Whether you are traveling with friends or family, this home will accommodate you all and you won’t want to leave! Located 15 min up a 4x4 road, there is privacy, yet it’s not far from hotsprings, restaurants, and amazing hiking near mt. Chiripo. Sunrises are the best part of the day with amazing unobstructed views and beautiful wildlife. The property is gorgeously landscaped with a fire pit out front and little walking paths all around. The home features two extra king size bed upstairs, one made closer to the ground safe for babies and kids.. with a gate at the top of stairs. There is organic cotton/linen duvets and OG comforters on both king beds. There is also a walk in closet upstairs. The kitchen is semi-outdoors and has all the appliances you could need; vitamix, sauce food processor, tortilla press, citrus, and veggie juicer. There is a massage table a variety of yoga mats, spine specific roller, ACU mat, kids toys and more. We are close to the butterfly dome, the best restaurants, the rivers and hotsprings for a dip. If you’d like to stay in, there is a flatscreen tv and high speed internet. You will need 4x4 to come up the mountain and it’s best to come during the daylight to find it easier! The property is looking across the valley at unobstructed views with beautiful birds chirping and coyotes howling at night. The property is well landscaped with fruit trees, coffee, and flowers all around Note from the owners: while traveling with an infant in central America, one of the biggest issues we had was concern about our infant falling off the tall beds onto the hard tile floors. So we created this cozy safe bed or reading nook upstairs for young children or anyone looking to enjoy it. Everything is brand new, so please be extra careful with your kids. NO EATING on the Beds. If there are stains or damages, please report immediately to our cleaner and she will help. We offer one mid-stay clean 3-4 days in for guests staying 6-7 days.
