Excellent place! Clean, plenty of room and the backyard was beautiful with steps down to the river. It was perfect for our stay in the rainforest. There is no dryer, you have to hang dry clothes. I had missed that and wasn’t really prepared for no dryer. Host was friendly and answered questions I had about the area. One of the better places we have stayed.

Fantastic home in a good location. The outside area was amazing...we enjoyed eating and relaxing there. The host was amazing as well (and daughter Pamela as well)...one of the nicest families we have ever met. The house provides a true Costa Rican adventure with some of the indoor and outdoor creatures that come with it. We loved it!

This is the cutest property. The outdoor area brought a lot of family time. We loved it. The area was so clean and the sound of the creek was soothing. My only suggestion would be to provide an additional trash bag and paper towels a family of six went through a lot very quickly. Thank you for sharing your home!

The entire process from reserving, to check in and check out was seamless. We were in town for 1 evening and the house met all our expectations. Very clean and accommodating for our group of 6 ( consisting of 3 adults and 3 kids). Short drive to town and restaurants and supermarket.
