It was a great fit for our family. Beautiful view and we were able to see Toucans. Walking distance to a cute little restaurant. Neighbors were very friendly and helpful. Host was super helpful with suggestions of where to get groceries, food and with excursions. My only suggestion is to make sure you have a 4 wheel drive vehicle.

The house was simply amazing and our host was helpful, communicative and went above and beyond to ensure a good stay. The photos do not do justice to the inside of the home and it's cleanliness. The location is remote enough that you feel like a local and can get out of the crowds and hustle or La Fortuna, but close enough to get to activities in a timely manner. The home was well stocked with clean towels and bedding and the rooms and amenities were just as described, yet better!I cannot recommend this property enough. We were only a family of three but could easily have invited several friends. Perfect for large families!

Beautiful home with gorgeous views

Beautiful views of the lake and surrounding area. The property was well maintained and very safe. It had a well stocked kitchen and plenty of towels for showers and poolside. Plenty of room for gathering inside and out. The pool and hot tub was a welcomed addition. Private balconies for each bedroom. It was absolutely amazing!

Beautiful location over seeing the landscape, volcano and lake. We enjoyed everyday of our stay. Great location, enjoy the pool everyday. The rooms were very nice and had ac, fortunately we didn’t need to really use them. Sliding doors made it nice to open and get natural air to come in and flow throughout the house. Great hot water and pressure. Loved this place…

Such a beautiful hidden gem - incredible views of Lake Arenal, the volcano and the lovely grounds, including resident toucans in the trees!Jim’s home is perfect for a family or a group, with a pool and multiple balconies overlooking the property, lots of space to stretch out and kitchen amenities for making meals. Stephanie, the caretaker, lives next door and was incredibly responsive when we needed help. The home is very secure and quiet - the perfect oasis close to the Arenal National Park, hot springs and other adventure activities. It has a more remote feeling than staying in La Fortuna, so is perfect for those looking to get away from the typical tourist hot spot. Jim was incredibly communicative and had loads of great resources to share. The road up to the home can feel intimidating, but the views once there are more than worth it.

Great property and location

My wife and I stayed here with my parents and my brother and the space was perfect for us. The pool and hot tub were great and the view was absolutely breathtaking. The road up the hill to the property can seem a little intimidating at first but it's really not bad at all. The location is nice and secluded and close enough to La Fortuna without being too far. Overall we loved our stay here

Amazing

We stayed first week in March. The location and view was amazing. Beds were comfortable. Several good restaurants nearby and decent variety store for supplies at the bottom of the hill otherwise a 30 minute drive to the supermarket in Fortuna. The actual owner, Jim, is who you deal with and he was an amazing resource answering the many questions I had before coming and while there about local attractions. He provided super descriptive directions for the final part of the trip including pictures and even a video of the drive up the mountain. This came in handy when my phone ran out of power and we lost google maps use. Found the place without it easily. Didn’t really need 4 wheel drive but the extra clearance of an SUV probably helped as it is a bumpy road up the mountain but really no problem. The weather was great. Used the pool everyday. And it was nice to have Netflix and Apple Tv for the evenings. All in all we loved our stay there and would certainly stay there again if ever back in CR

Beautiful views. Could be cleaner

Although a little out of the way from a lot of the activities we did the views from the house of the lake and the volcano were beautiful. Host was very responsive and provided a lot of good information for our stay. The only criticism that I would give of the house is the overall cleanliness. The kitchen was quite dirty. It didn’t appear that the countertops had been wiped off. The table cloth was stained as well as some other linens. The pots and pans were not great for cooking although they got the job done. Body wash was provided in bathrooms but no shampoo or conditioner. Would have been nice to have some beach towels available. Would also be a bonus to have access to a washer/dryer. Easy fixes. Overall great house and host.

Beautiful home!

I hate I can’t give this a 5/5 but feel like I would have wanted to know a few things. The road to get to the house was in TERRIBLE condition. We worried if we would make it each trip back up the mountain. Host did mention during our stay it is going to be worked on soon. However this should have been disclosed prior to our trip. The house is very nice and OMG the property landscaping is to die for. It is pretty isolated and off the beaten path though. Also the beds are hard as boards. Other than that the owner was very nice and if road is in good shape I would have stayed again.

Great stay for our family

This was a great rental option in the Arenal area. Jim the owner was very communicative from beginning to end. We were greeted in person by the host who went through some details about the house and overall stay. The property is kept immaculate (which is hard to do) from the grounds to the cleanliness of the house. We appreciated the little details such as throw blankets in the lounge sofa, extra towels and blankets, ping pong table, remodeled master bathroom to name a few. Yes some of the window screens need repairing (which I’m sure is a constant task) and the wifi could be stronger but this is by far the best rental option in all of our multiple trips to this area. We were very pleasantly surprised and only wished to have been able to stay longer. Bugs were not an issue as long as we kept lights to a minimum as it is a cloud forest after all. Lastly, there are a few reviews where complaints are noted about the caretaker of the property living onsite (building across from the house). Not only was she hardly visible during our stay but she also helped do some laundry for us. We are looking forward to booking this property again next year.

Magical vacation in Costa Rica

Our vacation stay in Costa Rica was an unforgettable experience, characterized by stunning views of the volcano and fantastic amenities. The privacy we enjoyed allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the serene and peaceful environment. The local wildlife was abundant and diverse; I was thrilled to add over 25 new birds to my life list. The beautiful flowers added vibrant colors to the landscape, enhancing the overall tranquility and beauty of our surroundings. It was a perfect blend of nature and comfort, creating a truly idyllic getaway. Moreover, the location was incredibly convenient for numerous adventures. We had easy access to exhilarating activities such as ziplining, exploring the Mistico Hanging Bridges, and the fascinating frog night tour (a must do in our opinion). The charming city of La Fortuna was also nearby, offering even more opportunities for exploration and enjoyment. This perfect combination of adventure and relaxation made our stay in Costa Rica truly extraordinary.
