La Casa de la Montaña

Just a great place to stay. Leslie and his family made us feel very welcome. The cabin was beautifully appointed with everything needed for a short stay. It was particularly lovely in the evenings with the lights. We saw agouti, white faced capuchins, toucans and a variety of birds and butterflies. It was easy to walk to local restaurants and to the nearby town. All in all a very pleasant stay.

Celebrating our 40th anniversary, booked the “Honeymoon Suite”. Clean room, cute private balcony. Great breakfast included (choice of traditional or American). Help with Tour recommendations and bookings if requested. Bottle of wine and snack welcome basket was appreciated. Coffee maker, refrigerator, microwave in room. Loved that they had kitchen supplies available from reception area to use. Daily linen change. Wildlife viewing right here on the property. Extremely friendly family run hotel.

The situation of the hotel is excellent, outside the town of Monteverde with great views. Rooms are set around the grounds and are basic and in need of some refurbishment. The bathroom fittings were chipped, no fan or A/C but plenty of hot water. One hairdryer was available from reception. Despite being busy there were very few people in the restaurant - 9 out of 11 of us had food poisoning, presumably from food handling as we all had different meals! Staff at the breakfast we went to were surly and brought out a huge amount of food which was wasted as we had all been ill & we were not given the option to order!

A great stay in Monteverdi. About 1km from town, easily walkable, The owners were fabulous. The beds were comfortable and the rooms very clean. La Casa also offered many lounge spaces, indoors, outdoors, semi covered and some fun for the kids. The location is great, tucked away in its own area of forest and very quiet. Overall a great stay, we would heartily recommend.

Loved our stay here. We had a honeymoon suite. The room was very private with large windows overlooking the jungle. Leslie and the family are warm, helpful and very hospitable. There are many great restaurants within walking distance too! Cool in the evenings there, have layers.

My husband and I spent a night here and loved it! Gorgeous views from the massive windows (including one in the shower!). Clean room and very comfortable bed. Loved the early check in time, so convenient! Sebastian was very warm and hospitable, helped with booking tours and other recommendations as well. They also had lots of wildlife around (monkeys and birds). Highly recommend!

Beautiful quiet location. Walking distance to many restaurants. Owner Leslie and his wife are so friendly and accommodating. Check in was quick and easy. We had a beautiful honeymoon suite with a complementary bottle of wine. Our suite had a very comfy king size bed, mini fridge, small sofa and coffee table. There is a view of the cloud first from two sides of the room. The shower has a full length window overlooking the trees. Leslie helped us book two tours; a night tour and a guided tour at Cura Conchi reserve with with Alexander of 3 brothers tours. The rooms are very clean and they even did our laundry for a small fee. Breakfast was wonderful and feature fruit platter and either Costa Rican or eggs and pancakes. The grounds are beautiful too. Such a wonderful place!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for one day at the end of our trip to Costa Rica. The host was very friendly and helpful in recommending the best places to hike and eat in the area. The room was so unique with floor to ceiling windows showing off beautiful forest views. We even had a complimentary bottle of wine waiting for us. In the morning they cooked us a delicious homemade breakfast. We had a great time and I would highly recommend this place to others!

From the moment we drove to our secluded-in-the-rainforest but local neighborhood, we knew we were in the right place. Leslie and his wife are so welcoming they go above and beyond and they are truly kind, wonderful souls. We opted for the king suite, and our room was immaculate- I had mentioned in my booking that it was my partners birthday and , well if you can see the picture we arrived and it was just overwhelmingly perfect!! Roses on the bed and a bottle of wine for the occasion, so unexpected and so thoughtful of the family. The bathroom was big and - the shower was next level- it featured a full length window to look out to the forest, our bed we thought would be a double but it was a king size! It was so peaceful and there are a couple toucans and countless, beautiful flighty hummingbirds that enjoy La casa de La Montaña as well! Our breakfast was scrumptious ( offered American or local classic) it was very filling, made by Leslie’s wife- coffee and juice were delicious, our bellies were full to go adventure in the clouds. We had the pleasure of watching a local artist come to paint in the garden too! 😍 We originally only booked for 2 nights but stayed a third night. Leslie recommended a fabulous night tour that was ethical ( no animals were coaxed out with food- like some other places were known to do) and Leslie even brought us around his property, showing us tarantula and his lovely toucan friends !! We will definitely be back and recommend to our friends, we were happy to stay and wished we didn’t have to move on, even our private parking spot had an incredible view! Happy to stay somewhere local with such a lovely family. Pura vida 🦋 Everything was great, we were only sad that we couldn’t stay longer ! La casa de La Montana was a hit! 10/10 would come back soon Gracias Leslie! Lo + Marc
