Costa Rica wildlife vacation
Comfortable, fun house with an absolutely incredible view of the forest. The porches are perfect rain or shine and the extended yard down the trail is great for observing birds and butterflies. Felt immersed in the countryside. Close enough to town that going out is relatively quick and easy. Road into the house was in good shape.

Very very special place to stay
My wife and two teenage girls had a wonderful time at this special place. The house was well-outfitted, and there was space for all of us. The location cant be beat. You really feel like you're somewhere special and out of the way, but the drive into town and around to attractions was easy.

Lovely home on spectacular piece of property with trees and a stream right outside. A very rough road to get to the home taking 15 minutes from town. That was the only issue with the property. Otherwise it was perfect and the hosts left fresh bread, preserves and flowers. Thank you!

Wonderful home!! Perfect for two couples. Comfortable and well maintained! Best part was the setting. Beautiful, peaceful and lovely! We enjoyed walking the trails around the home and watching the birds from the decks off the bedrooms. Short drive to Santa Elena and plenty of restaurants closer. Kitchen was small but workable with 2 burner induction system & toaster oven.

Beautiful private home in Monteverde
Nestled in the cloud forest, this beautiful well-appointed home was perfect for our 3 days in Monteverde. Oscar was easy to communicate with before and during our trip. We arrived to find fresh eggs and delicious homemade bread in the kitchen. It was a quick drive into town, close to attractions and restaurants. It was hard to leave this wonderful place! Thank you, Oscar for a memorable stop on our CR adventure!

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property in the cloud forest. We only stayed 3 nights and the weather was cloudy and rainy most of the time but that’s why they call it the cloud forest. The property was a short drive from town, beautiful view and full of flowers and birds. The owners left us fresh eggs and bread and lovely fresh flowers. Would highly recommend and would definitely return.

A slice of heaven in the cloud forest.
The pictures for Casa Mia do not do it justice. The property is nestled down a quiet dirt road and surrounded by nature. The views were incredible. There is a stream that runs thru the property that plays its own symphony while you sleep. The balcony wraps around 2 sides of the house making it easy to sit outside and explore the wildlife amongst the trees. A property close by had cattle that grazed on a nearby field that you could enjoy watching through the trees. We were greeted by a beautiful woodpecker in the morning, there are hummingbirds galore to see and a wide array of other birds and critters to keep your eyes wandering. Highly recommend having binoculars on hand. We toured Cafe Monteverde coffee farm and give it high praises as well. Hanging bridges is a must, WITH a tour guide. Any of the trail walks are best with a guide as they see what we don’t. Come prepared for it to be colder in the mountains, bring mosquito wipes with deets, they worked very well. Oscar and his wife made sure we got there safe and stayed in communication with us throughout our stay. We felt safe the entire time. It was a pleasant surprise to see that they provided with fresh eggs, coffee and a loaf of bread in the kitchen. We were sad to leave this little slice of heaven in the clouds.

We loved Casa Mia
We loved our stay at Casa Mia. The home and the surrounding property are beautiful. On the day of arrival we were greeted with fresh eggs, a loaf of bread and coffee, such a nice touch. There is a lovely one mile walk you can do around Oscar and Juana’s property that is super nice. There are big windows in the home that overlook the surrounding jungle. The hummingbirds, parrots, and toucans were wonderful to see each day. Do keep in mind that bedrooms and bathrooms are up some stairs that are a bit steep. There’s is no “hot tub” as stated in the listing but there are two nice walk in showers. The owner Juana was so nice and gave us suggestions of things to see in the area. The Monteverde area is stunning to see and the home was a wonderful place to be at the end of each day. We would most definitely stay there again.

Mountain Home with Great Views!
We had a great stay at Casa Mia in Monteverde area! Oscar and Juana are great hosts, everything was perfect for our arrival. We got there after dark and got turned around and Oscar was kind enough to meet us and lead us to the house. (Just a tip, Casa Mia did not show up for us on Waze or Google Maps when we were leaving Liberia but if you search again when you get near Santa Elena it will show up. For Google Maps, use “Monteverde Casa Mia”) The house and the grounds are beautiful, we loved sitting up on the raised patio in the evenings under a blanket and having some drinks. Just looking out in the mornings and afternoons from the patio you will see many hummingbirds. At night, you hear the breeze, the stream below and the rain on the roof. The bread and eggs were a great addition for an easy breakfast, there are some small supermarkets not too far away that have the essentials. For restaurants, Bon Appetit is very close, has great food and atmosphere but a little pricey. The hamburgers and beers at Monteverde Brewing Company were very good. Taco Taco was our favorite - the fish and pork tacos were great and for drinks, the cazuela was very tasty. The house is within 30 minutes of the Monteverde Park. We visited Selvatura Park & walked the hanging bridges loop and also walked through the sloth and butterfly exhibits and had lunch at the restaurant there. Also recommend one of the night wildlife tours. Great visit!

This house is a dream. My wife and I wanted to buy it. Super clean, laundry is available (which we utilized), tons of natural light and floor-to-ceiling windows/sliding doors with incredible views of the mountain and its flora and fauna. We saw and heard a ton of wildlife sitting out on the porch in the mornings. And the house is close to all the action in town. Fully recommend staying at Oscar's place!

Perfect house for family of 4. Bedrooms were spacious, with full window views of the surrounding forest. Wake up to birds chirping and stunning views from the mountaintop. Nice hiking trail nearby. Bathrooms were small but functional. Wifi worked well. Only minus is road to get there. Typical Costa Rican mountain road, narrow and many potholes. Long and winding drive to Santa Elena and Monteverde.

The house was very clean with everything we needed for our stay. When we arrived there were eggs and a loaf of bread waiting for us. The large windows face the mountains, with views of beautiful trees teeming with birds and butterflies. One night we sat on the upstairs porch to watch a lightening storm and fireflies. There’s a pretty hike just outside the house. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a quiet and tranquil place to rest and enjoy nature. A short drive from town and the outdoor adventure companies.
