The stunning floor to ceiling windows let in natural light and a beautiful view of the lake.

May 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing house with great view and host! Stayed here with my family as we explored Lake Atitlan. It's truly an amazing house with views of the volcanos and lake. Communication with the host was easy and prompt. Two things to note: There are stairs (~3 stories) required to get up to the house. This was not an issue for us, but it would be very difficult for physically impaired guests. The second was that their was no AC in the house, only fans. The weather was nice enough where this was not a problem. I noticed this with other listings I've stayed in in Guatemala, and believe that it's because the websites don't have an option for fans, so the feature is listed as AC. ##### Alexandra A. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### John W. Mar 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Special Property in a Lake-Village Setting This property is all it is advertised to be and is situated in the midst of all-aspects of village life. The pictures on the site do a nice job of capturing the splendid views and open floor plan of the home. If anything, the windows open more than you might imagine to lessen the distance between inside and outside. The arrangements and execution of two dinners and one breakfast prepared for us in the home were highlights of our four days there. If you have not stayed in a small village before, know that the roosters and dogs will make their presence known at various times of the day or night. Likewise, we were not expecting village-wide music and a couple of town meetings to complete our authentic and immersive village experience. On reflection, this is real village living, not primarily a tourist setting. ##### John W. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2022
