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!

Simple hotel with great food
I stayed here on the first night of a cycling trip and it was a great place to stay with tasty food and friendly staff. The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable, but the wifi didn’t reach the room.

Extremely rustic cabins. But clean though basic. Cold water only. Excellent food. Orchids, birds and monkeys. Nice people. Follow directions given to the property and don’t let your GPS deviate you from that route or you could get stuck in the mud!

The owner/host was incredibly kind and generous with her time, cooking, attention, recommendations, willingness to help us learn Spanish -- everything. I cannot recommend this place enough. The food was incredible. The garden was beautiful. If you want to get away from big hotels and stay in the mountains and rainforest with some wonderful people. This is the place for you.

The most delightful hotel experience I have had in years, from the beauty, to the price to -especially!- the service. The cabins are rustic in every way but comfortable and complete. You will wake up next to a pond and surrounded by a functional farm with both farm and wild life. Breakfast and dinner ‘tipoco’ will be served by the most delightful people. I have no idea about lunch because you will be in the middle of the ‘Valle Verde’ and it’s Volcano National Parks and many hot springs and rivers, so you will be busy. This is the perfect place to get away from it all and emblematic in every way of “Pura Vida” and I cannot wait to return. Drive East to Bagaces and then North on 164 so that google maps doesn’t lead you to the back way, which you can explore at your leisure while exploring the local volcanoes and hot springs.
