Get away in nature in your own space
Our stay at this cottage in Monteverde was incredibly relaxing. It had everything we needed, including a nice kitchen, and offered a quiet, comfortable retreat. We especially loved the natural surroundings, with a beautiful 2km network of nature paths right on the property—perfect for peaceful walks. The owner/manager was friendly and very helpful, adding to the overall wonderful experience. The only downside was that the Wi-Fi wasn’t very reliable, but everything else more than made up for it. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind in nature!
Spacious with lot of bedrooms, clean eventhough a little older property. Didn't feel fresh.

We enjoyed our short stay at this property. The nature hike was educational - I think we even saw a Quetzal. Kitchen was well equipped but we didn’t really get a chance to use it. We were able to sit out on our quiet deck to watch the stars and the birds in the morning. Staff were very kind.

Great “little house” and super staff. Bad wifi
Lovely and large cabana with kitchen, table, etc. the staff was impeccable in taking care. Unfortunately the wifi is yo-yo like and we had no hot water due to a malfunction. It took a few days to rectify and then we got warm water.

Cabin was smaller than expected and bed was very uncomfortable. Kitchen was minimalistic but adequate. Two of the four rotating front desk staff spoke fluent English but the other two spoke almost no English (and I speak very little Spanish). The grounds are quite hilly but fairly small so that was not an issue. The grounds are also quite beautiful with a wide variety of plants and the gorgeous bougainvillea I have ever seen shaped into a 10-ft tall tree. Breakfast is available for charge but must be reserved in advance. The food was quite good.

The owners were lovely and gave us a free upgrade to a 2 bedroom cabin which was ideal for us with 2 young children. It had a well equipt kitchen. We did have a few ants coming in but when we told the owner they came down to spray the cabin.
Great having a pool at the property for unwinding after a busy day in nature.
The town was a 5 minute drive and it was really easy and cheap to get taxis there.
Would definitely recommend staying here.

The staff is amazing and extremely helpful. Our cabin overlooked the trees with birds galore. Plenty of trails around the property with a fish hatchery, flowers, fruit, etc. we opted for breakfast the first day but didn’t realize we were to tell them on the next day. Not sure what happened. Defiant would stay again. Pool was freezing so we couldn’t enjoy it very much when we were there.

Best place to stay in Monteverde
Melissa met us and was really friendly and helpful. Showed us to our lodge and gave some information about the grounds including the resident sloth. She also provided some helpful information about visits the cloud forest.
Amazing property which you could walk around for about 40 minutes. We saw all sorts of wildlife.
The lodges was very clean and had everything you needed to cook.
It is about a 20 minute walk from Santa Elena up a steep hill but a taxi is cheap if you don’t want to walk.
This was our favourite place to stay in Costa Rica and would recommend everyone to stay here. Watching the hummingbirds on our balcony was a great highlight from our stay.

Check in was quick and easy and the host was friendly and knowledgeable.
The cabin, however, was in need of refurbishing. While it was quite clean inside, one bathroom smelled so strongly of mold that we could not use it. Fortunately we had booked a larger cabin than we needed (it was the only unit available when we booked) so it had two bathrooms, otherwise we would have had to find alternate accommodations.
It appears that the establishment reinvests little in their facilities as this cabin was very rough. The mattress and pillows were ancient and lumpy and the place was rustic to the point of shabby. The kitchen and bathroom sinks had no hot water taps, only the shower had hot water.
I cannot recommend this place to others.

We had a nice stay in this property. Nice cozy bed, smart TV, kitchen (microwave, 2 ring stove, fridge, sink, pots, pans, cutlery, cutting board, and such), bathroom, and sitting area both inside and outside.
What makes this accommodation special is the family thatt run it. Melissa is at the front desk 12 hours a day, and she speaks fluent English and is extremely helpful. I asked her lots of questions about the different things to do in the area and she was happy to answer them, even though she was not getting any extra fees. The best information she gave to me was that you can take the public bus from town to the Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve (800 colones or $2.30 CDN each way which was much much cheaper than a taxi estimated to cost $29 CDN each way).
Other family members were also helpful. We had trouble turning on the stove and her brother Tony helped out and her husband installed a new one. It was all done quickly and with care.
A small disappointment was that there was no shampoo in the bathroom.
Please note that this property is not right in Santa Elena. It requires a 20-minute walk into town, much of it uphill. There is a small grocery store right across the street from the property, but the larger stores are definitely a walk away.
Cabanas la Pradera was a wonderful experience. The cabins are set out over 14 acres I believe. Within the property there are easy walking trails. The birding within the property is excellent but the cabanas are close to Curri Cancha, Monteverde and so many other locations good for birding, butterflies and restaurants!
The cabins themselves are basic but very comfortable. Melissa and her family make you feel very welcome and are so helpful. I would love to go back.
