Property was as described. It is a ways out of town, so you do need transportation to get to restaurants and activities. But it has a lovely yard to have morning coffee or star gazing at night. On Saturday night, the neighbors were noisy, but they're younger people and that's to be expected. It was quiet the rest of our stay. I would recommend good earplugs if you're sensitive to sound, like me. The birds wake EARLY, and an eye mask was helpful because it gets bright early too. Had all of the amenities we needed.

The property was very pleasant and clean, with beautiful outdoor space. We loved the location - removed from the hustle and bustle of the town but close enough to get there and to surrounding activities easily. Management was very responsive to any issues or questions. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect Family Getaway

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay! The cabin had everything we needed; it was close to activities and dining. We had a little trouble finding the location because we did not have the Waze App and the Pin from the VRBO website brought us somewhere else.

Property was calm, quiet and peaceful. It had ac which made it comfortable to be during warm humid climate. The property was only minutes away from center of La fortuna where shops and restaurants were located. We had minor inconvenience with the bathroom, but host was quick to address. We had a great time at the location!

LaFortuna Cabin

It was a great place to experience LaFortuna. It was close enough to enjoy the restaurants and shops downtown without having to deal with traffic and noise. There were plenty of nearby soda's that were also delicious. It was only a short drive to the Waterfall and the hot springs.

Great stay away from the busy streets in La Fortuna

We loved everything about our stay here. Check in was easy. The house was clean on arrival. Was stocked with everything we may need. Everything worked well including washer and dryer. The best part was the back patio and the view (when the clouds break) along with the sounds of nature. Loved the location. Definitely need a car if staying here but a short 5-10 minute drive and you are in the heart of La Fortuna. I would definitely stay here again!

Perfect place to stay in La Fortuna!

This place was so amazing. It had all of the comforts of home, was nice and quite in a great neighborhood. It was close enough to participate in all of the tourist attractions and far enough away to give us the experience of living in the area. It was a great addition to our "Moving to costa Rica Exploration ".

Volcano view with birds

The cabin was so cozy. It is a easy drive to get to town for groceries or a meal out but also far enough out to be immersed in nature. We had everything we needed and more. I definitely hope to stay here again the next time I am in the area. Pura Vida!
