Bright Forest Retreat – 2BR w/ Balcony, Walk to Town, Birds & Wildlife

Welcome to our second-story eco-apartment in central Monteverde—a peaceful and inviting space designed for birders, nature lovers, families, and couples. Tucked among native trees and flowering plants that attract birds and wildlife, our home offers a rare combination of tranquility and walkable access to Monteverde’s best trails, shops, and restaurants.

Wake up to birdsong and morning mist as you sip coffee from your private balcony. You might spot toucans, monkeys, or even a curious coati passing by. In the evening, enjoy sunset colors over the canopy—a perfect end to a day of exploration.

What You’ll Love -
✔ 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment: one queen bed and one full bed—ideal for a family or two couples

✔ Fully equipped kitchen with essentials for home-cooked meals
✔ Hot water on demand and reliable 100 Mbps fiber-optic WiFi—great for remote work or streaming
✔ Safe, gated property with dedicated parking (no 4x4 needed)
✔ Bright, airy second-story unit with full access to shared gardens and small forest trail

Perfect Location in Monteverde -

A Note About Nature - Because you’re close to the forest, you may see harmless insects—part of the natural ecosystem here. We provide a clean, sanitized space between every stay and respect both guest comfort and the local environment. We also have essential oils and cotton if you want to rub across the window sill as this will help reduce mini-ants coming to visit. Even scorpions are not dangerous here, so we try to remember that they too serve an important purpose in our eco-system.

Your Stay, Your Way - We’re happy to offer personalized local tips—or give you complete privacy for a self-guided stay. Whether you’re traveling as a family or with friends, our home offers the perfect blend of comfort, calm, and connection to nature.

The host, Jorge, was gracious and his place was perfect for our family. We would stay again, if ever we come back to Monteverde.

The pictures appear to be for the 3rd floor and we stayed in the unit on the second floor. Accommodations were fine and the unit was well stocked. Did get to see the monkeys on the second afternoon. We stayed 2 nights and it served our needs.

Jorge and Miriam were very responsive , and we enjoyed our time there . We had a few visits from spider monkeys in the trees nearby . The trees also provided enough shade to keep the house from getting too hot and didn’t need AC. Thanks !

Very nice apartment. Friendly owner. Clean, nice balcony and in close proximity of the city of Monteverde and the Cloud Forest. Stella's Café just 100 m from the apart.. is a beautiful place for breakfast.

I had an amazing 5 night stay with Jorge and Myriam and could not be happier. There is a dedicated parking spot behind the gated entrance, and a pedestrian entrance if you are traveling without a car. I was able to telecommute and video conference easily, and you are walking distance to two cafes and coffee zhops. The fig tree is always full of birds, including visits from toucans, toucanets, and many more. There were also monkey visitors 3 days in a row and agoutis in the yard. I arrives late the first night due to a flight delay, but Jorge ensured I was able to find the place safely and gave incredible recommendations for nature activites in the area. The unit is on the second floor, giving a privileged view of the area and the tree line, and is accessible via a ramp with just one step, making it easy to bring in your things. The kitchen and unit is well equipped, and I could not have asked for anything more to make my stay feel like home. Cannot wait to visit again

It was the “wet” season and thunderstorms occurred most afternoons. It was delightful to sit on the balcony and play games and watch the storms. Easy access to restaurants in town and other activities.

We had a great time in this apartment. It is a 2 minute walk to Stella's and a local artist market. It was a short drive into Santa Elena and also the Biological Reserve. It was a great base for our adventures around Monteverde.

What a great spot for birding! We saw so many right off the balcony. We also saw capuchins, squirrels, and a coati. The apartment was clean and just as advertised. Wonderful spot, close to Monteverde, Curi Cancha, and Santa Elena. Hoping to return in another year!

Great location for visiting Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve (get there as early as you can... we stayed all day). We also loved walking the property this apartment is on and nearby Crandell Memorial Reserve. Sitting on the balcony was a treat in itself! We saw many Emerald Toucanets, a wood rail, a gorgeous Toucan, Turquoise-browed motmots, chachalacas, and so many others as well. Plus the monkeys! Walking in the Crandell Reserve, we saw Agouti and countless incredible birds. It's a treasure of a location. The shower and shower door need a bit of work, but we managed, and I was grateful to have a washer/dryer as this was the last stage of our time in Costa Rica. It was a bit warm, and would loved to have been able to shade from the sun at the kitchen window - because it made the apartment so warm. But once the sun dropped, it cooled off nicely. Hosts were sweet and helpful as could be. This place gets all the stars!

We had a very nice stay in this property. Just two minute walk to Stella’s which had excellent food. Place was clean and comfortable. It’s very dark there at night so do take flashlights. There is a magnificent tree in the back where you can see birds on a daily basis.

This was a good location, central to the areas we wanted to visit. Lots of birds and other wildlife seen from the deck. Groceries and restaurants close by. The roads are not for beginners.

This property was as advertised. The owners were very helpful and available. Cute, comfortable apartment with a great deck for birding. The grounds were a bit wild but it suited the environment. Walking distance to a little grocery store and restaurants. The forest reserve which was accessible by trails from the property was a bonus.

We loved the location. Stella's is fantastic for breakfast and the coop is great for a quick lunch and souvenir shopping, both a short walk down the hill from the property. The short road to the property is small and easy to miss, but is right next to Stella's. The cloud forest preserve is a short drive away, though there are other reserves very close to the location plus a waterfall. The property itself was nice, and we loved being able to open the large windows in the morning before heading out. The only downside is that we didn't stay longer to enjoy the area!

The location is perfect for visiting the nearby Reserves, and convenient to a couple of nice restaurants and a small grocery store. The temperature is perfect, and even refreshingly cool when it mists. And that was an experience...bright, direct sun with microscopic mist blowing through! As advertised, the apartment is compact with one bathroom, so you need to be comfortable with your traveling companions. Additionally, as noted in other reviews, this is the middle unit and you can definitely hear the upstairs neighbors walk and if there's children, its noticible. Bottom line, this is an inexpensive rental with basic amenities in a great location. If you enter with those expectations its a great value.

My family of four had a great stay here. The bedrooms were comfortable, the kitchen worked out great, and we loved being surrounded by all the trees and nature. Location was close to many parks, restaurants, and a small market. It was nice having the washer and dryer, especially after a downpour. The shower was a little tricky but we managed. Loved just hanging out on the deck, listening to nature and watching the sky. We would definitely stay again.

Appreciated the two bedrooms in the beautiful view. Feel secluded yet and easy walking distance to a Stellas Bakery and little grocery store named Whole Foods, but not associated with the American chain.

We enjoyed our stay. The condo was clean and we enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the birds and monkeys in the tree. The only down time was that we had the middle condo and the noise from the upper unit was very annoying at times.

Jorge was very welcoming and we loved staying here. We were able to walk to monteverde reserva from the apartment, and could walk to get breakfast and lunch at the various places in monteverde. Easy access to buses as well. We saw a toucan from the balcony our first morning!
