Casa La Paz: Peaceful Paradise– proceeds support Sustainability Center

All proceeds from Casa La Paz fund the animal welfare, environmental and social welfare programs at the Sustainability Center. Caza La Paz is a quiet, peaceful paradise nestled in the forested mountains of Monteverde and is perfect for families or groups of friends. 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! Enjoy exploring the private forest trails throughout our 2.5 hectare/6 acre property, and relax with stunning views of the forest and Gulf of Nicoya from nearly every part of the house.

Casa La Paz (formerly Casa Inspiracion) is a newly renovated, one-story cabin nestled in a lush forest paradise in Monteverde, and is the perfect rustic home. Through the large picture windows running almost the entire length of the house, watch the ever-changing view over the forested mountains of Monteverde and enjoy colorful sunsets from the comfort of the couch or outside in our handcrafted porch swing. 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 tranquil beauty of the surrounding forest.

Casa La Paz features a large whirlpool bathtub for two, plus a bathroom with a large shower. Both the bath and shower have hot water. With a cozy private master bedroom and charming bunkroom, in addition to a large pull out futon, the cabin easily sleeps up to 7 people. 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. 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.

Enjoy bird watching while you eat breakfast on the front porch, and later enjoy a sunset coffee or glass of wine from the back porch, which is ready for relaxation with a hammock and hand-crafted porch swing. 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). Casa La Paz truly is a peaceful place.

You can enjoy the entire house, private covered parking space, and the private 2.5 hectare/6 acre lush forest property that surrounds Casa La Paz. There is a private gated entrance down to Casa La Paz. PLEASE NOTE that our driveway is steep and requires a 4x4 vehicle to navigate to the covered parking space next to the house. If you do not have a 4x4 vehicle, you can park above the driveway in our private parking (we will provide you with more specific information). We are happy to say we now have steps leading to the house from the carport.

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.
The vacation home features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.

Great cabin in a beautiful location. Definitely a rustic vibe which is good if that’s what you are looking for but may be too much for some (bugs will get into the cabin). Of course when you are staying in a forest you should expect this but seems like other reviews don’t understand this. We had an amazing time and saw lots of birds on the property and even an anteater!

I wish the view was better. Unfortunately too many bushes and trees blocked any view from porch or window. Atmosphere reminded me of the people that live there. Nice to feel the culture and not just stay in an American style hotel

We love this location! Simple but functional space on a nice property with trails. We saw over 60 species of birds on the trails on the property while staying, as well as monkeys, coatis, possums, etc. Great spot for people that want a quiet space in the woods, and only a few minutes drive from Santa Elena/Monteverde.

Worst place I’ve ever stayed. It was very hard to find and the shower has exposed electrical wires. We stayed one night and wanted a refund for the second night due to the shower safety issue which could result in death. They didn’t grant this.

The property was very rustic but we loved it! It was the perfect spot for our family just outside of the Monteverde area. The driveway is very steep so they are not kidding when they say you need a vehicle that can handle it. Our kids loved watching all the leaf cutter ants around the property and hiking some of the trails. The sunset was beautiful. Our first night the wind was very strong but the second night it was much more calm. We saw a gecko and a different kind of lizard on the back patio. It was also very nice to be able to do laundry. If you are up for an adventure I would recommend staying here :)

Magical Sunsets

The rustic experience was not short of breathtaking views of the sunsets! The bathtub was a nice touch and the beds were way more comfortable then expected. It has all cookware we needed and the trails around the property were fun to explore. Super close to Mt Verde made it easily accessible for our cloud Forest adventure.

It's in a beautiful location but it's very rustic. It's basically a cottage or cabin in the woods. They need to add or turn on more solar lights outside because it's down a hill and it's pitch dark at night time so it's not easy to access.

Quiet hideaway

Casa la Paz is a quiet and rustic hideaway. Don't expect luxury, but do expect lots of birds, hidden trails and a great location. It has a steep driveway, you'll need a 4x4 to reach the house. It's about 15-20 min drive from the centre of Santa Elena and the entrance to most bosque nobuso Monteverde activities.

Adorable place

We loved our stay in this cozy cabin. The location was stunning although I would not recommend for someone with mobility issues as the walk up/down is steep but there are stairs. The place is rustic and there were some bugs, after all it is literally in the jungle. I thought it was charming. It is the rainy season so the trees grow quickly and thus the view was obstructed. The property manager was very attentive and answered all of our questions. Would stay here again, no doubt.
