About this property

STAR HOUSE MONTEVERDE-Relax and enjoy a place in the mountains

It's a two bedroom house with queen size bed, double bed and there is an inflatable queen size mattress if needed. There is a bathroom, living room, dinning room, kitchen and laundry room. All rooms are equiped and ready to use.
You can have access to satellite tv and internet use in the house. All windows on the back side of the house have a mountain view, so since you wake up and until night, you can take a look out the window or go out on the porch to enjoy the beautiful nature view.
The house name comes from a special characteristic that the main bedroom has, there is a star shape on the ceiling of the bedroom. The other different thing the house has, is a dimond shape on the living room ceiling with special lighting wich allows us to create different environments.
The house has wooden floors and big windows that will always keep you in touch with the outside.
Driving towards Monteverde seems to be a challenge for some people. Just let yourself know that the roads coming up the mountain are not paved (gravel roads) plus our house is on a hilltop, so renting a SUV or a 4x4 type car really does make a difference.
The house has forest all around and you will enjoy taking a short walk in the mornings around the property to go bird watching and sometimes see wild animals passing by. If you want to have a closer look at a 'tico' family and farm, you can come and visit our small milking farm and learn how to milk by hand. You can feed the chickens and see local art making by one of our mothers and have a costarican lunch, or why not help prepare it as well!
To go to town its about a 10 minute drive (3km) were you can find restaurants, shops, spas and other interesting things.
So dont miss the opportunity to come and enjoy Monteverde and stay in a place that can be like home.

Nice view
It’s ok fir the price, but pillows not confortable and the mattress not so good also.There’s no mosquito net so it’s impossible to keep the window and the patio door open to have fresh air. The appliance in the kitchen is very basic if you want to cook your meal. The view is very nice and it’s ok for us short stay. T you really need a 4x4 because it’s not a real road and there’s a lot of rocks.

Hillside Hideaway
Assuming you have a 4x4 vehicle, this is a truly magical location. Far enough outside of town for peace and quiet (and amazing views), but close enough to get to where you want to go.

As advertised - the view from the property is amazing!!
Family of 4 stayed in the property for 2 nights. The home is on the top of a hill and has a amazing view all the way to the Gulf of Nicoya. It was relaxing to watch the storms roll through the valley. The drive to the center of town was easy and about 10 minutes. Close to the cloud forests and zip line companies. The home was very clean and comfortable. The remodeled bathroom is awesome. Highly recommend staying here while in Monteverde. Zabrina was great to work with and had good food recommendations.

great setting. needs work
the setting is perfect with lots of nature around and close to Monteverde. house has some major flaws. shower was cold even though a number of other guests have had the same complaint it wasn't fixed. The house becomes an oven in the afternoon sun but no fans, screens, or ac. so when you turn on the house lights you have to close up or you get lots of bugs. no way to ventilate. also - the dogs in the valley bark for a long time in early evening and morning. nothing the owner can do about that I know. may not irritate some but it was excessive. these problems put a damper on an otherwise great experience. saw 6 quetzals in Monteverde with an excellent bird guide.
