2BR cabin in Monte Verde

Monteverde Views & Wildlife Retreat - Cabins for Rent in Monte Verde, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Our family of five had a lovely time at the rainbow House cabin. It was just what we were looking for as our home base to explore Monteverde. Toby was an amazing host who greeted us upon arrival and walked us around the property and shared with us about the area and his family history and local things to do. We loved seeing all the birds nearby and the kids had a blast on the vine swing. We would happily stay here again!

Accommodation in the middle of nature with a great view.

Logement au milieu de la nature avec une superbe vue.

we had an amazing stay, Toby was such generous host, arranged coffee and bread and gave valuable advice.

Ideal location to enjoy Monteverde and its nature. Very nice view of the Pacific, the forest, the sunsets... There are many animals (we saw more at the accommodation than in the nature parks)! For a short stay, the accommodation is perfect. Very responsive host if anything comes up! The only negative point is that the accommodation is a bit old and perhaps lacks a little maintenance to make this place even better!

Emplacement idéale pour profiter de monteverde et de sa nature. Très belle vue sur le pacifique, la forêt, les couchers de soleils… Présence de nombreux animaux (nous en avons observé plus au logement que dans les parcs naturels)! Pour un séjour court, le logement est parfait. Hôte très réactif en cas de problème ! Seul point négatif, le logement est un peu vétuste et manque peut être d’un peu d’entretien pour rendre cet endroit encore meilleur !

We saw more birds at Tobi’s place than any other reserve in Monteverde, the view is amazing and every sunset is a dream, rainbows during the morning, and lots of birds just looking thru the window.

We enjoyed our stay at Tobi's place. The instructions made it seem like "Rainbow house" would be clearly labeled and easy to find once we got on the gravel road up to the house, but it wasn't.  Not really a problem, just a heads up, once you turn onto the gravel road, just keep going straight, all the way to the top. There are no signs. The road is really not bad to drive; we didn't need to use the 4 wheel drive.  The house gets very hot around 3:00 because the sun just shines into the house, and there aren't blinds to shade it. No air conditioning, but it cools off at night though, so as long as you are out during the day you will be fine. We didn't see as much wildlife as we had hoped, but really enjoyed the view, especially of the sunset. It is a great location, just 4 minute drive to Monteverde and other tourist activities.  Tobi is so friendly and kind and really enjoys his home! Would definitely recommend staying here!

Very good stay; we felt at one with nature. You can see very beautiful sunsets, and the host is super friendly and very willing to help us at all times.

Muy buen hospedaje, nos sentíamos parte de la naturaleza, se logran ver muy bonitos atardeceres y el anfitrión súper agradable y muy dispuesto a ayudarnos en todo momento

Accommodation in the heart of nature, but it is truly very rustic. The facilities are outdated. We found this place to be expensive for the amenities offered. On the other hand, it is in a great location in the heart of nature. On the downside, we had to remove a scorpion from the room.

Logement en pleine nature mais qui est vraiment très rustique Les installations sont vieillotes Nous avons trouvé que ce logement était cher pour les équipements proposés Par contre il est bien placé en pleine nature Revers de la médaille nous avons dû enlever un scorpion de la chambre

Exotic and quiet stay. However, the beds lacked comfort.

séjour dépaysant et calme. Les lits manquaient de confort par contre.

Above all, Toby is a wonderful host. Spoke lovingly about his homeland and even took us on a tour into the woods. The cottage is cozy but basic. However, it is neat and clean. And fantastic views! Make sure you have a 4x4 vehicle; otherwise, getting to the cottage will be a challenge.

Boven alles is Toby een geweldige gastheer. Praat vol liefde over zijn geboortegrond en nam ons zelfs mee het bos in op een tour. Het huisje is gezellig maar basic. Wel netjes schoon. En een fantastisch uitzicht! Zorg wel voor een 4x4 auto anders is bij het huisje komen een uitdaging.

Beautiful place. The surroundings are amazing. The sunsets (when Cloud Forest cooperates) are gorgeous. It's a great place for birders! We heard a Three-wattled Bellbird (weird looking bird), saw hummingbirds galore, and so many other cool critters outside. It was funny, there were people pulled over on the side of the road to get not even as good a view as we got. Downsides were 2 main ones. It can be tricky to figure out the balance required to get hit water in the shower-if you turn the pressure on too high you lose the heat. Secondly, the room with the two twin beds needs new mattresses. I can't attest to the other room as I didn't sleep there, so I don't know. The two twins you could feel all the springs/coils so not ideal.

This was exactly what we were looking for.  We wanted a beautiful view in nature but close to the town. It slept 4 of us easily and I loved drinking coffee sitting in the front porch and watching the birds while hearing the monkeys in the trails next to us.  The rainbows were beautiful as well as the sunset.  Great place!

Incredible location with beautiful wildlife and morning rainbows!

We loved our stay at Tobi's.  The sunsets, ocean view and rainbow sightings were breathtaking.  We heard so many birds and saw a lot of wildlife right from the porch.  My daughter also loved the vine swing.  Tobi is such a kind and helpful host.  We'd love to come back one day!

Tobi is a gem and we really enjoyed our stay at the rainbow cabin. It was safe and we could walk to most places we wanted to go. We are fans of Monteverde, its diverse wildlife, and lovely people. As others have mentioned this cabin is atop a steep hill and one has to walk right by the Rainbow House to get to it. It’s a bit on the rustic side but worked well for us.

Tobi was kind and quick to answer our questions. Very nice and quiet  location.

We had a very nice visit in Tobi’s house which is located ideal for a visit in Monte Verde or Santa Elena - with Stella’s restaurant (fantastic breakfast!) right at the bottom of the road. The location is optimal and the surroundings are very nice - we had visits from hummingbirds, monkeys and other wild animals almost every day! 

The cabin itself is very basic and contains only very basic items. Beds and living room is fine, but the kitchen is only for very simple meals and the bathroom offered very limited hot water for baths.

An incredible view from an adorable house! The house was well equipped, clean, and very private feeling. Tobi was a fantastic communicator and even showed us interesting things around the property when we first got in. Highly recommend staying here, but be aware the road up is quite bumpy so you'll definitely need a 4 wheel drive car.  Definitely worth the extra effort though.

Tobi was very friendly and gave us a guide on what to do in Monteverde and restaurant recommendations.

Tobi muy amable y nos dio una guía sobre qué hacer en Monteverde y recomendaciones de restaurantes.

The Casita Arcoiris is a diamond in the rough! Wow! If you follow the end of a rainbow, you'll end up here, along with the charming fellow who owns the place. It's perched on one of the highest vantage points in Monteverde. The casita itself is rough around the edges. But the location is worth a million bucks. Monteverde can get cold and windy at night, but Toby has provided plenty of comfy blankets to snuggle up in, plus a space heater if you really need to warm your toes. The road up is steep and rocky with loose gravel. No 4x4 needed, nor high clearance, but you do need to be fearless and keep your speed up the last 100 meters. And your reward, one of the most spectacular views of the entire valley, the Gulf of Nicoya and beyond to the Pacifico. There are other views of this same scene around town, but none are as grand as here. Grab a cold Imperial, kick back on the front porch and let the warmth of the setting sun fill your soul. You're here, amigo, as it was meant to be.

We had an incredible stay at Tobi’s. It felt as though we had a private guide our entire stay. His knowledge of the history, flora, and fauna was incredible. He maintained our privacy while always being available. 

The location could have not been better. Very walkable to Santa Elena and lots to do in the nearby area as well. There’s a little jaunt up a hill that may not be passable for certain vehicles. 

All the amenities you would require. For the location being somewhat “off the beaten path,” I expected a hiccup in water pressure, or difficulties with maintaining the right temperature inside - but these were not issues at all - and we had an array of weather during our stay, from hot to cold. 

If you want the buzz of other people around you, don’t stay here. The buzz of flora and fauna? This is your place. Amazing birding and wildlife just outside the door. Our 7 year old was able to play out his Tarzan dreams swinging from ficus vines. We can’t say enough good things!!!!

This was an amazing place to stay for our family! Rainbows in the morning and local wildlife to watch outside the window. Tobi  was super responsive and very friendly! We enjoyed the hummingbirds all day long. Highly recommend Tobi’s space.

We really appreciated the peace, simplicity and proximity to nature in the Rainbowhouse. Hummingbirds, agoutis, monkeys and even toucans were seen around the house. Tobi was an excellent host, very straightforward and child-friendly. The access was actually a challenge without 4x4, but then it worked out well.

Wir haben die Ruhe, Einfachheit und Nähe zur Natur im Rainbowhouse sehr geschätzt. Kolibris, Agutis, Affen und sogar Tukane waren ums Haus herum zu sehen. Tobi war ein ausgezeichneter Gastgeber, sehr unkompliziert und kinderfreundlich. Die Zufahrt war ohne 4x4 tatsächlich eine Herausforderung, hat dann aber doch gut geklappt.

This place is amazing. It was great for wildlife; we saw coatis, agoutis, monkeys, and tons of birds. The flowers around the cabin are constantly visited by hummingbirds. The view was amazing, watched the sunset over the Nicoya peninsula every evening, and a rainbow every morning. Several people have commented on the steep driveway and said you need a 4x4. We did it easily without a 4x4, but still an SUV with high clearance. Just stay on the gas til you get to the top of the hill!

We loved this cabin on a beautiful large property. The view was amazing and near all the places we wanted to check out . Toby was a great host and answered questions and was very personable.

Amazing place with breathtaking views and an unforgettable nature experience. We even saw a black scorpion in the bedroom—which really shows how immersed in nature this place is. The sunsets were absolutely stunning. Peaceful, quiet, and surrounded by nature, yet still close to town and great spots nearby. The host was very kind, helpful, and responsive. Truly a special stay—we would happily come back and highly recommend it.

Beautiful view and quiet place! Tobi is very friendly and gave us some great tips about the area. Thank you

Vue magnifique et endroit tranquille! Tobi est très sympathique et nous a donné de bons conseils sur la région. Merci

This place has wonderful view and excellent hikes.

We had a wonderful stay! The host was incredibly helpful and responsive, always quick to answer questions and make sure everything went smoothly. The cabin itself is a bit rustic, but that’s part of the charm—and the view is absolutely epic and more than makes up for it. A great place to unplug and enjoy nature.

Perfect ! Toby is a great host with a real passion for tourism and nature !

Tobi was really responsive and helped book local zip line adventures. We were surprised to find the accommodation was in the small 2-bedroom cottage at the back of the main building, as the overhead photo does not make it clear which residence is the airbnb (eg, with an arrow to the small building at the back). The instant electric shower head had low pressure warm water as is characteristic for these kinds of showers. As described, it’s surrounded by nature and accessible by a 4x4.

Great host ! Communicates very well. 
A big cold during the night but with the big blankets we were comfortable:)
The house and the location is amazing. We saw sunset every evening. Very authentic place. I highly recommend it.

Lovely space with outstanding natural views and surroundings. The cabin is well kept and spacious with plenty of room to hang indoors or on the veranda overlooking the entire valley, all the way to the sea! Hummingbirds frequently buzzing around, and coatis and agoutis passing by at times. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking. The cabin sits on the top of the hill above Stella’s, CASEM, Cafe Monteverde coffee shop, and Whole Foods- which is a cool little area at the edge of town. Each spot has their own excellent food, coffee, gifts, and local artisan crafts. It’s the place to be for birders from all over the world and I was lucky to spot a toucan thanks to their help. Tobi is not only a responsive and gracious host, but is a generational local whom everyone knows. He provided excellent info, recommendations, and even an awesome driver for rides as needed. Having a car (4x4 is best) is definitely recommended. I was on foot and certainly got my exercise on the gorgeous hillside.

This is a great place to stay. Toby is a very welcoming host and he helped us throughout whether it was helping us get to the house or even giving us local recommendations. The drive up to the house is challenging and a 4x4 is a must !!

Beautiful garden and amazing sunset view. Amenities are very basic, it’s good enough for a short day.

It's an amazing place to stay, the cabin is perfectly equipped, my family and I had a great experience. Toby is a great host, attentive and warm, he helped us with everything we needed. The view is breathtaking and there are many trails nearby to walk, see nature and giant trees. Access is easy, and very safe. We'll be back without hesitation.

Es un alojamiento increíble, la cabaña está perfectamente equipada, mi familia y yo tuvimos una experiencia genial. Toby es un gran anfitrión, atento y cálido, nos ayudó en todo lo necesario. La vista es impresionante y hay muchos senderos cerca donde caminar, ver naturaleza y árboles gigantes. El acceso es fácil, y muy seguro. Regresaremos sin dudarlo.

This was a lovely place to stay. It was peaceful and had great views and wildlife just out the windows. Tobi was a wonderful host and gave great advice on what to do in Monteverde. His family's restaurant, Stella's, had great food and was right by the start of the driveway.

We were warmly welcomed by Tobi in his "cabin": perched on the edge of the forest. The accommodation is rustic, but there is everything you need to spend a few quiet days with 5 people on the edge of the primary forest. We saw animals (coatis, agoutis, hummingbirds) and we appreciated Tobi's recommendations for nearby activities.

nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis par Tobi dans sa "cabine": perchée en lisière de forêt. le logement est rustique, mais il y a tout ce qu'il faut pour passer quelques jours au calme à 5 personnes en lisière de forêt primaire. nous avons vu des animaux (coatis, agoutis, colibris) et nous avons apprécié les recommandations de Tobi pour des activités à proximité.

This rustic cabin has an amazingly view and wildlife that greets you at every corner.   My kids loved the tarzan swing, the agoutis, the toucans and the numerous butterflies and hummingbirds that we could watch from the front porch.  My husband and I loved the stunning sunsets, Toby's amazing recommendations (follow them... you will not be sorry), and the affordability of our stay in Monteverde.  Please note this cabin is the real Costa Rica experience (no AC or heat and testy hot water) and you will definitely need a 4x4 to make it up the drive way, that said I could not recommend it any more for a magical Monteverde getaway!

My family and I had a wonderful time at Rainbow Cabin. We booked this location because of the possibility of seeing wildlife and it didn’t disappoint! We saw toucans, butterflies, hummingbirds, motmot, agouti, coati, white faced monkeys and even the infamous bell bird!!!! I couldn’t ask for a better experience and Tobi was phenomenal. He met us upon our arrival and even let us check in early. He took us on a tour of the trails behind the property and over to the monteverde cheese factory. He was so helpful and assisted in booking some of our tours. And after we got rained on during our El Tirge hike he even offered to do our laundry which was way above and beyond anything I have ever experienced from a host. The cabin is a bit rustic but is exactly as described and represented in the photos. It was perfect for my family of 4 for 3 nights. Driveway is steep as others have described but it added to the adventure! Also don’t skip a stop at Stella’s Tobi’s families restaurant!

Tobi hosted our family of 5! The house inside had everything we needed to cook and sleep comfortably. THE OUTSIDE space was incredible. We had an ocean view of the Nicoya peninsula when it was clear, beautiful landscaping, frequent visits from wildlife, and quiet space to just be. Tobi was so sweet to our kids and spent time sharing about his land and we are so grateful for his time. He cares about his guests and the land. Thank you, Tobi for welcoming and sharing your space with us. We can’t wait to come back!!!

We loved our stay in Tobi's Rainbow House Cabin. Tobi helped us with everything, he gave us a little private tour in the surrounding and explained about the rainforest, Monteverde and the animals. We saw just in front of the apartment a lot of butterflies, hummingbirds and other birds, every day there are Agutis coming, sometimes the coati and one time monkeys visited us! As the way up the hill is quite steep you need definitively a car 4x4. The cabin house was nice for us with gwo children, it's easy to prepare food in the kitchen. And the sunsets are just magic. We can highly recommend this place and would love to come back once! Thanks Tobi!

We enjoyed our stay with the family. The host Tobi was really nice, he helped and assisted us a lot during our stay. The location is magical with a great view, lots of animals that were in front of our house. The house as such does the job but is a little rustic. It was good overall!

Nous avons apprécié notre séjour en famille. L'hôte Tobi était vraiment gentil, il nous a beaucoup aidé et assisté durant notre séjour. L'emplacement est féerique avec une vue magnifique, beaucoup d'animaux qui étaient devant chez nous. La maison en tant que telle fait l'affaire mais est un peu rustique. C'était bien dans l'ensemble !

A rustic cabin with beautiful views at the top of the mountain and surrounding trails to hike if desired.

We stayed at Tobi’s place for 2 nights. It’s on a steep hill with very rocky road so you must have a 4x4 especially in rainy season. Here are few things to keep in mind - water heater was electric so had to be run on low speed only to have hot water. Had to skip washing hair. There were no fans or ventilation. The cabin got very humid. We came back at night & all of our clothes (pajamas) that were left outside got very damp & so were the blankets/sheets. We are aware we came during rainy season but this was an unusual experience. The cabin is behind the main house so have to walk a few steps before climbing 7-8 steps. Bringing the luggage in was very difficult in dark with dragging it in mud & bringing it in rooms. Main house would have been more convenient. We are sharing this so you can be mindful if you are planning a stay in the cabin. Otherwise, Tobi was fantastic & easy to communicate with. Very prompt and informative. We wish the best. Pura Vida!

Tobi is the best. He arranges the tours for you and uses the best guides. His restaurant recommendations are great too. He is super caring and responsive. We had a wonderful time at his place and give him the highest recommendation!

What a gem above the clouds of Monteverde! Tobi and his family have created an amazing place to getaway and enjoy the mountains. There was so much wildlife and the accommodations were super comfortable and quiet. Tobi’s family’s restaurant is “Stella’s” (just down the mountain) and it is awesome as well. Tobi had excellent recommendations and connections. He is super helpful and friendly. My only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. Next time…!

Tobi was an amazing host, he picked us up on arrival and took us to our transport for the return. When we arrived, he even offered to drive us to the grocery store. Tobi booked all our activities and gave us an immersive experience. I'll go back there without any encouragement! Thanks for everything! 😁

Tobi était un hôte incroyable, il a été nous chercher à notre arrivée et nous porter à notre transport pour le retour. À notre arrivée, il nous a même offert de nous conduire à l'épicerie. Tobi a réservé tous nos activités et nous a offert une expérience immersive. J'y retournerai sans incitation! Merci pour tout ! 😁

It was wonderful to stay in such a beautiful place, super connected with nature, very grateful to Tobi, he is an exceptional person with a great love for his land, great honor to meet him. We leave very happy and blessed by the opportunity to share. Thank you 🙏🏼😊🌸

Fue maravilloso hospedarnos en un lugar tan bello, super conectado con la naturaleza, muy agradecidos con Tobi es una persona excepcional con un gran amor por su tierra, gran honor conocerlo. Nos vamos muy contentos y bendecidos por la oportunidad de compartir. Gracias 🙏🏼😊🌸

Tobi was an amazing host and the Rainbow House was a perfect location. Quiet and set back from the busyness of town, we loved being on the edge the cloud forest. The cabin had the necessities plus incredible views and wildlife. Everything was as described and Tobi was super responsive to every question and need.

If every Airbnb had a Tobi, the world would be a better place. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay in Monteverde. We enjoyed the tranquility of the property, watching the sunsets and the kids enjoyed swinging on the jungle vine! It is up a steep hill but Toni’s directions were great. Coming from living by a national park in Canada I struggled with having to pay fees every time we wanted a nature walk/hike. This can add up quickly for a family of four as every park or trail has their own fee system. It’s as shame as the cloud forest is such a beautiful landscape and I wish it were more freely accessible. We really enjoyed the night safari though, and got to see some really neat creatures including a sloth and bioluminescent scorpion.😍 I would recommend Rainbow House as a great place to stay to explore Monteverde.

Tobi was a fantastic host and a great resource.  He helped plan our activities and everything was perfect!

We had a great stay at Tobi’s house. The kids loved the jungle vine rope swing and the huge ficus tree next to the house. We saw an array of birds from the property including beautiful motmots. Tobi was super responsive and very helpful in organizing a night tour for us. You’ll need 4WD for the driveway.

Really cool location.  Wildlife literally at your door.

We loved our stay at Rainbow House Cabin! The property is located at the top of a hill with breathtaking views and incredible sunsets. With the forest nearby, vines to play Tarzan, and capuchin monkeys who come to eat bananas at the house in the morning, there is plenty of action for kids and adults! Tobi is a remarkable host. With his experience as a guide, he gave us excellent recommendations that met our needs in terms of self-guided tours, guided tours and restaurants. We highly recommend this listing for discovering the Monteverde area!

Nous avons adoré notre séjour au Rainbow House Cabin! La propriété est située tout au haut d'une colline avec vue imprenable et couchers de soleil incroyables. Avec la forêt à proximité, des lianes pour jouer à Tarzan, et les singes capucins qui viennent manger des bananes à la maison le matin, il y a beaucoup d'action pour les enfants et les adultes! Tobi est un hôte remarquable. Avec son expérience de guide, il nous a donné d'excellentes recommandations qui ont comblé nos besoins en termes de visites libres, visites guidées et restaurants. Nous recommandons fortement ce logement pour découvrir la région de Monteverde!

Tobi’s place had amazing views butted right up to the jungle. We saw white faced monkeys, toucans, mot mots, and other animals. It was a cabin, clearly defined in the description which made it very charming. Tobi was immediately  responsive with our agenda changes and even helped us park the car.

Tobi was an excellent host. Very responsive and helpful. Check in was a bit stressful on our end as we didn’t have phone service and were late arriving and felt terrible Tobi had to wait for us. The space is a rustic cabin feel, with basic amenities. The wildlife around the home was amazing. Our kids loved the outdoor trampoline and nature hikes from the property.  Beautiful views. Car highly recommended as the uphill walk is treacherous from the main road. We were comfortable and location was great and a close drive downtown. Would highly recommend! We loved our time here!

Tobi is a great host, very friendly, worm, welcoming. He helped us with planning the activities and making reservations for us. He had great stories to tell and great advices to give. The location is great and the territory around the house is amazingly beautiful. Thank you for a great time at wonderful your place.

The house is fantastic, in an idyllic setting, the views are simply unbeatable. Tobi showed us everything on arrival, including the jungle near the house full of trails.  Several animals have come to visit us daily, monkeys, coatis, agoutis, hummingbirds, toucans… we would definitely come back!

La casita es fantástica, en un entorno idílico, las vistas son sencillamente inmejorables. Tobi nos enseñó todo a la llegada, incluso nos enseñó la selva cercana a la casa llena de senderos.  Varios animales han venido a visitarnos a diario, monos, coati, agoutis, colibríes, tucanes… volveríamos sin dudarlo!

Great place. Tobi was really attentive and quick to respond and help us with any problems. House was quite loud at night but that wasn’t a huge problem. Would recommend this place.

So worth the price we paid! Tobi was really helpful in getting us a private night tour for a very good price. The drive up to the airbnb is rocky, but that’s consistent with the road quality in monteverde. The view from outside the airbnb was insane and we saw quite a few coati running back and forth at sunrise. There isn’t heating in the cabin so it gets cold in the morning and at night, but there’s an extra blanket for the bed if you need. The kitchen and shower were a bit lacking (kitchen had plastic cooking intensils and shower was thermal so you have to sacrifice water pressure for heat and constantly adjust) but you honestly can’t get better for the price!

First of all - Tobi is a phenomenal host.  Booked all of our excursions.  the weather was not ideal but at the end of our stay he took us to Curi Cancha Preserve since I had not seen a Quetzal.  and we saw a beauty within 30min.  He is also very friendly, extremely helpful (gave us a jump, did our laundry).  The Airbnb is rustic and has everything we needed.  Used the kitchen for most meals.   Since it rained a lot the noise was loud on the bedroom roofs but can't complain about the location, view and surroundings.  We did not have a 4x4 but made it with no issue, very bumpy, so be prepared.

We had a lovely stay! Tobi is a very welcoming host! He helped us find a guide and entrance to Monteverde Park when we got there at 9:30 p.m. the night before. The next day, he gave us a tour of his property with lots of explanations! We recommend it :)

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour ! Tobi est un hôte très accueillant ! Il nous a permis de trouver un guide et entrée pour le parc de Monteverde alors que nous nous y sommes pris à 21h30 la veille. Le lendemain, il nous a fait un tour de sa propriété avec pleins d'explications ! Nous recommandons :)

Great place to avoid the hustle of town. Tons of wildlife walked right by the house. The kids loved the white faced monkeys,  agoutis, coatisi, and toucans. Tobi was great and even showed us all around. One of our best highlights during our time in Costa Rica!

Great quiet place up the mountain. Very peaceful, I spent an afternoon watching humming birds by this place. Tobi is a great host!

Tobi is an awesome host. helped us with everything. booked places to visit and readily available for any help. beautiful property over all

Tobi is an amazing host. His place was perfect for me and my family. He has great recommendations, knows the community intimately, and is amazingly knowledgeable about the local wildlife. The views, trails, and birding from the yard are exquisite. Our 13-year old son said it was the best place he has ever visited. We will be back!

The surroundings of the cabin was amazing, nature at it's best. It was close to all our activities and restaurants. Tobi was such an amazing host, he took the time to welcome us when we arrived and showed us around. Tobi was also very helpful which we really appreciate.

It was amazing to be part of the nature in Tobi's apartment. Many friendly animals visited us at the porch during breakfast. Tobi is a very good host. He helped us a lot to book guides or attractions during our stay. I will never forget what he said when we realized the high humidity in that area: "Cloud forest is not a rain forest!" And he was right. 😀 Thank you!

Toby was extremely kind, friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our time at his place. The house is in a cloud forest and so the high humidity is to be expected. Overall a great time!

We were a group of 5 and stayed in the Rainbow cabine and it was absolutely perfect. Such a nice place with an incredible view. Lots of humming birds around and other wild animals. Viewed some incredible sunset too. Tobi was very welcoming and friendly, he recommended us different things to do around here and it was great. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you

Our stay at the Rainbow House started with a warm welcome by Tobi. The house is at the end of a private gravel road and is secluded away from the hustle and bustle of town. Great birding right from the balcony with the endemic Coppery-headed Emerald visiting the flowers. Trails leading from the property were a bonus.

Great place tgat ticked all our boxes for 3 nights so we could explore MV. Tobi was super welcoming and a great resource. Would highly recommend. 👌

Very pleasant stay at Tobi's place who welcomed us warmly and introduced us to his little corner of paradise. Beautiful views of the Pacific at sunset.

Très agréable séjour chez Tobi qui nous a accueillis chaleureusement et nous a présenté son petit coin de paradis. Vue magnifique sur le Pacifique au coucher du soleil.

A great simple cabin. Of course, you can't expect luxury at the price. The double bunk bed is dismantled and there are two single beds in one room, so slightly different than in the photo. View from the cabin is stunning. The proximity to the national park is great. Baby chair and bed available! Unfortunately, no mosquito nets on the windows or doors, that would be a clear recommendation.

Eine tolle einfache Hütte. Man darf bei dem Preis natürlich kein Luxus erwarten. Das Doppelstockbett ist abgebaut und es stehen zwei Einzelbetten in dem einen Zimmer, also etwas anders als auf dem Foto. Blick von der Hütte ist umwerfend. Die Nähe zum Nationalpark klasse. Babystuhl und -bett vorhanden! Leider keine Mückennetze an den Fenstern oder Türen, das wäre noch eine klare Empfehlung.

Fantastic stay in peaceful place surrounded by nature. I especially loved hummingbirds and butterflies and watching birds. Tobi was super helpful and knowledgeable and linked us up with a fabulous guide for a night walk and day walk which was so informative and amazing. Unforgettable. I also loved the cooperative women’s craft souvenir shop and monteverde coffee at bottom of his lane and we had lovely food at Stella’s

We did not follow exactly Tobi's directions, so we did not find the driveway immediately. But we were able to ask Stella's. Tobi is an excellent host, he welcomed us warmly and showed us everything. The cottage is large and the amenities simple but functional. On the second evening there was a thunderstorm and power outage, which is why we had to take a cold shower. Good for the defenses!🥶😂 You always have to expect that in Costa Rica. Tobi's recommendations for tours should definitely be accepted, especially the Nightwalk was a great experience! Tobi was always available immediately and helped with problems. Shortly before departure, we have 5(!)Toucans and plenty of hummingbirds in the shrub in front of the balcony. The view from there is breathtaking in the rainy season in the morning, unfortunately in the evening there was no sunset to see because there were too many clouds and rain. A very nice stay!

Wir haben uns nicht genau an die Wegbeschreibung von Tobi gehalten, deshalb haben wir die Einfahrt nicht sofort gefunden. Doch bei Stella‘s haben wir nachfragen können. Tobi ist ein hervorragender Gastgeber, er hat uns freundlich in Empfang genommen und alles gezeigt. Das Häuschen ist groß und die Ausstattung einfach, aber zweckmäßig. Am zweiten Abend gab es ein Gewitter und Stromausfall, weshalb wir kalt duschen mussten. Gut für die Abwehrkräfte!🥶😂 Damit muss man in Costa Rica immer rechnen. Tobi‘s Empfehlungen für Touren sollte man unbedingt annehmen, besonders der Nightwalk war ein tolles Erlebnis! Tobi war immer sofort erreichbar und hat bei Problemen geholfen. Kurz vor der Abreise haben wir 5(!)Tukane sehen können und jede Menge Kolibris im Strauch vor dem Balkon. Der Blick von dort ist in der Regenzeit am Morgen atemberaubend, abends gab es leider keinen Sonnenuntergang zu sehen, weil es zu viele Wolken und Regen gab. Ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt!

Peaceful place to stay with a lovely view from up high into the distant mountains and Pacific - and nice to be close enough, but far enough away from the touristy downtown. Trails right in the backyard to explore. Tobi is a great person to talk to and very responsive and helpful in booking activities. He knows the area probably better than anyone and everyone seems to know him. The place itself is somewhat rustic, but certainly sufficient. Glad we chose here to stay!

This is a great place to stay. View is magnificent. As it's located at the edge of the forest you can see great animals and birds just from the veranda (toucanettes, agoutis, opossum). Tobi made great recommendations for activities including a wonderful night walk. Tobi happily shares his knowledge of the history of Monteverde. Accommodation itself is basic but comfortable and had all we needed. Highly recommended if you want to avoid the busy town and experience Monteverde in a more quiet way.

If you want to get to know the spirit of Costa Rica and its nature, then the Rainbow House is for you. We felt like home and enjoyed the nature and surroundings very much. Tobi is an excellent host. Thank you so much, we'd come back anytime! 

Wenn du den Spirit von Costa Rica und seine Natur kennenlernen willst, dann ist das Regenbogenhaus das richtige für dich. Wir haben uns wie zu Hause gefühlt und die Natur und die Umgebung sehr genossen. Tobi ist ein ausgezeichneter Gastgeber. Vielen Dank, wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen! 

Tobi's cabin is a small gem! The climb (in SUV!) allows you to arrive in a remote, spacious, peaceful place, with a magnificent view and nature all around. Tobi is super welcoming and has great advice (former tour guide!). We may just regret not spending more time chatting with him and doing activities in Monteverde, as the area is so nice. We highly recommend this place for those who want to experience Monteverde, set back from the hustle and bustle of Santa Elena.

La cabine de Tobi est une petite pépite! La montée (en SUV!) permet d'arriver sur un endroit reculé, spacieux, paisible, avec une vue magnifique et la nature tout autour. Tobi est hyper accueillant et d'excellent conseil (ancien guide touristique!). Nous pouvons juste regretter de ne pas avoir passé plus de temps à discuter avec lui et faire des activités à Monteverde, tant le coin est sympa. Nous recommandons vivement ce logement pour ceux qui veulent découvrir Monteverde, en retrait de l'agitation de Santa Elena.

Tobi was very helpful with directions and booking a night tour for us.  The cabin is rustic and has an unbeatable view.

Wonderful Cabina, Tobi was such a warm host. Surrounded by nature

Herrliche Cabina, Tobi war ein so herzlicher Gastgeber. Umgeben von der Natur

Great space in the center of Monteverde.  Toby’s house, as described, is located at the top of unpaved road.  We arrived by taxi and Toby was so kind to bring his car and drive our luggage to the top the first day.  We love to hike so it wasn’t a problem for us to traverse the uphill and downhill climb during our stay.  If you aren’t up for getting your heart rate elevated I would highly recommend booking here only if you are traveling with a car.  The property has lots of wildlife around it and see saw white faced monkeys, hummingbirds, motmots and other various creatures.  Toby stopped by to check on us the morning of our departure and shared some local stories.  Thanks for a great stay!

Tobi was an awesome host! The location is great and he is really helpful.

Tobi’s house was beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The trails around the house were full of wildlife. Tobi was very friendly and helpful. He recommended great local activities. I highly recommend staying at the rainbow house!

Absolutely beautiful Airbnb to stay at. Peaceful trails all around the home and beautiful views and wildlife from the front porch. Tobi is extremely kind and helpful and goes out of his way to make sure you enjoy Monteverde. Tobi provided a wonderful Airbnb to stay at and helped us with planning things to do and gave wonderful recommendations.

Tobi has been lovely, smiling and considerate. His passion for local nature is overflowing and contagious. The cabana is perfect for resting in the middle of nature and enjoying the sunsets on the terrace and quiet dinners in the cool night. It is very well located in Monteverde to enjoy the local activities. Only the pathway is a little tricky but without major difficulty with 4x4 traction (ex: ASX 4WD type SUV). We would have stayed longer.

Tobi a été adorable, souriant et prévenant. Sa passion pour la nature du coin est débordante et contagieuse. La cabana est parfaite pour se reposer au milieu de la nature et profiter des couchers du soleil sur la terrasse et des diners tranquilles à la fraicheur nocturne. Elle est très bien situé à Monteverde pour profiter des activités du coin. Seul le chemin d accès est un peu délicat mais sans difficulté majeure avec une traction 4x4 (ex: SUV type ASX 4WD). On serait bien resté plus longtemps.

Toby is a fabulous host that showed us the forrest and wildlife near the house. He is well connected in the neighborhood and gives you the best addresses for your stay

very nice location, beautiful view, quiet but close to everything. Tobi kindly offered and booked us activities, thanks to him everything was simple and we saved time. in short , it was perfect.

très bel emplacement, vue magnifique, tranquille mais proche de tout. Tobi nous a gentiment proposé et réservé des activités, grâce à lui tout a été simple et nous avons gagné du temps. bref , c'était parfait.

thanks to Tobi we had a too nice trip. He was very helpful 🤗

gracias a Tobi tuvimos un viaje demasiado lindo. El nos ayudó mucho 🤗

This place Is awesome for nature lovers. Tobi Is a former guide And therefore provides very Handy information. We loved the stay. Recommended

What can we say, Tobi is a host that goes above and beyond for his guests.He ensured all our tours and transportation were taken care of. He's had years of experience touring groups and is a wealth of knowledge.  Tobi made us feel right at home. The views from the cabin were stunning.

We stayed here with our young family. It's a gorgous property and there was lots to look at and appreciate right on site. The cabin was cozy and had everything we needed. Tobi was a most excellent host, very responsive, and had so much knowledge and recommendations to share. The long driveway was a bit much for our little rental car but Tobi was extremely kind and drove us up and helped us down with his vehicle. We definitely recommend staying here!

I thank  tobi for his care and the time he spent with us.

Tobi is an excellent host, proactive and quick to respond to the needs of his guests. The house is a small rustic cabin, it's atop a hill, with a beautiful view, lots of nature around, starry skies at night ( if clear) and we loved the privacy. The space was suitable for our family of 5! (3 children included). There were beds for everyone and they were super comfortable, very clean sheets and extra blankets and towels. We liked the gas stove for cooking a simple breakfast in the mornings. The only consideration - as others have mentioned, is that you need a suitable vehicle to climb as far as the house is because the road is somewhat rough on a small stretch. This was not a problem for us because Tobi himself took us upstairs and even offered to lend us his vehicle to go up/down while we left our vehicle in a safe space below also owned by Tobi.

Tobi es un excelente anfitrión, proactivo y que responde rápidamente a las necesidades de sus huéspedes. La casa es una pequeña cabaña rústica, está en lo alto de una colina, con una vista preciosa, mucha naturaleza alrededor, cielos estrellados en la noche ( si está despejado) y nos encantó la privacidad. El espacio fue adecuado para nuestra familia de 5! (3 niños incluidos). Había camas para todos y eran súper cómodas, las sábanas muy limpias y además cobijas y toallas adicionales. Nos gustó la estufa de gas para cocinar un desayuno simple en las mañanas. La única consideración - cómo otros han mencionado, es que necesitas un vehículo adecuado para subir hasta donde está la casa porque el camino está algo accidentado en un pequeño tramo. Esto no representó un problema para nosotros porque el mismo Tobi nos llevó hasta arriba y hasta se ofreció a prestarnos su vehículo para subir/bajar mientras nosotros dejamos nuestro vehículo en un espacio seguro abajo también propiedad de Tobi.

We loved our stay at Toby’s place. He was so helpful and flexible. When I booked, our plan was to get there later in the evening but our plans changed and got there waaay sooner than expected. I asked him if we can move the check in time sooner and he said yes. Had it ready for us just a few hours later. He made our reservation and we didn’t have to pay until we got to the tour which was awesome because we have 2 toddlers and our plans change all the time. He also had coloring books and little things for the kids which was great.
