I am going to be very honest here. I don't enjoy leaving a bad review, but this needs to be addressed. First of all, it ...

We had a most amazing time at gem of a place. We loved company of Mrs Marisel and Anyara. We had breakfast with them everyday. Josh took us for a night frog tour and had amazing knowledge. It was amazing hard work and love he put together in the property. You need a car to get to this place but its worth a try. There is a beautiful private forest behind the house where there are several birds who come during the morning (including at least three tocans), there are also atleast one or two sloths living around in that area but we did not see them. Marisel fed the birds like her babies during the breakfast time. A most amazing adventure, very different than you ever encounter anywhere in costa rica. There art and love of nature in the air. Highly recommend to all travellers. Good luck and hope someday we see you again.

A hidden gem

What a great find! This little oasis is like a mini nature preserve with its own nature trails, ponds with really cool frogs, birds, fruit trees and an abundance of native plants and trees. The family live on the property and add a fabulous Tico experience with their hospitality of breakfast in their outdoor kitchen, nature walks, and fire side chats. Spending time with the family was one of our favorite memories of our trip to Costa Rica. We definitely could have stayed longer. It is about 30-40 minutes to most of the tours in La Fortuna so be mindful of this when planning your adventures.

Costa Rica vacation

The best thing was the host and her family wonderful people who are passionate about the flora and fauna and share that passion with their guest. The grounds around the house are beautifully kept and have all kinds of wildlife there. The son Jefferson will take you on a night frog tour which was awesome and very informative. The house was very clean and good for a large group. Would definitely recommend.

Like being part of the family in a rainforest paradise

This property is stunning... even better in person than it appears in the listing. It feels like authentic Costa Rica... surrounded by lush jungle. The beautiful original art was all painted by a family member. The best part of this rental, however, is the people... They made us feel completely at home in their beautiful home. They cooked us Tico breakfast in their open-air kitchen. They showed us around their gorgeous property. They taught us about the medicinal plants they are cultivating. They cut open coconuts for us. They let us hold the exotic frogs they are working to protect. They taught us about their history... They made us feel like family. We love them and can't wait to return.

Highlight of our trip

We only stayed at this property one night, but wish we had stayed longer. Staying here was one of the highlights of our entire trip to Costa Rica. The house is amazing- clean, beautiful (with handcrafted carpentry work and painted walls). The property that the house is located on is beautiful. The hosts are some of the nicest people that we’ve met on our trip. The gave us a free night tour of their property and showed us the amazing frogs that they have. We even got to hold one of the ones with 7 colors. For an additional cost, we got to eat an amazing Costa Rican breakfast with them in their outdoor kitchen and dining room. If you are hesitant to book this location, don’t be. It’s amazing.
