Everything was perfect.

Great stay with incredible views. You need 4x4 to get there but it's the part of the adventure. Great and friendly staff, delicious breakfest

Amazing stay at the lodge. We were at the sunrise lodge and this one was more isolated from the main house which we loved. We saw so many birds in the morning and our stay was magical. The highlight of our Costa Rica trip. Also we hosts are super friendly and available if you have any questions.

Amazing location challenging drive to reach it but so worth it , you need a 4x4 but don’t be put off by this as it’s Natures paradise when you arrive. Host made arrangements for us to have our dinner from local restaurant delivered to us which was lovely. We will stay again

The breakfast was beyond amazing and delicious, it offered so many choices! We loved the Sunrise Cabin, had everything we needed and highly recommend this place. Enjoyed our walks all around, thank you!

The ranch was so nice. Amazing views across the valley to the nearby volcano. It's remote and the road is a little bumpy to get up (you need 4X4) so best to bring food in with you. Breakfast was really good in a beautiful room with a great view.

The drive up to the bungalows is a challenge and a 4 wheel drive vehicle essential.

The bungalows were comfortable, private and with great views of Turrialba volcano. They are set in a sizeable plot and there are paths within it to explore the forest. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly. Breakfasts were delightful with a great selection of fresh fruit, nuts, granola, toast and eggs served in a beautiful dining cabin.

The location and views are breathtaking, the hosts are amazing, facilities are great and the over all experience was awesome. You can take a walk, you can sit and watch the volcano, there is horseback riding … we loved it!

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful place! We stayed in the Sunrise Cabin, which was secluded and offered a truly relaxing experience. The views were breathtaking, and the property itself is expansive and meticulously maintained. Mia and Ranzel were outstanding hosts, assisting us with anything we needed. For example, when we needed a flashlight at night to search for owls we could hear around us, they were quick to help. Dayanna also responded almost immediately to any questions we had over WhatsApp, making everything so convenient. The cabin was spotless and came with a fully equipped kitchenette, making it feel like a home away from home. Breakfast was another highlight—not only was the food delicious, but the dining area itself was lovely and inviting. I can’t recommend this place highly enough!

Nothing it to like

Superb peaceful location in the hills overlooking a smoking volcano. Not just that but the most wonderful breakfast including fresh eggs from the pet chickens. Birding guide Steven was amazing, pointing out so many spots that we would never have seen without him!!

Not one thing.

One of the most peaceful places I have ever stayed. The hosts were wonderful and accommodating as well as the staff. Every need was thought of.

The cabins have a breathtaking mountain view of Turrialba and Turrialba volcano. We traveled in March turtle and it was nice and cool at night. The cabins have everything you need to stay there for several days or weeks. We only stayed one night because it was a stopping point to Pacuare River Lodge for kayaking. We wished we had stayed longer. A beautiful breakfast is included and was served in their communal area where there’s also wine to purchase (after your long drive from San Jose, you’ll need a drink.) you park your car at the village in the bottom and ride up with your luggage on a 4 x 4 “Mule” and it takes six minutes up the hill. The couple that runs it and their staff are lovely. It would be a great midway point for a trip to Puerto Viejo on the Caribbean side. I would recommend taking the northern route there and not the one through Catago like we did. I could imagine someone staying there for a few weeks to write a book!

The sloth didn’t show itself!! But that’s nature!

We loved it was so remote with phenomenal views. The cabins had lovely verandas and spectacular vistas down into the valley below. We saw a lot of toucans and other birds and a coyote (although we heard them in the night too). We loved the grounds and the family feel. Breakfast was superb with free range eggs and milk from their cows. I recommend you walk the trail if you’re able, it’s a bit hard going on the lungs if you’re not gym fit, but manageable. Lovely vistas and you might see a sloth. Good hot showers, good kitchen and utensil. Definately get Daniel & Raquel to pick you up from the bottom if you haven’t got a hardy 4x4, they’re a lovely couple who help out. Thank you

Nothing, it was perfect!

The views are absolutely stunning. This is a place literally up in the clouds! Mia, Ranzel, and the whole staff could not have been more welcoming. It’s a very VERY chill stay though, so plan accordingly if you have little kids. I also can’t stress enough the need for a 4x4 to get there; our rental company “upgraded” us from X-Trail to Audi Q3 (ugh), and we weren’t able to make it all the way up. Thankfully the staff came down and picked us up!

Yes, you need a 4x4 car, the road up the mountain was challenging, however, good news, the owners said the road is supposed to be fixed next year, I would check back with them. They do provide a one time round trip service if you are not keen on making the trek.

Imagine driving up and up a mountain to arrive at your own cottage with outstanding views of the clouds, town and distant mountain range (and volcano). The accommodation is outstanding with a wonderful Tica vibe (we stayed in the Toucan Cottage). The bed and shower are really good, with a small efficiency kitchen for those interested in a longer stay. The breakfast was served in a common area, it too was lovely, tropical and delicious.

Such a great experience ! We spent a night on these hills in a very cosy lovely chalet. Steven brought us through the night on a bumpy adventorous natural street up to the lodge. View and landscape are amaizing. Mia and Ranzel are lovely and very helpful patrons. We had a flat tire; their staff fixed it within minutes! Delicious breakfast with view, all done with care and love. Thank you so much!

We loved everything about the property. The location is spectacular, the wildlife amazing and the people fantastic

I didn't have cell phone service and most of the residents in the area only spoke Spanish, which I unfortunately could not speak. Maybe to help those without cell service to draw a map or take a video on making the Right turn turn at the clinic to the dirt road, as most rental car navigation systems stop giving directions at the clinic on the left on 10. You MUST rent a 4x4 to get to the lodge and please add extra time to your drive coming from San Jose' airport as traffic congestion is really bad and there is only a one lane winding road going and coming, which can slow you down because you have to stay behind buses and 18 wheelers, making the drive much longer. The lodge however does provide transportation up and down the mountain if needed, which was a great help!

Amazing views, comfort, excellent service and very friendly and helpful staff. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and also the horseback riding tour and the amazing full body massage that Raquel offers. David and Steve were exceptional hosts and were quick to answer any questions and provide assistance when needed. Thank you for an amazing vacation!!!!!!!!

We loved the calm and remote location, the beautiful and well-maintained property, the stunning view and the trails. This was our second-last and best accommondation. The „street“ getting there is quite an adventure, but well-manageable with a 4x4.

Great views and location. Friendly hosts. Fresh breakfast made mostly from their farm. Very peaceful and lots to explore.

The property is gorgeous. The cabins are beautifully built and really cozy. We stayed in the Sunrise cabin and had total privacy. We took tons of hikes and enjoyed walking to breakfast each day at the main house. We didn’t have a 4x4 but scheduling a ride up was so easy.

There was NOTHING to not like!

Everything!!! The Cabin, the views, the property, the Sloth the Toucans, Raquel and Daniel, dinner, breakfast - all so thoughtful and with love! We live in Costa Rica and cannot wait to return to this magical place! Muchas gracias!!

We had an awesome time at the lodge, which is in a beautiful and remote area (you are going to need a 4x4 or they’ll come and pick you up from the bottom of the trail). You are surrounded by nature and everything is really neat and clean! Breakfast is excellent! We did an horse riding tour with Walter and we just loved it! we spent only 2 nights but would love to spend some more time! The management was very friendly and helpful! totally recommend it! 10!!
