The house was a perfect repose after a busy day around the many attractions Arenal has to offer. Communication with Nita and Marty was excellent. The house is far enough from the noise and hubbub in La Fortuna but close enough to all attractions and conveniences. It is a cozy, clean and inviting space. The gardens are gorgeous and we saw plenty of beautiful birds. There is a nice pool and hot tub and the little jungle trail was good for the kids to explore. 100% recommend! ##### Juan M.

Mar 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Paradise! The moment my friend and I arrived, we both thought, "I wish I could live here." The property is gorgeous!Every morning, I walked the grounds to watch birds, and two of the host's cute dogs (Angel and Mia) accompanied me. I saw all sorts of incredible birds (including keel-billed toucans) and realized a great view of Arenal was only a short jaunt up the hill.The house stayed remarkably cool with only the fans running (we didn't need to turn on the AC, though it was available). The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. The house felt very private; we knew other people were staying on the property but didn't see them at all. The driveway up to the house was rugged, but the 2WD low-clearance Kia we rented did fine navigating it.Overall, I'm glad we picked lodging outside of La Fortuna. The grounds were peaceful and beautiful, and getting to the common attractions in the area was easy. We hope to come back someday. ##### Jennifer J.

The house is absolutely adorable and inspired us to start looking for our dream Costa Rican house. Michael, the caretaker, met us at no one is how are you gonna get in? check-in and the owners ensured we were happy with our stay. Everything was thought out and you had everything you would need for a comfortable stay. The gardens are absolutely gorgeous and we had many early bird visitors that were a treat to watch. The house is near Essence Arenal where we took yoga classes and had a lovely meal as well as Arenal Observatory where a day hike was enjoyed. Will definitely be back! ##### Gina S.

Kitchen is well equipped and the welcome package of food was much appreciated after a long drive! The surroundings are beautiful and the walk down to the river is lovely. Had to walk up the driveway to get views of the volcano but it was spectacular at dawn. The sunroom is lovely except the curtains do let in a lot of light. Great if you like to wake up at the break of dawn! It was a little small for our family of 5 unfortunately & probably not the best for teenagers who sleep in! Air conditioner is only in the kitchen but if we kept our room doors open it was cool enough to sleep. Overall, this is a great place and best suited for 4 people in my opinion. ##### Donna K.

The Encantada Guest House was located on a beautifully curated property with tons of flowers, plants and animals to watch! It was a great location to serve as our "base camp" during our stay in La Fortuna. The access to hikes at Arenal National Park was very convenient. We loved the Arenal 1968 hike and highly recommend! The property is very quiet and private and the hosts are extremely helpful for all your needs. Definitely a highly recommended place to stay for a family vacation in the Arenal area! ##### Christopher S.

Feb 19, 2016 #### Beautiful Property My husband and I and three friends had a wonderful time at this house. It's off the beaten path so you need 4 wheel drive, but once there, the view and property can't be beat. Nita was very helpful with booking activities and we had a great time white water rafting, ATVing, zip lining, horseback riding, etc. Definitely recommend it! ##### Megan H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### deborah s.

Wonderful location and a beautiful well decorated home. So many activities to do on property with a pool and jacuzzi for some down time. A great trail to walk on and the hosts were extremely hospitable and helpful. They provided us with a huge variety of movies to watch and the beds were so comfy. They helped us find the Toucans in the trees and identified the sounds of the animals we heard. Everything about this place exceeded our expectations including our hosts. I would give them over 5 stars if I could. ##### deborah s.

The house is beautifully set on a mountain top with an outstanding view. Comfortable and equipped with everything one might possibly need. For sure one needs a tall vehicle 4x4 to access property as the entry hill is quite steep and roads leading to it are unpaved. This is part of the whole adventure !! Loved it. ##### Aida C.

The property was better than advertised. Everything you need is provided. Tourist attractions are within a short driving distance or you can just relax at the house. The owners were readily available at the adjacent house. We really enjoyed talking to them. We enjoyed dining at the local restaurants which are a short drive from the property. You will need a vehicle with some ground clearance to acces s the property as the road is rough. ##### William P.

We personally were glad we choose to be further away from La Fortuna and the little area on this side of the Volcano was perfect for our needs. A quick drive to town and the "events" but with only the noise of the jungle and rarely seeing anyone else. Highly recommended if you can get it. The owners were out of town but attentive on WhatsApp as needed. The guest house would be one of the better set up / equipped / welcome package options I have stayed at in more than 50 or 60 house rentals around the world. (not to mention the welcomes from Beau the host dog, whom my 2-year-old had such a great time with) ##### Adrian R.
