Met every expectation and more
First impression- beautiful landscaping - central air throughout - fun outdoor area, with plenty of shelter for rainy times when you want to be outside - comfortable beds and large living space and outside decks - close walking to town 15 min. - close to hiking, mystic bridges, horseback riding, Los logos hot springs and waterfall repelling 20-30 min drive and some are less. We did all. It was fabulous. Allen was very helpful at arranging everything and made all our arrangements. Definitely would recommend. Thank you for everything

Fantastic place for family in LaFortuna!
All great. Absolutely nothing I can say that was bad. Very clean. We had a family of 9, and there was plenty of room. Great location, walking distance to the city if you don't have a rental. All rooms had great A/C. Beds were all good. Plenty of hot water even when everyone was using it. Have Guiselle next door cook for you. Yes, there are plenty of good restaurants in LaFortuna, but it was very convenient, great food and it makes your vacation easier. Thanks for the fantastic food! We would go back anytime!

Wonderful property for families
We stayed here with two other families and it was perfect. The shallow pool offered them ease for swimming, and the house was located close to downtown and other amenities.

Beautiful house even better hostess!
Just got home from our stay in Costa Rica. It was a group of 10 best friends all women. I can’t say enough about our stay. Giselle the home owner met us at front door and went over everything with us. She made us breakfast every morning that we are still talking about. She helped us order pizza to hang around the pool. She was an excellent host. She even squeezed fresh juice and had that waiting for us. Alonso from the tour company took care of everything from start til finish. He arranged transportation and tours. Got us rides in and out of town. He was quick to answer all my questions. He was amazing! Town is only about a 10 minute walk, the area is safe, lots of great places to eat and go dancing. We hiked, swam in waterfalls, went on ATVs. Baldi hot spring was an incredible experience. Overall we could not have had a better time or picked a better home. We will definitely be booking again! Thank you for showing us an amazing time!

Great location, more for family the Adults
The check in process was not an easy task. We had to go into town meet with manager. He then drove us to the house and then we had to have a 20 minute speech on house rules from the owner. All this could have taken place through email. Also a keypad or door code would have been preferred other then wasting an hour going into town then going back to the house. The rooms are more for kids aside from the master. The lay out was awkward! However if you have kids the outside area was great! Do not recommend this house for adults but it’s great for families! It is a great location and was clean!

Great family house
We had a wonderful stay. Our group of 9 people had 4 kids aged 4-7 and the pool area was perfect for them! There are plenty of beds and seating area in the house to accommodate quite large groups.

great family home
Lovely home for our family. We enjoyed our stay and Eder was very helpful with all our needs. Two items that could be improved: 1. We had two elderly family members with us. The house does not accommodate people with mobility issues. There are unnecessary steps within the house and uneven landscaping walkways outside. It would be good if this were stated in the description. 2.After a huge day of travel, we had to stop at the office downtown before proceeding to the house. It would have been much easier if someone from the office just met us at the house to let us in. It added another 30 minutes to an already long day.
