Rainforest Glass Cabin, El Congo, La Fortuna

Relax and enjoy the serenity of the rainforest with nature, friends, and family in our beautiful mountain cabins. Bonus, we have our own hiking trail in the rainforest leading to a natural springs swim hole.

Nestled in the rainforest on a mountain surrounded by lush gardens.
Our cabins bring the outdoors in with glass windows all around. Our cabins are spacious and designed to make you feel right at home. There are two bedrooms in the top level with a bathroom and a one bedroom suite in the lower level with its own kitchenette and bathroom. There's also another full bathroom in the outside pavilion.

You will have access to 3 acres of property including grounds, gardens, the rainforest and more than 1 kilometer of hiking trail leading to a natural water springs pool and a garden jacuzzi where you can relax and take it all in.

Our property is walking distance from El Nido del Arenal Restaurant and viewpoints, where you can admire the Arenal Volcano and take breathtaking pictures. The restaurant offers breakfast, lunch, dinner & a bar.

Cabañas Caeli is in an unspoiled rainforest area where you can hike, bike, and experience other adventure tours. A place to truly appreciate Costa Rica's flora and fauna.

You will be entertained with the congo/white faced monkeys and sloths in their natural habitat in addition to the parrots, toucans and other birds and butterflies in the area. We provide binoculars for you to easily spot our friends in nature and enjoy their presence.

We love to give our guests their space, but we can be reached at any time. I can be reached by phone, text, or email.

We're located just 15-20 minutes from La Fortuna center.

Our neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful, surrounded by the rainforest and the amazing sounds of nature, we're on top of the Santa Gertrudis mountain. Only 25 meters from El Nido del Arenal.

We're on mountainous terrain, a high vehicle, or 4x4 is required. Free parking is available on our property. You can easily catch a local cab or an Uber up to Cabañas Caeli or down to La Fortuna or wherever you're going. If you're driving, it is conveniently located and very close to everything.

This property is adjacent to the rainforest and a biological corridor. A true Costa Rican experience.

Beautiful spot and a gracious, accommodating host
Pablo was a very gracious and helpful host, which made our stay enjoyable and comfortable. The spot is beautiful, with amazing views and plenty of wildlife. The kids all loved the swimming hole and hot tub, and it was fun to cook on an open fire. The cabin was comfortable for two families (total of 9 people), and was well equipped.

Incredible
This place is just incredible. Clean, beautiful, and Pablo is so nice! My kids loved the hot tub (it’s not too hot) and laying in the hammock. Will be back soon!

Great Time at El Congo
Our family of four had a great time at El Congo. The cabin was clean and well-stocked, and the landscaping was beautiful. We enjoyed the onsite trail, the swimming hole, the hot tub, and hammock. The sights and sounds were peaceful. The soda a short walk away served wonderful local cuisine. The road in is long and very rough, but the drive was well worth it. We recommend waterfall rappelling through Pure Trek, which takes place less than a mile from El Congo. Pablo was a gracious host - we plan to come back.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful location.
We’re a family of 6 (2 adults and 4 children) who recently spent 5 nights at Cabanas Caeli. The location is beautiful, definitely recommend a 4x4 to get to the property. The property itself is stunning and was well equipped with everything we needed. Pablo and Jenny were great hosts. They responded to any questions very promptly and suggested things that the family may like to do. We enjoyed walking through their little rainforest and the hot-tub after long day! Thank you for being great hosts.

The pictures don’t do it justice
The property does not disappoint! It is an idyllic setting with the rainforest servicing as your back-door neighbor. The views are amazing and the house is perfect for a family/friends or couples to share. You are removed enough to enjoy nature, sipping coffee in the morning from the upper balcony, watching birds and butterflies flitter around the forest and gardens while the sounds of toucans fly by overhead to perch in a tree and chatter. it is a peaceful, restful place to start and end your day of adventures. The hosts, Pablo, and his wife are wonderful hosts, going above and beyond in making us feel welcome and also drove us into town on one night, The road to the Cabanas can be a bit daunting, and rustic is an understatement, but it adds to the adventure, and most drivers we used were familiar with the property. Paulo supplied a cab company contact and we were able to pre-arrange pick-up times they were always prompt. Overall an amazing time with my family and we will certainly come back. TEN Stars if I could. Thank you both for your amazing hospitality, and the personal touch with the painted rock message that did not go unnoticed. A great memento for my Sister and Brother-in-law to remember their first time on Costa Rica!

Amazing!
We stayed here in August '23 and it is really special. The property is about 3 acres, it has a hot-tub and a firepit and has it's own nature walk down to a swimming hole. The house is well equipped, A/C, good shower, and a spectacular view. Pablo is a great host. He was really friendly and the little details he had added (like a basket of fruit and fresh coffee) made it very welcoming. It's a great location to explore the Arenal area - the waterfall is definitely worth a visit (even with the 500 steps back up.) La Fortuna is close and has some great places to eat and stock up on supplies. Definitely worth visiting 'El Nido' which is within walking distance and has views of Arenal, a giant swing and we saw lots of Toucans! The last 2 KM of road to get here is not in great shape, although there is a plan to have it fixed. We had rented a 4x4 for the trip, and we were glad we did. But this place is definitely worth it. Thanks Pablo Mark & family

Book this Property!!
Absolutely incredible property! Cabanas Caeli is like your own private jungle treehouse. The pictures do not do it justice. We loved every minute of our 4 nights at this property. We enjoyed the hot tub, water hole, BBQ area, as well as bird watching. Additionally, Pablo is truly an amazing host, going above and beyond to ensure our stay was seamless. Cannot say enough great things about Pablo and Cabanas Caeli. If this property is available, recommend you book it immediately!
