Surrounded by the forest the house is set off the ground and has huge windows to give it spectacular views of the forest canopy and Nicoya Gulf. Big rooms and Queen size beds provide comfort, plus all the essentials and more are provided. The house is large enough for a family but also perfect for a couples romantic get-away. Located close to town but extremely private it is ideal as a base to enjoy all of Monteverdes attractions and is an attraction in itself that provides the peace to rest after a full day of activities.
As mentioned the house is located on a large property, there are other rent houses on the property but out of shouting distance to provide each with privacy. Just up the road from the property there are several restaurants, a couple small supermarkets, art galleries and souvenir shops. Also in the area there are several attractions such as private reserves, a butterfly garden, night tours and others.
The space
The house is located on a 27 acre property which guests can explore as they wish, providing them the opportunity to see lots of the local flora and fauna without having to book a tour or drive anywhere.

Other things to note
As a note the sofa bed lacks privacy because it is located in the living area but not comfort since it has a double bed mattress on it.
