Encantada was everything we were looking for when we came to Costa Rica! We loved sitting on the expansive deck listening to the monkeys, exotic birds, and especially the rain! Visiting during the rainy season gave us a 1st hand rain forest experience! The location was very close to zip lining, hanging bridges, and if we wanted to, several hot springs were right down the road. Marty and Nita were very gracious and helpful with sharing their knowledge of the area. And the breakfasts couldn’t be beat! So delicious, home cooked, and many choices- not at all like the continental breakfast often served at hotels. The property is beautiful and we loved the gardens too. Highly recommend this unique accommodation!

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.

Marty and Nita were fabulous hosts and made sure we were very comfortable. Their property is breathtaking and it’s great to be able to be guided on must do activities. They served a great breakfast everyday as part of our stay and they had several adorable dogs around to pet and gush over. Very close by is a convenience store and a good restaurant. This was an excellent home base for us and we are glad we stayed there. They have a great masseuse on call which I highly recommend and the view from the hot tub is amazing.

We were very excited to stay here for the start of our trip! We wouldn't usually stay somewhere as expensive but read the reviews and photos and decided to splurge! We were really looking forward to meeting/having Marty & Nita as hosts due to how great of reviews they got. It was also important to us to stay somewhere with English speaking hosts as we do not speak Spanish and wanted to be able to communicate smoothly and get recommendations! Unfortunately, Marty & Nita were not there during our trip. Their staff were all very kind but we were not able to communicate with anyone, which was difficult at times. The breakfast was great, property was well taken care of, and we loved spending time with the dogs! We were also expecting the property to be more private as it is only two rooms but there was very limited privacy with workers staying there as well. Overall, we had a great experience!

Glad you enjoyed your stay. Sorry if you felt communication was difficult. We did our best under the difficult circumstances
of us traveling and 2 with staff with medical emergencies. As a side note.. Only our manager stays there full time, when we are away. All other workers leave by 3 pm and guests are usually gone during the day when the gardeners are working. We do sincerely apologize if you felt your privacy was impacted somehow.

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.

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.

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.

We very much enjoyed our 4 nights at Encantada. Marty and Nita were very accommodating, we had interesting conversations as they joined us at breakfast each morning. The food was delicious and the presentation exceptional. The home design, decor and landscaping well done.They offered ideas for nearby activities and restaurants.

Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: 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 que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade
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!
O que faz essa propriedade ser única?
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.
