Excellent home close to many things

Backyard was the highlight of this house, on the river and very lush. Felt like you were in your own jungle back there. Very close to town, but hard to walk in dark. Front porch also fun to watch the storms come in. Close to many hikes/parks. We loved our hike at Mirador el Silencio - probably our favorite of the trip in the pouring rain! Think we did all the trails in there.

Great stay

We enjoyed staying in Dionorah’s home. We had all we needed, we enjoyed being out of “town”, the back yard was heavenly. Abigail’s cafe, down the street, was yummy although it had spotty hours.

Nice Place

The home was clean and well stocked with basic necessities which was appreciated. The owner was easy to get in touch with. The beds were comfortable with lots of pillows and blankets. The only things I didnt like were the showers didnt get warm at all and there were a lot of tiny ants in the kitchen, making it hard to prepare food. Other than that, we had a very nice time. The backyard is beautiful with the river and lots of plants.

The entire process from reserving, to check in and check out was seamless. We were in town for 1 evening and the house met all our expectations. Very clean and accommodating for our group of 6 ( consisting of 3 adults and 3 kids). Short drive to town and restaurants and supermarket.

Great stay

The house was wonderful, clean. The outside seating area was a joy for us Bird watchers and the sound of the rio burrito was great. The location was just far enough from La Fortuna to not be to busy. I will say that some of the trucks going buy in the am we’re noisy but over all a great Costa Rica stay.

Convenient stay while zip lining!!

My wife and I along with our two college aged kids spent the night here after doing two separate events at Sky Adventures. We didn’t want to make the long drive back to Tamarindo at night so we decided to stay here. The place was perfect. It was clean, easy to find and well appointed. The pathway down to the river was a nice added bonus!!

Perfect jungle home

This was a beautiful house to start our vacation off at. The host was always available if we had any questions or concerns. Very roomy and very clean. We even saw a monkey in the tree and some frogs in the creek below the house. Started off every morning out back on the patio with the perfect view.
