Overall a very nice place tucked in the woods. The owner was very gracious and the cabin was very clean. The bed, however, was extremely hard and I had pretty bad back pain due to the bed the next morning.

A great little cabana nestled in the trees, away from the busy scene of nearby Santa Elena. Warm, and welcoming this friendly family run business feels like you are in the cloud forest. Large, expansive windows overlook the forest and winding paths, while still retaining privacy. It is located just a block away from a great sunset viewing spot, small grocery and gas station so while once you are in the cabana you feel remote, there are easy conveniences within walking distance. You can hear the main road while on the grounds, but all the different bird calls help push that into the background. It's also located within minutes to the Santa Elena downtown, as well as the reserves/parks. The family made great recommendations for things to do, especially noting things our young son would enjoy. Get the fresh fruit bowl for breakfast! We had a great time and would definitely stay here again.

You can’t beat the location of this property, and it has so much potential to be a stellar lodging experience. But the amenities were sparse at best. Maximum occupancy was listed as nine, and we only had five. But there wasn’t enough seating for us all to sit in a common area together unless we were at the dining table. The pull-out couches were uncomfortable for seating and there were no sheets for them, only blankets and pillows. The extra mattress that was tucked behind one of the couches was so uncomfortable and noisy every time the sleeper moved. And again, no sheets. The kitchen didn’t even have a cooktop. It had a coffee maker, rice cooker, microwave, and electric griddle that the plug couldn’t stay connected to. Overall, you can’t beat the views and the amazing experience of being literally in the jungle and swinging in a hammock while watching the birds and other wildlife. But the amenities of this particular cabana need a serious upgrade.

Tracy was very helpful. The cabin was very cute and private

Buen trato de los responsibles de la propiedad

A jewel in Monteverde…. Cozy cabins in the forest with plenty of natural light and gorgeous views. Conveniently located near S Elena, Monteverde and Eternal children parks. Tracy and her family are a real treat, pura vida

Tracy and her family were amazing. So pleasant and friendly. Cabin was secluded and tucked away in the jungle, it was awesome. Breakfast was included and delicious. Would stay again for sure.

In general, Cabañas la Montaña was a great place to stay! HOWEVER…. The description on Hotels.com clearly states TWO BEDROOMS. There are definitely NOT two bedrooms!!! There is big room upstairs with 2 queen beds and a sleeper sofa, and a big living /kitchen room downstairs with double and single sleeper sofas. The two areas are connected by an open stairwell, so there is zero privacy between the two areas— great if you are one big family or communal group expecting to share all aspects of living spaces. NOT so good if you are two separate families expecting a private space from the others. The cabin itself is gorgeous with floor to ceiling windows and fabulous forest views. You’d never guess there are three other cabins nearby. The queen beds were ok comfortable, nothing special whatsoever, but certainly adequate. The sleeper sofas… not so much. I would definitely recommend that the kids in your group get these! They’re well-used but ok. No heating or a/c and the hot water is AT BEST mildly lukewarm. We didn’t cook but the kitchen equipment looked adequate. BREAKFAST WAS OUTSTANDING!!! Both the service and the food were the best we had over our whole vacation. If I had been looking for a rustic but beautiful experience, I would give this place a standing ovation. I just feel that the description on the booking site wasn’t accurate where we needed it to be.

Tracy and her family are great hosts and took care of everything we needed; breakfast was great. But, I think reviews should be clear about what the cabins are, which is a small step above camping. The cabin itself is nice enough, cozy, but unfortunately it is not completely sealed and in the middle of a rainforest. There were many bugs in our room, in the bed, the bathroom and everywhere in between. There was no hot water and no ac/climate control, so it gets very stale. Overall the stay was not bad, but we were expecting accommodations closer to a hotel. The constant presence of bugs grew to be pretty disconcerting after two nights. Just want to make sure others are aware before booking

The chalet was nestled in nature with window everywhere so it felt as if we were outside! A delicious breakfast was made daily by our wonderful host and they provided great restaurant referrals for our other meals! We saw fireflies and toucans!!

clean room & bathroom, off the main road but not far from town and AMAZING breakfasts. If you stay somewhere else you are either over-paying or sacrificing your experience.

We loved our stay here, it was so hard to leave! Beautiful hand crafted wooden cabanas, with lots of privacy, feels fully immersed in nature. Simple amenities but all clean and well working. Perfect for if you want to feel in touch with nature. Wonderful location, close to everything in Monteverde. A local family built & run business. They cook you a huge breakfast every morning at the time of your choosing. Bonus for us, the family had recently rescued a puppy from the streets, (it just wanders around the grounds) so we got to play and cuddle with it every day. We have endless compliments for this place, would definitely recommend and go back at a heartbeat.

I liked the cabin the owners are super friendly the area is nice cabins are kind of hidden but good experience I just think the price is too much for what it is

The cutest place in Monteverde. Close to the center of town. Tracy, was a super host, always so attentive to our needs. The surroning area of the hotel was so beautiful. The rooms so cozy. And the breakfast was plenty and deliciuos!

The owner hosts were excellent and personal; they make sure your wishes are addressed and fulfilled as much as possible, and not just at breakfast time. A customized breakfast is cooked just the way you want! The cabins are designed in such a way that you don't see your neighbors at all. You feel like you are in the middle of a forest, not within a town.

Great cozy spot just a bit outside of the city Center. Recommended to spend time with family surrounded by nature. Complimentary breakfast was great and home tasting.

ute cabins in the woods a short way from center of town. The owners are incredibly nice and accommodating. Great Tico breakfast.

The house is amazing! And big! We really sleep under the forest. The service was very good, attencious and provide good information about the activities near the house.

Very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast costa rican style and lovely
