Simply, WOW
Although the photos are great, they simply don’t do the place justice. Kelly has mindfully designed and built something spectacular with this place. He and his wife, Alejandra were so friendly and welcoming. They also own a restaurant on the property that we ate at and not only was it some of the best food we have eaten on our trip, the prices were incredible too. This is more than 5/5, we would say 10/10.

Awesome
We cannot recommend this location highly enough. The pictures are accurate. Upon checking in the owners met with us and were very nice. It is located directly next to a restaurant the owners also own. Food was fantastic. If you want to be off the beaten path and you will not be disappointed. If and when return to the area, this is exactly where we would stay again. The owner Kelly is super cool. Lots of passion went into the property design and into his restaurant.

Beautiful hidden gem with amazing views
The host was extremely attentive and readily available. We were provided local recommendations for anything and everything, including dining and various adventures for all activity levels. The views were spectacular and the restaurant on the property was delicious, serving lunch and dinner!!! The property is the last driveway on the left, just prior to the butterfly conservatory (on the right). I used the butterfly conservatory address on Waze maps to have a solid destination. Rate this property, host, and overall experince extremely highly!

Perfect Oasis
Great place with a fantastic view of the lake and volcano. The host also operates a wonderful restaurant on the property. We will definitely be looking to stay here again when visit Costa Rica for our next adventure.

Beyond Our Expectations
There were 3 of us in our party and we were thrilled with every part of our stay. We met at the restaurant after a long drive from the airport and sat down for lunch at the hosts highly rated cafe with stunning views of the volcano and lake. The property itself is behind the cafe and offers privacy and amazing views. It was creatively designed and was delivered spotless. Oh! The very generous host also provided us with a welcome basket of food in the refrigerator specifically for us. We were very close to town and honestly it was so busy in La Fortuna that we appreciated being just outside of the hustle and bustle. Thank you to our host and his team for all of your suggestions and a wonderful stay. You have an absolutely gorgeous casita.
