Monteverde sits high in the Tilarán mountains, where mist rolls through a genuine cloud forest thick with orchids, ferns and hummingbirds, criss-crossed by hanging bridges and famous for its canopy zip-lines. It has been a byword for Costa Rican eco-tourism for decades, drawing visitors specifically for the forest rather than any single sight.

Manuel Antonio, on the Pacific coast, pairs a small but celebrated national park — beaches backed by rainforest, with capuchin and squirrel monkeys often visible right from the trails — with a lively strip of hotels and restaurants along the road leading to it, making it one of the country's easiest wildlife-and-beach combinations.

Our verified stays span both regions: cabins and treehouses around Monteverde, plus a dome, a treehouse and a tiny house near Manuel Antonio — genuinely varied builds rather than a single style. December to April is the dry season and by far the easier stretch for both regions; May to November brings the rains, heaviest in the afternoons, with Manuel Antonio's coast generally drier overall than Monteverde's mountain cloud forest.

Good to know

Where are the verified stays in Costa Rica?

Around Monteverde, in the Tilarán mountains' cloud forest, and near Manuel Antonio, on the Pacific coast.

What is Monteverde known for?

Its cloud forest — mist, orchids and hummingbirds, crossed by hanging bridges and canopy zip-lines — one of Costa Rica's original eco-tourism draws.

What is Manuel Antonio known for?

A small national park combining beaches, rainforest and easily spotted monkeys, right next to a lively strip of hotels and restaurants.

When is the best time to visit?

December to April is the dry season, easier for both regions; May to November brings rain, usually heaviest in the afternoons, with the coast generally drier than the cloud forest.

How we choose what counts as a tiny house

Booking sites don’t have a “tiny house” category — they file these stays under the generic “Accommodation” label. So we check every place by name and type and list only genuine free-standing small homes: tiny houses (on wheels or fixed), cabins, glamping pods, shepherd huts, yurts, domes and tree houses. No hotel rooms, no ordinary apartments.

The atlas currently lists 2632 hand-checked small stays across 363 destinations in 75 countries — 1484 of them additionally verified through independent research with a documented source.

Prices and availability come from our booking partners and can change at any time. Booking links are affiliate links — booking through them supports this site at no extra cost to you. Property type is checked from the listing name and category; if you spot a mistake, let us know.
