Chirripó Mountain Retreat

We had a great time. Just what we needed when we decided to get away from Washington. We stayed in the Chiripo mountain home for 6 days and 5 nights. The roaring river and the sunrises and sunsets were amazing. Sitting out on the deck with coffee or wine and watching the clouds descend and later dissipate in the surrounding mountains while we watched the local wildlife was, rain or shine, an amazing experience.

Angus was very helpful with local places for food and sightseeing and was more than happy to answer all of our questions. The house was very well appointed and we didn't want for anything.

Kubla Khan hat eine phantastische Lage direkt über einem rauschenden Fluss mit Blick in den Garten, auf den Fluss und in die Berge. Es ist wunderbar, mit einem Kaffee im Schaukelstuhl auf der Terrasse zu sitzen oder in der Hängematte zu lesen. Geräuschempfindliche Menschen sollten wissen, dass das Rauschen des Flusses immer präsent ist.

Tania und Angus sind Super-Gastgeber*innen und haben uns unkompliziert mit Rat und Tat unterstützt, von Aktivitätsplanung über Gartennutzung (die Orangen sind supersüß und -saftig) bis hin zur Massagebuchung. Das Haus steht in einem entspannten Dorf mit guter Infrastruktur und sehr freundlichen Menschen. Wir kommen gern wieder!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kubla Khan Chirripo Mountain Retreat!

When stormy weather and hurricane Nate damage threatened to ruin our plans, Angus and Tania kindly offered flexibility in arrival and departure dates, but thankfully we did not need to take them up on it. I would have been sad to have missed out on even a minute of our time there -and my only regret is not spending another day or two.

The space and setting were unbelievably beautiful -even more gorgeous than the pictures. I loved sitting on the deck to the sound of the rushing river watching the birds. The nearby mountain towns were adorable and offered a couple of nice dining options, and of course cheese and chocolate! I also highly recommend a visit to Cloudbridge Reserve. We spend an enjoyable 1/2 day hiking about the various trails with vistas and waterfalls. The nearby beach town of Dominical is also an easy option if one wants to spend a day of sand and surf.

I would not hesitate to go back. Thank you for a great stay!

We spent 2 weeks in Costa Rica staying at some of the best resorts along the way. Our last stop, 3 nights at Kubla Khan, was far and away our favorite location and home. If you're looking for a peaceful place away from all the hustle and bustle of the more touristy locations this is your spot. Angus was very communicative and answered all of our questions before our stay and Marcela and Charles were just a text away whenever we had a question.

We loved hearing the rushing river and can't wait to book a stay in the summer when it is not so high. Between the garden, citrus trees and the small grocer in Cannan we were able to put together wonderful meals. The house and grounds were beautiful and we rarely felt the need to leave. We had forgotten that there was a cat on the property but what a bonus! Smokey only wandered in on occasion but we loved the visits.

Our only regret is that we waited till our last day to visit Queso Cannan and that the bakery was only open on weekends so we missed trying that. Not to worry...we'll be back!
