Stay at least 2nights

The cabin was fitted out for 3 people but would have been a bit cramped. Ideal for 2 bearing in mind that the temperature drops dramatically to about 6C at night. However Ana provided plenty of blankets and a heater, whilst we took clothing to suit the outside temperature. The location at the head of the San Gerado valley and at about 8000ft above sea level is spectacular and very different to any other location we had visited during our 21 days in Costa Rica. A trip down the valley is well worth it, especially before 6.30am in order to have a chance to view the varied wildlife in the area. Include a road walk if birding ( there are Quetzals in the area). But remember to get back before breakfast ends! Breakfast was typical Gallo Pinto with great coffee and the restaurant has a limited but good value menu for evening meals. There is a pizzeria opposite providing an alterative to Comidas Tipicas. The 12k Colones size is big enough for 2. Ana also has a bird feeding station giving great photo opportunities. This is one place I'd love to go back to some time, but at 74 time is not on my side!!

Having to share the idyll with others!!

Une honte

Un très mauvais moment

Nous sommes arrivés a 20h, étant a l'étranger nous n'avons pas de connexion 3G/4G, et personne ne nous a accueilli. Ces cabanes sont au milieu de nul part. Si il n'y avais pas d'autre client nous aurions dormis dans la voiture. Nous avons du les déranger chez eux pour leur demander le code WIFI pour pouvoir contacter notre hote, qui ne nous a ni salué, et ne s'est pas excusé... En revanche il etait bien la le lendemain a 7h pour recevoir son paiement, la il ne nous a pas oublié !

If you want to see quetzals, this is the place

This is a family owned cabin business with a small restaurant and great deck to view a large variety of birds including the infamous Quetzal. The stay was minimalist cabins but worth the stay to see many Quetzals. Restuarant has good selection of meals. The family were very friendly and helpful and even came to let us know that the quetzals were arriving for the late afternoon visit. We also had a great hike down to the waterfall.

Wifi was slow, our cabin was cramped, linens and pillows were older, but the bathrooms were nice and modern.

Incredible staff and location

The place was incredible the owners even helped to find clothes for my kids, I will definably be back in the future. For the price this was on of the best places I've stayed in Costa Rica and the climate was absolutely incredible.

I liked it all

A beautiful stay in San Gerardo

We loved Mirjam, her mom and the whole staff. They were all very friendly and helpful! they run a small restaurant just in front the cabin, from there you have a privileged spot on the terrace to look out for birds while enjoying a beautiful batido de moras! Breakfast was also great! Mirjam was also helpful in finding a guide for the Quetzal tour!

It was very basic for the price we paid. The heater was a bit noisy and also the blankets weren’t super clean.

Pleasant

The owner is really friendly. Across the street is her restaurant, Miriams Quetzals. It is a great place for birdwatching and breakfast in the morning. For dinner we liked the trout.

The cabin does not have much space. The sink and toilet are very small and there was not much warm water coming out of the shower. Towels quiet old. One of the two beds was horrible, not good for your back. Gets cold in the evening, but a lot of blankets. No heater.

Lovely short stay

We arrived late in the evening but Ana waited for us to let us know how everything works. Cabines were neat and big enough for our family of 4. Warm blankets were also available because it really get cold at night. Nice breakfast and big plus is the terrace where you can observe many birds, toukanette and we were also lucky enough to see the female quetzal.

Will definitely come back

Amazing cabins. The owner made us feel so welcome and the cabin was much bigger than what we were expecting. The little coffee place where breakfast is served is great and is also fantastic for bird watching. Would definitely come back again with more time to explore.

A warm stay at a beautiful place.

We loved the location, there was a a bird watching spot witch was wonderful. You could see different birds from really close. The food is also great and fresh and not to forget the owners are super friendly and helpful. When our clothes were totally wet because of the rain they offered us to wash and dry them. The service is super there!

The rooms were a little bit small.

Would not recommend. Overpriced to the point of absurdity.

Included breakfast was good, and bird viewing area is great.

Horrible value for money. $130 USD for a run down cabin for family of four. Shower could barely output hot water. No windows could open. Wifi barely worked. Should have been $50-$60 USD. Neighbours had 6 dogs and a rooster that wake you up at 5am. Walls so thin that you can hear conversations in cabins next door. Stay somewhere else!

Excellent hosts, clean and comfortable rooms. Wonderful location; we also had a walk to see the Quetzal, Alex our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Be aware that it gets cold up there, it's at 2600 meters asl (rooms have heaters :-))

Very good

Our cabin was right opposite Miriam's cafe, which was great with good selection of tasty food and we were well entertained by the miriad of birds on their feeding tables and surrounds. They organised an early am tour of birds which was wonderful with plenty to see including the quetzal in all its glory ($25pp).
