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.

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).

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!

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!

Great house! Thank you!

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.

What a beautiful and unique home, filled with intricate woodwork and a thoughtfully designed space. Check in was a breeze, the location is very convenient for access to all of the local wonders.

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.

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!

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.

This property is truly amazing! The attention to detail is unbelievable. We saw so much wildlife; monkeys, birds, and others. We’re definitely going to recommend this property!

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.

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!

Enjoyed our 2 night stay. Property experience was great. Monkeys visit daily. The wood craftmanship of Canopy Wonders is impressive. Host was very responsive, arranged our tours, cooked us breakfast in the park!

Unique home on stilts surrounded by decks and full of amazing woodworking. The owner made beautiful furnishings, counter, sinks, doors and woodwork out of amazing trees.
We were close to town, but felt like we were living in the jungle with visits from monkeys and gorgeous birds.

Our family of four had a great 5-day stay at Canopy Wonders this January, 2024. The interior is amazing, and the house is quite roomy. The three bedrooms are well removed from each other, so there is a lot of privacy for everyone. You are right in the forest, and the views from the abundant decks are delightful. We were visited by a troop of coatis, and also saw agoutis, armadillos (at night) and capuchin monkeys.
The house is close to town but you would never know it when you're there.
Daniela will provide you with all the information you could possibly need about how to get there, restaurants, places to go, etc. Thank you, Daniela, for a great stay!

This home is beyond impressive! It deserves more than 5 stars. The detailed creativity and craftsmanship that went into building such a beautiful home was appreciated by our family. So thankful to have experienced it! Just gorgeous. I've never seen a more clean home.
The video they shared to find the home helped very much.

This was one of my favorite VRBOs ever! The woodwork is amazing, the home is clean, and the beds are comfortable. The location is close to restaurants and shops at edge of town, and short drive to several reserves. But the best part is being immersed in nature. The elevated house has huge windows and multiple balconies, so you are literally surrounded by the forest and wildlife.
Perfect for BIRDERS! We saw life-list species on the trails around the larger property, on the gravel road to the house, from the front stairs, and through the huge windows in every room. Every morning, I took my binoculars to our bedroom’s secluded, covered, wrap-around balcony and birded with my coffee before even pulling on my hiking boots. It was magical.
The washer and dryer were great in Monteverde’s damp climate. Dehumidifiers in the bedrooms helped too, though we turned ours off at night to hear the outdoor sounds. Layout was perfect for three couples. WiFi supported lots of streaming. Host was responsive and professional. Fresh banana bread when we arrived was delicious. I would stay here again in a minute! Pura Vida!

This is a beautiful house - close to the end of town but totally secluded feeling. You wake up to the amazing bird and insect sounds with trees showcased in the floor to ceiling windows. Daniela was a great host, very communicative and available. The park across the way is an extra bonus for the kids . Their was so much care and detail and creativity in building the house. Highly recommend. Nearby restaurants Nativo, Escondido and de Lucia were all great.

No surprises which is great. The location is excellent and the property is too. We saw many birds including the mot mot along with several and mammals, including monkeys, coati squirrels, agouti and even a Mexican Hairy Dwarf Porcupine in a tree next to the master bedroom balcony.
Our host, Daniella, was prompt and honest with her answers and helpful in every way. My only complaint about the trip was in regards to the roads in Costa Rica. If you drive, be prepared to take your time. Rushing will not help a bit!

This is a beautiful house. The woodworking is amazing and the huge windows allow you to see the forest from every room. We saw and heard monkeys everyday and other creatures (maybe more insects than desired but it is a cloud forest). Daniela is very helpful and they offer an on-site breakfast if desired. The location is private but close to town and the Monteverde Reserve. Highly recommend.

This is a just an amazing tree house . It was way bigger than I expected and just beautiful views in every direction

The house was spacious and clean. Daniela met us at the house as soon as we arrived and was very helpful. The house is beautiful with views all around. We were visited by a Coati one of the days.
It is a nice location. Close to town and markets.
We highly recommend this place if you are making your way to Monteverde.

House had a great and relaxing view for bird watching.

This beautiful house is a unique work of art standing above the forest floor. Master carpenters have created a wonderful interior space with so much to admire, flourishes of wooden detail. Despite this, the house is very comfortable and functional and is a great living space.
My initial dialogue with Ernesto was handled promptly and courteously. Daniela then took over and was an excellent point-of-contact, friendly and helpful, before and after our arrival. The property was cleaned to a very high standard. The WiFi was robust.
The property is down a rough, unpaved, stone road. We were in SUVs.
There are a handful of good eateries within 20 minutes walk. We took a torch and are glad we did.
A brilliant place with nice, helpful people in charge. Highly recommended!

House was large and perfectly situated in the trees. Comfortable beds and pillows with own bathrooms. Wildlife including monkeys came to visit. Close to town with fabulous restaurants. Perfect house for 3 couples. Recommended for a stay.

The nicest wood floors i have ever seen! The rock inlay was absolutely beautiful! The wood inlay around in the door trim was a very nice touch. The rooms are all so far apart 3 couples can sleep there and never ever hear each other! The balconies around each room and everywhere else you look are incredible! The host is a delight and a wonderful person and cooks great breakfast! Go here and you will never want to leave. The leave a book tske a book offer is a nice plus to the property too. If you’re looking for a very peaceful place to read and have monkeys come up and say hi… this is your place! Around 8am i was woke up by a monkey jumping on the roof of my master bedroom, which was great to wake up to…

The property is gorgeous, very clean and well maintained with lots of wood details. Daniela, the concierge, was communicative and very helpful both in checking us in and providing information about local tours and activities. The kitchen had all the essentials and it was great to have access to washer and dryer. Monkeys came to visit our first day. We were disappointed not to see them again.

If you come to Costa Rica to be a part of the amazing country then this is the place for you. The Canopy House is set back amongst the trees where it lets you feel you are definitely a part of nature, but a comfortable walk away from delicious restaurants and small market. The hand carved wood work is gorgeous and something we’ve never seen. We felt very lucky ti be able to experience such a unique property. The Canopy House is truly Pura Costa Rica!

This is a very unique place to stay. We felt like we were really alone with nature. The home was super clean and so fun to be in. A lot of time and effort went in to making this place feel like you’re in a treehouse. The host was very quick to respond to us. We loved it!

Only downside there are no dressers to put your clothes, but we somehow managed. Beautiful place. Great for families. We each had our own wing.

This house is wonderful. The photos don't do it justice. It's bigger and brighter than it looks. There are windows everywhere which truly make you feel like you're living in the trees. It was very clean. The beds were comfortable and had extra blankets if you wanted them. The water pressure in the shower was great and we never ran out of hot water. The kitchen had everything we needed. Little extras like tea, coffee, salt, sugar, shampoo and conditioner were provided and appreciated. The house feels very secluded and offers a lot of privacy, yet it's in a great location and close to everything you go to Monteverde to do. We saw tons of wildlife from the deck including birds (toucan, motmot) and animals including coati, fox, and agouti. Our family of four had a wonderful time in Monteverde and we all loved staying in this lovely, unique home.

I didn't get to stay at this lovely place as I was unlucky and contracted Covid and had to quarantine in San Jose. My famlily was able to enjoy this lovely vacation home, though, and I was treated to rave reviews of the property. The home is beautiful and the uniqueness of the wordwork is more beautiful than the pictures can convey. When my family arrived, there was a loaf of carrot bread waiting for them - what a lovely and welcoming touch. They loved everything about the stay - the accommodations were perfect! They were ecstatic to report that there more than fifteen Coatis under the house one afternoon (gentle creatures just looking for ants!). Ernest was a wonderful host and arranged taxis and took care of their every need. Would absolutely stay again!

This stay was simply incredible. We truly wish that we had more time. Ernesto was fantastic and helped organize other aspects of our trip as well.
We will definitely be back!

The property was outstanding, clean and spacious, and the setting was unique, nestled amongst the trees. The bedrooms had fantastic views of the forest, and wildlife moved around the property with ease, making observation lots of fun.
The roadway leading into the property is rugged, and you have to proceed slowly down the gravel road. Having a 4 x 4 to access this property is recommended.
We loved the house and were very appreciative of Ernesto, he was a gracious and helpful host.
Would definitely stay there again and recommend this property.
