Top notch hotel and staff. The breakfast was fantastic!
5/25/2026
Jen runs a tight ship - beautiful property and peaceful location!
2/23/2026
Wonderful facilities. The dehumidifier in the bedroom was a very smart idea. The guide Koky, who only guides for this lodge, was fantastic. Worth returning just for him!
1/29/2026
Excellent accommodations, fun experience!!! Breakfasts were great and Koky the guide was amazing!!
3/3/2025
This was one of the best places I have ever stayed- beautiful treehouses- the beds were so comfortable. What really was special was Jen's attention to her guests and small details, especially the lovely 5pm gathering of guests for cocktails, talk and to watch the sunsets. Her knowledge of the area, the willingness to connect you with the resources and places you needed to go was amazing and always done with humour and efficiency.
12/16/2023
Hidden Canopy was worth a visit to Costa Rica all by itself -- a wonderful experience. Their guide, Koky, was also so superlative that he alone is also a reason to visit Costa Rica.
7/6/2023
We loved this place. I was trying to figure out a way to stay another day. So beautiful. Creative breakfasts. Jen quietly listened to our needs and days plans and just took care of everything - made restaurant reservations for us, reservations at Selvatura. We didn’t ask her to, she just did and it smoothed things out for us. The room was AMAZING. So comfortable and well thought out.
5/4/2023
Very welcoming, beautiful room, great breakfast! Definitely would not recommend though if you want the real Costa Rica experience as this hotel felt more geared towards Americans. Really appreciated the help with tours and that the cost to town for dinner was covered. Evening cocktail hour was amazing!
4/24/2023
Amazing spot! Loved staying at the Treehouse. We loved breakfast everyday, happy hour looking out into the forest and that Jen got us rides into town every night. The owners went above and beyond to welcome us and help us book any activities we were interested in. I would highly recommend staying here.
3/23/2023
Jennifer king is the best host. Breakfast and tours with koky were the best. Beautiful treehouse cabin and service
3/7/2023
Spectacular, wonderful
2/28/2023
Absolutely the best! I have never stayed in such an amazing place and the host and hostess were super accommodation, pleasant, and always made a point of visiting with everyone in the dining room at breakfast and "happy hour". Their guide for the night tour and cloud forest day tour was amazing! Very friendly and knowledgeable; even came at breakfast and set up his scope so we could view the hummingbirds and other birds and used the scope to take pictures with our phones. I would definitely stay there again. Expensive but so worth it!
2/14/2023
Amazing place and staff
4/28/2022
This place was the best of all 3 hotels even though the other 2 were excellent also
4/28/2022
Innkeeper Jen was very very nice made are stay a marvelous one. Gave good resturant so info as well.
Want to visit again
2/27/2022
The best experience for housing and food. We really loved the owner and her staff who went above and beyond. The location was exceptional with views and wildlife.
2/19/2022
Jennifer provided so many amenities. We especially liked the drivers she had available, and setting up tours for us.
1/22/2022
Above and beyond. The most beautiful experience and view of the trip
1/22/2022
I wish there was an option to put 11 as our satisfaction level. Jennifer was the most gracious host, we knew we were in good hands no matter what we were doing. The treehouse was absolutely amazing!!! I think it was my favorite place of the 3. If I ever make it back to Costa Rica I will go out of my way to stay here again. I cannot recommend this spot enough. Jennifer even had crutches on hand when one of was injured and needed them. Such a special place- loved it!
1/12/2022
The rooms could have robes and sleepers for their guest
8/4/2019
Amazing
7/16/2019
Wow! Staying here is such a great experience and the owner, Jenn King, really looks out for her guests. She is well connected in the area and helps with tweaking schedules around weather, etc. The breakfasts served are wonderful and she takes into account any food issues that people have, making everyone feel welcome. She hosts a 5:00 tea time each evening, which I was skeptical of at first, but luckily the guests staying there were fun to be with. Be careful not to eat too much at these or you'll not enjoy your dinner as much when you go out. I absolutely loved the space of the Rising Sun treehouse. Quiet, private, stunning. I highly recommend this place and would return.
7/16/2019
Exceeded our expectations. Great facility. Jenn, the host, was extremely accommodating. Will recommend to friends.
7/7/2019
Superb accommodation which you can't fault for the wow factor. Owner lovely . Very expensive even in the off season for effectively a B&B. Remote from the town so had to get taxis for meals etc.
2/8/2019
The house was awesome, the staff super friendly. The owner gives however an impression of a very strict environment (strict rules). Overall, we were expecting something more for the price. It's way too expensive.
2/7/2019
Again, not aware of line item cost here, but would love to know what it cost us to stay in what was probably the best hotel experience in all of our travels worldwide. Loved every aspect of it! The most gorgeous room, perfect setting, excellent food and service. The night nature walk led by Koki was a special treat. We saw lots of stuff. And Jen, of course, seems to be a TripAdvisor favorite. Quite the character, and an ideal fit for a magical place such as this. Would recommend to our most discriminating friends!
7/6/2017
What's not to love here!
4/23/2017
Unbelievable place. Everything was perfect....
3/29/2017
This place was wonderful and passed all our expectations. Jenn King was an excellent host, the staff were very friendly and attentive, and we were very happy with our stay.
2/21/2017
delightful place. went out of their way to be helpful
2/20/2017
We loved our Canopy Tree House. We loved Jennifer's Breakfast and Happy Hour. And she was able to arrange drivers to take us into town when we wanted to go.
2/13/2017
Jen was an a accommodating host with a lot of knowledge and friendly
2/13/2017
Jen was excellent. Highly recommend anything with Koki the naturalist who works with Hidden Canopy
1/26/2017
Very comfortable with friendly staff and some lovely touches ie sunset drinks. Tree houses very high quality build but interior design lacked charm.
1/11/2017
What a sensational place to stay. The tree houses are just amazing, with their outstandingly decorated rooms and decor using gorgeous Costa Rican woods. The tea in the afternoon and the breakfast in the owner's suite is like nothing you've seen before. Great food and breath taking views. The hospitality was second to none.
1/11/2017
Amazing place! Rooms were so nicely designed- you felt like you were in the trees!
1/8/2017
Amazing hotel, only 6 private rooms. When we were there is poured non stop for 4 days with 100mph winds due to a local storm but was still awesome and highly recommended.
12/25/2016
This place was off the charts FANTASTIC. Awesome food on Dec. 25 and the fireworks were very fun and festive. We loved Jen.
12/2/2016
Jenny is an Amazing Hostess
7/30/2016
Happy Hour each day was one of the highlights of our whole trip - such fun!!
7/29/2016
This is a wonderful experience. The tree house (Neverland) was stunning and exceeded our expectations. The hanging bridges nearby was amazing rainforest. The meals were delicious, tea and drinks, hot chocolate were delicious in the cold weather. The owner was very friendly and met our every request. The million dollar views high above the rainforest was stunning.
6/16/2016
Owner and the staff are excellent. Would return to this location in the future.
6/14/2016
What an amazing place to call home! Getting to the hotel was a bit treacherous though. But once we were there Jen took great care of us.
5/12/2016
This hotel and staff exceeded all expectations. I cannot imagine a more wonderful vacation experience!
5/8/2016
The hotel was beautiful and the owners and staff were amazing. Great experience
5/3/2016
This was our favorite place on the trip.
4/20/2016
Jen was super accommodating. The dessert and breakfast she served was amazing. Room was great. BEST PLACE TO STAY!
4/11/2016
Fabulous! The staff, the view, the location, the food! So special to surprise my daughter with birthday balloons and a cake and song! Very wonderful. slight issue with a squirrel trying to eat into our treehouse, but we told them in the morning and it was fixed when we returned from our days adventure.
3/24/2016
This place is AMAZING! I am so glad that Gretchen suggested it. We had no idea what to expect and it exceeding any thoughts we might have had. Our son and I both took turns being sick so that took away from enjoying every moment. Jenn is great at giving help, advice, etc and was so helpful in our sickness. She helped in ordering in food, getting a taxi, and anything we needed. She is friendly and efficient. The food was amazing and we all loved tea time! This is a place that will be a favourite in our minds when we think of travel and we absolutely recommend it!!!
3/5/2016
Beautiful hotel. Jane King is super organized and loves being a terrific hostess. Her staff, especially Gio are kind, informative and make the stay extra special. Cocktail hour is wonderful. Really enjoyed the Monteverde area.
2/29/2016
What more can be said about this place. We very. Much appreciated that your agency was agreeable to us cancelling a booked guided bird trip so that we could depart on a trip a bit later in day, not missing breakfast which is a highlight of the day, but also allowing us to go out with Koke who is an amazing naturalist and birder.
2/28/2016
An amazing experience to be hosted by Jenn and staff.
2/18/2016
Great hotel !!
2/9/2016
Unfortunately, it was blustery the entire time we were in Monteverde, but the essence of the hotel, the staff, Jen, and others staying there made the experience rather homey. My 19 year old nephew would have liked more adventure, but I respect Koki's decision that hikes were too dangerous....especially, after talking to a couple that went hiking and talked about how dangerous it was. They watched a tree fall right near them and had to go off the path (watching every step for dangerous animals). The hotel staff as so accommodating and recommended a wonderful(!) coffee/cocoa/sugar cane tour. And, the animals that we couldn't see in the wild, we were able to see behind glass at the frog museum and butterfly museum. I toured with your guidebook in hand and I must say tHat EVERY species that we saw, it was identified in your brochure!!!
1/21/2016
Jen the owner was very pleasant, knowledgable and accommodating. A great fun happy hour/tea time. The staff really was really professional and friendly. Spectacular sunsets.
12/27/2015
The BEST part of the trip. Excellent in every way.
12/22/2015
Gorgeous setting for this super special experience.
12/4/2015
I like that they had guides for us. It was outstanding
12/4/2015
This is a once in a lifetime experience. I will go back. Then it will be a twice in a lifetime experience and I'll be very lucky. Spectacular setting. Very attentive staff. Delicious breakfast. I will be saying that about every place we stayed.
8/18/2015
Enjoyed this place so much!!!!! Would highly reccomend this location, Food was exceptional!!!! We were upgraded to a two bedroon two-story treehouse WOW!!!! Jen was a remarkable hostess!!!!!!!!!
8/10/2015
Best place we've ever stayed. Jen and her staff are fantastic and provide superb customer service. The treehouses are stunning as are the property grounds. We can't wait to return.
8/10/2015
Far and away the best "hotel" we have stayed at anywhere in the world (and Nayara is in that category of beyond-expectations wonderful, too). Impeccable lodging; incomparable staff; unrivaled hospitality. Can't wait to return!
7/31/2015
Very unique accommodation with a gorgeous view, fabulous staff, owner spent time getting to know us and make fabulous recommendations for meals and excursions. Definitely making recommendations to friends and family to stay there.
7/28/2015
The owner Jen was very friendly and her staff was subperb.
7/28/2015
This was the highlight of our trip. Absolutely wonderful
7/28/2015
This was absolutely my favorite part of the trip and I am already trying to figure out a way to go back to Hidden Canopy. Even though we did not have great weather, Hidden Canopy was wonderful in every way
7/21/2015
The best accommodation, excellent staff, service..Bravo!!
7/21/2015
Great views!
6/22/2015
Jenn is the owner and creator and is very proud of her units, as she should be! Great family atmosphere! Be sure you make it up on cloudy days to see the rainbows!
6/20/2015
Jen and her staff were amazing! I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for some peace, some adventure, and some great sangria!
6/15/2015
Jenn was a wonderful hostess and her property is gorgeous. When we come back to CR we WILL be staying with her for a few nights.
6/12/2015
Fantastic place. Jen and staff were excellent. Breakfast and happy hour were delicious and very well presented.Their guide, Koky, is the standard by which guides should be measured as we went on two tours, a night hike and another the next day with him. Thank you for booking us here. This was a truly outstanding time.
6/12/2015
Great experience. Great guide there.
6/12/2015
The ONLY place to stay at when you are in Monteverde. Hidden Canopy Treehouse is like your home away from home but even better! This is a truly special place and a large part of that is due to "Mama Jen".
Owner Jen King welcomes you into her home and her family while you stay at this property. She wants you to love Monteverde as much as she does and that shows in every detail and aspect of this property.
Daily Happy Hours are held in the main house from 5-6pm where you can have your choice of beverage and a delicious home made dessert. This gives everyone staying in the Treehouse a time and place to meet and chat about what they did that day or would recommend etc. It creates a family environment while on vacation.
Being a huge animal lover I was thrilled with the onsite pets since I was missing mine (2 cats and 1 dog). There were also more hummingbirds on property than I could ever hope to count and see in one place.
Mama Jen takes a personal interest in all her guests and will take your itinerary in her capable hands and suggest what she knows will work for you.
I can not wait to see what she does with Avalon and Kings Landing (Her next projects) and I cant wait to return in the future.
6/5/2015
The best place where we stayed in our 13 days in Costa Rica.
Very personalized care by Jennifer King and her staff, and she took time out of her schedule to spend with us in the evenings for Tea time.
Rivendell tree house was superb, with views all the way to the Gulf of Nicoya, expansive views of the cloud forest and the bedrooms nestled in the midst of the trees.
My son was sick on the day we arrived there and the staff took extra care of us and we did not have half the trouble that we may have encountered elsewhere.
Highly recommended!!!
5/27/2015
Fantastic
5/12/2015
I could add nothing you do not already know about this wonderful, beautiful, friendly place.
Arenal Springs could take some lessons from Hidden Canopy.
5/12/2015
I can't tell you how amazing this hotel was. We felt so welcomed the minute we arrived. Bags were taken care off, drinks were severed and staff made us feel very special. I especially liked the fact that tipping wasn't supposed to be done every time we went into the main house or every time staff came to our room. Jennifer said that if we wanted to leave a tip, we could leave it at the end. We left $140 for our three nights there and thought it was well worth it.
5/9/2015
After the drive from La Fortuna this was an oasis and Jen and Alex and staff were nothing short of fantastic. Had no trouble complying with the house rules of daily cocktail and "eat dessert first". Room was the best we experienced throughout our stay and the bed was super comfortable. Liked the cool nights and breakfast was really nice. Owner Jen really made us feel at home. Would request to spend more time here in the future - a day to just relax and do as little as possible. We really enjoyed our stay here.
5/4/2015
Best place of any we went to, the location was outstanding, the views were unlike anything I could have expected, Jen was the perfect host and I felt completely coddled. I've never had service so personal and personable. Never experienced anything like it, may never again!
5/2/2015
This was the best place we stayed. It was amazing. Jenn and her staff were incredibly accommodating with everything down to the smallest detail. We would definitely stay here again.
4/19/2015
Can't say enough good about this place. The loading was perfect, Jenn and her staff were beyond any expectations. We used Jenn's guides - Koky and Roy - and did a night tour as well as the cloud tour. I would always recommend these guides for knowledge and super nice people. We also did the San Luis Coffee tour which I found very interesting and well worth the trip. The roads are bumpy and rough but well worth all the trips.
3/16/2015
far exceeded my expectations!!
3/13/2015
The owner was very helpful with all requests.
2/28/2015
all we can say is Fantastic place!
2/5/2015
Jennifer was excellent and really had her act together as the proprietor of a hotel. She just seemed to have all the bases covered all the time. Only problem with room was that it had no closets, but we adjusted.
1/31/2015
if I could rate this location higher than a 10 I would have, this was perfection!
1/31/2015
Jenn and her staff were awesome! It started out right with welcome drinks and a cozy atmosphere. The breakfasts here were delicious. Happy hour with drinks, snacks and desserts were perfect. We had a blast. Our tree house was wonderful with a great koi pond and garden area. Fabulous sunsets and rainbows.
1/26/2015
Jen makes sure that the guests feel at home!
1/24/2015
Great Great place. Jen and her staff are the best!!
1/24/2015
Amazing property with amazing hostess and staff! Can't wait to return!
1/21/2015
This is the most special of special places. The view is great; the hummingbird feeders are great. The water flows and koi pond are peaceful. The staff is fantastic. The food is superb. But the best part is owner Jenn. She goes out of her way to make sure everything is just right. I highly recommend this. Each room is unique and our Rising Sun room was spacious.
1/7/2015
Absolutely amazing place.
11/8/2014
Jen and Hidden Canopy were fabulous! Night tour with Koki was amazing.
