We had an excellent stay at the lodge and enjoyed the food a lot. You really have to take the dirt road on the right like indicated otherwise you'll go through Monterverde, it will be much longer and the road after a while won't be better.

This extraordinary family, and their sustainable farm, personify the Costa Rican principles of care for the environment and cooperation. Truly, this is Pura Vida! We didn’t rent a car and I would suggest that it would be a good idea to have wheels as the farm is somewhat remote.

A Christmas Eve to Remember at Expedia I cannot say enough about our recent stay at Rancho de Lelo Ecolodge. From the moment we booked, the host was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. They invited us to join their Christmas Eve celebration, which felt like spending the holiday with family. The food was absolutely delicious. The cozy little house nestled in the forest created a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The property was clean and inviting. It was an unforgettable experience that made our Christmas vacation truly special.

This family owned place is awesome!! We were very late getting to the hotel due to mudslides in La Fortuna. We were really tired when we got there. They brought us dinner to our room. They even fixed a flat tire for me. Very clean place and they are very accomodating to whatever you need. They have no ACbut with the windows abd door open there us enough breeze to cool your room. Cant say enough goos things about our time there.

Very beautiful family run ranch. Atmosphere was friendly and grounds were beautiful. Our only issue was the distance to town… it is a good 30 min drive and if you don’t have a car that’s $20-25 each way.

The property is beautiful and the staff is amazing. Our stay was beautiful. I would gladly stay there again. The only thing to know is the road there is a bit rough, I made it in a tiny 2W drive car though. I thought we would go back to Santa Elena for dinner but I did not want to do the drive extra, especially ar night. Good news their dinner was great and their dogs are a highlight of our stay.

Beautiful place in Monteverde. We ate there every night for dinner in addition to the included breakfast - food was better than anything you can get in town. The owners was amazing, helping us with everything we needed with coordinating our things to do while there for 3 days. Cabin was also great, spacious and clean. Would definitely recommend staying here!

We loved our two night stay with our young children (5, 4 & 2). The staff were fantastic, really friendly and welcoming and gave great advice and tips about the local area and things to do. The food was absolutely delicious at both breakfast and dinner. It had a real family vibe and felt like we were welcomed into their family too. The lodges were great, good size, and clean. They were set in a really beautiful location and we saw lots of hummingbirds and butterflies from our balcony at the room. I would highly recommend a stay here!

We loved our stay at Rancho de Lelo. Family-owned, quiet, peaceful, with beautiful surroundings and nicely appointed, clean rooms. Beatriz and her family are a delight and we felt right at home. We enjoyed watching motmots and toucans from our balcony while having coffee in the morning! Breakfast was fresh and delicious with fruits from the garden. Dinner was incredible, too! My daughter loved and dogs and my kids really appreciated the pool. Thanks for a memorable stay!

Rancho de Lelo Ecolodge is a family owned small lodge, located about 20 minutes from the main area of Monte Verde. We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay with this charming family. The National Park is only 10-15 minutes drive. The farm to table cuisine was awesome. Highly recommended.

Amazing family-run oasis!

Rancho de Lelo is a gem and makes a great base for exploring Monteverde. The Mata family are amazing hosts and the rooms and food are lovely. Would recommend a 4x4 for the drive in though!
