We absolutely loved being immersed in the jungle, surrounded by nature! Nita and Marty have truly built a little paradise here. Incredibly responsive to communication and very helpful. Breakfasts were easily customizable and tasty. Room was clean and hosts made sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend their B&B. The road to the property is a bit challenging, so I would suggest driving to it at least the first time in the daylight.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 5-night stay and all of the activities in and around the house and region. There’s so much to recommend — where to begin? First and foremost, the owners. Marty and Nita are lovely, interesting, worldly, creative and gracious — and especially attentive and generous in their hospitality and knowledge of the area. They gave us good hiking tips, helped arrange a fantastic boat tour, and were always responsive on WhatsApp before and during our trip. Their staff were friendly and talented too, preparing delicious breakfasts at tables adorned with candles and fresh flowers overlooking a lush and gorgeous garden. We loved daily dips in the pool and hot tub, and the private dinner on our last night. An architectural and design splendor, this home is a must-stay!

If we could give 6 Stars we’d give 10. Our experience was that incredible. Marty and Nita, Mayqiel and Priscilla outdid themselves in caring for all of our needs. The rooms are amazing. The property, pool, jacuzzi, chairs, lounges, and trail to the jungle were just a part of the appeal to their place. Check-in was easy, and the daily breakfasts were so good. Oh, and let’s not forget the view of the Volcano from the pool and the view of Lake Arenal from the spa. Nothing but goodness, and the spirit of Pura Vida.

Amazing property with beautiful views and wonderful hosts.
My husband and I stayed for 4 nights celebrating his 50th birthday. The property is absolutely gorgeous and unique. The hosts Nita and Marty and so warm and welcoming. Everyday was started with a delicious breakfast overlooking their beautiful gardens and volcano views when the clouds cooperated. We did a wide variety of activities in the area from hiking to soaking in the hot springs. Best part of our Costa Rica trip by far.

This was truly and amazing place to stay! It is more of an oasis than a B&B. The room, property, expansive views, gardens and location were absolutely fantastic and we enjoyed every minute of the 5 days we stayed there. The owners are absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond to add a personal touch. Amazing homemade breakfast (included) on the veranda was a great start to each day. Highly recommended!!

Marty and Nita were amazing hosts. Their entire staff was also so accommodating. We stayed in the parrot suite and it was so cute, comfortable and the views into the wildlife and jungle were so enchanting. The breakfasts were catered to what you wanted each morning. We also had a massage ordered and they have a spa cabana that is serene and relaxing. Marty and Nita communicate and are terrific hosts.

Acerca de su propietario/a
Propietario/a: Nita Kemsley
Your hosts are Marty & Nita Kemsley. Marty is an retired Architect and Nita is a retired New Age shop owner. We are originally from California and Oregon, and we spent most of the last 3 decades living and raising our family in Salt Lake City, Utah. Nita & Marty made their permanent move to Costa Rica in 2016 and embarked on building their dream. The Encantada Guest House was completed in 2009 and has been a successful Vacation Rental since 2011. Our new Encantada Luxury Adults Only B&B project was just completed in 2020 and continues to receive rave 5 star reviews.
Por qué escogió este alojamiento
We first came to Costa Rica in 2003 as tourists and by the time we left a week later we were smitten. Nita was ready to take the plunge right then and there, Marty took a bit more convincing. We came back in 2005 for another look and by 2006, we had decided to make a giant leap into the unknown. We ended up purchasing a chunk of raw pasture land on a 6000 acre active cattle farm. No roads...no utilities...just awesome beauty and a whole lot of faith...Yeah...we were a lot younger then. Haha. It was...Love at first sight! Quiet, rural, calm, private, tranquil and with views to die for! No roads...no utilities...no money and no plan, but we saw great possibilities for living out our future retirement in paradise. We took a leap of faith and never looked back. Yeah...we were a lot younger then. Haha. We began to build the guesthouse in 2009 and in 2011, we started renting it out as a vacation rental, in a brand new industry. It was a huge success and it allowed us to spend the next 9 years planning and working toward our goal of building our dream home and future B&B. Our dream came true....Yours can too!
Qué hace que este alojamiento sea especial
The property is very private and tranquil. Close to everything we need.. but away from it all as well. The cool mountain breezes are a real blessing when the summer months are here. We love waking up to the birds and monkey's and the sounds of nature everyday.
