This clutch of pretty cabins is on a little hill overlooking Santa Elena and the surrounding
forests. Rooms vary in size and style, but all are quite lovely, with lots of stained wood,
rainforest showers and private terraces. A system of private trails winds through the prop-

Monteverde Rustic Lodge HOTEL
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ;

US$70/85/105; )
Funny thing about the Rustic Lodge: it's not that rustic. The tree-trunk posts and furnish-
ings play along with the theme, but the remodeled rooms are spotless, comfortable and
even upscale. Decorated in subtle earth tones, the rooms have lots of stained wood, tile
floors and floral curtains. The shared balcony or terrace overlooks a blooming garden.
Mar Inn B&B B&B
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ;
2645-5279; www.monteverdemarinn.com ; d incl breakfast without/with
view US$62/79; )
This humble, homey B&B is a family-run place that makes all guests feel warm and wel-
come. Rooms are rustic but reasonably comfortable. There's a communal kitchen and a
shared balcony where rocking chairs are oriented toward those lovely sunset views of
Santa Elena and the Golfo de Nicoya.
