  • We had a great time here. The cabin is beautiful, and extremely well maintained. It overlooks Lake Arenal, and provides a great backdrop for some incredible sunsets! I had never rented from VRBO, and wasn't sure how the process worked. Dan was very helpful, and made the process easy. Thanks!

  • Wow ! There aren't enough words to describe the beauty of this cabina and site. Heaven on earth. The flowers, birds and the view. Simply gorgeous. The cabina itself looks like it comes from a magazine. We had a fantastic time and plan to return when possible. This is the perfect romantic getaway. Melodee

  • Staying here was a very plesant experience and we wished we had planned on staying longer. All of the amenities were just like promised. The washer and dryer were wonderful after being without one for a week. Waking up with the big open windows all around was just like sleeping outside. There was a real sense of being all alone. After a day out sightseeling it was a welcoming place to make a meal and enjoy the view of the lake from the table for two upstairs. Dan has made his place warm and friendly. Beautiful woods and and great bed!

  • This was such an amazing vacation location. We were looking for a romantic nature retreat with easy access to explore the wonders of the Arenal area. My husband and I experienced so much more than we anticipated. The property is immaculately maintained and landscaped with million dollar views. The myriad of exotic flora attracts all sorts of birds and wildlife and excites the senses in every way morning and night. The Reina De La Noche open in the evening all over the area filling the air with an intoxicating pleasantness to stargaze and spot fireflies then lull you to sleep. The hummingbirds surround the Cabina every morning - what a beautiful way to wake up! The first morning walking around the grounds, I discovered I was in hummingbird heaven with so many around me darting to and fro and hovering to check out their new neighbor. There are too many birds to mention, but the Toucan being another favorite, I am happy to say, we got a visit from them as well. We were blessed to enjoy the company of the local monkey troop for six days straight, announcing their arrival by leaping from tree to tree on their way up the mountain while we lounged in the hammock to study and enjoy them, or waking up in bed to the view out the window of the little ones playing while the adults hung out with their legs dangling over the branches. The peacefulness of being on top of the mountain with the awe inspiring views of Lake Arenal and it's surrounding countryside, sunsets and refreshing breezes, as well as the wildlife coming to us, made us feel like we never wanted to leave. We found the Cabina to be extremely inviting and comfortable and could not imagine a better setting in which to experience the nature of Costa Rica. Although there were a few quirks, this is rustic Costa Rica and they were so far outweighed by the positives, I see no point to write them lest I take up room for all the good stuff. The people of this area were very welcoming and helpful also, local and ex-pat alike. The best restaurant (food and atmosphere)for many miles is right at the driveway entrance where the chef, Eyal, applies his exceptional culinary skills and, most frequently, personal attention to his guests. He and Coryn of the Gingerbread Hotel provide superb service in accommodating guests of the Cabina as well. Within walking distance, Jeff & Beth run a kayaking tour of Lake Arenal during which you can take in the view of Volcan Arenal, in additional to their wonderful company and information on local flora and fauna. The small town of Nuevo Arenal is 5 minutes away with many restaurants and shops for supplies that met all of our needs and I cannot forget to mention the friendly faces and greetings. Overall, our choice to stay at this Cabina fulfilled all of our desires and was better than we could've dreamed of.
