This place was truly incredible and exactly what we were looking for. There is a private waterfall and swimming area that you HAVE to take advantage of. In addition to the scenic beauty of the entire property they had a very friendly chocolate lab named Elly who came to our villa every day and sat with us for hours. Our host Markus was wonderful and responsive. We had no problem with the WIFI and streamed Netflix in the evenings before bed. If I could have changed anything in all honestly, I would have liked for there to be an air conditioner in the villa. When we were there, it was in the mid 90's every day and after hiking and excursions it would have been nice to cool the room for relief. With that said I would absolutely stay there again!!!!!

Markus is the best. He truly does everything to make the stay exactly what we wanted. The horse back riding was a wonderful treat, even for our kids that have never been on a horse before. The pool area is so beautiful only to be outdone by the natural pools out at the end of the hiking trails on this magical property. I would highly recommend this property to anyone that loves nature and wants to see the best of Costa Rica. Thank you Markus!

Only thing missing was a more comfortable chair for the porch. Nights cooled down and the house had great air flow. Easy to get to beach and Manuel Antonio. Best of all were the local waterfalls and natural pools that Ellie the farm dog was more than happy to escort you to.

My family of 5 stayed at Markus' farm in Parrita for 3-days earlier this month. This property is even more beautiful and peaceful than the photos suggest. My whole family thoroughly enjoyed the stay, especially our 5-year old twins who fell in love with the animals (especially the deer) and stunning, waterfall fed swimming hole that is just a short hike from the cottage. The farm is set in the mountain jungle, with a beautiful ravine view right out the front door of the cottage. The cottage itself has all amenities and is set in a very private area away from the main house. In order to fully relax, we took advantage of the meals offered for both breakfast and dinner each day. Every dish Markus prepared for us was fresh and delicious!Thank you, Markus, for such an enjoyable stay. We hope to be back some day!
