Finka Khan was one of the most beautiful properties I have ever stayed at. The open air concept overlooking the ocean, in the middle of the rain forest…perfection. We saw so many beautiful birds. The hiking trails were well maintained. The location was close enough to town that you could drive to restaurants/markets. As noted by the host, you will need a 4x4. ##### shasta h.

The property is gorgeous and so are the views. Lori is an amazing host and helped us with all of our needs. One of the many things that we loved, was the fact that the pool was cold. The weather was extremely hot while we were in Costa Rica and this was the ONLY place we stayed that had a cold pool. I highly recommend ordering the in-house prepared meals. The food was absolutely delicious. We love it so much there, that my now fiancé proposed to me during our stay. ##### Melissa N.

We were awaken by monkeys nearly every morning. If you're a bird watcher, you don't have to go anywhere, simply sit in the open air living room and birds are 360 degrees around you. The nature trails on the property are secluded and dense. Make sure you have 4 wheel drive, the property is pretty far up a steep gravel road. ##### Jaye H. Stayed 8 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 11 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Property in a Beautiful Location Elevated high above Uvita, the property extended views into both the Jungle and the Pacific Ocean below. The facilities were good and it provided us an excellent platform to explore the surrounding area. Lori was pleasant to deal with, provided good information to get there and the facilities in the local area. Note - 4x4 is a must! We hired a local guide in Uvita and were shown Sloths, Monkeys, Cayman, Macaws and a Tree Boa (Snake)! Definitely recommend this and a Whale/ Dolphin Tour. Local restaurants/ bars are good. Particularly enjoyed the Craft pub 'Uvita Beer Garden' situated off the road on the way up to the house. Also, recommend heading right out of the property, up the hill and take in sunset across the Ocean - Stunning! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Missy G. 1 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Private Pacific Panorama We arrived a Finca Khan and were greeted by Lori and Bobby, our hosts. Over the course of our one week stay, they were very helpful with any questions we had, whether it was about the home or with questions about the area. The view of the valley and ocean from the open air living/kitchen space is stunning, with varieties of tropical birds and butterflies everyday. We liked relaxing at the house much of the time, so having the dipping pool was nice for cooling off. The property was fun to explore, and there are even paths down to the forest floor river bed. The upstairs of the house is basically set in the canopy of primary forest jungle. The howler monkeys were heard each morning, but we didn't see them without binoculars. We saw the troop of capuchin monkeys once as they swung through trees behind the house. The upstairs bedrooms and the two downstairs bathrooms are all enclosed. We kept the windows open at night for nice air circulation. Since the property is gated, we felt quite safe. The bedroom doors can be locked, and even the refrigerators have locks in case hungry critters are looking for a snack. The kitchen has everything we needed for cooking. There was a pretty heavy rainstorm during our stay, and the electricity went out. We had brought our own flashlights, but there are also flashlights at the house and an umbrella to use. We would definitely recommend this house and would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thanks, Lori and Bobby! ##### Missy G.

Communication was very easy, Lori made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay one to remember. We were fortunate enough to have Gabby come in and cook a couple meals for us, fabulous, highly recommended. She made fantastic meals, presented beautifully and cleaned up.

We had an amazing time at this property. It was private and close to everything we needed. Groceries, restaurants and the beach are all about 5-10 minute drive down the mountain. We were surrounded by monkeys and toucans...it was really nice and the view was incredible. We also took a walk along the trails that lead us down to streams and a water pool, it was very cool to explore. Lori was super polite and available for any questions we had. Our family had a wonderful time and loved everything about the property. Thank you for the lovely stay. Pedro, Vera and little Julian ##### Pedro V.

Comfortable bed and outdoor furniture to enjoy the beauty of the jungle. A small pool to relax in complete privacy. Kitchen could use some additional items. Great master bath and an adequate smaller bath. Outdoor stairs from bedroom to baths downstairs. The meal we requested was delicious and more than adequate. Yumm! ##### Susan M.

The owners are simply just beautiful people who are beyond helpful and go out of their way to make sure your stay is perfect. Any info you need or help with planning and they are on it making everything easy. The place itself and the location are simply magical. You are completely private nestled in the rainforest with incredible views of the coast and just as everyone says photos just don't compare to being there. Everyday the birds and wildlife were abundant. Howler monkeys and White Faced monkeys taking turns coming to visit right at your door. Various exotic birds, Toucans of different varieties, and animals such as the Coati and Agouti's passing by. There is also 2 private trails that go to pretty creeks and one even has a waterfall and you have this all to yourself. The area of Uvita is fun and the people are always friendly. You will not find a more pleasant and adventurous place to stay in Costa Rica. Thank You so much for this experience! ##### Ames F.

Everything was as depicted. It was peaceful, beautiful, comfortable and frankly a piece of heaven on earth. We enjoyed the open concept, wildlife sights and sounds. Toucans, monkeys, blue morpho butterflies and more. My husband, daughter and I did not want to leave. Beautiful views, private and safe setting. Lori was quick to respond to any questions or needs before and during our stay. She had excellent recommendations for things to do and places to eat. We were sad to leave but hope to return someday. Thanks for a great stay! ##### Amy B.

A little warm during the day but pleasant at night even without air conditioning. The howler monkeys are very loud although we never saw them. We did have a family of white face monkeys move thru the trees for about an hour. The lower hammock was the best place to watch them. Many toucans and other birds flew over all day. The house is very clean, stocked and well lit. Too far to walk to anything on such a steep and rocky road but it was never hard to get a driver. Spotty wifi but is what should be expected in the jungle. A wonderful nature house. ##### Amber W.

The small pool at the home was very refreshing for when we needed to cool off. Lori (property manager) was VERY helpful through the entire process, from start to finish. She was very willing to book tours for us and suggest things to do in the area. There is a person on site to help with anything you may need. If it's wildlife you are looking for, you should choose this home. Monkeys appear almost every morning and play in the trees, and even if you don't see them, you definitely hear them. We saw them and toucans almost daily, along with beautiful butterflies, frogs and other animals, as the jungle is steps from this home. The home is equipped with a kitchen so you can cook your own meals, which we did do. It has two bedrooms and two baths - very nice home. The home is just about 5 to 10 minutes outside of Uvita which is a very lovely little town. Uvita has plenty of restaurants to choose from and a nice size supermercado (BM Supermercado was the one we liked the best), but there is more than one there. If you stay there, be certain you have a 4 x 4 vehicle as the home is on a mountain road - it was a great experience overall for certain. ##### Ann C.

If you are looking for a unique experience, this house will not disappoint. Lori and Bobby are great hosts and freely provide a myriad of suggested activities in and around the property and area. The open kitchen on the ground floor is spectacular, allowing for meals to be prepared and consumed while enjoying the sights and sounds of the rainforest. Yes, an occasional insect will fly into this open air space but that too is the beauty of the experience. Being situated some 1000 feet above sea level, the air remained rather cool but damp. The two fully enclosed bedrooms "upstairs" allowed for a comfortable night's sleep with only the ceiling fan on. Air conditioning at this altitude was not a necessity and coolness provided our family with a brief respite from the heat of the coast. The small dipping pool was fun for the girls and provided hours of entertainment for us all, particularly in the evening with the pool lights on. The wifi was spotty at best and although all of our devices had a high signal strength from the local access point, we could not obtain a consistent connection in any of our four devices. This was only important insofar as we were unable to complete COVID documentations and scheduling requirements in preparation for our departure. Overall, a wonderful place!! Highly recommended for those looking for a unique accommodation situated in a rainforest. NOTE: As others have stated, a 4WD vehicle is a must to get this property. ##### Thomas F.

On ne peut etre plus pres de la nature. Magnifique accueil. Bien que la piscine soit petite, cest parfait pour se rafraichir lors des journees chaudes. Ca prend vraiment un 4x4 pour s'y rendre. Je vous recommande grandement cet endroit ##### Veronique S.

But if you don’t like the heat or are sensitive with insects, I don’t think you would enjoy it. I must have missed the fact that there was no AC so it was difficult to cool down. The first floor of the house could use a big fan. The fact that all the cabinets and frig needed to be locked was inconvenient for cooking. The kitchen could use a peeler and a strainer. The driveway is very loud when others drive by. It was an experience in true outdoor Tico living! ##### Stacy H.

This place is peaceful and tranquil. Within 5 mins of arriving at the property I was fast asleep in one of the hammocks! ##### michael m.

We began our Costa Rican stay in Uvita. Could have easily been our only stay. Small town charm and lots to see. The ride up to the property is intimidating, but Lori met us at the bottom and guided us up. Shortly, I was a pro. Didn't even use 4wd the remainder of the trip! The home is amazing! Best way to connect with the rain forest. Everything you need is there. The pool was disappointing, more like a large bathtub. We never used it, but it was pretty with the lights on! Uvita is where I'll return when I revisit! ##### Snapper V. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2021 ---
