Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2003
I spend approximately 9 months a year living in Santa Fe, NM and the other 3 months in Guatemala where I divide my time between my lake house and my girlfriends home in Antigua. My girlfriend also rents her house in Antigua during Semana Santa (Easter) as well as other times. This is a house that I designed and built. We have a large enclosed private garden with numerous flowers, fruits and organic vegetables. We are planning to construct 2 ponds and a water fall for koi, water lilies. The garden is a great place for bird watchers! Everyone loves this place.

We loved our stay at this property! The views across Lake Atitlan are stunning and the garden was a joy. We loved to sit in the front porch quietly in the cool, misty mornings until the hummingbirds come to the beautiful tropical flowers hanging down around your head. If you sit still, they will come within inches of your face! The property was well equipped, clean and a housekeeper checked on us daily to help us with water, etc. We highly recommend a stay at this property. Also, Rico was very easy to work out details of our stay. Don't miss the hike around the shore to the next village, Jaibolito and a cup of coffee at at Han's cafe. Great German bread there, too. Also, don't hesitate to take the public boat to surrounding villages...fun rides and great exploring.
Recommended for:Adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, tourists without a car, sightseeing, families with young children.

The most amazing place! We stayed here in March of 2008. The house was beautiful, extremely well-kept, and very private. The views from the master bedroom's terrace are breathtaking. The owner, Rico, was beyond helpful and informative before, during, and after our trip. He was truly invested in our experience in Guatemala. Best vacation ever.
