About this property

Wake Up with the Birds in Monteverde – Balcony, Views & Great Location

Perched on the third floor of a peaceful property in old Monteverde, this bright and airy two-bedroom apartment offers a serene escape among the trees. With cathedral ceilings, abundant natural light, and a private balcony overlooking the forest canopy, it’s the perfect spot to unwind after a day of adventure.

This eco-stylish home offers the charm of a treehouse with modern comforts—ideal for couples, small families, or friends traveling together.

Highlights include:

-Two comfortable bedrooms (one queen, one full)

-Private balcony to relax on after a day of exploring

-Regular visits from monkeys, toucans, hummingbirds, and other local wildlife

-Fully equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, and high-speed fiber-optic internet (100 Mbps)

-Cathedral ceilings and lots of natural light

-Thoughtfully renovated and professionally cleaned between each stay

Please note: This is a third-floor walk-up with stairs only. The elevated views and peaceful setting make it well worth the climb.

Unbeatable Location
Just 100 meters from the center of Monteverde and 3 km (1 1/2 miles) from Santa Elena, this apartment offers walkable access to the area’s most beloved cafes, artisan cooperatives, and nature reserves.

-Across the street from Stella’s Bakery, Café Monteverde, and CASEM women’s artisan collective

- Walking distance to Curicancha Reserve, Bajo del Tigre, and Monteverde Waterfall

-Also walkable to the Crandell Reserve (free entry)

- A short drive to the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve (3 km/ 1 1/2 miles)

Whether you're birdwatching from your balcony or exploring the nearby trails, you’ll find this home to be a comfortable and peaceful base for all your Monteverde adventures.

Sustainability & Local Impact
We are deeply committed to conservation and sustainable living. Over the past five years, we’ve planted more than 600 native trees and plants on the property and donate a portion of each stay to local climate action efforts through CorClima.

Guests are welcome to explore the shared yard, which features native plantings, fruit trees, a coffee field, and a newly added walking path.

Tap water is potable—there’s no need to purchase bottled water. We also encourage thoughtful water and energy use as part of our eco-conscious approach.

A Few Helpful Notes

-Please keep windows and doors closed when away, as monkeys have been known to sneak inside.

- Insects are a normal part of forest life here. They’re harmless and play an important role in the local ecosystem. During dry season, we recommend you use repellent as there are tiny mites (in leaf litter) that, although harmless, cause a mighty itch. We also recommend you shower after hikes.

-A house manual is provided with directions, WiFi codes, and local recommendations.

Looking for a Beach Stay Too?
If you're planning to visit other parts of Costa Rica, check out our other listing near Playa Ocotal in Guanacaste—just 35 minutes from Liberia International Airport and minutes from Playas del Coco. It's perfect for a warm, relaxing finish to your cloud forest adventure.

We look forward to welcoming you to Monteverde and helping you enjoy all the beauty and biodiversity this unique destination has to offer.

Beautiful nest in the trees!

This property was exactly as described and shown in photos. Lovely space indoors with capuchins, toucans, pizzotes, and agoutis seen outdoors from back balcony and front porch. Location is a short walk from a small commercial area that is very quiet after 6:00 PM. The hosts have a helpful information binder and also texted about a musical event.

Birders' first time in Monteverde

Fig Tree #3 was the PERFECT spot for our birding vacation in Costa Rica. Easily walk to Curi Cancha and a 5 minute drive to Monte Verde Biological Reserve. We enjoyed the toucanet and capuchins who were daily visitors outside our windows. Highly recommend.

Petit mais correct

Attention à l’arbre mort à la sortie de la clôture d’entrée. Il est situé dans les airs et nous avons cassé la vitre arrière de notre voiture. Erreur du conducteur mais il devrait être enlevé

Comfortable stay with wonderful balcony and views!

Great location and close to a couple nice restaurants and bakery. Nice to have washer and dryer as an option even though there was a limit to 1 load during our stay. Checkin was simple and clear. The condo was nicely decorated with adequate kitchen amenities provided for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed our time here and felt the price was very reasonable. We loved trying out the traditional coffee maker with the coffee that was provided as well!

About the host

Hosted by Jorge Torres

Host profile image
We love sharing the beauty of Monteverde with guests from around the world. Hosting allows us to connect with people who appreciate nature, tranquility, and a sense of place. When not tending to our rentals, we enjoy exploring the cloud forest and painting scenes inspired by the vibrant local wildlife and landscapes.

Why they chose this property

We chose this location because it offers rare access to both nature and convenience. The property is located just 100 meters from the center of Monteverde, yet feels tucked away and peaceful. With three hectares of land, including two-thirds protected forest, it sits within two biological corridors, making it a natural passage for wildlife like monkeys, coatis, and a variety of birds. It's a place where you can feel immersed in nature while still being close to everything.

What makes this property unique

Our apartment offers a true treetop experience, with elevated views, cathedral ceilings, and a private balcony that opens to the forest canopy. The space is designed to feel cozy yet bright, with natural light pouring in and wildlife often visible right outside. What sets it apart is the balance of privacy, thoughtful design, and direct connection to the surrounding ecosystem—guests often tell us they feel like they're staying in a peaceful forest retreat with all the comforts of home.
