Great place!

The property was very pleasant and clean, with beautiful outdoor space. We loved the location - removed from the hustle and bustle of the town but close enough to get there and to surrounding activities easily. Management was very responsive to any issues or questions. Would definitely stay again.

Property was calm, quiet and peaceful. It had ac which made it comfortable to be during warm humid climate. The property was only minutes away from center of La fortuna where shops and restaurants were located. We had minor inconvenience with the bathroom, but host was quick to address. We had a great time at the location!

Perfect Family Getaway

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay! The cabin had everything we needed; it was close to activities and dining. We had a little trouble finding the location because we did not have the Waze App and the Pin from the VRBO website brought us somewhere else.

Great stay away from the busy streets in La Fortuna

We loved everything about our stay here. Check in was easy. The house was clean on arrival. Was stocked with everything we may need. Everything worked well including washer and dryer. The best part was the back patio and the view (when the clouds break) along with the sounds of nature. Loved the location. Definitely need a car if staying here but a short 5-10 minute drive and you are in the heart of La Fortuna. I would definitely stay here again!

LaFortuna Cabin

It was a great place to experience LaFortuna. It was close enough to enjoy the restaurants and shops downtown without having to deal with traffic and noise. There were plenty of nearby soda's that were also delicious. It was only a short drive to the Waterfall and the hot springs.

This little house was all we were expecting. The home was clean and well stocked. The management was very quick with communication. The neighborhood was quiet. The back yard offers a nice view of Arenal volcano.

Beautiful home in a great area

The cabin style home was amazing, I stayed with my 3 kids for almost a week. The home was very equipped in the bathroom and kitchen. I cooked 1-2 times a day and had al the utensils and tools needed for the kitchen. The size of the area was perfect. The views were amazing. It felt like home for us. The kids explored the surrounding of the home. The prize was more than worth it as the home was great. The hosts were also really communicative. I had trouble getting there and they responded to me immediately. They even told me the fruit trees the property has and I could grab from it. I will for sure stay in the same house next time I’m in the area.

The actual house was wonderful, but the neighbors were awful! The kitchen had everything you would need. We enjoyed having coffee on the back bench and waking up with the view of the volcano and the beautiful cows and horses on the property behind the house. It is a short drive to any activity you'd like to explore. La Fortuna is such a cute town. We spent Friday night in town, and they had free painting under the pavilion for kids. We had such a great time at the hot springs, and the La Fortuna Waterfall is a MUST! Magical.The rating is lower because of the neighbors! We had to endure a party two nights in a row of awful karaoke with the speakers at full volume pointed toward the house. This lasted until 2 am. The host of the house did everything he could to try to help, with no luck. So again, I feel awful giving a lower rating because this is not the fault of the owner, but I would want to know this information before booking!

A few minutes out town, which was nice. Good a/c, which was needed in the hot, humid climate. Felt like we were locals, not tourists.

Just lovely. Host was helpful - providing lots of ideas for things to do, places to eat. House was a perfect size and in the perfect location. We made breakfast a few mornings - the kitchen was all stocked and easy to use. Everything is so close and easy to access from this home. La Fortuna is magical - we will be back.

Wonderful accommodations

This place was great. The AC worked well, and it had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, and we all got a good night's sleep.The only complaint I heard is there isn't enough seating in the living area for watching movies. The backyard was big and lots of birds spent time there. We did not see any other animals, but we were only there 3 nights.I would stay there again if I'm ever in the area.

great spot if you have a car

We enjoyed our stay, the house was clean and had everything that we needed. It was not a location that you could walk to many places from so we would highly recommend that you have a car if you are going to rent this house.

Perfect place to stay in La Fortuna!

This place was so amazing. It had all of the comforts of home, was nice and quite in a great neighborhood. It was close enough to participate in all of the tourist attractions and far enough away to give us the experience of living in the area. It was a great addition to our "Moving to costa Rica Exploration ".

Volcano view with birds

The cabin was so cozy. It is a easy drive to get to town for groceries or a meal out but also far enough out to be immersed in nature. We had everything we needed and more. I definitely hope to stay here again the next time I am in the area. Pura Vida!
