Location: Ensenada, Chile, South America (Fly Fishing,Hiking & Horseback Riding in Lake District)

Accommodations:  House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 6)

In the foothills of the Andes, come be charmed by this architect designed La Casa de Vistas Divinas, "The House of Divine Views", a beautifully decorated, three bedroom, two bath home with Chilean woods, cathedral ceilings, and huge picture windows overlooking the panoramic, snow-capped volcanoes of Mount Osorno, Puntiaguido, and Calbuco. The only sounds are the birds, the river, and the waterfall. The walls are decorated with original oil paintings featuring artists from Argentina and Chile. Most of the furniture has been designed and made by local craftspeople.

This home has all the modern conveniences of an American home. There is the fully-equipped kitchen with hand painted Portuguese tile, dishwasher and all the plates, utensils, and cooking ware necessary to create a delicious meal from the locally available Chilean produce or a fish (trout or salmon) that you might have caught in the nearby rivers and lakes. The home also features central heating, screened windows, washer and dryer, indoor jacuzzi, outdoor hot tub, large patio with outdoor dining, DVD player/stereo, and an outdoor adjacent quincho “typical Chilean barbecue pavilion."

The master bedroom, with a high quality king-size bed, looks out towards the snow-capped Volcan Osorno. There is a large walk-in closet and private bath. The two downstairs bedrooms, which share a large bath with an indoor jacuzzi, feature a double bed, and two twin beds (which can also be converted into king-size.) The bed linen is all 100% cotton, high thread count. The pillows and duvets are made from wonderful Chilean down.

In the evening, the large river rock fireplace will beckon you to open a bottle of Chilean wine while you gather to exchange stories of the day's adventures. There is Internet Access so you can keep friends and family informed about the events of your explorations around Ensenada, which is considered one of the top eco-tourism destinations of the Lake District. Adventures could include:

Hiking in the nearby Vicente Rosales National Park, river rafting on the Petrohue River (the Petrohue waterfall is one of the most photographed waterfalls in the world), climbing Volcan Osorno (a 30 minute drive to the Osorno ski lift) or Calbuco (which is right out your back door), horseback riding, fly fishing in your own private river, windsufing on Lake Todos Los Santos, mountain biking and birdwatching, canopy rides, paddling a kayak down the Ralun Bay, or canyoning through the gorges of Rio Blanco.

Day trips can include a visit to Chiloe Island, the Angelmo native crafts market, boutique shops, and large shopping malls in Puerto Montt, the historic towns of Fruitillar and Puerto Octay, the spa at Puyehue, and Alerce Andino National Park. The casino and the variety of excellent restaurants in Puerto Varas (especially La Cucina D’Alessandro, offering authentic Italian cuisine) makes for a fun evening experience. Even closer, only 15 minutes from the house, you can dine at the five star Latitude 42 restaurant in the Yan Kee Way Lodge in Ensenada or at the Hotel Petrohue restaurant on the banks of Lake Todos Los Santos.

Overnight excursions to Bariloche and Villa La Angostura just over the border in the Argentinia Andes are easily arranged. Ensenada is embarkation point for the famous Andean lake cruise crossing from Chile to Argentina.

Or perhaps you would just want to relax on the terraza in an Adirondack chair with a good book while you watch a native Chilean hawk soar gracefully above, or take a nap in the hammock under the Ulmo trees. The hawks visit the yard at dawn and dusk in search of an occasional scrap of leftover meat. If you are lucky like many have been, you may get a glimpse of the rarely seen Pudu, the adorable indigenous dwarf deer of Patagonia. The surrounding yard and gardens have been designed and planted to the owner’s specifications and include many beautiful trees and flowers that are the delight of the local species of hummingbirds.
The home is set in the middle of an old growth Valdivian rain forest but within a natural clearing that offers spectacular views of the surrounding volcanoes. Let the majesty of the volcanoes seduce you into a state of sublime and spiritual relaxation as you soak in the Jacuzzi on the terraza.

After a colorful sunset, gaze at the entire Milky Way, the Southern Cross, and other constellations of the Southern Hemisphere. The absence of light pollution creates optimal viewing to the center of the galaxy.

Your comfortable, magical, Chilean vacation rental home is just a click away.

  • House of Divine Views is the perfect place to stay if you would like to explore the Ensenada/Northern Patagonia area of Chile. The house is set against the jaw-dropping view of Volcano Osorno and makes for a magical and peaceful experience. The house itself feels wonderful and has obviously been created with a special touch. My partner and I explored Chiloe Island, Cochamo, Petrohue River, Lake Todos Santos, and Puerto Varas during our stay. Every evening we would return to make a wonderful dinner in the complete kitchen and drink wine under the stars in the hot tub. Waking up to the sunrise with Osorno out the window made us feel like we were dreaming. We LOVED our stay! Thank you Marian for creating such an amazing place for the world to share! Sincerely, Gwendolyn Wyard

  • Laura and I were guests at the "House of Divine Views" at the end of December 2007 through early January 2008. We had never been to Chile so going to Southern Chile was an adventure. What can you say about an accomodation that is spectacular in all ways possible -- quiet solitude, visually stunning (Mt. Osorno, the streams, the overlook not far from the house and the house itself were all breathtaking), fresh air, pure glacier fed water, wildlife and nice local people. Waking up in the morning with Chile's largest volcano as the first thing you see, a complete fully stocked kitchen with some of the basics already there for your use, great Chilean wine and on and on. House of Divine Views is for those among us who are comfortable with the sound of their inner voice and yet open to the spirit and wonder of unspoiled natural beauty. Will we return? Absolutely! Was it worth the trip? Well, it's hard to price a small piece of heaven on earth, but "The House of Divine Views" certainly has our vote.

    Dear Marian, I just wanted to tell you that we had a fantastic time at your home in Chile. It is a beautiful, comfortable home and the name fits it perfectly. Each day we had a different excursion to one spectacular place after another. What a joy to open our eyes to the colorful sunrise over Osorno from our divinely comfortable bed. We loved the fire in the evenings, it was so romantic and the starry shy was so clear. I even found the Southern Cross. Our friends joined us towards the end of our stay and what a barging when you split the house between a few couples. We all loved it when they showed up with the horses at our back door to go for our ride across the river and up to the plateau which offered us such great views of the lake and the surrounding area. The waterfall above the casa is so beautiful and dramatic. Thanks for shearing, Elizabeth Noetzel Kamuela, Hi

    The visit to Chile was excellent. We enjoyed every part of it and you are right in saying that it is a beautiful country. I wish to thank you for making our stay in Ensenada so great. The accommodations were excellent and the location allowed us to travel where we wanted to go.
