Forest Garden House

Convenient location for Cloud Forest.

We enjoyed our stay and enjoyed how close it was to everything

We had a great 5-day stay at this house. It’s in a wonderful location. The house has a lot of space, and several amenities (parking, outdoor space, fully equipped kitchen, washer & dryer). The shower was amazing— hot and great water pressure, which can be rare in this area. Daniela was a kind and helpful host. She quickly responded when i accidentally set off the security alarm (twice!). We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent communication from host. This lovely cottage in the forest was quiet and peaceful. Very spacious and clean. Forest animals and lots of nice birds are entertaining. This is a family friendly facility. Very close to Monteverde Reserve & Curi-Cancha Reserve and other excellent places for hiking in the forest and seeing wildlife. It is adjacent to the Friends school and with in walking distance of famous Stella's bakery and cafe and the cheese factory. Everything was in good condition. Interesting use of beautiful tropical woods. A vehicle is recommended / 4x4 not necessary in the dry season. Supermarkets in Santa Elena, 10 minutes away well stocked . Wifi reliable and fast.

We stayed in January 2026. Communication with Daniela, our hostess was great! She was very responsive both before and during our stay and provided recommendations for local restaurants and grocery. She met us at the property and explained what we needed to know, and gave us a fresh loaf of banana bread! 5/5 for Daniela! The property is as described, very private and surrounded by nature. We saw a few agouti during our 3 days stay, but because Monteverde is cool and usually windy, we didn’t sit outside. The kitchen is very well equipped, even had a blender, and the washer and dryer were very nice amenities to have. We all found the beds warm and comfy. There is a Whole Foods and cafe (Stella’s, highly recommend!) within walking distance which was great. Also of note is that there is a walking path on the left side of the road that takes you all the way into town. The one thing I will mention is that the furniture in the living room, while beautiful, is not at all comfortable. The cushions fall through and we ended up sitting at the table anytime we were inside. Adding a comfortable couch would be a huge plus in my opinion.
