About this property

Casa Cielo: Bird’s Eye Views– proceeds support Sustainability Center

All proceeds from Casa Cielo fund the animal welfare, environmental and social welfare programs at the Sustainability Center. Casa Cielo is a breathtaking paradise with unmatched views of the forested mountains of Monteverde and is perfect for families or groups of friends. Enjoy exploring the private forest trails throughout our 2.5 hectare/6 acre property, and relax on the balcony to enjoy incredible sunsets over forest valley and the Gulf of Nicoya. Just minutes from Santa Elena and the Monteverde reserves, this cabin is the perfect home base for all of your ecotourism adventures in the cloud forest!

Casa Cielo is truly the most awe-inspiring home in Monteverde. This two-story (plus loft) A-frame cabin makes guests feel as if they are living in the sky. Hawks can often be seen soaring over the valley from the large picture windows running the length of the first floor. The sunrises and sunsets from the hammock on the upstairs balcony are an unforgettable experience. We provide you with free organic coffee from our farm in Monteverde for the first morning of your stay for you to settle in and enjoy the spectacular beauty of the surrounding forest.

Casa Cielo features a whirlpool bathtub on the second floor for two overlooking the valley forest views. With gorgeous hardwood floors throughout the cabin and plenty of spaces to relax, Casa Cielo is the ideal spot for a vacation in paradise. With a double bed and loft bed upstairs, plus a cozy futon, Casa Cielo easily sleeps 5 people. Both the downstairs bathroom and upstairs whirlpool bathtub have hot water, and there is a washing machine and double clothesline. You’ll enjoy the view while cooking in our fully-equipped kitchen, and the whole family will love sitting down for a meal at our custom-crafted dining table. Of if you’d rather relax, you can enjoy traditional Costa Rican meals cooked by our neighbors from the local community and delivered to you.

You’ll love relaxing on the couch or in the armchair in the living room, curling up with a book on the upstairs loveseat, or enjoying a sunset coffee or glass of wine in the balcony hammock. The views in Casa Cielo are unmatched no matter where you are in the cabin. The dining table looks out onto our forest preserve property, and further beyond into the valley and out to the Gulf of Nicoya. All of our guests love the upstairs balcony, which has a custom designed wrought iron railing– feel free to set up the hammock for some serious relaxing or take it down to do sunrise yoga.

Enjoy playing a game or reading from our library collection of children and adult books, Costa Rican guidebooks, and books about local flora and fauna. Sit down at the desk to write a story in our guestbook or look up activities in Monteverde with free Wifi. With over 2.5 hectares/6 acres of private forest to explore via our trails, you will have a great time exploring the famous cloud forests of Monteverde and seeing various plants and animals (including parrots, toucans, and monkeys).

You can enjoy the entire house, private parking space, and the private 2.5 hectare/6 acre lush forest property that surrounds Casa Cielo. There is a private gated entrance and short flat trail leading to Casa Cielo.

We provide guests with the option of ordering homemade meals that are delivered straight to your doorstep! Please arrange with us ahead of time if you would like meals (breakfasts, lunches, and/or dinners) prepared throughout your stay.

About the host

Hosted by Veronica Sheehan

Host profile image


Veronica was born in Mexico and spent 25 years in the States. She worked as a biologist, then as a licensed clinical social worker in various settings including private practice with people suffering from chronic physical illnesses and hospice care. She arrived in Monteverde a few years ago with her 5 year old son, Stuart. She founded PAWS costarica (Promotion of Animal Wellbeing Society), a non-profit organization to help educate people regarding the responsible and compassionate treatment of animals. She believes in changing the world from the inside (OUR inside) out. Everything we do, our choices and lifestyles sum up to our current state of affairs
 we have the power to choose again so we can heal ourselves, our planet and all living beings.

Her work within the ecotourism business, the Sustainability Center of Costa Rica, her experimental farm El Encanto, helps visitors understand the intimate connection that we have to the land. The entire community gets to benefit from the tourism that comes to this very rural area and get to share their own wisdom. Everyone wins.
Stuart is her son and is attending university in Costa Rica. He manages the reservations and speaks English and Spanish, so feel free to reach out to him if you have any questions.

Our dream is to achieve sustainability in harmony with nature

Why they chose this property

It is a jewel in the middle of a 5 acre private paradise nature preserve!

What makes this property unique

We love the peace and quiet, the sounds of the parrots flying overhead, and of the birds on the trees. We like having lots of space to roam and to plant things. Our animals are happy here too and we enjoy seeing them free and happy. We enjoy eating what we grow. We feel in harmony with nature. We are close to everything, but when we are home we have our privacy and space. There is enough peace that you can relax, renew and reconnect. Being here reminds one of who we truly are and why we are here.
