From the moment we arrived and were greeted by Christine and Jose, we felt so welcome. Christine was amazing at sending information about anything and everything that we talked about. We were given all the local spots; favorite bakery, restaurants, grocery store, pharmacy etc. She even arranged for a traveling masseuse per our request. My husband and I both enjoyed one of the best massages ever out on a covered balcony overlooking the views. The apartment was perfect for us. We also had full use of the heated infinity pool which had amazing views of the mountains. My favorite part was the huge deck area. It had multiple areas to sit for morning coffee, lunch, dinner. We enjoyed using the BBQ for breakfast and the Wood Oven for making pizza. Jose was a huge help with setting up the fire pit and the wood oven for us. We enjoyed eating the pizza over a glass of wine with them both. By the end of our 3 nights /4 days trip, we felt like we were staying with family. Although, they both gave us our space and privacy whenever we wanted it. They were just so pleasant and knowledgeable about the area. The location is beautiful and has all kinds of plants. It was pretty special having a coconut plucked from the tree and drinking the coconut water within 5 minutes. We would definitely return to stay with Christine and Jose! I'd give 10 stars if I could!

Spectacular Views

As you step out of the apartment, you see an amazing view of the mountains. Early morning, as the sun peaks over the mountains, clouds are settled into the valley. The infinity pool has great views as well. Luckily, the weather was beautiful, and our hosts were able to show us some of the favorite spots near their home. The views of the drive were breathtaking!

Back to PR

Very nice property. Christine and Jose top notch. Magnificent views. Pure Puerto Rico! One caution: Give yourself time to climb the mountain to property. Mountain roads narrow and ribbon-like. However, if you make a wrong turn (and you will), Christine and Jose will help every step of the way.

The property was beautiful with views that’s you could stare at all day and truly enjoy what peace of mind is. Jose was great in showing me the area and making sure my stay was truly awesome as from the heated pool to the views that can last day and night. The surrounding places to visit for food and groceries is all very pleasant as well Jose did great in suggesting places close by from food, things to do, and really Anything you may need.

Beautiful location and great hosts

The location of the rental is absolutely beautiful and the Jose and Christine go above and beyond to make sure their guests have a great experience. They provide guided horseback rides which we greatly enjoyed - by far the most unique experience my wife and I had during our trip to Puerto Rico. Highly reccomend staying here if you have the slightest sense of adventure and want a taste of what life is like in the mountain communities.

We loved it here!

We stayed here for two nights and the inside looks exactly as pictured. The property is beautiful, the view is unbeatable, and the hosts Jose and Christine are some of the most down to earth people we've had the pleasure of meeting. They really went above and beyond with making us feel at home during our stay and even had a bunch of recommendations on stuff to do around the island! We were able to plan out one of the most memorable days I have ever had thanks to them. We were treated with the best hospitality and we really loved the pool overlooking the mountains, the views were incredible!

Remote retreat

My husband and I spent 7 nights at this remote mountain top location and loved it! This location immersed us in the Puerto Rican lifestyle. We navigated the narrow and curvy mountain roads, checked out the local eateries, groceries, and establishments recommended by the host. This location was about 1-2 hours away from south, west, or north beaches which was great for day trips. We loved the views and the pool too! If you are looking to experience the true Puerto Rican culture this place is for you!

Fantastic sunrise views through neighboring mountains and green forests were amazing. A warm pool overlooking mountain valley, grill, fire pit and bar were feet from our rental door. The star gazing from deck is stunning. Above all we loved our hosts. We have never had hosts so accommodating, friendly and resourceful. The cave tour they provided afforded us with a truly memorable experience. Recommendations for restaurants, swimming holes, beaches, hiking trails and other questions were gratefully responded to right away. Jose and Christine are the best hosts!

Magical & Spiritual Location

Once you arrive near the top of the mountain after winding through cathedrals of 100+ year old cathedrals of bamboo and lush greenery, you come upon the beautiful house. With horses across the road, chickens and the sounds of birds and coquis, you are greeted by a stunning view of the mountains of Utuado. Enjoyed the secluded and private area and breath-taking and magical only begins to describe the view. The house is comfortable and has all you could possibly need plus a gorgeous, warm infinity pool and relaxing hot tub are there for your own private use. We loved every minute of our stay and will be back again soon! The hosts are quick to respond and really wonderful people. 💛

Spectacular Views and Helpful Hosts

The views from the lodging are spectacular. There's an amazing panorama of the mountains and if not the very best view from a pool and hot tub on the island, it has to be in the top 5. The outdoor spaces at the unit are fantastic. It's about a 20-25 minute drive from Utuado on paved roads using highway 111 as the main road. The location is very quiet. The unit was spotless and the bedroom AC worked well. The hosts responded very quickly and were friendly and accommodating with many suggestions about the area. We arranged horseback riding with them and that worked very well and they arragned the outing so my husband could visit his family. The hosts definitely care about you having a good time, and we will definitely stay there again next time we are in the area.

Beautiful Sunrises & Gracious Hosts

Breathtaking Mountain Views. Inspiring Sunrises. Serene Nightly Frog Symphony. The BEST Hosts! The hosts live on-site, which was enjoyable and helpful. Highly recommend going on excursions with them. We had the best day at spots we would not have found on our own. Jose was a gentlemen helping us from rock to rock on extreme hiking trails, and was kind to our nervous souls when driving on mountain roads by slowing down and waving the locals to pass (which he did naturally without being asked). We enjoyed their company on a full day of activities from 8am to midnight! Unfortunately, we got some rain during our stay and we're looking for things to do. They found a massage therapist, who lived an hour away, to come and give us massages in our suite. I think they would do anything to give their guests the best experience. I would return to Puerto Rico just to visit them!

A Magical Place in the Mountains of Utuado

I was excited to get out of the city and into the mountains because I love the landscape and people out in the country. What I found with Jose and Christina is that they were 100% country hospitality. This lovely couple took the time to lead me to the property, introduce me to their friends, and even find the best excursion so I could feel like I was right back home in nature. I also felt right at home at their place, which is situated in what feels like heaven! I stayed on the deck in daylight and moonlight because it was just so beautiful to take in the mountains while listening to the coquí symphony. If you like making new friends like I do, then I highly recommend you take them up on the offer to hanguear. We went into town together and visited their local spots and I had an amazing time getting to know Utuado and the wonderful people who live there. I already let them know I will be back with my family in tow. I give their home and hospitality my highest recommendation! Hasta la próxima vez!

Epic views and amazing hosts at La Posada Mountain Retreat!

La Posada Mountain retreat was an amazing, relaxing experience with epic views from the property. Our hosts Jose and Christine were amazing and very helpful in making sure we found our way there safely. A safe, quiet location and convenient parking by our unit. With picture-perfect views from the heated infinity pool, fire table, and outdoor bar area. Our unit was spacious and stocked with all the essentials. Our hosts were quick to respond and very friendly. They were close and available on the property if we had any questions. We added an optional experience to do guided day tour with our experienced hosts which we loved! They took us to places with amazing views, sites off the beaten path, took videos and photos of us and showed us their favorite hole in the wall must-see bars + favorite restaurants. We loved every place we went to and wouldn't have been able to fit it all in without their guidance. Even with sporadic rain throughout the day, Jose and Christine closely watched the radar to ensure we could see some amazing views in between. We even got to meet some friendly locals! Everyone we want was nice, laid back and welcoming. We got to visit a 200 yr. old bar called "El Ambique" a must see! A piece of Puerto Rico prohibition era history. We met the owners which made it special. Our hosts made the best of our short 2 night stay & adventure! The only thing we regret is not staying longer. This is the first VRBO that we are excited to revisit again and see more of!
