Casa Cielo: Bird’s Eye Views– proceeds support Sustainability Center

All proceeds from Casa Cielo fund the animal welfare, environmental and social welfare programs at the Sustainability Center. Casa Cielo is a breathtaking paradise with unmatched views of the forested mountains of Monteverde and is perfect for families or groups of friends. Enjoy exploring the private forest trails throughout our 2.5 hectare/6 acre property, and relax on the balcony to enjoy incredible sunsets over forest valley and the Gulf of Nicoya. Just minutes from Santa Elena and the Monteverde reserves, this cabin is the perfect home base for all of your ecotourism adventures in the cloud forest!

Casa Cielo is truly the most awe-inspiring home in Monteverde. This two-story (plus loft) A-frame cabin makes guests feel as if they are living in the sky. Hawks can often be seen soaring over the valley from the large picture windows running the length of the first floor. The sunrises and sunsets from the hammock on the upstairs balcony are an unforgettable experience. We provide you with free organic coffee from our farm in Monteverde for the first morning of your stay for you to settle in and enjoy the spectacular beauty of the surrounding forest.

Casa Cielo features a whirlpool bathtub on the second floor for two overlooking the valley forest views. With gorgeous hardwood floors throughout the cabin and plenty of spaces to relax, Casa Cielo is the ideal spot for a vacation in paradise. With a double bed and loft bed upstairs, plus a cozy futon, Casa Cielo easily sleeps 5 people. Both the downstairs bathroom and upstairs whirlpool bathtub have hot water, and there is a washing machine and double clothesline. You’ll enjoy the view while cooking in our fully-equipped kitchen, and the whole family will love sitting down for a meal at our custom-crafted dining table. Of if you’d rather relax, you can enjoy traditional Costa Rican meals cooked by our neighbors from the local community and delivered to you.

You’ll love relaxing on the couch or in the armchair in the living room, curling up with a book on the upstairs loveseat, or enjoying a sunset coffee or glass of wine in the balcony hammock. The views in Casa Cielo are unmatched no matter where you are in the cabin. The dining table looks out onto our forest preserve property, and further beyond into the valley and out to the Gulf of Nicoya. All of our guests love the upstairs balcony, which has a custom designed wrought iron railing– feel free to set up the hammock for some serious relaxing or take it down to do sunrise yoga.

Enjoy playing a game or reading from our library collection of children and adult books, Costa Rican guidebooks, and books about local flora and fauna. Sit down at the desk to write a story in our guestbook or look up activities in Monteverde with free Wifi. With over 2.5 hectares/6 acres of private forest to explore via our trails, you will have a great time exploring the famous cloud forests of Monteverde and seeing various plants and animals (including parrots, toucans, and monkeys).

You can enjoy the entire house, private parking space, and the private 2.5 hectare/6 acre lush forest property that surrounds Casa Cielo. There is a private gated entrance and short flat trail leading to Casa Cielo.

We provide guests with the option of ordering homemade meals that are delivered straight to your doorstep! Please arrange with us ahead of time if you would like meals (breakfasts, lunches, and/or dinners) prepared throughout your stay.

Beautiful Spot!
One of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed. The house is rustic and a little rough around the edges but that is all accounted for in the price and clear in the listing. The village of Santa Elena is close by and great for dining and shopping. Just string the hammock up on the porch and relax.

Lovely tree house in idyllic location
The chalet was brilliant. A great space for the whole family, with amazing views. The hosts communicated brilliantly and we had a great time. The view is honestly just amazing and waking up to it on the mornings we're beautiful. Great facilities too with a kitchen stocked with equipment and some coffee and bits provided. Thanks for a great stay!

Excellent !!
This property has the view !! Don't expect a completely bug-free room. All basic necessities are taken care of. It is not a resort but if you are looking for a simple, peaceful stay with great views, this is it.

Great cabin
There’s lots of great things about this place. If you want peace and quiet in nature this is the spot. Its a great cabin just far enough off the grid and it’s easy to get to town when needed.
