About this property

The twisted wooden house

This twisted wood house is close to several of Costa Rica’s must sees! Ten minute drive to see Tenorio Volcano National Park to see beautiful Rio Celeste waterfall. Five minute drive to Arbol de la Paz. A little over an hour drive to La Fortuna where Arenal Volcano and the free hot springs are. About a two hour drive to the coast.
If you would like a tour guide or authentic Costa Rican food cooked right there, you can hire our friend that lives nearby who speaks English and Spanish.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Very unique location in the middle of the countryside. The house is quite beautiful and kept quite clean. Amazing bird watching opportunities early in the mornings and overall a very nice experience. Be prepared for a feather rustic experience.

Unique getaway from busy city life

This is a very unique house in a very quiet and peaceful location. We only visited for 1 night so we did not get to enjoy it as much as we could have. Small miscommunication with our booking but as we went on an evening tour, things were straightened out and all was well by the time we returned. This would be a very fun place for a group of friends as there was a big field to play in, tons of beds, and a big covered communal area to play games. It's definitely a change of pace from the busier, tourist-packed area. As a small side note: be sure to stop by the nearby Árbol de la Paz. Its free and worth the stop!
