Great location just outside of La Fortuna - quick drive into town, but the house location has a country feel. Safe, secure property with a large yard and great outdoor patio. The inside is beautifully finished. Diego made sure we knew he was available for anything 24 hours a day. Would definitely stay again!

The house was great and the porch was very nice. The location was nice not too far outside town. One note is that the stairs to the river are very steep and hard to navigate so don't count on the river for guests with mobility problems.

Very clean house in beautiful location, with small river running along back of property. Saw monkeys most early mornings in trees along river. Productive bird watching just from backyard. Surprisingly good pizza a little down the road, on the corner. Fogon de Chela close by for cooking class that included amazing dinner.

Excellent Home

Great home accommodation everything was clean inside and out grounds are spectacular with the creek being part of the backyard and an excellent plus to cool down and enjoy. Diego is an awesome person quick to respond and helpful if you need anything he will respond promptly. I highly recommend staying here secluded and just a short drive to La Fortuna nice safe area. Hope i can return soon thank you Diego!

Great little place and owner who cares

We had a great time at this place. It is brand new! We saw multiple wildlife right from the back deck. We saw multiple iguanas, birds and Howler monkeys almost every morning.We stayed when the cicadas were out and they are really loud, almost eerie. They were flying all around and really clumsy. They made siting outside in the evening unbearable. This was not the owners fault but just know there are a lot of bugs all around. We ended up putting a towel in front of the door because there was a gap where the bugs could come through.Overall we really enjoyed our stay. The owner is really easy to get ahold of. He went above and beyond when the water heater went out.to mKe sure we had hot water. AC worked great in the bedrooms (there is no AC in the main area).Thanks Diego for everything!
