### Quiet Rainforest Mountain House near Volcano Arenal. Next to Hot Springs resort
Your own Costa Rican private hilltop house located 20 minutes from the town of La Fortuna and Volcano Arenal. The Chachagua rainforest and ECO lodge next door is hidden under the trees , they just changed their pool area into hot springs .our house does not have a pool but so far the resort has allowed free access to their hot springs for our guests . We just brought New WiFi in as well as Air conditioners .This beautiful retreat is about 2 and 1/2 hours from San Jose (main airport) and about 3 hours from the Pacific beaches. This well-built ,fully equipped and locally decorated home sits on a hill overlooking its own tropical fruit and flower garden. Just beyond the exotic garden are beautiful horse pastures, a whitewater river and the jungle of the federally protected Children’s Eternal Rainforest which offers endless hiking trails and birding opportunities. Wake up to the magical sounds of the Costa Rican Rain forest (howler monkeys, gentle rain, and the songs of over 123 species of birds seen on-site). Brew a pot of locally grown fresh Costa Rican Café, and step out onto the large deck to enjoy the 270° view and lounge in one of the 2 hammocks provided. Swim in the spring fed unchlorinated pool at the hotel , sip a Margarita and watch the sunset from the large covered deck , grill some steaks from the local butcher on your little charcoal BBQ and enjoy dinner al fresco listening to the murmur of the creek below . Be surprised how few Moskitos bother you I basically never have to use any Moskito lotion .The house is very bright and well ventilated .I love to sit outside and paint or photograph the birds and flowers around the house .
We also finally after much trial and error have our own good internet in place . I had to pay for them to bring in cable but after much delay it’s here and active . As of May 2023 .
This house is very peaceful and remote yet it has the wonderful feature of being within walking distance to the ecotourist destination Chachagua Rainforest Hotel and Hot springs This unique setting offers total privacy with all the comforts of a first class lodge. The conveniences offered by the hotel include: English-speaking staff on property at all times, cell phones in case of emergencies, night watchman, laundry, restaurant serving delicious local Costa Rican cuisine, fully stocked bar, beautiful outdoor swimming pool, massage therapists, tropical gardens,, access to rain forest hiking trails, rental horses and tours. We consider this to be the best of both worlds: the security and convenience of a hotel yet the quiet remoteness of a private home.
The house has 2 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a nice new king size bed and its own porch with superb views. The guest bedroom has two beds, one queen and one twin. As of 12/2021 upgraded
There is 1 bathroom with beautiful private shower that overlooks rain forest. Colorful hand painted murals cover 2 the living room wall within the house and illustrate forest scenes (done by a talented local artist). There is a great kitchen with all the tools to cook a healthy meal. There is also a family room that opens up to the best porch in the world. The house is an awesome place to relax. Guests can spend countless days just sitting in the hammocks, eating fresh fruit and watching the toucans, parrots, hummingbirds and countless birds that visit the garden at the house.
Over the past 10 years we have planted many fruit trees. Fruits include mangos, oranges, figs, coconuts, rambatans (chinese leechis), guanabanas, tamarindos, bananas, plantains, limes, water apple, coffee, and cacao (chocolate). All ov which is available to you when it is ripe!
Not only is the house a great place to chill out, but it is in an ideal location to use as a home base when you go on adventures.
Things to do in close by La Fortuna are:
Watch lava flow from the crater of Volcano Arenal (one of the most picturesque volcanoes), visit a 100ft waterfall (Catarata La Fortuna), bathe in natural hot springs, fish and windsurf on Lake Arenal, whitewater raft, explore the Volcano Arenal National Park, take a wildlife/bird tour to Cano Negro, go on a caving tour, dine at many restaurants, dance at the local discothèque (Volcan Look), get cool souvenirs, get money from an ATM, or use the internet. Also, you are less then a 4 hour drive to a variety of nice beaches on the Pacific coasts as well as the enchanting cloud forests of Monte Verde. The Caribbean coast is only about 5 hours away.
