Private, peaceful, beautiful. We traveled everywhere from this beautiful home and coming back always felt like home. Our host was amazing he know Costa Rica and you will need this cause there are no addresses for the GPS. You have to know the location. We had an amazing time and will be back only stay here when we come.

Friendly house and owners

The property was large and well manicured. There is a small coffee farm on site. We asked to participate in the harvesting and had a fun and learning experience. The home was spread out, but had all the amenities we needed for our 4 week stay. Highly recommend this location.

Wonderful place to stay.

We found the place easily and Eduardo and Betty were amazing hosts. Betty is a very good cook. We were in a tropical storm so we decided to drive to the coast for a few days. But we enjoyed our vacation.

Hospitality is the bottom line :)

This was our 4th trip to CR, and we have stayed in a different VRBO each time. This was the least-expensive home we have stayed in. While not luxurious, it was welcoming and comfortable. The gardens are stunning. My husband is a "pacer," and he spent lots of time strolling through the gorgeous hydrangeas, birds of paradise, etc. Hummingbirds and butterflies also enjoy the gardens. Eduardo and Betty are first-rate hosts. They were available without being obtrusive. Eduardo gave us a lesson in coffee roasting, and we brought home the 2 bags we prepared. Betty made us two meals, both wonderful. There are a couple of living spaces. The main lounge seating area is on the outdoor deck. Because of the winds, we weren't able to spend a lot of time there. The kitchen and dining area has table seating, but no couches. Two game tables fill the space. This area also has ample sliding doors that can be opened to gain access to the gardens while also letting in the breeze. I was surprised at how cool it was in the evenings and bought a pair of sweats to change into after the sun went down. This was a wonderful "home base" and we took Eduardo's suggestions for hiking areas within driving distance.

Quiet getaway outside of Heredia

Fantastic stay with Eduardo and Betty, they are excellent hosts who went above and beyond. They make you feel right at home, we will miss them. The only 'con' would be that the house is so remote, not close to any sites we wanted to see, however, we had no issues getting Uber rides and Eduardo was also willing to offer ride service.

Peaceful Stay in Paradise

The property is incredibly beautiful; full of lush flowers, fruit trees, exotic birds, and a trail that leads to a large, clear, mountain stream. The temperature is cool and mild and theres a great view of the surrounding vegitation from the second story. Eduardo and his wife are beyond hospitable and welcoming, and made every effort to find ways to make our stay memorable and comfortable. I would highly recommend you purchase their delicious, aromatic coffee. Ots grown on the property otself, and Eduardo grinds it freshly for you at your request. Nothing but love for this place and the hosts! Pura vida!

Beautiful home close to San Jose

Great accommodations if you want to be close to San Jose but not in the city. Wonderful hosts who were extremely helpful even though they were out of town during our visit. You are in the middle of beautiful gardens and small coffee farm. Feel safe and secure with locked gate to property. We stayed just a couple of nights before heading elsewhere, and it was a great stopover for us. Reasonably priced and a friend of the owners even made dinner for us the first night because we arrived so late. Lovely people!

Beautful space and amazing hosts

The property itself is beautiful, peaceful, and well maintained. We were very comfortable and the view from the main building is splendid.The hosts are amazing, warm and welcoming. We leraned about their small-scale coffee production and even got to help out, which was a lot of fun. It almost felt like a homestay experience the way they took the time to interact with us. My husband and two adult children also loved the experience and said it was one of the highlights from the entire trip.

Costa Rican hospitality

Eduardo and Betty are the best! I was treated like family there. I took a tour with Eduardo and he is the ultimate guide, we even had lunch at his favorite soda. He took me to the airport at 4.30 am to pick up my wife because I didn’t want to drive in the dark. Not only did I make a new acquaintance, I made new friends.

Five Stars are Not Enough

The reviews are true… beautiful property and AMAZING hosts. Eduardo and Betty make you feel like instant family. They are incredibly sweet and hospitable. There are no words to describe Betty’s cooking; we didn’t want to leave the kitchen. The arepas, Spanish tortilla, and paella were definitely favorites. The fresh, grown on location, coffee was the best (5 bags came home with us!). We appreciated Eduardo’s local knowledge as we hiked and looked for sloths and other wildlife. Grounds were beautiful and accommodations were comfortable. Definitely recommend!

Great hospitality

One of the best experience we have ever had. Eduardo and Betty are the best. They will go out of there way to help you. We stayed here a week for my wife's birthday. They made us feel like we were home celebrating. They bought my wife a cake and we celebrated at a hot spring with his family and friends. Betty's cooking is delicious, she taught my wife how to make homemade tortillas. Ask for the coffee, coffee tea, or the guava juice (which is my favorite). We have now family in Costa Rica and we will be back again. Love you Eduardo and Betty can't wait to see you all again.

It was an amazing adventure would be an understatement!!

Before we booked the property we were a bit skeptical, all of these excellent reviews?? Could this place be that great?? Well, let me tell you YES, the property and the owners are that great and then some!! From the time Eduardo picked us up at our hotel we felt like we were part of the family, on our arrival we were greeted by Eduardo's wife Betty and their two wonderful doggos, Anute and Legertha... The building was gorgeous and well appointed, waking up every morning to amazing views, the sounds of birds and the river running through the property was sublime!! We were asked if we would like to learn about coffee farming, we immediately said yes!!! We picked beans, shelled,dried, roasted, ground and packaged the coffee beans, Eduardo is a walking encyclopedia of coffee and Costa Rican information.. Betty is an amazing chef, we sampled many dishes and fresh fruit juices during our stay!! But the thing that stands out about our stay is the way Eduardo and Betty invited us to experience daily life... Whether it be a trip to the mall with their granddaughter, tacos from a local Soda, or our absolute favorite attending a soccer match between Saprissa and Vancouver, an event we will never forget!!!!! They allowed us to be immersed in daily Costa Rican life and to us that was so special!! We did the tourist things as well..Hikes and waterfalls and wildlife, but our favorite thing was the end of day sunsets and the solitude that the evening would bring.. What an adventure we had!

A gem near the Metropolis

Betty and Eduardo have created a stunning rural ambiance very near an urban area. It's difficult to put into words, but guests will understand quickly that even though there are few noises outside of an occasional vaca mooing, or a dog barking in the distance, urban life is only minutes away. They are cordial, inviting, and as far as I know, tolerant. We had some folks over on the last night we were there. I was worried that it was too noisy, but Eduardo and Betty didn't complain. They are very professional. I will be back!

Fantastic 16 hour stay!

This property is ALL about the fantastic owners! I got there about 5 pm, and the next morning I had to leave by 9am, and I felt like I was saying goodbye to some long time friends! Eduardo showed me his beautiful property and explained the coffee roasting process in full detail. Betty cooked me a delicious dinner and breakfast which is common in her home country of Venezuela. We shared drinks and learned so much about each other's families, hobbies, careers, etc. Just super nice, genuine people. And the property itself is beautiful, quiet, and serene! If I return to Costa Rica, I will definitely try to book here again, and if it is already booked, I may just go visit for a while! Book this if it is available!!

Little Slice of Paradise

The setting is surreal, as you walk the property you see the incredible biodiversity that Costa Rica is known for. Eduardo and Betty are so warm and welcoming from the moment you pull into the gate. This mountainside property offers a view of the volcano, every plant and flower imaginable and a tour of his coffee farm. We then took a walk down to the stream that runs through the property, words cannot express the beauty down there. We sat and had coffee, tea and fresh fruit with them for breakfast and met their pets over fascinating conversation and laughter. We bought their coffee and coffee/tea and were lucky enough to bag our own. Wishing we had more than one night there as Eduardo takes his guests on local tours, he is so knowledgable. MUST STAY in this tropical paradise!!

Incredible hosts

There are no words to describe the beauty of this property. It is cared for with love and it is pure joy to sit in the garden and soak it all in. We have travelled extensively over the years and have never encountered such incredible hosts. No request went unanswered. We did not have a car so Eduardo was kind enough to help us get around locally. He is also a marvelous tour guide and has extensive knowledge about the history , culture, flora and fauna of Costa Rica. We visited several natural parks with him including experiencing first hand the processing of coffee beans from harvesting to roasting at his plantation Betty, Eduardo’s wife, delighted us with so many wonderful meals and surprises, like breakfast on our first day and a birthday cake and a surprise departure breakfast in addition to home made goodies throughout our stay. We highly recommend Posada Gosen but being at over a mile high make sure you dress appropriately as it was quite windy and cool specially in the evenings unlike the coastal areas. Thank you Eduardo and Betty for your wonderful hospitality.
