About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Elephant and the Boa! "A magical house overlooking Lake Atitlán."

In a hidden corner of the world, where silence converses with the stars, there is a two-bedroom house that looks like something out of a dream. It has a rooftop where ideas fly free like birds, and a fire pit where the flames tell stories. It’s surrounded by trees and coffee plantations that whisper secrets far from the noise—so far away that you can hear your own heart beating.
The vacation home features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and a safe.
