It is large enough to accommodate your party of up to 20 people, although we enjoyed having the entire place to our family of four to explore. The ornate details throughout the home remind you that this is authentic Latin American architecture. The pool house is nice and includes a deep pool, jacuzzi, weights, and table games. The property is expensive and you can take a nice hike around the perimeter, surrounded by jungle of course. Lastly, Patrick is awesome and arranged all of the excursions during our stay. The included breakfast is fantastic. I'll definitely stay again. ##### Cameron G. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### BigLudsBBQ Y.

From first choosing this beautiful home to driving up it was wonderful. Patrick met us at the door full of information and support of us enjoying Costa Rica. Being in the mountains was a treat. There was plenty to do at the house to keep us in fun mode, no matter the weather. ##### Don D. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Spencer C.

We enjoyed the pool and hot tub and breakfast was really nice. Patrick recommended some great activities that were perfect for our family and helped set up all the bookings. I would highly recommend staying here! ##### Spencer C. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allison S.

You can fit in a lot of people and it is a clean house. Breakfast (which is included) was excellent. Patrick made our dinner one night and it was also very good. He also knows all the excursions and sights to see and tells you about them and sets everything up for you. Hunter was a big help and very nice to talk to. The only downside was the fact that it rained a lot and was very windy--but you are in the rainforest. As soon as you travel away from the house to go to an excursion the weather clears up! There are quite a few restaurants in the area and we enjoyed them immensely.Thank you Patrick and family for a great time! ##### Allison S.

We all enjoyed the house, the area, views from the patio and especially the breakfasts! Sitting on the patio in the mornings with a cup of coffee while enjoying the view and peaceful quiet was sublime. ##### Lisa L. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### reba b.

Everyone from Patrick, his wife, the housekeeper made us feel welcome. The drivers were like family by the end of the day, Miguel and Luis are the best! Patrick was a great help suggesting and helping plan our tours. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy yourself. ##### reba b. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Darryl P.

Ample room for everyone with the library/entertainment area, the dining room, deck, covered swimming pool and hot tub and every room with its own bathroom. Patrick couldn't have been more helpful. It was like having your own Concierge. Very helpful coming up with activities and and recommendations. The staff were friendly and took care of everything. The breakfasts delicious and large. It all worked flawlessly. ##### Darryl P. Stayed 8 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matt H.

The property and house are beautiful, a wonderful oasis to relax in the rainforest. The daily fresh cooked breakfast was the perfect start and exceeded our expectations. Miguel, such a great guy and driver helped us get to any adventure we wanted and made sure everything went smooth. Patrick is a great chef and we had the best tres leche cake for dessert. We highly recommend this home and would not hesitate to book again. ##### Matt H. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gillian G.

The house was comfortable and the breakfasts varied and delightful. AC was nice but the mountain breezes cooled things off nicely too. Pool and hot tub were amazing! You will nott be sorry if you book here! ##### Gillian G. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna R.

It was clean and the cook came and made a fabulous breakfast every day except Sunday. The teens loved it here as well. Note the pool is not heated but if you’ve swam in a lake before I would say it’s cold at 1st but once accustomed it it quite refreshing. Rooms were great and we were offered to have those cleaned by Mar the cook. She cleaned up the kitchen and ran and put away dishes while cleaning the main living area. Patrick met us as we came in and we kept in touch by what’s app messaging. About an hour drive to La Fortuna on a very windy road (like the road to Hana) so if you get carsick that could be a factor. ##### Donna R.

This house and property were HUGE, with great views of the volcano and surrounding area, and had room for everyone in my large group! It was fun and quirky and just right. The breakfast was spectacular each morning. Patrick was the perfect host and helped us with terrific advice on activities and even made reservations for us. This house is definitely a "do-again!" ##### Debra G. R.
