Clean, spacious and quiet with everything we needed. The hosts took great care of us, very welcoming and communicative. We enjoyed the hot tub every evening after hiking, rafting, riding, etc. We would definitely come back and highly recommend it. ##### Deena W.

The views of Arenal are so breathtaking that it’s hard to capture in words. The house is stunning and is fully equipped with high end touches. Fresh flowers were in the kitchen and bathroom making it feel like a luxury hotel. The host took great care to get us situated and is so kind that we felt comfortable from the start. It’s a spectacular property and was truly a place we will never forget. ##### Dana S. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pablo Dec 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Great spacious house, all one needs, laundry room, jacuzzi, external fireplace, perfect view of the volcano, friendly dog and reception by caretaker. Negative is no clear directions, no signs to property off the main highway or at the location. The photo shows the gate closed, yet is open when we arrived so we could not connect both. Identified the dog in the pic, was waiting for us outside on the road. ##### Pablo Stayed 12 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan B. Jul 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Volcano view! This place was amazing. Not too far from La Fortuna, but wow! What a view! Brian was fantastic to deal with. An expat with the best communication you could ask for. I felt like I had a million questions about Costa Rica in general and he was quick to answer them in detail. The property is top notch, the best my family has ever stayed at. If you want a relaxing stay in Costa Rica that isn't too far from the attractions near La Fortuna, I would advise you stay here! ##### Jonathan B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kristin w. Mar 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### To The "T" This property was to the "T" exactly what is pictured in every photo, probably better. Spectacularly clean, open, well stocked, beautiful, comfortable and convenient to La Fortuna and the volcano. Brian was superb in communication to the start and even brought up bottles of water in the middle of our stay. If I could get away from work once a month, I would come back to stay every time in heartbeat. ##### kristin w. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie S. Jan 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house with georgeous views! We had a fantastic stay! The owner was very easy to get in touch with and responded quickly. Our flight got canceled coming in and we ended up arriving the day after we originally planned and the owner was super patient with all of the changes and even offered us an extra day. The back patio was beatiful with amazing views of the volcano. We made good use of the hammock and enjoyed an afternoon in the hottub. The rooms had great AC and there was a full functioning, up to date kitchen. The large glass doors from the living and dining room opened up the area and allowed a nice breeze to come through. We enjoyed our stay so much and hope to be back to visit again soon. ##### Julie S.
