Serenity, tranquility, peace. A real opportunity to be one with nature without sacrificing civilized amenities. Overall this place was wonderful and the extreme private space mixed with the sound of the river all night makes for perfect sleep ##### Ashton Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### robin Aug 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Surprise, surprise, surprise Excellent place to stay for home base to visit Cloudbridge Nature observatory or hot springs and Chirripo The share uniqueness of the house was a treat in itself. The interior was a tranquil sanctuary. Very natural and peaceful. The lighting was an unexpected ambiance. Full kitchen was a plus all you need to be meal ready is ingredients. Washer and dryer on site was a pleasant surprise, especial after a day hiking in the cloud forest. The outside garden is a nice morning walk. Then you have the elevated catwalk to the River where you can sit and watch the birds, including a couple of Momot that were there every day. It has a nice patio area with a grill that is nice to sit on as well. Robert was great in touching base with us and making sure we got in ok,then our host checked in to make sure everything was great as it was. They do offer meals to be made for you we did not use this service but the reviews in the guest book made us wish we would have.😊 The property is safe and quiet. There is a small meat market in town and a grocery store so you can stock up on food items to prepare meals. A little further down the road at a little soda Antogitos del de maiz is good food but you can also get gluten free desserts. Great place to relax and unwind. You will be totally amazed by the house and the host. ##### robin Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sebastien Jul 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities This house is truly one of a kind. It felt like stepping into The Croods (the movie)—living in a cave, but an incredibly luxurious one! The kids said it was like being in a fairytale and were genuinely sad to leave. Tucked away by the river and off the beaten path, it had everything we needed for a magical stay. ##### Sebastien Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela May 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is the most unique place you will ever stay! It’s so much fun. We loved it! It’s very nice, comfortable and really cool! We enjoyed the hot tub, playing darts and the river sitting area.
