In the Monteverde area there are 400 species of birds of the 850 species found in Costa Rica. We have spotted many mammals and butterflies on our property as well. A pair of Emerald green toucanets nested in our old century plant. The distinctive 'pong' sound of the bellbird can be heard nearby. So can the 'toledo' of the manakin. Richard can take you on walks down through the forest to our rushing mountain stream with small waterfalls. You may hear coyotes at night; several sizes of agoutis graze through our back garden.

Hummingbirds everywhere! Very secluded. Rushing mountain stream which is heavily wooded forms one of the boundaries of this property.

Great Place

4 of 5
Submitted: April 2, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
This rental is in a great location. We were in the cottage, and enjoyed its privacy and incredible view out to the Nicoya Peninsula. The bed and kitchen were very good with adequate space. All in all a great value. Richard was most helpful in orienting us and making suggestions for restaurants; and he arranged a Curi Concha tour for us with Adrien, who is an excellent guide. We saw a Quetzal and a lot of other exotic birds. Richard showed us the two waterfalls on the property and went out of his way to be helpful. For those of you who have never gone to Monteverde and are planning to drive yourselves, be ready for the extremely rough dirt roads into the area. However, you will eventually get used to this and will even become nostalgic about the remoteness of the place.

Fun in the Cloud forest

We really enjoyed our stay at the cloud forest cottage. It is very private and the view from the cottage is beautiful. The humming birds in front of the windows are amazing and beautiful to watch.
Richard was a great source of information about the local area. The cottage was very clean and the kitchen had everything we needed.
Would definitely return.

GREAT PLACE TO STAY!

5 of 5
Submitted: October 3, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
Spent five nights here with our two kids and the views from the sun room were amazing. We sat in there the first morning with our coffee and spotted a variety of birds, butterflies, and hummingbird moths within minutes. Every additional morning was spent in the sun room having coffee and taking in the view. We enjoyed having the kitchen to prepare our evening meals which we sat down for with a wonderful view of the hill side and gulf. Many hours were spent wandering the trails on the cottage grounds were we spotted a variety of birds including the Emerald Toucanet, Toucan, Manakin, and Motmot. Our care taker Richard was very knowledgeable of the area and pointed us in the right direction every time. He even took the time to take us on a night hike which was a great experience. Town is a short drive with a variety of restaurants, shops, and grocery stores that met our needs. Richard was AWESOME and very hospitable taking care of our every need and ensured we had everything we needed for a clean comfortable stay. I highly recommend staying at the Cloud Forest Cottage and WHEN we return we will be sure to check availability for another pleasant stay.
Additional info… all the sites we saw in the area was a short drive and the following attractions are all kid friendly and HIGHLY recommended. Our favorite hiking trails were located in in the Ciri Cancha Reserve (recommended by Richard and much better than the Monteverde Reserve) where we saw a variety of birds (to include a hummingbird area that was a great carry in lunch spot), capuchin monkeys, a pit viper, and agoutis. Selvatura Park had an amazing zip line tour and the canopy bridges trail system was amazing. Their humming bird garden is swarming with hundreds of hummers and even Coatis licking up the feeder drippings. And for any Geocaching enthusiasts… there are even a few caches to venture out and seek.

We stayed for 2 nights in the Rainbow House and couldn't have been happier with our stay. Richard was huge help with setting up a night walk/zip lining and suggesting restaurants worth checking out in the area. He was also nice enough to take us on a walking tour of his property which was truly enjoyable. The house itself was very clean and had all the necessary accessories we needed. If I make my way back to the area I will be staying here!

The view was to die for!

We spent two weeks in what we now call "our lil casita." If you want to truly experience this area, this is the place to stay. The house is very cozy and had everything we needed for an extended stay. We say more wildlife on the property than all of the parks we hiked combined. Richard is a great host and he took us on a night hike and spotted a three toed sloth! It's just far enough from town center to have some privacy, but close enough to stroll into town everyday. If we go back I know exactly where we'll be staying! Thanks again Richard! Bo & Cass Whiteside
