Right in the middle of Monteverde, on the famous Curi-Cancha Reserve. Huge windows, soaring beams, and wraparound porch for enjoying the forest with your morning coffee. Built by one of the original Quaker families.

The space
This is a beautiful house built with love in the early 50's by Hubert and Mildred Mendenhall, two of the original Quaker settlers, and several of their children were born here. My family, the Lowthers, purchased the house and property in 1970. The property is now the Curi-Cancha Reserve and I am very proud that we are able to protect this gorgeous cloud forest and support a large number of local families in an environmentally friendly way. The spacious living room with soaring cedro beams and huge windows looks out on the forest and the large deck. Note the original party line telephone on the wall as you enter. That party line phone no longer operates (although there is a nice modern phone and wifi) as there is no party line to be part of, but we love the way it looks. Linens are provided. I've left a guitar that you are welcome to use and also a number of games: Monopoly, Clue, Catan, Dominant Species, Code Names, Chess, and several decks of cards. The house has WiFi, full kitchen with extras such as dishwasher, blender, oven, microwave, coffee maker, rice maker, and crock pot. The house also has a washing machine, clothes dryer, and indoor garage. There is a bidet in the bathroom. I am working on getting the jacuzzi pump repaired but for now it is just a tub and hot shower. In the summer of 2018 we installed all solar electricity and water heating to reduce our carbon footprint. 65 years: that's old for a wooden house in a tropical cloud forest. Constant love and care keep it going. Please let us know if anything needs attention.
No pets of any kind are allowed.

Guest access
You have complete use of the 9 rooms and large yard of the house. Guests staying in the house also enjoy a discount on entrance fee to Curi-Cancha Reserve. If you would like a guide (and I HIGHLY recommend that you take one as you will see and learn far more on your walk) you will need to give Mauricio Ramirez, the operator of Curi-Cancha Reserve, some advance notice by phone or email and he will set a guide up for you.

Other things to note
