"Only stayed one night but the property is lovely. A little out of town but we had a car. Breakfast was good."

"All was great"

"Beautiful property- stayed 3 nights at a dome tent with my 7 year old- it was very modern and well equipped. Staff are great and we enjoyed the zip lining and horseback rides while at the ranch. All were extremely convenient to book during our stay- available on an hours notice. Food was excellent and traditional and the ladies in the kitchen working at the ranch were amazing. If you are looking to do a horse back ride and zip line in Costa Rica I would highly recommend staying night or so and doing the activities while enjoying the property. It’s a better day than booking a tour from the coast if you have a car IMO, simply because you have more time to enjoy nature and generally more private zip lining and horseback riding so you could accomplish more. Our stay was mid March 2025. Activity prices were reasonable as was the stay. "

"Beautiful property! All staff are incredibly helpful and kind!"

"We have stayed ar over 20 rental properties. And this one was by far the best! The house and grounds are beautiful. Patrick is an amazing host! We ended up with a flat tire and he arranged to have it taken into town to be repaired.The daily breakfast provided were also amazing and different every day!I can’t recommend this property enough!"

"We had a quick two night stay with my elderly parents to enjoy the views & wildlife. This house situated above the trees with a view of Arenal lake was perfect as the birds flew by at eye level constantly. We never even turned on the TV, house was cool enough without AC due to breeze. Water pressure in the shower could be better but other than that, we had everything we needed. "

"This home was simply paradise, and none of us wanted to leave! Everything in this home was completely stocked with everything that we needed. It was also very clean which is a big plus for our family. This property was truly everything we wanted and more. We are already planning for a future trip next year. "
