This place is a hidden gem! The rustic cabins are well maintained and clean. A short walk from the cabin and you arrive at the restaurant where the food is amazing and reasonably priced. The hosts were so nice and helpful, making suggestions for our hikes and other options for dinner (although we ate on site 4 times it was so good). Our kids miss Lucky and Domino and wanted to take the puppies home :-) I would definitely recommend!

Rustikale Cabañas inmitten eines herrlichen Gartens. Hier haben wir die meisten Tukane und Kolibris während unserer gesamten Reise gesehen. Einfach aber mit viel Charme. Und hat es echt gut gefallen. Preiswertes, gutes Essen im dazugehörigen Restaurant. Der Shortcut zum Rincón de la vieja NP sollte nur mit einem geländegängigen Fahrzeug befahren werden.

For travellers expecting luxury and air conditioning, this is not that experience. It is rural (some dodgy roads to get there), and basic but clean and well maintained cabins.

We absolutely loved our 4 night stay here!! We stayed at the family cabin, ehich the kids loved as it looked like a treehouse! We took advantage of the horseback riding, the view and tour guide were incredible and if we had another day there, we would have went again. The owners were fantastic with communication before and during iur stay, they even offered to have dinner ready for us upon our late arrival, which made things much easier after a long travel day. The food was so good and so much serviced, we had a hard time finishing everything! On top of the services they offered, they also let the kids go milk cows and provided us with tips ans suggestions we took for local areas ehich was greatly appreciated ♡ i could say so much more about how much we loved it there and would recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in the area, especially with children!!

We loved the remoteness of it, and the friendliness of the lady who served us dinner and breakfast. This is not like a stay in the more touristy parts of Costa Rica like La Fortuna or Monteverde. This is off the beaten path. Its not as close to the Rincon de la Vieja park as we originally thought (1h30 drive time on poor quality roads, in theory there was a straighter distance road but we didn't trust our rental AWD Rav4 would be able to get there).
