The property was as described and was a nice mix of some modern renovations along with a vintage feel. We loved how it was tucked away under the large trees, and the children absolutely loved the daily monkey visits. The 10 of us mostly spent our time together in the living room area, which has a great open floor plan with high vaulted ceilings. Lush rain forest jungle view off the decks. We had everything we needed to cook meals and enjoy the property thoroughly. Robert and Catalina were very helpful and great hosts/caretakers. The property owners were quick to respond to a few of our initial questions about the area. We also loved how close it was to a small little shopping center with bakery, local restaría y, and groceries, and that you could easily walk to them, a few hundred meters away. The multiple structures made it almost like a private resort. So everyone could have their own privacy and getaway. Extremely convenient to all of the activities that Monteverde has to offer.

Spacious haven

While the monkeys seemed overwhelming at first, they were fun to watch and not a problem. We loved the layout and the spacious rooms. We could find solitude while still enjoying family gathering space. Its location provides quick access to numerous activities from the Cloud Forest , to a waterfall hike, to zip lining, to breakfast at the bottom of the driveway, to coffee options to town. There are a lot of steps!

Simply amazing!

Casa Guarumo is a magical place! We were a group of 9 (4 adults, 5 children ages 14, 13, 11, 9, and 7) traveling through Monteverde for two nights. Communication with Sergio was great and despite us not following the directions (we were supposed to text 24 hours in advance of our arrival), they were able to accommodate an early check-in! The property is simply magical - there is a main house with one queen bed, and several other bedrooms scattered throughout the property. This might be an issue for some groups/families who have smaller children, but for us it worked well. Each bedroom had a twin trundle/couch in addition to a main bed (varied between queen and king beds) and a separate bathroom. One villa had a rooftop terrace! The amphitheater provided a cool vibe (it also had a separate men and womens toilet area). We felt this property would be a very cool event space! Please note - there is no A/C in this property, but we opened doors and windows to get air circulating. We were not uncomfortable at all - the climate in Monteverde is perfect for indoor/outdoor living. Our most favorite parts about the property are the lush vegetation throughout - you truly feel like you are in a jungle - and the MONKEYS! Each afternoon, the monkeys would come and visit around 4:30pm! This provided our group for lasting memories and was such a fun experience. Overall, this was a fantastic place for our group and will cherish the memories we had while staying here!

Quaint stay in the rain forest.

This eclectic accommodation provided some great bird watching opportunities - more than any guided tour we joined. The resident monkeys were quite entertaining. Nice location with great coffee shops just a short walk down the driveway. W

Wonderful mountain house

We stayed in June for 4 nights, it was a large family gathering. The house and garden are a conglomerate of multiple rooms on the side of a hill that are not connected to each other but you can access from outside. Each room has its own balcony view and charm. The garden had lots of flora and intricate pathways, zig zagging to the rooms. When it rains it can be wet and slippery; it was the rainy season. The main living room and kitchen is well equipped with pots, pans, kettle, coffee maker, microwave, large toaster. We spent most of our time here and enjoyed playing card games on the large table. Plenty of sleeping options, lots of warm blankets, large safe to keep documents and laptops (ipads). The best part of the house was early morning and evening bird watching from kitchen balcony; lots of humming birds, emerald toucanets, motmots, trogans, finches... in addition to birds there were some larger animals that visited as well; squirrels, peahens, coatis, armadillos, agoutis.. In the night you can hear them jumping on the roofs.

Cloud forest experience

You literally feel like you’re staying in the forest - the property is beautiful and expansive, the rooms are spread out a bit and there’s quite a few stairs involved. I had my old parents (75 yrs+) who could walk up and down the stairs - we kept that to once a day though so they didn’t have to make multiple trips up and down. Our teenage boys took the rooms that were detached from the main unit while our parents and us stayed in adjacent rooms which are part of the main unit. Taking the luggage up & down for Checkin and checkout was certainly a bit of a haul - so, you need to be ready for that if you’re carrying a few check in bags. Our teenage boys got some workout with me:-) The location is very nice - we didn’t get to see the moneys as they never showed up. Stella’s bakery next door is great for breakfast & brunches. The host even arranged tour guide for night walk etc and provided tips for booking zipline etc. Selvatura park was a great family experience for Zipline as well as sloth habitat, butterfly garden, etc. Overall, a memorable cloud forest expedition staying at this property.

Great base for Monteverde

The house is very large so everyone could have there own room - all ensuite. Very well equipped kitchen. We really liked the location on Monteverde which allowed us to walk from the house to restaurant, shops and nature walks. We saw an Armadillo by the gate on the first evening. Highly recommended for big groups. Wish we could have stayed longer - 2 nights was not enough. Also the weather was much warmer than we expected.

Monteverde retreat

Very spacious, unusual eclectic property in heart of Monteverde. Kenny made sure we had all we needed. Our family had plenty of space for privacy and the main gathering room was perfect for dinner and being together as a group. Moderate walk to town with hills but easy walk to Stellas and restaurants/shops near by. Stellas is fantastic food with wonderful presentation. Monkeys are very entertaining. Think bohemian vs. Hyatt. We really enjoyed our time!

Fantastic property. Very comfortable - every room has its own bathroom, tasteful, clean. Tons of space. Very well appointed with everything one could need. Best place we stayed in during our trip to Costa Rica. Loved the wildlife and proximity to all Monteverde activities. Had a wonderful visit from a monkey family who wanted to snack on our food.

Unique home in a wonderful location

Our family of seven (four adults and three kids) stayed at this beautiful and unique home for two nights. There are many places to sleep, including several beds with private bathrooms and lots of uniquely designed sofas that convert into extra beds, depending on how you want to arrange yourselves. The house is surrounded by amazing wildlife. We saw beautiful birds each morning, and were visited by a small and entertaining troop of white faced capuchin monkeys one morning. The location is outside the hustle and bustle of Monteverde, but just a few minutes walk from Stella's (a favorite for healthy and delicious breakfasts and lunches) and a few other stores and restaurants. Sergio was very responsive to any questions that came up, both before and during our stay. Thanks for a great stay!

Magical

This is the most beautiful and magical place I have ever stayed. The house is lovely and our group of 11 had plenty of space the beds were comfy and monkeys came to visit in the afternoons most days for a banana! On the property we saw the aguite (a large Guinea pig that is local here) and a local raccoon like animal, tons of birds, stick bug and leaf bugs. The magic of this amazing place came to us. Jairo and Jeanne cooked for us and made the most amazing food and accommodated our group (half our vegetarian) with amazing food and introduced us to local fruits and vegetables that we would never have experienced at a local restaurant. Everything was beyond perfect. I will miss this place so much!!!!

Interesting spot tucked away in a small village

Very quiet spot, even though it is up just a short dirt road from the main road through the area. Some great space for hanging out on this property. We had 9 people, and we didn't even utilize all of the space, generally hanging out in the main kitchen area. Daily visits from white-faced monkeys were a good source of entertainment. The local "town" is rather small, but the larger Santa Elana is less than 10 minutes, with access to groceries, restaurants/sodas, and other shops. This is a great location as a base camp for excursions around Monteverde, including the biological preserve and other activities like zip-lining and hanging bridges. The listing shows it is for up to 12 people. There are a few more private bedrooms, but there are several small beds that are less private. Fine if people are ok with just sleeping anyplace, but a bit limited on individual private spaces. We were able to spread out, but 2 kids were sleeping in the "semi-private" bedroom that is basically a half wall separated from the kitchen. We all still had a great time, and the rest of the space is quite a fun layout. I would certainly recommend it!

Beautiful home in a great location...and monkeys!!!

Very unique home with plenty of space for larger groups...but also a good choice for less people. Beautiful, well maintained property that put you right in the middle of the cloud forest. Would definitely recommend and the clincher was the monkeys on the porch in the afternoon...just an awesome experience to hear them running around on the roof of the house, entertaining us through the windows, and interacting with everyone in the family...an experience that everyone in the family will never forget!
