The hosts communicated in a timely fashion and gave us detailed instructions and photos to find their home in Monteverde. In this area, there are no street signs or house numbers so their notes made it easy to find. The home was clean and well equipped for our stay. It is very convenient to use as a base for hiking and bird-watching in the Monteverde Cloud Forest and Curi Cancha reserves.

This place was peaceful and we felt just like we were staying in the jungle because the bedrooms have these panoramic glass windows. The owners were available for any questions and left guides for Lit’s if adventures. We wound up zip lining and it was AMAZING experience for the kids. We also hiked through the cloud forest and ate at their little cafe. We had such a good time! We saw Monkeys and hummingbirds while cooking dinner and enjoyed the most beautiful sunsets right from our back porch while we ate dinner. The place was just perfect! They had cute bedtime stories for us to read to the kids and anyways, we just loved our experience at this home. I would come back for sure!

Bright Forest Retreat provided us a great place to stay in Monteverde. Close to everything Monteverde has to offer. We stayed in the 2nd level unit which had great views and a rustic cabin like feel. Shortly after we arrived we saw a monkey high in the trees just outside the front door. Everything worked well but I would caution the use of the safe. Probably my error but I did get locked out and had to contact the host for assistance to get it open. I would stay again in the future.

Great 3 days
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 !

Incredible Nature Retreat, Great for Telework
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

Birdwatching extraordinaire!
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!

An amazing location!
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.

Great rainforest location
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.
