Cottage vacation rentals in Monteverde

Quiet, between 30 and 50 min from activities (Arenal, warm waters, lazy tours, nights, etc.). The outdoor space made us happy day or evening, well sheltered from the rain. Jorge, the neighbor who took care of us (main communication, day-to-day questions, where/when/how to buy fruit) was great. It only communicates in Spanish, it is very generous. The house is large and the beds are comfortable. Air conditioning was working in bedrooms. The kitchen outside was really appreciated. Although we could not use it half of the time we were there, the pool was good, the sauna was not working during our stay. A rooster and several chickens came to our grounds for the kids to enjoy.

Wow! The house, property and view were all spectacular! Manu greeted us upon arrival and showed us around the property. Carolina was very helpful providing useful information about the area and local attractions. Check in and check out were very easy and clear instructions were provided for use of the amenities. The only regret is not booking a longer stay to explore the beautiful property. I highly recommend Linda Vista Green Soul and hope to return one day. ❤️

We had a great stay, and really enjoyed using the hot tub after long adventure days. The home had everything we needed. It was clean and comfortable.

Amanda’s place was wonderful! We stayed for two nights and really enjoyed our time there. My husband captured some amazing bird photos right from the terrace, and we even spotted three sloths in the trees. It’s a fantastic spot for bird lovers and an overall great place to stay. We also ordered breakfast in the morning—it was absolutely delicious. The only one downsize was that dogs barked in the night a little bit, but we didn’t mind it so much.

I spent two months in this beautiful house, and it was exactly what I was looking for. I could not have asked for more kind and generous hosts who helped me with anything I needed. Grisalda, Marcos, and Antonieta helped me feel right at home, and they felt like family by the time I left. The house is large and well ventilated, and surrounded by trees. It feels like you are in a treehouse. The view of the Gulf of Nicoya was something I enjoyed every day. Definitely note that, unless you mainly want to stay in the house and enjoy the peace and quiet and being in nature, you definitely will want to rent a car. Also, the house is guarded by the most lovely dog I've ever met, Marimba, or Mari for short. Her company was an unexpected and wonderful surprise. If you stay here, give her a scratch behind her ears and a chicharrone from me ❤️

It matches the description, the house has all the conveniences to enjoy as a family. We traveled with a baby and pets and did not have any problems.

Absolutely loved our stay! The property is stunning, with beautifully maintained grounds and breathtaking views of the volcano. Very private - no one else nearby. Our kids couldn’t get enough of the pool and jacuzzi—it was the perfect place to relax. The location is great too, just a quick and easy 15-minute drive into downtown. Kenneth was an exceptional host—super responsive and thoughtful, even leaving fresh coconuts in the fridge for us. We would definitely stay here again!

Quiet place, clean, the horse riding it's perfect, I recommend the place

This is a perfect little casita in the cutest of towns. It was quick and easy to walk into town and find groceries, watch local sports and even catch an annual fiesta! The house has everything you can possibly need and sits on a hill overlooking the area. Neal and Diane (along with sweet little Fanny and Albert) are amazing hosts. So kind and helpful with whatever you will need. Absolutely loved this space and would recommend to anyone!

House is on a dairy farm, cozy and comfortable. Kitchen is equipped with everything you need for cooking, thank you very much. You do need to buy your food before you go since it is a little remote. There is someone working in the middle of the night next to the house and that might bother you if you are a light sleeper. One of the bathroom does not have hot water at the time and it seems common that kitchen does not have hot water. We are ok since there is another bathroom has warm enough water for shower.

Loved our stay at Jessica’s place! It is a nature haven, surrounded by the sounds of birds and lush greenery. The outdoor area lets you enjoy the tranquil surroundings. The house was clean and very comfortable, even better than the pictures. Location is great, just 10 minutes from the downtown area and close to all the attractions. Jessica and her aunt Lorena were responsive and made our check-in easy, they shared great recommendations for dinner and drinks. Highly recommend for your stay in La Fortuna!

It is a very beautiful, quiet, organized and clean place. From the pool you can see the lake and the Arenal Volcano. We were also able to see animals such as sloths, toucans, among others. As for the food, we brought our food and had a fully-equipped kitchen to prepare it. By car it is easy to get there from Tilarán, but without a car there are only taxis, there is no Uber. It's a cozy place with a cool climate.

very peaceful place with a great pool

We loved our time here. there was a troop of howler monkeys that we could watch from the back porch. The trail to the river was steep but worth it for the tranquility and bird watching. it's outside of town just enough to feel remote while still being a short drive to all the activities that you would want to do near La Fortuna. Dinorah helped us out with recommendations and even dried out clothes in her dryer when the weather wouldn't cooperate.

Peaceful and cozy. The right price, we were looking for.

This place was very nice, clean, and spacious for our family of five. It had the most beautiful view any of us had ever seen which was one of the highlights of our trip. The property is very nice and private with a great pool area. The hosts were extremely nice and helpful whenever we needed anything. Highly recommend!

First of all, thank you to Angel for making his place available to travelers like this. Our amazing trip would not have been possible without people like you! This was a five star stay for our group of 6 (my husband and I, my sister, and our three friends). We personally were very happy but I am going to point out a few things for future travelers that affect your own stay. We had zero cell service at this house and the wifi was questionable at best. No biggie for us but others might care. Town was five minutes away and offered free wifi and good cell service. There were creepy crawlies from time to time. Spiders. Two scorpions. Cool to us, maybe not others. During our particular stay, the nights didn't get as cool as normal, no a/c left the house and rooms a bit hot to sleep in but we survived. Remember when using WAZE to find this place, you put in the airbnb house name to find it easily (Casa Morchella). We loved our stay. The birds. The coati. Paradise 💚

Villa 3 exceeded our expectations and was simply magical. The views took our breath away and the house had everything we needed. We opened the door to that view and didn’t want to leave. The bottle of wine and coffee in addition to deliciously comfortable beds, bedding, robes, propane grill, outside eating, outdoor shower, bathroom and infinity pool made us feel incredibly pampered. The view of the valley in the morning and at sunset are almost surreal and the star gazing memorizing from the master bedroom, the upstairs deck, the main deck, the side deck… We explored Monteverde all day and came Back late afternoon to enjoy this magical retreat. The house had everything we needed for 2 couples and we loved cooking in each night. We will recommend to friends and family and be back someday to this lovely retreat. Pura Vida!!

Jaw dropping property and surroundings. Lots of space and beds, our kids liked the foosball table. 5 minute drive from town so we liked having a car.

An incredible stay!! The views were amazing, the property itself has trails you can explore, home to many different wildlife, and the house itself was spotless. I would definitely stay again

Excellent location, equipped and clean for an excellent stay. The balcony is beautiful 💜

I’ve stayed in dozens of airbnb’s all over the world, and this house is easily one of my favorites. I wish I could take it with me haha. It’s super spacious, impeccably clean and it just has everything you could need. They thought of it all. You get solid Wi-Fi if you’re working remotely like me. Hot water in the faucets - that’s straight up luxury for Costa Rica. The outside yard is perfect to hang out and play in if you have kids. Centrally located for everything you could want to do in Monteverde. Angel is a super-host through and through. If it’s available, book it!

Pedro's house was absolutely perfect and really made our trip to Monteverde special. The house wasn't too difficult to find with his instructions and our 4x4. Everything looked exactly like the photos. Everything was in perfect working order - hot water, great water pressure, super clean, nice linens, comfortable bed, beautiful deck and view... we felt super comfortable here, and it was a stress-free stay! The location was amazing, because you really feel secluded in the cloud forest, but you are also just a 5 minute drive into town with all the restaurants & shops. Felt extremely safe. We actually changed our trip dates in order to stay here, and I'm so glad we did. Pedro also had awesome communication, and our experience could not have been better! We miss sitting on the back porch at night with a blanket, listening to the sounds of the forest. Would highly recommend this one!

This place was absolutely amazing. We are so glad we decided to stay here for a night. The entire stay was such a beautiful experience. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. The place was spotless and the deck and views were phenomenal. 11/10 recommend!
