We spent three wonderful weeks at the House of Divine Views and loved every minute of it.
If we were to build our next house, we’d use this one as the starting blueprint. The master bedroom was amazing. Spacious, architecturally stimulating, full of light from corner to corner, and with a desk and work area that is hard to surpass. The master bedroom, living room, dining room and patio all have magnificent view of Mount Osorno. The wrap around patio provides plenty of space for even large groups. The open space allows you to enjoy the surrounding wilderness without feeling closed in or being deprived of light by the tall, beautiful trees that surround the home.
The kitchen is spacious and fully stocked with pretty much any tool you could ask for. Plenty of pots, pans, plates, glasses, silverware, etc.
The quincho (outdoor cooking hut with woodburning grill) was fantastic. I made more than a third of our dinners out there, grilling over an open fire, and they all came out great…flavorful and perfectly done. It takes a lot of attention to what you’re grilling, given that it’s an open flame, but it’s worth it.
And the location of the home, secluded down a dirt road but centrally located in the Lake District, meant that we had short drives to such wonderful treats as river rafting down the Petrohue River, enjoying the views of Petrohue falls, and hiking in the various national parks that surround the home.
But we also relished our days of kicking back in the lounges and Adirondack chairs and enjoying the quiet and stillness of the space. Visits from local falcons and Caracara were an added thrill.
We will be back.
