The cabin is new construction. The bed was comfortable and the deck is perfect for morning coffee. We were happy to have rented a small SUV for this trip. The cabin is a 20 minute drive from the edge of La Fortuna and the road is steep and rough. A car with low clearance would have been a problem. The nearby restaurant, Chicha's Restaurant & Lounge, was fantastic for breakfast/lunch/dinner/happy hour. We were in Costa Rica for a birding trip and LOVED viewing toucans, parrots, and more on the property.
