This was such a great place for our group - 13 people ranging from 3 months to 70. Everyone had their own space, but then could come together and hang out in the common cabin. The daily cleaning service was an unexpected bonus and most welcome! The host also recommended a great night hike (Roy) and a much needed laundry service (Sparkle Laundry). We had a very comfortable time here listening to the rain, watching the wildlife, and grabbing coffee at the amazing Stella's.

Absolutely LOVED our stay here! Felt right at home from the very beginning. Lovely setting. We were a party of 10, ages8-71 and everyone enjoyed this place. Plenty of room for kids to run around, even got in a whiffle ball game! Great location walkable to restaurants and shops. Ate at Stella’s every morning. Concereige was amazing in tour recommendations and setting everything up. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Saw lots of wildlife on property. Would definitely stay here again. In my top 10!

Our family and friends stayed at Yerbabuena Lodge for 4 days after a wedding in Costa Rica. It was a perfect way to wind down after the celebrations. The rooms are spacious and well equipped with coffee makings and a hammock. The gardens are beautiful, full of birds and anteaters and agoutis. It’s close to monteverde cloud forest park and other hiking and wildlife areas. It’s right next to a fantastic coffee shop and restaurant. Regina was very attentive. The communal kitchen and dining space was perfect for our group of 9 to hangout and eat meals. I highly recommend this great spot.

We had a marvelous time at Yerbabuena. The location was perfect. The property is beautiful and very peaceful. We had a group of 12, ages 7 to 80, and we were all comfortable. We loved the setup of the rooms being separate from the common areas. This setting allows for the early risers to socialize while the rest of the group enjoyed sleeping in. Everything is close by. Lots to do within a short walking distance. Breakfast at Stella’s is a must. It was very windy during our stay and we could hear the trees moving at night. It was great! I wished our stay had been longer. We’ll need to go back to enjoy more of this paradise. Curi Cancha was amazing! The tour guide (Roy) was the best guide we’ve ever met. He made the experience memorable. We did everything that Selvatura offers, it took us 6 hours to do the zip lines (13), suspended bridges (8), see the sloths and butterflies. Monteverde is beautiful, and this house was the perfect place to stay, rest and enjoy it all. Thank you!

This was our second time staying at Regina’s beautiful place in Monteverde and we can’t wait to come back! Communication was perfect with both Regina and her sons. They are all so kind and helpful. YerbaBuena is such a peaceful, quiet, private location and is also close walking distance to hikes, coffee, restaurants. The wildlife and natural beauty in this part of CR is so special. We also loved our hikes with Roy and Michael!

This space and set up was perfect for our large family group. Regina was very kind, knowledgeable, informative, and responsive. The gardens and ground area alone were so gorgeous and peaceful! We would highly recommend this spot to have a well experienced stay!

We had a wonderful stay at Yerbabuena. It was better than expected and a fantastic location, walkable to a grocery store, a few restaurants and multiple preserves.

Yerbabuena was in a great location (about 50 meters from Stella's Bakery) and the property was absolutely beautiful with lots of trees, wildlife and walking paths. It was a perfect spot for my family of 12. We saw several different birds, capuchins, and agouti (the kids loved it!). The bedroom areas are separate from the main living room / kitchen. Both areas were clean and well maintained. Would highly recommend the property.
