Wonderful house hidden in the forrest
Several groups of monkeys entertained us at this hideaway. Daniela couldn't have been a more hospitable host. We had a great time.

Great place and central location
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!

Best VRBO I have ever stayed in.
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.

You must stay in this treehouse
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.

Beautiful home, great stay
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!

Clean and great house
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.

Truly a Canopy of Wonders
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.

Beautiful house in the forest
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!

Unique house in great location
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.

One of a kind
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.

Magical Spot for Birders, Nature Lovers, or Anyone!
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!

Magical house in the Forrest
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.

Monteverde Canopy Wonderful!
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!

Beautiful canopy tree house
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.
