The lodge is wonderful if you want to get up and away from Monteverde. You will need your own transportation, but you will find yourself in a quiet, forest covered part of the world where few people get to stay. The hosts are great, the food terrific, and the quiet a delight. Be ready, this is not a five star hotel, but it is a cabin near a pond across from where a farmer has his cattle and where you can see amazing sites. The price is low, so don't count on things like wi-fi in the room, but hey, you are coming here for an experience in the forest, not another high dollar hotel.
