Spectacular

Our family stayed two nights here. The location was perfect for us...not in town, but not too remote. Minutes away from loads of attractions. Both the owner and property manager were very nice. Many recommendations and set up tours for us. Beautiful scenery, plenty of blankets and the cows were a plus!!

Fantastic place!

The house was just right for us: good conditions, next to the stable to watch the morning milking, and close to natural reserve trails, bridges, and canopy tours.

Great place to appreciate nature 's variety

A few days in the beautiful mountains of Monteverde where we enjoyed the calm of Gaudy's farm. Our girls really enjoyed it too. We had an incredible horseback ride witch Gaudy reserved for us and it was the best way to see the landscap in all of it's glory! Such a beautiful place!

River Casita Was Wonderful!

We actually stayed in a different house, River Casita, on the same property. It was wonderful! Such a beautiful location, clean and functional place to stay, and Gaudy is so great!

About the host

Hosted by Gaudy Picado

I was born in Monteverde as well as my parents and grand parents. Educated in the local Quaker school. I love Nature, living and working in our dairy farm as well as share it with our visitors. I travel often to special destinations. I am happy to give advise about things to do in Monteverde and beyond.

Why they chose this property

This is a true working farm in the middle of a once upon a time agricultural community now turned into a tourism destination. Therefore it offers a unique opportunity for the guest to experience it all.
