Wake up inside the cloud forest

Three architect-designed cabins for two, tucked into the forest above Santa Elena. Book them directly with us — same place, no platform fee.

In the forest, not beside it

Floor-to-ceiling glass opens straight onto the canopy, with trails and reserves a few minutes down the road.

Quiet, for two

Each cabin holds two guests and stands on its own, so what you hear at night is the forest.

No booking fee

Book with us directly and skip the service fee the big platforms add at checkout.

Magische accomodatie in Monteverde. De ruimte is prachtig gelegen met een waanzinnig uitzicht. Verder is de accomodatie groot en van alle gemakken voorzien. We werden verrast!

The Nest was an incredible experience. It’s a lot bigger than I expected. It was very clean and the bed was so comfortable. The area it is in is so beautiful. It’s just a few minutes from town . The walkway getting to the door is very very steep. But worth every step. It has been my favorite place we stayed in Costa Rica. On our last morning a family of monkeys were at the windows . Don’t think about it Just Book It!

It was a joy to stay at The Jay, we only wish we could have stayed longer! We had everything we needed and the instructions for all the amenities were clear and helpful. The view is incredible and you are surrounded by peace and jungle. The hosts are kind, helpful and responsive. 10/10 would recommend.

We voelden ons onmiddellijk thuis in het prachtige huisje. We hielden van de manier waarop het ingericht was en de kleine details die het extra speciaal maakten. Na een dagje nevelwoud is er niets zo fijn als een warm bad en een goede film op Netflix kijken vanuit je bed. De communicatie was perfect.

We had a great time at the Jay. The lodge was fantastic: very luxurious, clean and beyond our expectations. There even was a large screen and a beamer for a home cinema experience. And the bed was wonderfully comfortable.

The forest around you

Reserves and trails within half an hour

Monteverde’s reserves, hanging bridges and waterfalls are all close by. Roads here are steep and winding, so allow more time than the distance suggests.

  • Santa Elena5 min · 2.3 km

    The town itself — restaurants, supermarkets, banks and most tour offices.

  • Reserva Monteverde14 min · 6.9 km

    The famous cloud forest reserve. Go early — the trails are quietest and the wildlife most active before mid-morning.

  • Reserva Santa Elena11 min · 4.3 km

    Higher, wetter and far less crowded than the main reserve. On a clear day you can see Arenal volcano.

  • Reserva Curi-Cancha10 min · 4.6 km

    The best bet for spotting a quetzal, and calmer than the big reserves.

  • Selvatura Park10 min · 4 km

    Zip lines and hanging bridges through the canopy.

  • Sky Adventures5 min · 1.9 km

    Aerial tram, bridges and zip lines — the closest adventure park.

  • Cataratas El Tigre14 min · 7.2 km

    A long loop past several waterfalls. Steep in places — good shoes matter.

  • Bajo del Tigre9 min · 4.4 km

    Gentle trails in the Children’s Eternal Rainforest, and a good sunset spot.

  • Jardín de Mariposas8 min · 3.4 km

    Butterflies, frogs and insects up close — easy with kids.

Before you book

Questions we get asked

How do I get in when I arrive?

Before your arrival we send the exact location and the access instructions for your cabin, so you know where to go and how to get in.

How close are the reserves?

Santa Elena town is about five minutes down the road. Curi-Cancha is around twelve minutes, the Santa Elena reserve about twenty, and the Monteverde reserve roughly twenty-five.

How far is the airport?

San José (SJO) is roughly three hours by car and Liberia (LIR) about two and a half. We strongly recommend a car: the last stretch is mountain road, and public transport up here is limited.

Is there parking?

Yes, free parking on the property, for one vehicle per cabin. You don’t need to reserve it.

How cold does it get?

Monteverde is cool and often misty — usually 15–22 °C, cooler at night, and much fresher than the coast. Every cabin has a wood stove and heating, but bring a jacket and long trousers.

How does payment work?

You pay the full amount by card when you book, through Tilopay’s secure checkout. Your card details never reach us. You get a confirmation email as soon as the payment clears.

What if I need to cancel?

Write to us as early as you can. Cancellation terms are shown before you pay and are included in your confirmation email.

Hosted by Dandelion

We’re a small team based in Costa Rica, and we look after these cabins ourselves. Someone local is nearby, so if anything comes up during your stay there’s a real person to call — not a call centre.

  • Card payments handled by Tilopay — we never see your card details.
  • Written confirmation by email as soon as your payment clears.
  • A local team in Monteverde, not an overseas agency.

Booking direct keeps it simple

Same cabins, same team — without the extra service fee. Pick your dates and you’ll see the full price before you pay anything.
