Eduardo and Betty were the most gracious.welcoming and warm hostsThe property, meticulously maintained and manicured daily, is a marvel to living in and among Costa Rica’s rich forest while enjoying the fruits and vegetables grown on their land and drinking the coffee from their family plantation that backs up to the national park. And add in the trail down a five minute walk to the richest and most tranquil and private Brooke side rest area….simply breathtaking.

Sep 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had the most amazing stay at the Gosen House! Eduardo and Betty are the best hosts ever. It felt like we were staying with family. Just the nicest people and we loved talking with them and learning all about the farm and Costa Rica.The place is so beautiful - flowers and fruit in abundance. We also saw lovely birds all over the property. And they had the most precious dogs which added even more fun to the visit! We ordered the dinner and breakfast and everything was absolutely delicious. Homemade and fresh fruit and juice from their garden. We took the coffee tour and it was so informative and fun. We enjoyed the experience of roasting some coffee beans at the end of the tour. It was so awesome to be able to buy some coffee to take home and know exactly where it came from and that it is made with love.Our stay was too short - we did not want to leave! But hope to visit again one day. Thank you so much Eduardo and Betty, for making our stay in Costa Rica an unforgettable one! The Campbells ##### Vanessa C.

They make you feel right at home, we will miss them. The only 'con' would be that the house is so remote, not close to any sites we wanted to see, however, we had no issues getting Uber rides and Eduardo was also willing to offer ride service. ##### Amanda L.

Wonderful hosts who were extremely helpful even though they were out of town during our visit. You are in the middle of beautiful gardens and small coffee farm. Feel safe and secure with locked gate to property. We stayed just a couple of nights before heading elsewhere, and it was a great stopover for us. Reasonably priced and a friend of the owners even made dinner for us the first night because we arrived so late. Lovely people! ##### Deborah W.

The temperature is cool and mild and theres a great view of the surrounding vegitation from the second story. Eduardo and his wife are beyond hospitable and welcoming, and made every effort to find ways to make our stay memorable and comfortable. I would highly recommend you purchase their delicious, aromatic coffee. Ots grown on the property otself, and Eduardo grinds it freshly for you at your request. Nothing but love for this place and the hosts! Pura vida! ##### Annette N. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### George F.

They will go out of there way to help you. We stayed here a week for my wife's birthday. They made us feel like we were home celebrating. They bought my wife a cake and we celebrated at a hot spring with his family and friends. Betty's cooking is delicious, she taught my wife how to make homemade tortillas. Ask for the coffee, coffee tea, or the guava juice (which is my favorite). We have now family in Costa Rica and we will be back again. Love you Eduardo and Betty can't wait to see you all again. ##### George F. Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie F. Apr 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hospitality is the bottom line :) This was our 4th trip to CR, and we have stayed in a different VRBO each time. This was the least-expensive home we have stayed in. While not luxurious, it was welcoming and comfortable. The gardens are stunning. My husband is a "pacer," and he spent lots of time strolling through the gorgeous hydrangeas, birds of paradise, etc. Hummingbirds and butterflies also enjoy the gardens. Eduardo and Betty are first-rate hosts. They were available without being obtrusive. Eduardo gave us a lesson in coffee roasting, and we brought home the 2 bags we prepared. Betty made us two meals, both wonderful. There are a couple of living spaces. The main lounge seating area is on the outdoor deck. Because of the winds, we weren't able to spend a lot of time there. The kitchen and dining area has table seating, but no couches. Two game tables fill the space. This area also has ample sliding doors that can be opened to gain access to the gardens while also letting in the breeze. I was surprised at how cool it was in the evenings and bought a pair of sweats to change into after the sun went down. This was a wonderful "home base" and we took Eduardo's suggestions for hiking areas within driving distance. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a3ee491c-e844-4bf8-8ea8-0ebe7819109a-1746029379141.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/72848d0d-0def-42d3-96ec-da90d29acea3-1746029378855.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Julie F.

Mar 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Incredible hosts There are no words to describe the beauty of this property. It is cared for with love and it is pure joy to sit in the garden and soak it all in. We have travelled extensively over the years and have never encountered such incredible hosts. No request went unanswered. We did not have a car so Eduardo was kind enough to help us get around locally. He is also a marvelous tour guide and has extensive knowledge about the history , culture, flora and fauna of Costa Rica. We visited several natural parks with him including experiencing first hand the processing of coffee beans from harvesting to roasting at his plantation Betty, Eduardo’s wife, delighted us with so many wonderful meals and surprises, like breakfast on our first day and a birthday cake and a surprise departure breakfast in addition to home made goodies throughout our stay. We highly recommend Posada Gosen but being at over a mile high make sure you dress appropriately as it was quite windy and cool specially in the evenings unlike the coastal areas. Thank you Eduardo and Betty for your wonderful hospitality. ##### Arthur G. Stayed 11 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ronda L.

Before we booked the property we were a bit skeptical, all of these excellent reviews?? Could this place be that great?? Well, let me tell you YES, the property and the owners are that great and then some!! From the time Eduardo picked us up at our hotel we felt like we were part of the family, on our arrival we were greeted by Eduardo's wife Betty and their two wonderful doggos, Anute and Legertha... The building was gorgeous and well appointed, waking up every morning to amazing views, the sounds of birds and the river running through the property was sublime!! We were asked if we would like to learn about coffee farming, we immediately said yes!!! We picked beans, shelled,dried, roasted, ground and packaged the coffee beans, Eduardo is a walking encyclopedia of coffee and Costa Rican information.. Betty is an amazing chef, we sampled many dishes and fresh fruit juices during our stay!! But the thing that stands out about our stay is the way Eduardo and Betty invited us to experience daily life... Whether it be a trip to the mall with their granddaughter, tacos from a local Soda, or our absolute favorite attending a soccer match between Saprissa and Vancouver, an event we will never forget!!!!! They allowed us to be immersed in daily Costa Rican life and to us that was so special!! We did the tourist things as well..Hikes and waterfalls and wildlife, but our favorite thing was the end of day sunsets and the solitude that the evening would bring.. What an adventure we had! ##### Ronda L. Stayed 14 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cecilia s.

Gideon, the coffee plantation and guest accommodation of Eduardo and his lovely wife, Betty, offers plenty and delivers comfort. Their jewel of a vacation get-away, located near the university town of Heredia and a short drive from Costa Rica’s capital of San Jose, offers its guests art. Architecture, fauna, flora, fine food and friendship. If you’re interested in art, Eduardo’s private collection along with his own paintings ( he’s quite an accomplished artist in his own right) will captivate the viewer. If you appreciate architecture, their main accommodation is a Mid-Century Modernism style building that offers a 360 degree panorama of the surrounding plantation and neighboring forest with their abundant plants and wild life.One can view various tropical birds coming and going while multi-colored, spotted lizards dart through their gardens. An occasional sloth might even be seen. The grounds are visual delight with many tropical flowers and fruit plants that Eduardo has cultivated. Not only are they feast for the eyes but for one’s stomach, as well, because Eduardo and Betty serve up many of the tropical fruits that are grown on their plantation. Betty is an excellent cook who prepares and presents full course meals that can only be described as the finest of fine dining. Their warmth and hospitality are unlimited and you will find yourself fast becoming friends with your hosts. ##### Cecilia s.

We arrived late in the day roughly 6pm and was greeted with open arms by Eduardo. Once we got ourselves settled in on our first night we were treated with a nice seafood soup made by Eduardo's wife Betty who is a gem of a lady as well...The next day we were invited for breakfast at their place as we didn't get time to get our groceries. Christmas day we had dinner with his family and friends which was AMAZING! Our bedroom was the perfect touch with your own private bathroom right in your bedroom, shower as well which made is so nice. Downstairs was the kitchen and dinning room which was decorated for us for Christmas as we were here from Dec-18-26\. The property is very very well kept as is the house it's self, where this is located 1100 meters above sea level night time sleeping with the windows open makes it nice and cool and NO alarm needed as you'll have a rooster to wake you hahaha... Eduardo gave us great places to shop for your fruits and veggies in Barva. Most places in CR have gates to their property and driveway and so does this place as you'll get your own remote to open and close when ever you want to come and go, I never had any concerns about our car being unlocked over night, you'll know why when you see it. Downstairs has another bathroom complete with a shower as well, there is a laundry facility there but we never used it. You wont regret this place along with his coffee as he has a coffee farm ##### Tim M. Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aaron Y.

The host family were very kind, inviting us to breakfast and sharing recommendations for restaurants in the area.Wish we had taken more time to lounge in the lovely backyard garden area. We enjoyed our stay, and recommend this property. ##### Cleavy M. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carson F.

My husband, daughter and I wanted to stay in a house near San Jose, and this worked out really nicely. The property is just gorgeous with the flowers and greenery everywhere. Eduardo and Betty are so sweet. We paid extra for dinner and breakfast the first day which was a huge help until we could get to the grocery store.I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone elderly or with little kids—no railing on the stairs or paved paths. You need a car to stay here, for sure. And the bed in the main room was so hard we bought an air mattress to put on top of it. But otherwise, it was a wonderful stay! ##### Jennifer J.
