.

Thanks Alejandra for such a nice comment, i am really happy to know that you had enjoyed your stay at our house.  And I am always happy to help my guest with all they may need. You are more than welcome for when you want to come back. Greetings, Daniela. ❤

This space was even more beautiful than the description. It was clean and we greatly enjoyed the wildlife from the walkway. The only challenge is that the windows made the space get very hot during the afternoon. But things cooled off nicely at night and in the morning. I would stay here again.

Thank you very much Theodore, for the nice and positive comments about our house. 💙 We also greatly appreciate constructive comments for our house, since our main goal is for our guests to feel comfortable and enjoy their stay, that is why we will immediately take your comment to implement more fans in the house. We look forward to your visit again. Greetings Daniela.

We had an excellent stay Natural Wonders. It’s a a beautiful residence and the hosts were helpful and timely with communication. We’d come back for sure. Thanks!

Thanks Jared for your comment. We will be waiting for you for when you want to return to Monteverde. 🩷 Greetings, Daniela. 🩷🩷

The Vargas family was very friendly. The home was clean and comfortable. The observation tower/terrace were awesome! Thank you!

Happy to read your comment Michael, you can come back whenever you want too. See you soon. Greetings, Daniela. 🩷🩷

The home was absolutely beautiful.   You feel  part of nature with the large windows and the outside spaces.  The home was a work of art.  It was clean and comfortable.    The only negative  that I have is poor ventilation.  Sleeping at night with a fan was very comfortable but during the day the glass house heats up quickly and is a hot box.  It is not comfortable for day time enjoyment.   This can easily be corrected with ventilation, screens and some ceiling fans.  Having said that this space is special and  I would still stay there again as it was calming, unique and peaceful.  It is close to town but secluded at the same time.   The kitchen was fully stocked, the bedrooms were lovely and the living and eating spaces are more than ample.  Very artistic home surrounded by nature.

Thank you very much Tracey, for the nice and positive comments about our house. 💙 We also greatly appreciate constructive comments for our house, since our main goal is for our guests to feel comfortable and enjoy their stay, that is why we will immediately take your comment to implement more fans in the house.

Daniela is an excellent host. She's very responsive, friendly and easy to communicate with. The house was very clean and comfortable. The location is very convenient, close to downtown Santa Elena and a short drive to Monteverde. It's very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed watching the agoutis and coatis in the backyard.

Sean, thanks for your nice comment. 💙 You are more than welcome for when you want to come back. Greetings, Daniela.  🌸🌸

Felt like paradise! From the moment we arrived we were in awe of the beauty of this home and its surroundings. Close to shops and restaurants in the little town but loved that it was towards the end of a street so we didn’t hear vehicles at all. Host was proactive in reaching out if we needed anything with the home or help with knowledge of what to do in the area, which was very nice because it was our first time in the area. We have 2 kids and loved that they could play in the yard while we relaxed on the deck. Would definitely recommend!

I am happy you had a great time in our property. ❤ Now you know that you are more then welcome for when you want to come back again. Greetings, Daniela :D

Beautiful place surrounded with nature and wildlife, in fact a coati and an agouti visited us on the back porch one day. The house has everything you need for a small family, beds are comfy, hot shower, basic kitchen sets. There is a nearby restaurant that is within walkable distance. No heater however and it gets cold at night, but it's no problem with a cpl blankets. A cpl nights we stayed there was really high wind that made the house creaked and squeaked, wifi was knocked out for half a day. Regardless, we still love it. Monteverde is a lesser-known tourist destination but is a beautiful town with a feel of a small ski resort. There are many great restaurants all around. On the other hands, the road to get there is not in good condition with many big pot holes or completely damaged to gravel road in certain parts. Only the main roads are paved while many are just gravel or dirt roads, including one leading up to the house. So a high clearance car/SUV is highly recommended.

Hello Khoi. Thank you for the comment about our house, we are very happy to know that you liked everything about it. And yes, we do not have heating but we do provide extra blankets for each of the beds so that you can use them whenever you need/like. As for the internet problem, it is something that almost never happens, however I did everything in my power to report the problem since it was not something that we could fix by ourselves, but a general problem of the company that distributes the internet to all the neighbours. Thank you once again for deciding to stay at our house. You are welcome for when you want to come back.. Greetings, Daniela. ♥

We really enjoyed our stay. Great location and a unique home. particularly enjoyed the playground and monkeys in the tree right outside the house.

Thanks Tatyana for your comment. We are really happy that you had enjoyed the playground. Greetings, Daniela.

Daniela was very helpful from checking in to checkout great recommendations and wonderful playground for kids. we saw lots of wildlife around. highly recommend!

Thank you for coming to our house and to Monteverde. We are very happy to be able to have you visit a second time in the future. Greetings, Daniela.

Natural Wonders House was the perfect place for our family to explore the Monteverde area.  We especially enjoyed the bird watching from the outdoor deck and platform walkways on the property. Daily visits from Motmots, along with toucanettes and many more varieties. We actually saw more birds than on our guided tour in Monteverde Preserve.  Christine was very responsive to any questions or concerns during our stay.  Highly recommend!

Hello Mary & Terry, thank you both for such a nice comment ❤️ we hope to have you visit again. For our future guests, we are always happy to help you with everything we can, is just to have a constant comunication of host - guest. Greetings, Daniela. ✨

This was a perfect retreat in Monteverde.  We loved the tower above the house and saw many beautiful birds from here.  The house has very unique and artistic decor and large windows to view the beautiful yard.  The owner was very responsive and even left us some banana bread to enjoy.  I would recommend!

Thank you Lindsay for such a nice comment. I hope you come back to visit us. Greetings, Daniela.

Exceeded our expectations! Absolutely stunning place to stay with great facilities and close to attractions. We have two small children age 2 and 6 months. Was very child friendly as there wasn’t any clutter. We sat in the mornings and watched the emerald toucanets in the trees and pretty hummingbirds. An absolute gem, must stay if in Monteverde. The pictures just don’t do it justice!

Sacha, thank you for such a nice comment ❤️ you were great guests, we hope to have you visit again. Greetings, Daniela. ✨

Daniela spoiled us with a fine cake. The stay with the viewing terrace was very nice. We were able to observe many animals

Daniela hat uns mit einem feinem Kuchen verwöhnt. Der Aufenthalt mit der Aussichtsterrasse war sehr schön. Wir konnten viele Tiere beobachten.

Thank you very much Andreas for such a nice comment, our main objective is that each of our clients is always satisfied and happy enjoying their stay in our house. -Greetings, Daniela.

My family of 5 came to stay here and it exceeding my expectations. The host was very friendly and made lots of recommendations. My favorite part of this house, was the large windows and all of the attention to detail they put into decorating the house. The house had all of the basics and was very minimal and clean. I loved having my coffee outside when the rain came in and watching all of the wildlife from the back deck. I would love to stay here again if we return to the area.

amazing house,quite spacious,as described. everything was clean. host was very nice and replied quickly. the garden was very nice and we saw numerous birds and other animals,more than in the forest,pity we didn't see monkeys but we heard them in the morning. supermarket and restaurants are nearby. would come back

Thank you Sara, for such an incredible comment. It makes us very happy to know that you liked everything in our house, and that nevertheless, you want to return. You are more then welcome for when you want to come back!

We had a excellent stay, especially the nice couch where you can look over the big garden thanks to the big windows. Ant it is nice to have your own round about in the garden:) The beds were comfy and nice to have two bath rooms. It is Monteverde climate, but we were here in the sunny days. Up the road is a supermarket and a few minutes walk more there is a coffee bar (Cappuccino or something). And we enjoyed the Sunset at Morphoś with a nice cocktail! Daniela was very helpful with tips, restaurants, etc. Apparently the last guests had some problems at night with a kind of banging noise. This was all fixed with our stay. Only thing you hear are the monkeys... In the garden we saw all kind of animals and birds (Toucans) The play garden is a little walk indeed. If you walk further down the road you have good opportunities to spot some birds.

Thank you very much Just, for such a nice comment. It makes us very happy to know that you liked everything with our house. It was a pleasure having you visit. You are more than welcome when you want to return to Monteverde.

I booked this place because I have 3 kids, and I thought the playground was in the backyard. From the pictures it looks that way. It’s not, the playground you have to walk about 10 mins (kid’s pace) or drive. That was a bummer. Also, whatever temp it is outside it will be inside. The first night was about 62 degrees and my infant (6 month old) who can’t sleep with a blanket for sleep safety was freezing. Also, a gate outside kept opening and banging shut with the wind, bamboo hitting the windows at night made it a little hard to sleep. Other than that, the house really is beautiful. Big windows, cool design. Beautiful backyard. The Vargas family was very responsive and kind. The house was squeaky clean.

Thank you for your review.  We apologize about the issues you had and are sorry that you did not let us know about them during your stay.  Guests satisfaction is our number one priority and we would have been more than happy to try and solve these inconveniences.   We have heaters that we could have provided if we had known this was a problem for you.  We also apologize if you were confused about the park location.  For future guests that are reading this, the park is about 300 meters from the house and it is a beautiful walk thru the forest on our property.  Also if you look at the drone shots of the house it is clear that the park is not in the back yard.   Thanks again for your review and we hope to see you in the future so we can hopefully give you a better experience.

We loved our stay! Very nice house in beautiful surroundings. We sam several animals. Daniela was very responsive. We did a great nighttour and zipline.

Thanks Marlies and your family for staying at out house ✨. You are more then welcome for when you want to come back, hope to see you soon. Greetings from Monteverde. 💗

My family had a lovely stay at the Natural Wonders house. There was lots of space, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything that we needed, and we loved being able to do laundry. There are no screens on the windows, but when it was warm, we opened the doors  and the cross breeze brought in lots of fresh air and cooled the place down. The fans also helped with air circulation. We saw hummingbirds/other local birds, capybara, coati, and butterflies through the windows and fell asleep to the sounds of crickets and other sounds of nature. While the location is a short drive to town, we did not walk because of the hills. There was a local grocery store, playground and some restaurants that we did walk to. Our host Daniella was very proactive reaching out with directions, options for our stay, etc. Thanks for everything!

Karen, thank you so much for making our house a part of your trip. I am very happy to know that you enjoyed your stay in Monteverde very much. You are welcome when you want to return to Monteverde, we are waiting for you! It was nice to meet you and your family ❤✨

I would stay here again. It felt like you are staying in a treehouse. We loved it here and could just relax. Lots of birds and the sounds of howler monkeys.

Thank you Alison for your great comment, and also for visiting our house, hope to have you visiting us again in a future ✨

This place is great. You can see so many birds without leaving the house. We spent a few mornings watching an Emerald Toucanet just outside the bedroom. The location feels nicely secluded even though you’re just down the road from shops and restaurants. The playground nearby was fun for our kids, and the butterfly garden is a short walk away too. Daniela is super responsive and my son said her pancakes were the best he had in Costa Rica.

Thank you very much Jeremy for such a nice comment for our houses and me. I will be happy to receive you again and make pancakes for your child! :D ✨

We really enjoyed our stay. The only downside is no closet or place to put clothes away. So if you’re staying for a few nights just need to aware.  Very clean and Daniela was wonderful.

We are happy to know that you enjoyed your stay at our house Laura. However, we are very grateful for your comment with constructive criticism, we will work to innovate so that next time it will be better. Greetings.

What a beautiful place! In real life, the house looks even more beautiful, the house has beautiful large windows and you feel surrounded by greenery/trees. Both bedrooms have a fan (no air conditioning, but we didn't need it). So many animals seen around the house; raccoon, hummingbird, toucan, and whitefaced monkeys. The center is a 5 minute drive away and the communal playground is about a 5 minute walk but was very nice for my children (2 and 4)! Extremely sweet family who were quick to reach. When the power fell off, someone came right away to fix it. Also picked up several mornings breakfast, wonderfully freshly prepared! Highly recommended!

Wat een prachtige plek! In het echt ziet de woning er nog zoveel mooier uit, de woning heeft prachtige grote ramen en je voelt je omringd door groen/bomen. Op beide slaapkamers bevindt zich een ventilator (geen airco, maar wij hebben die niet nodig gehad hebben). Zoveel dieren gezien rondom het huis; wasbeer, kolibrie, toekan en whitefaced monkeys. Het centrum is vijf minuten rijden en de gemeenschappelijke speelplaats is zo'n 5 minuten lopen maar was voor mijn kinderen (2 en 4) heel erg leuk! Ontzettend lieve familie die snel bereikbaar was. Toen de stroom er af viel kwam er meteen iemand kijken om het op te lossen. Ook meerdere ochtenden ontbijt gehaald, heerlijk vers bereid! Echt een méga aanrader!

Thank you very much Suzanne, for such a nice comment. We hope to have you visit our house again!

The photos of the Natural Wonders House don't do it justice. When you step inside, you'll feel like you're standing in the forest. There are huge windows everywhere to give you every possible view of the surrounding natural beauty. A parade of Monteverde's birds visited the trees just outside the windows. We also were lucky enough to see a coati, a pair of agouti that live nearby, and multiple visits by capuchin monkeys, all from inside the house. Inside, the woodwork is beautiful and unique, the beds are comfortable, and all of the amenities met or exceeded expectations. Daniela is a wonderful host, who provided excellent communication and offered useful local insight. This was an absolutely perfect place for our family to stay in Monteverde

Thank you very much Mark for such a nice comment, we are happy to know that our house exceeded all your expectations. We hope to have you visit again next time!

My friend and I had a wonderful stay at the Natural Wonders House. Communication with Daniela was great before we arrived and while we were there. We arrived before the check-in time and were allowed to leave our bags in the house while we explored the neighborhood. She also came over quickly to change some light bulbs that were out. The washer and dryer worked well and were easy to use. There are some restaurants nearby and a supermarket up the road which were convenient to walk to. Our favorite activity though was watching all of the birds and wildlife from the back porch. We saw coatis, agoutis, white-faced capuchin monkeys, and tons of birds. We only wished there were chairs that could be moved more easily around the back porch so we could enjoy the wildlife from all different vantange points on the porch, which wraps around the house. It is a beautiful house with a peaceful backyard and a wonderful host. We would definitely recommend staying here if you are in Monteverde.

Thank you very much Debbie and friend for the very positive comments. It makes us happy to know that you enjoyed your days in Monteverde very much, we hope to have you visit again.

Apartment was very spacious, surrounded by trees and plants, so you felt in the middle of the jungle. Particularly noteworthy is the terrace, here you get constant visits from animals and birds. There are some small free hikes right in the area. Is there a little oasis in this tourist area.

Wohnung war sehr geräumig, umgeben von Bäumen und Pflanzen, so dass man sich mitten im Urwald fühlte. Besonders zu erwähnen ist die Terrasse, hier bekommt man ständig Besuch von Tieren und Vögeln. Es gibt einige kleine kostenlose Wanderungen direkt in der Umgebung. Ist eine kleine Oase in diesem Touristengebiet.

Nette Leute. Vielen Dank für den Kommentar. Wir hoffen, Sie besuchen uns bald wieder!

We had a wonderful stay at Natural Wonders House. The bed we’re comfortable and house was very clean! The big windows at the back of the house are great for bird watching and seeing a few local visitors. Daniela welcomed us with a fresh loaf of banana bread, which was wonderful as we were hungry after our long drive! Pura Vida! Maureen

Thank you very much Maureen for such a nice comment, we are very happy to know that you liked and enjoyed your stay in our house. We hope to have you visit again, greetings. :D

The host was amazingly responsive & helpful. Amazing walking location to restaurants and trails. So much wildlife in the backyard. Great place for the cost! And the homemade banana bread was a super nice touch!

Thank you very much Beth for the comment, we are very happy to know that you liked everything in our house, always with the idea of ​​improving every day. We hope to have you visit again.

Nice house close to restaurants and shops within walking distance. House was clean and lots of space for our family of 4. We saw lots of birds and even a white face monkey in the trees. Highly recommended.

Thanks Thang for the comment. A real pleasure to have you staying in our house.

This place checked ALL the boxes: private, tranquil, equipped, walkable, lots of wildlife! You can walk to Cerro Plano and easy access to multiple restaurants and local grocery. The washer and dryer were especially convenient mid trip! We really enjoyed watching the backyard and saw agoutis, coatis, toucans, mot mots, and a whole troop of monkeys. WOW! Daniela was so responsive, greeted us personally and spoke English and Spanish. We took advantage of Abuelos Hangout and had a delicious breakfast! it was 100% worth every penny and delicious. We would stay here again.

Thank you very much Meg for the lovely comments, that honestly makes us very happy. You are lovely people! We hope to have you visit our house again. :D

Loved the house & location! Perfect mix of privacy and plants while also being super close to everything. Park nearby was a bonus for our son. Would definitely stay there again!

Thank you very much Valerie, for such a nice comment. And happy to know that your son had fun at our park. We hope to have you visit us again in the future. Greetings

A beautiful, very special house with a great garden to watch animals.  The kids loved it too. We would have liked to have stayed even longer and would come here again.

Ein wunderschönes, ganz besonderes Haus mit tollem Garten zum Tiere beobachten.  Die Kinder fanden es auch toll. Wir wären gerne noch länger geblieben und würden wieder hier herkommen.

Vielen Dank für diesen netten Kommentar, wir werden Sie bei Ihrer Rückkehr wieder in unserem Haus begrüßen. Grüße.

this is a beautiful cabin above near the centre of Monteverde. It is surrounded by nature. We really loved out stay there. We wished we could have stayed longer. Fantastic place for a great value.

Thank you Yvan for such a nice comment, you are welcome in our house for when you want to return.

We absolutely loved staying here! The location was wonderful and we saw a ton of birds and animals in the backyard! It was a 20 minute walk into town and right around the corner from the butterfly reserve. The host was very responsive and there was a fresh loaf of banana bread upon our arrival which was such a nice touch. Beds and pillows were comfortable and we all slept great! Perfect for families as we were traveling with my mom and our two-year-old. There’s a great restaurant that is a 10 minute walk down the road called Farm to Table Escondido. Go there to watch the sunset and eat a pizza! Overall, we had a great time and would highly recommend this place to stay.

Thank you very much Sophia, for such a nice comment about the house and Monteverde in general. We hope that when you return, you will visit us again. Greetings

Excellent location. One suggestion would be to provide lawn chairs to enjoy nature and the sun in backyard.

Thank you very much for the comments, and of course we will take it into account for our future clients. Greetings.

Daniela was amazing at responding and helping us out with making sure we had the right address. The house was amazing, we loved it, super clean and so many things nearby. There were 4 of us and we felt at home,  plenty of space. We would definitely stay there again if we ever come back to Costa Rica, the nature was amazing! The beds were so comfortable, hot water, bathrooms were great. I can't say it enough how great this place was and Daniela was very kind and sweet. It exceed our expectations!

Thank you very much Kilsis for your nice comment. Without a doubt, we would also receive them again, they are charming people, they will also leave the house very tidy. Thank you very much for your preference, we hope to see you again in the future.

Absolutely incredible!! We were stunned the minute we walked in the door, the views are amazing! The home is so charming, very comfortable and clean. Every direction you look, nature and beauty. We were able to see coatis, agoutis, monkeys, and all manner of birds, right from our yard. There is so much care and attention put into this home, you can tell this wonderful family truly cares about the property and their guests. The children's play area is huge, my three kids had an awesome time there. We are breakfast at Abuela's while the kids played. There are walking trails nearby, a market and restaurants within a 4 minute walk. Taxis were easily found right up the street. We have been travelling for the past 7 months, and we all agree this was our favourite AirBnB!

Thank you very much Peter for your nice comment. It was a pleasure to have you as visitors in our house, we hope to have you again. Regards.

Beautiful place, the pictures almost don’t do it justice. Very clean and gorgeous wood work. We loved staying here.

Nice peaceful location with well stocked kitchen and lots of space for a family of 4.  East to find and lots of recommendations from host. We would highly recommend.

The house was conveniently located to the town nearby. The description of the house was accurate although the pictures do it justice. We particularly loved the large windows. There were a few critters but that was to be expected being surrounded with so much flora. Daniela was responsive and extremely helpful when planning activities and answering all our questions at check in.

This was a lovely and comfortable place to stay. We enjoyed bird watching from the deck and through the huge windows in the living room and a beautiful double rainbow.

The house is very special full of light and personal touches. Beautiful woodwork in many details. Surrounded by beautiful nature. The Host, Daniela, was wonderful and very responsive to our questions. The house very clean and welcoming. The location is great.

A real gem in Santa Elena. We loved our stay. The house is on a quiet street, but very close to many good restaurants. The house actually looks better than in the pictures. The wooden furniture is gorgeous and the windows are so big, inviting the nature inside. We saw some wildlife while we were inside (aguti, squirrel cuckoo, mot mots, many other birds and butterflies). The place was very clean and Daniela was very helpful and quick to answer our messages. We definitely recommend the place).

Excellent , nice mountain house, very pleasant and comfortable

Top , chouette maison de montagne , très agréable et confortable

Beautiful, peaceful, wonderful host.  Responds immediately to any questions.  We loved our stay and were sad to leave.  Definitely recommend this place!!!  It is a 10 minute walk to town and the house is very cozy.

Great house! The pictures do not do justice to the beauty of the house! We were 2 couples with a small baby and everything was perfect with each our bathroom! The location is superb not too close to the city to hear motocross all night but just enough to walk into town! In addition, we had a welcome carrot bread and it was delicious! In short, a 10/10 on the house

Super maison ! Les photos ne rendent pas justice à la beauté de la maison ! Nous étions 2 couples avec un petit bébé et tout étais parfait avec chacun notre salle de bain ! L’emplacement est superbe pas trop proche de la ville pour entendre les motocross toutes la nuit mais juste assez pour aller en ville à pied ! De plus nous avons eu un petit pain au carotte de bienvenue et c’etais délicieux ! Bref un 10/10 sur la maison

The house is in an amazing nature, we enjoyed the garden and the animals that came to visit. We really enjoyed our stay The kitchen is mostly fully equipped. The house is suitable for 4 people. We were 5, we managed but more suitable for up to 4 persons . Thank you so much for your stay!!!

הבית נמצא בתוך טבע מדהים, נהננו מהגינה ומהחיות שבאו לבקר. נהננו מאוד מהשהות בבית. המטבח מאובזר  ברובו. הבית מתאים ל 4 אנשים. אנחנו היינו 5, הסתדרנו אבל מתאים יותר לעד 4 נפשות . תודה רבה על השהות!!!

I wish I could recommend this house, but I need to warn you. The house itself is excellent. Many nice details, well equipped, brilliant location. The host, who we met on check in and check out, is charming. But several days after check out he tries to get US $ 200 in damages for damages already apparent on check in. These are folds in the pages of a very old book in the "leave one, take one" library. And an old crack in the base of the coffee maker. Also we are accused of having left the house dirty. We cleaned everything before we left, stove, toilets, floor etc. We are travelling with two young kids and like to leave things tidy. So to be slapped with an extortionate claim after leaving makes me say: dont stay here, no matter how nice the house is. Wish it was different, as we are travelling in costa rica with the intention of settling and we would have liked to return here. But is has been a truly unsettling experience.

Unfortunately we were expecting this review. Our integrity and honesty can be verified in the hundreds of reviews we have for this and the other properties that we have. Extortion implies that you are being threatened in some way and we absolutely in no way ever did anything of the sort. It is true that we presented a claim for damages THRU Airbnb´s insurance coverage and it was Airbnb who asked the clients if they would be willing to pay, which they declined. Once we presented all the proofs to the claim it was settled in out favor. We are usually very lenient about minor accidents, and we don´t think that in this case anything was done intentionally, but the accumulation of minor incidents (damaged, broken or stained games, books, glasses, cooking utensils, towels, kitchen hardware) and the extra work to clean the house to the standards that our clients deserve made us decide to ask Airbnb to cover the expenses. Our intention was always to have Airbnb insurance pay the damages (which is what happened), not the guests . We are always available so we encourage future guests to let us know if they have any mishaps during their stay so that we can talk about it in a friendly manner and avoid misunderstandings like this one.

Great location, comfortable, beautiful backyard with lots of wildlife.

The location is fantastic and the house is so calming with the natural light and windows.   We had a very relaxing stay and would recommend it for anyone in the area.

Our host, Ernesto was so easy to reach if we had questions and came to meet us to check in on a huge rainstorm. The location was great for my family of 4 as we had a car. It was just far enough away from the main strip that we had peace and quiet. The backyard was stunning and we enjoyed eating breakfast outside and watching the hummingbirds and agoutis. The owners had baked a carrot cake for us to welcome us, which was a nice touch. Overall, this was a great stay

The Vargas family's accommodation is an insider tip. It was absolutely perfect. The location is beautiful. And although there is also a TV, you don't need it because the view from the huge windows is so beautiful. Ernesto is the perfect hosts. He is really quick to respond to any needs and is very friendly. The Kitchen is well equipped. We had no need to eat out at all because we loved staying at this place.

Die Unterkunft der Familie Vargas ist ein Geheimtipp. Es war absolut perfekt. Die Lage ist wunderschön. Und obwohl es auch einen Fernseher gibt, braucht man diesen nicht, weil die Aussicht aus den riesigen Fenstern so schön ist. Ernesto ist der perfekte Gastgeber. Er reagiert wirklich schnell auf alle Bedürfnisse und ist sehr freundlich. Die Küche ist gut eingerichtet. Wir hatten gar kein Bedürfnis auswärts essen zu gehen, weil wir so gerne in dieser Unterkunft waren.

We had such a wonderful stay at this beautifully crafted home. Very close to everything and also easy place to spend time at and relax.

Fantastic place to stay, unique design, quiet, serene. kitchen is a little bit limited if you're cooking for four but totally fine if you're going out. Wi-Fi was great. wildlife was very fun to watch.

Great house in a great quite location. We are a family of 4 and stayed here for 3 nights. All activities are within 5-20 minutes drive. Many great restaurants. Ernesto was very helpful and communicative and gave us great tips. Backyard is amazing. You’ll get to see a ton of wild life activities.

Absolutely loved our stay here. The panoramic view of the back yard from the living room and the bedroom was fantastic! The bathrooms were great, the internet was fast. We didnt really cooked, but it looked like the kitchen had everything you need. The location was very good too, close to the city and all the restaurants. Our host was very kind to let us check in earlier and even brought a cake as a welcome gift! I highly recommend this place!

We had to suddenly book this place after our original stay sprung several leaks in the ceiling during a downpour. I'd say we got lucky because the Vargas Family house was so much better! Ernesto was very helpful and they even had a carrot cake waiting for us on the counter. The backyard is like a private forest clearing where lots of animals gather throughout the day. We saw an Agouti, a long-tailed squirrel, and dozen different kinds of birds and butterflies. There's a giant window overlooking the yard with a big couch. We spent hours just watching the rain and wildlife. Also, highly recommend visiting the Ecological Sanctuary and banana plantation down the road. The walking tour is wonderful and they also have cooking classes!

Great, quiet location with a wonderful back yard.

This house is amazing, inside and out, great for people who want to soak in the beauty of the rainforest from the comfort of an airbnb. The furniture is stunning, and all the windows make this house unforgettable. Totally suggest this place for anyone whose visiting Monteverde!

A beautiful home in a secluded, yet close to town, location. Handmade furniture, homemade carrot cake, laundry, comfortable beds - it has it all. Close enough to walk to some restaurants or a quick drive to town.

We had the best time during our stay. Lots of wildlife to see from the backyard and such a gorgeous home! It’s within minutes of Monteverde, and just far enough off the beaten path so you have total privacy! The house itself is a bit further down than the “Dream Lodge” - just go past it and you will see the bright blue house just around the bend. Thanks again for the hospitality!

This was my be of the best places to watch the wildlife (birds and agoutis).  Rooms were comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped.  There were 4 of us (2 couples) and it was spacious for us all.  Having the laundry was an extra bonus!
