The best family vacation ever
We came to Puerto Rico for a family vacation. It was my husband and I along with 3 young adult family members. I cannot say enough about how beautiful this place is. When you wake up in the morning to the sunrise and the clouds above the mountain you feel like you are in another world. The heated pool was perfect for swimming anytime of the day. Jose and Christine are the nicest hosts I have ever had. They were in contact before we arrived to make sure we had directions and answered any questions. Once we arrived, they gave us many ideas and options for restaurants and activities around the island. My daughter went on a horse riding excursion arranged by them, which she said was in the top 10 experiences of her life. The next day Jose and Christine took us to a local watering hole with a waterfall that was like no where I have ever seen. Hanging out with them was like hanging out with friends from home. The house has so many porches and areas you can relax and see beautiful views of the mountain. Do not miss the opportunity to stay in this home. It is a 10/10 experience. One of our daughters has special needs, and they were so accommodating to helping us plan activities that she could enjoy as well.

A Peaceful Retreat with Beautiful Views and Great Potential
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this peaceful mountain retreat. The journey to the property involves some winding roads, but the breathtaking views upon arrival made it worthwhile. The natural surroundings and vibrant flora provided a perfect backdrop for relaxation.Our sons were thrilled with the horseback riding experience, and we appreciated the advance notice regarding the need for prior riding experience. The hosts, Jose and Christine, are actively enhancing the property, including developing the stables and surrounding area.The heated outdoor pool offered a relaxing way to unwind while taking in the scenery. Inside, the spacious layout, pool table, and well-stocked kitchen added to our comfort.While the kitchen and bathrooms are functional, they could benefit from some updates. Additionally, the twin bedroom had some clutter in the closet, and the mattresses were less comfortable than expected.Overall, we had a wonderful time and believe that with continued updates and organization, this property will become an even more exceptional place to relax and enjoy nature!

Perfect location with amazing views and hosts
I can’t say enough great things about this rental. The views were spectacular and if you’re okay with an hour or so drive, it’s a central location to almost everything we wanted to do. Christine and Jose were so warm and helpful, they truly made our trip that much more special. They provided tons of recommendations for spots to visit and places to eat. They always seemed to be there when we needed something but we also felt like we practically had the place to ourselves. Hoping to be back again one day.

Magical place to stay
We had the most amazing time at Jose and Christine’s house! The location was truly amazing., I can’t describe it in words and the photos can’t even do it justice ! They were such amazing hosts and were 100% available for any questions or advice . They even helped to organize a fishing outing with minimal notice for my son’s birthday. The house was perfectly maintained and everything you could need or expect was there. My family and I will remember our time there forever and we would love to return! Thank you so much!!

Little slice of paradise
Jose and Christine truly have a little slice of paradise in the mountains of Puerto Rico. The property is absolutely beautiful with gorgeous views. My entire family loved seeing the horses, the peacocks, the chickens, and the little goat. The home was a perfect size for a family of four in the pool with the beautiful sunrises were incredible. We were truly felt like we were at a home away from home and felt extremely welcomed by the hosts. They went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and greet us. They were always accessible if we needed anything. For us, two nights was perfect in order to experience the mountains of Puerto Rico and be able to fully appreciate the beauty of this island! (we did stop at a grocery store on our way there in order to have some food in our refrigerator. The kitchen was fully equipped with an oven, microwave, etc). Thank you so much Jose and Christine… we hope to see you again!

The view
The view was absolutely incredible! The drive up the mountain was also an experience in itself. Winding narrow roads but they open up in spots that would make a good photo op. However, we weren’t expecting anyone to be living at the property. But Jose and Christine were more than willing to send us Information about the area and things to do and places to go eat.

Beautiful Location
Beautiful spot in the mountains. A little tough to get to with directions. I agree that initial drive should be done there in the daytime. The pool is very clean and relaxing. The family/ hosts are wonderful people ready to help any way possible. Noise sensitive people should bring ear plugs. The chickens and peacocks wake up pretty early;) Other than that a really tranquil, lovely place.

So beautiful
House is about a 20 min drive up the mountain from Utuado. We spent our last 2 days in PR there with my husband and 3 little kids. The house is surrounded by breathtaking beauty and views of the surrounding area. Extremely quiet and peaceful. Fruit trees all around. Heated infinity pool was lovely. Beautiful stars at night. Spotted a Puerto Rican lizard cuckoo in the backyard. Easily one of the top 10 most beautiful places I’ve stayed. Hosts were just lovely. Hope I get to come back another time.

The property is truly a gem with so many fun things right on site: incredible heated pool, bar, and it sounds like more features coming soon fromJose and Christine!They are the kindest hosts I think we’ve ever had- providing so many wonderful recommendations and truly cared that we had a great visit to the island. Our only regret is we couldn’t stay longer and hang out with Jose and Christine! The drive: truly it’s not that bad. If you have no experience driving in the mountains you may be uneasy, but we’ve honestly encountered worse mountain drives in Washington and Colorado. The road may be more narrow than you are used to, and there are some blind turns- but just take it slow and you’ll be fine :)

Rainforest Bliss: A Magical Stay with Exceptional Hosts
Our family of four traveled from Indiana, USA, and stayed at this breathtaking retreat, and we couldn't have asked for a more magical experience. The views were absolutely stunning—so surreal and ever-changing that we often found ourselves just staring in awe. It truly felt like we were perched in a treehouse, high in the rainforest canopies, surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing sounds of nature.The location was perfect for immersing ourselves in the beauty of Puerto Rico's mountain communities. We were deeply moved by the warmth and passion of the locals, who take such pride in their culture and heritage. Jose and Christine were exceptional hosts, going above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcome. They provided thoughtful recommendations for must-visit sites, delicious local restaurants, and shared insights about the history and traditions of the region, enriching our experience tenfold.One of the highlights of our trip was when Jose & Christine took us on an exclusive adventure to a secluded, Eden-like swimming hole deep in the jungle—something only locals would know about. It was a dream come true to swim under a waterfall and plunge from a rope swing into the crystal clear water.If you're looking for a getaway that combines stunning natural beauty, cultural immersion, and the hospitality of hosts who feel like old friends, look no further. This stay was everything we dreamed of and more!

Just awesome
The property itself is amazing. You could spend a few days just exploring the grounds and orchard. It's secluded enough where you can leave the world behind if you want to, but there is plenty do eat and do within a short drive. There is a fabulous bakery and also an amazing restaurant within a few minutes drive. The property owners and hosts, Jose and Christine, are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. They were always available to answer every silly question I had, and were invaluable in giving us guidance and insight that only a local would know. We felt we were leaving friends as we left the house on the last day, and are already talking about our return trip.

An adventure getaway of a lifetime
Our family had an incredible time and experience at Jose and Christine’s beautiful home. For the property itself, we enjoyed the breathtaking views, relaxing pool, and animals. For adventures and excursions in Utuado, we were blessed with Jose and Christine’s in depth knowledge and love of the island, access to some of the most amazing hikes, caves, waterfalls, and swimming holes, and our girls were over the moon with the experience of horseback riding with Jose through the mountains. It was clear that our safety, comfort, and enjoyment were taken into primary consideration when planning and guiding us on the offered tours. They made everything comfortable and it felt like a partnership. We will never forget these times, and will always have the photos and videos to go back to, thanks to Jose and the GoPro footage he offered to capture. Christine is a complete badass, and Jose is so much fun to be around. Highly recommend if you are looking for both relaxation, natural beauty at every turn, and as much adventure as your heart seeks. We are so appreciative of the memories and experiences we had.

Absolute paradise!
Jose and Christine were wonderful hosts! Not only did they show us around several local rivers, bars, and restaurants, but we also felt fortunate they shared their slice of paradise with us. The views from this place (and from the infinity pool!) were to die for. We were able to visit their peacocks and horses alongside the house. They shared so much rich history about PR as well, which definitely enriched our first visit to PR. This mountain retreat (and it's hosts) were the highlight of our trip, which included Old San Juan and Rincón. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We came as renters but left as friends.😊

An experience of a lifetime!
We adored our stay with Christine and Jose. In particular we loved the stunning views from the property, the beautiful outdoor spaces (bar, fire table, gorgeous pool that is heated so our kids could play in it for hours) and the location (remote in the hills with a farm, fruit trees, horses etc.). Being there felt like a truly unique experience and it felt like we got to experience real puerto rico life for a couple of days. We also went on a tour with Jose and Christine and I couldn't recommend it enough. It was the highlight of our boys' trip. We did everything from exploring a cave to cliff jumping, to swimming to a waterfall. All of it was done in a very local and non-touristic way. It was incredible. They even took us to a very cool local bar where we got to meet the owners. All of it was so well put together. It felt like we were just out for the day with two friends for an amazing adventure. My only constructive criticism would be that the unit likely needs to be updated soon. The space is in need of a deep clean and some updating, and the dishes and pots need to be replaced. However, this was a very small thing when taking into account how extraordinary everything else was. Jose and Christine are a pleasure to deal with and we loved spending our time with them. They were amazing with our kids and really made the experience feel special for them.
