About this property

Canopy Wonders House: A Place Among Tree Tops!

The house has three rooms each with a Queen bed. Two of the bedrooms have private full bathrooms, while the third shares a full bathroom with the common area. The whole house has solar (electricity backed-up) heated hot water. Also a fully equipped kitchen, dinning area, washing machine/dryer and a common area with satellite TV and WiFi.

The house has wrap around balconies and is built on stilts that place it in the trees canopy and gives it a feeling and view like no other house. The interior of the house is furnished and decorated with unique handmade pieces tailored specifically for the house that make the place an attraction in itself.

It is located on a large property, there are other rental houses on the property but out of shouting distance to provide each with privacy. Just up the road from the property there are several restaurants, a small supermarket, art galleries and souvenir shops. Also in the area there are several attractions such as private reserves, a butterfly garden, night tours and others.

Interaction with Guests:

Our hostess will confirm your reservation, meet you for check in and help with any questions you might have about the house, the area, tour options, dining suggestions on anything else you might need. We will leave you to yourself once checked in but are available at any moment for any questions or help you may need.

Getting Around:

Most attractions offer transportation but there are also taxis on call or just up the road and a public bus that runs between Santa Elena and the Monteverde Reserve. If you are driving 4x4 is not required but is highly recommended not just for Monteverde but for Costa Rica in general (or at least a car with good ground clearance).

This property has two security cameras. One is outside facing the parking lot and the second one is also outside facing the back of the house.

Exceeded my expectations.

We were all thrilled with the accommodations. We felt like we were staying in a big treehouse-so close to nature and beautiful birds, monkeys and coatis. There were porches all around the home and windows galore. We can back to the home each night so that we could enjoy the beautiful space.Daniella was very communicative and helpful!We loved our stay.

Magical Stay

It is the most magical place we have ever stayed. The attention to detail is beyond anything I have seen in a rental property. Beyond the beauty, it was spotless and Daniela was an amazing hostess always communicative and ready to help. We absolutely loved our time there, wish we could have stayed longer, and can't wait to return!

Amazing property and great stay in Monteverde

Hidden Gem with All the Things!

We had a lovely stay in the Canopy Cabin! Our host was above and beyond with communication; thank you, Daniela! The cabin rooms with on-suite baths made for a perfect stay with the family. It had everything we needed for a relaxing stay and the property is located near some delicious restaurants.

Fun to watch the monkeys

The property is just outside of town. Would recommend a car to get around. It is a bit tricky to find after dark. The manager sent us detailed instructions to help and met us at the property to check in. Lots of monkeys to watch just outside on our decks. The furniture in the living room is a bit hard for sitting, but a great place to stay if you are looking for nature. Highly recommend.

Great Christmas!

We had a wonderful stay at Daniela's Canopy Wonders House! What a unique property nestled into the natural landscape...we were greeted in the mornings by monkeys, agoutis, and coatis amongst many tropical birds while sitting outside on the porches. The property is quiet but easily accessible to the Monteverde town center. Daniela is an excellent host, the house is impeccably clean with amazing wood work throughout. Do not miss a night tour or day time tour with George, your vacation will not be complete without it! We hope to come back to Monteverde again! Pura Vida!

Unique property

My family and I have stayed in a dozen or so VRBO homes over the past several years, and this one is easily the most unique and memorable. The house is up on stilts, with three essentially self-contained suites branching out from a central living room. The property has a treehouse theme, with rustic wood accents throughout the house--the doors, the lights, the balconies, the kitchen counters, and even the bathroom sinks. The living room, the kitchen, and all the bedrooms have floor-to-ceiling windows that face the forest. Wherever you may be standing from inside the home, you feel like you're perched in the trees. I've never seen anything like it. The price is a bargain for one of the most memorable houses you'll ever stay in. The host (Daniela) was extremely responsive and friendly as well. I cannot recommend it enough.

Great place and central location

The house was perfect. We had our two kids (3 & 5) and my dad with us and the three bedroom house was great. Well furnished, clean, and the host Daniela was amazing. The location took us a minute to find (Waze and Google Maps don’t have accurate directions) but Daniela gave us a video of the route showing where to turn. Once we found it, it was easy. It’s very close to many restaurants, has a playground across the street, and a short drive to any of the major attractions. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Maintained in Love

We were looking for a unique property in Monteverde and this checked the box! It was obvious from the furnishing of the property that the family that built and maintains the home and the surrounding area are passionate about the property. It was great!

Best VRBO I have ever stayed in.

Daniela was an excellent host. We had a nail in a tire and her father came to the rescue. The communication and support from the host was "second to none". The setting was in the middle of the rainforest with decks on every side of the house. Each time we went out we saw and heard birds and one time even had monkeys entertain us. The site was convenient to reach all of our excursions in the Monteverde area and there we a couple of excellent restaurants within walking distance. We could not have asked for a better stay.

You must stay in this treehouse

I can’t adequately describe how magical Canopy Wonders is. Located in the treetops of Monteverde, the artistry and craftsmanship of the house is incredible. Daniela was a wonderful host, made reservations for a private night hike for us, and provided recommendations for great restaurants in the area. You must order Abuela’s breakfast too. So Delicious. We would definitely stay here again and tell everyone we know.

Beautiful home, great stay

My family (two kids, ages 13 and 10) stayed here for two nights during our trip. The house is absolutely beautiful and so unique. We loved that all three bedrooms had massive windows and a wrap-around deck. Having my morning coffee on the deck while listening to the birds was a big highlight! The host, Daniela, was very responsive and reached out to me a month ahead of time to provide suggestions and tours. She was also quick to help me when we were struggling to find the house. Much appreciated! Overall, we had a very nice stay. The home and quiet surroundings made for a very unique experience!

Clean and great house

Nice house with beautiful trees all around. First day we were greeted by three coatis and an agouti. The location is convenient to get to Monteverde Cloud Forest. We went zip lining in Selvatura and it was amazing. I would highly recommend. Daniela the hostess was very nice and helpful.

Truly a Canopy of Wonders

What a unique place to stay. So much attention to detail with the custom woodwork and furniture. And the place was spotless when we arrived. Thrilling to be sitting 15-20 feet up in the trees - huge, expansive windows in every room, decks outside every room. Each bedroom has its own wing. The backyard birding and other creatures were abundant. 15-20 species of birds, coatis, agoudis, monkeys. And so close to everything around Santa Elena and Monteverde.

Beautiful house in the forest

My wife and I stayed here for two nights and everything was great! The house was set up very well and had everything we needed. Daniela the host was very friendly and a great communicator. She sent a guide to the area with several recommendations and even booked a night hike for us. The house was very private and secluded. I would highly recommend this place!
