Mountain Nest

Fantastic views, delicious food made by the hosts.

The place is magical. Serene with great views. All the travels to and from Mountain Nest and to Semuc Champey were organizedized perfectly. Ideal for a romantic retreat. The last 200 m is walking - so be prepared. The less baggage the better. The caregiver Carlos helped us with that as well.

Super hosts, beautiful place

The guesthouse is run by Remy and Darina, a French-American couple who have lived in Guatemala for over 10 years. Communication with Remy was excellent before and during our stay. All information was provided clearly in advance, including road conditions, travel times, and food options. He was always responsive and helpful. The house is fully wooden, beautifully furnished, very functional, and designed for up to 3-4 guests. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed to cook. Hot water is available at all times and heated by gas. All windows open onto a stunning view of the mountains. The large terrace with loungers offers breathtaking views at any time of day. The view is also visible from the bathroom. The shower, with a panoramic window overlooking the valley, is one of the most beautiful we have experienced in Guatemala. The garden around the house features cacao trees and creates a peaceful atmosphere. There is also a campfire area next to the terrace, with firewood provided on request. As the house is immersed in nature, insects are present, which is completely normal. There are no dangerous or venomous creatures, and any visitors can simply be gently guided back outside. We ordered breakfasts and dinners from the menu provided in advance and enjoyed all meals very much. Everything was prepared with care and attention to our preferences. Highly recommended. Access is only possible by jeep, as clearly indicated. Even in the dry season, the road is too rough for a regular car. From the parking area, the final access to the house involves a short but steep 5–7 minute walk over uneven terrain. Remy thoughtfully provides walking sticks, which makes this walk much easier and safer. From Lanquín bus station, the drive takes about 25 minutes. Transportation can be easily arranged with a trusted driver recommended by Remy. Semuc Champey National Park is about 45-50 minutes away from the Nest.
