Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2008
Tom and Pat visited Costa Rica for the first time in 2005, upon finding the undiscovered gem of Lake Arenal, something inside them both clicked and the spark of a dream was born. Pooling their savings they purchased property outside the town of Nuevo Arenal, with plans to build their dream home in this little corner of paradise. Breaking ground in 2007, their dream home was finished in 2008. Still a few years from retirement they decieded to share their vision of Costa Rica and began offering it to discerning renters in 2009.
Why the Owner Chose Nuevo Arenal
Our ideal in a place that we would call our home away from home had to have certain features including ease of access, tranquility, lake access, view and proximity to area tourist attractions. We found that all on the road leaving the town of Nuevo Arenal in route to La Fortuna. As an added bonus, one of the finest restaurants in Costa Rica (Gingerbread Resturant) was constructed near our home on the main road. So now we have world class dining just steps from our door, world class adventure from ten minutes to an hour away and world class nature, peace and quiet surrounding the home. All in all it adds up to a memorable vacation from our family to yours.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Privacy, peace and quiet, gorgeous landscaping, world class dining, world class adventure. Ease of access and a prime location to enjoy so much of what Costa Rica has to offer.

My husband and I stayed at Casa Lago for a month and were delighted from the moment we walked in the door. The house is charming, comfortable and well appointed. The hot tub and fireplace kept us cosy on the rainy nights and on hot days, the ceiling fans and lake breezes kept the house cool and pleasant. The master bedroom was my favourite spot since it sits high up with a full view of the lake and tree tops. Every morning we would awaken to a symphony of bird songs and the occasional whooping of howler monkeys. The house is in an excellent location to see the sights in La Fortuna or to go the other direction to Nuevo Arenal or Tileran. It is right next door to a fantastic restaurant called The Gingerbread House, where we ate on many occasions. Besides having a great menu, The Gingerbread House attracts many local residents who will give you tips and suggestions on where to go and how to find things. Make sure to meet Beth and Jeff Tinsler who will take you out for a kayak tour on the lake. The owners of Casa Lago, Pat and Tom, were most helpful in communicating with us before and during our stay at the house. The house manager, Patrick, was terrific and checked in with us to see if we needed anything but never interfered with our privacy. We would definitely recommend Casa Lago to visitors coming to Lake Arenal. This was our first visit to Costa Rica and Lake Arenal. When we come again, Casa Lago would be our first choice location. Thank you Pat and Tom!

My wife and I were looking for a spot to get away. Casa Lago was IT! Clean, comfortable, quiet, exactly what we were looking for. The area is close to La Fortuna but far enough away that the traditional tourist crowd didn't exist. Sitting out under the gazebo in the rain, watching the monkeys play in a tree across the road was lots of fun. There are plenty of local restaurants to choose from. We suggest meeting Margarita and Eloisa at their "soda" next to the football (soccer) field. If we make it back to Costa Rica Casa Lago will be the destination.
Owner response:So glad you enjoyed yourselves. You are certainly more than welcome back. Casa Lago is such a wonderful place from which to explore Costa Rica or just relax and have the Costa Rica come to you. Pura Vida

We rented this home with another couple since we were on a budget. The way the house is laid out we had no privacy or other issues. The four of us were very comfortable, and all enjoyed the home, the area’s great views, and the beautiful grounds. Our friend is a chef and cooked two great dinners in the well-equipped kitchen. This home is first class by any measurement with hot tub, LCD TV, stereo, and gas fireplace. We found it to be a terrific bargain. We plan to return here the first chance we have. Thanks for a great vacation.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our vacation and stay at Casa Lago. I particularly liked the natural beauty of the area. We took evening strolls down at the lake and I found them to be very therapeutic. I would recommend going to one of the many natural hot springs in the area. The house was very comfortable and a great place for me to catch up on my rest. My wife found the local shopping to be excellent and had no problems finding unusual gifts for our close friends and family. Ellen, my wife, has already made reservations for our next trip to this great spot in Nuevo Arenal, Costa Rica.

Jack and I have been to Costa Rica many times, but we found that the Lake Arenal area to have been our most enjoyable visit. Lake Arenal and the volcano were truly awe-inspiring. Our rental home was very comfortable and charming with nice landscaping and great views. We found the home and the area to be very quite, relaxing and private, an ideal getaway. The houses location is perfect with many good nearby restaurants and other recreational activities. In the town of Arenal, we met many interesting people; they were very helpful with recommendations for restaurants and other things to do. Jack and I recommend visiting Arenal and plan to stay at this lovely home again during the holidays.

This was our first trip to Costa Rica for my husband and I. We were pleased with the beautiful accommodations. The Lake Arenal area is a wonder of nature with all kinds of birds including toucans and parrots, an impressive active volcano and the beautiful lake and surrounding emerald mountains. My husband and I went fishing and caught several of the large local fish. There were all sorts of activities to keep us busy including kayaking, fishing, hiking and bird watching. We found the food in the nearby restaurants to be excellent. The service and the house itself were outstanding. We plan on returning to Costa Rica and purchasing a home in the Lake Arenal area.
