Perfect Monteverde

We loved our stay. Close to Monteverde for lots of outings. It only takes about 15 min to drive. We enjoyed our walks with Bella the Shepard through the coffee fields and listening to Coco the blue and gold macaw call for her back. Ken was great and always available if we needed anything. We would definitely stay here again!

The coffee plantation

We enjoyed our stay here. It was close enough to Santa Elana for a day trip. The scenery here was beautiful. The roads were very good and mostly paved and the drive up was also beautiful! The kitchen had everything one could need we cooked several meals and we were gifted with a bag of fresh coffee from the plantation owner!

Beautiful, relaxing space in the rainforest

The place was wonderful. Ken is so great and accommodating. He offered tips for activities, did our laundry, and his sister in law cooked us 2 delicious meals. The place itself and the property were wonderful. It is a bit farther from town, so keep this in mind depending on your plans, but we loved it!

Great place to explore Monteverde

We received a very welcoming from Ken and his son Juan Diego. Juan was very helpful for connecting us to make visiting Monteverde easier. And we loved Bella and Coco. The house could use little more lighting some lightbulbs are burn out, location is great not too far from town. .

Wonderful hidden gem

We stayed here the last 2 nights of our weeklong trip to Costa Rica. After being in resorts for the first part of our week, it was so lovely to be in this quiet little VRBO. And the owner's dog, Bella, was a highlight! She followed us around on all our walks, escorted us to dinner, laid at our feet and then walked us home, and was just a wonderful companion!

Monteverde coffee plantation

We ( 3 adults and 2 8-yr olds) recently spent several nights in this wonderful house. The house was open, spacious and had room for all. We enjoyed walking around on the grounds and observing all the birds and butterflies. My granddaughter's had many grand adventures following Bella the dog around the property. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay near Monteverde!

Private get away in mountain

Ken (the owner) was so easy to work with….communication was excellent. Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay….walking the plantations with his dog Bella, and sightseeing at El Tigre and into Monterverde town to eat at restaurants. The only complaint was the potholes in the mountain roads. Crazy driving in the mountains vs. beach areas. It was worth the trip though.

Great experience

We had a great stay at this property in the guest house. The host and his family were extremely accommodating, especially during the holiday season. Exploring the farm was interesting and will give you a new appreciation for coffee if it's part of your morning routine. The house was well set up and easily accommodated our family of 6. This is a good staging area for your adventures in the area.

Recommend

Owner stays on the property, in a different house and is very helpful. We stayed at 5 different properties at various locations in Costa Rica during this trip. I'd have to say this one is the best in terms on comfort, since he's an American, made sure the guests have all the comforts and convenience from our perspective.

Soulful says it all

Comfortable, casual and beautiful mountain home with lovable resident dog, cool air even at the hottest time of year, nearby walks, lime tree, lovely evenings on the porch and near to Monteverde Cloud Forest (20 - 30 mins). Adventurous road but easily doable in our rear-wheel drive bus. Highly recommend for travelers seeking an historic home authentic to old Costa Rica.

Remote, quiet and friendly host

Our family enjoyed our stay and found it peaceful. The host was really helpful and his instructions to find the place were perfect. It is about 20 minutes drive from Santa Elena and most attractions in the area. It was great being on a coffee farm as we had learnt about coffee production in Arenal before going to Monteverde. One of our group likes a dishwasher (there isn’t one) but the rest of us don’t mind handwashing. Most places we stayed in Costa Rica had no dishwasher. There were 2 bathrooms and most of us preferred the master bedroom bathroom as it was nicer.

Family of six adults in August

We had a great experience at Kenneth's place. He gave us great information in regards where to go in Monteverde. His farm was filled with the sounds of the forest. Greeted by parrots stopping by every morning was such fun. His pet Blue and Gold parrot was fun to talk to as we missed ours from home. Kenneth was great to chat with, we really enjoyed the conversation with a local. We came to find out we have many commonalities. It was comforting to know he was there, if he were needed. We would return and reccomend it highly.
