Great stay in Lares!

We had a great time here! The kids ran around the huge yard. The water was high, so we weren’t able to go to the river, but I imagine that would be fun during times with lower water levels. We fell asleep every night to the sounds of nature.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! 🌿 We’re so happy your family enjoyed the space; that yard was made for running, laughing, and making memories! 🏃‍♀️☀️ Even though the river was too high this time, it’ll be waiting for you on your next visit (with perfect water levels and maybe a splash or two 😉). So glad nature’s soundtrack helped you drift off each night. That’s the Lares magic! ✨

Secluded and Relaxation

This place was unique and full of character. It had everything we needed especially the tranquility. The river at the end of the property was a treat and fun. The owner was incredible, attentive and made us feel like family. She has other property’s around the island which we’ll be exploring in the future

Wonderful stay up in the hills!

Great location to explore the central and western areas of Puerto Rico. The house was easy to find, even in the dark. We enjoyed birding from the deck, observing many species just flying overhead and in the trees on the property. My favorite were the Puerto Rican Owls that called at night.Overall a wonderful stay at a great house. I would love to come back again to enjoy with my family!

Thank you so much for your wonderful words! 🌿 We love hearing that you enjoyed the peaceful side of Lares, especially the local birdlife (those Puerto Rican owls (mucaros) sure know how to put on a nighttime concert! 🦉🎶). So glad you found the house cozy and easy to reach, even after dark. We’d be delighted to welcome you and your family back anytime for another nature-filled escape in the mountains! 💚

Simply the best!

We stayed at 3 properties during our trip and this was our absolute favorite! The location is great, we did day trips to Cabo Rojo, Rincon, and Arecibo from the house. The property itself is magical- from the views off the porch, to the little touches like mirrors in each room and plenty of outlets for charging devices- it felt like home. Also, the mattress is the best we slept on our whole trip (and we have someone who likes firm support and another who likes to sleep on a cloud). This was our first trip to PR and we are already planning when we can come back, we will definitely stay here again!

Wow, what an amazing review, thank you! 🤍 We’re so happy to hear Lares stole your hearts and became your favorite stop! That view does have a little magic to it, right? 🌄 And we love knowing the bed passed the “firm vs. cloud” test; that’s a tough crowd to please! 😄 It means a lot that you felt at home here. We’ll be waiting to welcome you back on your next Puerto Rico adventure; your mountain home will be ready! 🏡✨

Fantastic Unique Stay in the mountains of Puerto Rico

Our family of four planned on doing some hiking and caving in the Laras area of Puerto Rico and we needed an accommodation within the area. This was PEFECT for our family. The "container" cottage is unique with a breathtaking back porch view of the limestone mountains of Puerto Rico. It fit our family of four perfectly and we enjoyed grilling on the back patio each evening...and having cofee in the mornings on the patio before we headed out on our adventure. Its is uniquely located to some of the best high adventure sports in the area (rapelling, caving, kayaking, hiking). Hosts were outstanding in their communications! We loved it!

Thank you so much for this amazing review! 🌄 We’re thrilled your family enjoyed the container cottage and those mountain views; nothing beats morning coffee with that backdrop, right? ☕️⛰️ Sounds like you made the most of the adventure side of Lares too; that’s exactly what this spot was made for! We truly appreciate your kind words about our communication and would love to welcome you all back for round two of hiking, caving, and relaxing on the patio! 💚

Nice mountain getaway

Love that the property is pet friendly and it has a great yard for your dogs to run and play. The view is beautiful and the telescope is a nice touch, especially since we were there during the full moon. The only feedback we have would be to provide the WiFi password, the one on the back of the router was not correct; however, there were a couple of streaming services available on the smart TV so that was nice. The top sheet on the bed was folded up under the pillows and if you want paper towels, bring a roll with you. Otherwise the house was well stocked and comfortable. LOVE the beautiful kitchen cabinets!

Thank you so much for your review! 🤍 We’re thrilled you enjoyed the view and the pet-friendly yard, and even got to use the telescope — that full moon sure knows how to shine! 🌕 We appreciate the note about the WiFi and paper towels. It seems like some previous guests got a little too creative with the plumbing 😅, but we’re on it. Thanks for taking good care of the place, and we’d love to welcome you back to Lares anytime for another peaceful getaway with your pups! 🐾

Rainforest Getaway

My friend and I had a great time in this cozy little house. I gave 4 in the online listing because few things on the deck already need some retouching. The inside was amazing, no bugs, very clean, beds are very comfortable, beautiful view, quiet. Few minor things: no dish soap, no microwave dishes, only hot water on shower head, tv remote run out of battery, the entrance driveway is steeper than shows online. We couldn’t enjoy the water tub or river due to the rain but that is Mother Nature. Love the sound of Coquí and rooster. This is a place in the rainforest and roads are very narrow and curve but this brought more flavor to our adventure. Owners were very attentive to our needs. We felt safe. We will go back and we recommend this place to friends. Thank you for having us.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, and those beautiful, smiling photos! 🤩 We’re so happy you enjoyed the peaceful vibe, comfy beds, and those classic Puerto Rican sounds. The coquí and the roosters are part of the full island experience! 🐸🐓 Appreciate the feedback about the deck and little details like the dish soap (funny enough, it’s actually built into the sink, island style 😅). We’ll check on everything you mentioned to keep improving. Rain or shine, we’d love to have you back for another Lares adventure, maybe next time with sunshine and a dip in the river! 🌿💧

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, communication
Host was very welcoming, view in the backyard is stunning. Tubs face the trees and river outback. Cool little home- very rustic though and needed a bit of cleaning/tlc in and out. Some more detailed instructions/a gate photo would have been helpful, as would some instructions about operating the outdoor movie setup. When asked, the host was very response to our concerns about cleanliness and provided instructions on everything. Unfortunately house didn’t have batteries to make the movie remote work, but those were probably used by the last guest. House has a fairly low ceiling/low ceiling fans and pronounced tilt in the front room so if you’re very tall just be prepared (my husband is 6’5 and the fans touch his head). Host ensured us it was up to code- ultimately didn’t stay a second night as we weren’t comfortable but host did offer a refund. We haven’t gotten said refund for the second night yet- will update when it arrives.

Thank you for your feedback and for mentioning the warm welcome and beautiful backyard views. - For future guests, we’d like to clarify that the home is fully up to code. Because it sits on natural terrain, guests may perceive a slight tilt in the front area. After your message, we promptly sent our contractor, who confirmed the structure is level and safe. Evidence we sent you and was acknowledged by you. - An illustrated Welcome Guide with photos, directions, and amenity instructions is provided with every reservation via PDF. - When we checked the movie setup, we found the projector had been damaged, It has since been replaced, and the problems wasn't the batteries. As a courtesy, no charge was passed on. - This is a rustic countryside retreat with cozy, cabin-style proportions. Ceiling height is typical for this type of home (container house); very tall guests may wish to keep this in mind. First time I heard about this being an issue, I will include the ceilings high in the description. - Regarding the refund, the guest informed us they would not be staying and they left not because of the house, they left to take their flight back home. We offered the refund if they didn't felt the house wasn't a right fit. - We appreciate the acknowledgment of our responsiveness and wish you safe travels.
