About this property

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.

Peaceful jungle retreat
We absolutely loved it here. Beautiful view in a tucked away jungle setting. It's a bit rustic but thats part of the charm in my opinion. I would stay here again!

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.

Peace house
Right on the edge of forest… with howlers and a toucan. A bit rough or rustic, but fun. Very quiet and fairly close to Monteverde.

About the host

Hosted by Veronica Sheehan

Host profile image
Veronica was born in Mexico and spent 25 years in the States. She worked as a biologist, then as a licensed clinical social worker in various settings including private practice with people suffering from chronic physical illnesses and hospice care. She arrived in Monteverde many years ago with her 5-year-old son, Stuart. She founded PAWS costarica (Promotion of Animal Wellbeing Society), a non-profit organization to help educate people regarding the responsible and compassionate treatment of animals. She believes in changing the world from the inside (OUR inside) out. Everything we do, our choices and lifestyles sum up to our current state of affairs… we have the power to choose again so we can heal ourselves, our planet and all living beings.
Her work within the ecotourism business, the Sustainability Center of Costa Rica and her experimental farm El Encanto, helps visitors understand the intimate connection that we have to the land. The entire community gets to benefit from the tourism that comes to this very rural area and get to share their own wisdom. Everyone wins.
Stuart is her son and is attending university in Costa Rica. He manages the reservations and speaks English and Spanish, so feel free to reach out to him if you have any questions.
Our dream is to achieve sustainability in harmony with nature

Why they chose this property

The property sits on is now a 5- acre private paradise where you get to enjoy Nature at its best!

What makes this property unique

We love the peace and quiet, the sounds of the parrots flying overhead, and of the birds on the trees. We like having lots of space to roam and filling our eyes with the beauty all around. Our animals are happy here too and we enjoy seeing them free and happy. We feel in harmony with nature. The property is close to everything, but when we are home we have our privacy and space. There is enough peace that you can relax, renew and reconnect. Being here allows one to become inspired and moved to action toward a better life and a better world.
