Able to drive right to the property thanks to google maps. Incredible home with magnificent view of the volcano. AC worked well in all rooms. Bugs were an issue at night times but we kept off the outside lights to eliminate that problem

This very spacious farmhouse is actually part of an intergenerational family farm and restaurant where you can see many animals up close, get a fresh breakfast, and even take cooking classes. During our stay, we enjoyed back porch views of the Arenal volcano and rainforest wildlife, playing in the mini-pool that was perfect for kids, and learning about how to press sugar cane (and all the other flora) grown on the farm. Lola, the family dog was a treat as well. The drive into the town of La Fortuna is only about 5 minutes and our hosts had several ideas for us to explore that were enriching and inexpensive. Some of our favorites were a hike to see a waterfall, the El Salto rope swing, and free hot springs. We highly recommend this stay for families with children and folks who want an experience that is off the beaten path, but still kind of close to it.

This house is a typical, Costa Rican rustic farmhouse experience. As many locals do, living outside is a way of life & this house offers an outside experience with a generous, deep wrap around porch to enjoy Vulcan Arenal, an uninterrupted rainforest view down the valley, lovely landscaped grounds & birds galore. More comfortable deck furniture would be an improvement. Bedrooms are adequate. Kitchen is adequate but more shelves & cooking supplies would be an improvement. The cold tub on deck was delightful after a hot day of activity. The only warm water is in the showers via a shower head that warms water. There's a reason the bathrooms are not featured in the VRBO description. They are quite rough. Master bath was marginally acceptable. Large shower was moldy. Sink was a weird brown tree trunk created of cement. Hard to determine if sink was clean. 2nd bath sink was the same & shower was unacceptable with scummy doors off track & moldy. All plumbing drains emitted a sewer gas odor that took a few days to dissipate.. There's room for improvement to justify the daily rate.

We enjoyed to peaceful tranquility, interrupted only by the birdsong and laughter. Superb hosts, Costa Rican paradise. Highly recommend!
