This property had everything we could want and more. To start, the property is massive with a soccer field, pool, a sweet horse, foosball, ping-pong, pool table, fruit trees, and a river running alongside the house. There are tons of beds to accommodate a lot of people. Each room had its own AC and was very comfortable. We felt very fortunate enough to receive coconuts, avocados, and other fruits from the trees. The property manager and staff are very attentive to anything you need. The only complaints I have was the kitchen was a bit disorganized and didn't have a lot of the items we needed. The property manager was quick to buy things to supplement. The other complaint, which really wasn't that big of a deal, was the bathroom is set up more like a dorm. There are two showers and two bathrooms in one area with a two person sink. We are family of nine and we made it work. Sitting on the covered patio, watching the rainstorms was magical. It was only a 30 minute drive to all the activities in La Fortuna. We would definitely stay there again!

Great place for large group. Isabelle is the housekeeper and so super nice. We had her join our group for dinner one night. The house is layed out great. We also seen a lot of wildlife on the property, birds iguanas, lizards, etc. Main town is about 20 minutes away, very touristy, but lots of nice cafes and places to eat. Would definitely stay here again.

Was a great place for large groups. Was rather warm two of the 7 days we were there. The air conditioners in the bed rooms worked great. One of the two showers upstairs was not working. It only had cold water. There were two other showers working. The pool was great. Did not see any sloths on the property but saw many Iguanas and beautiful birds. The road into the property was rather rough but so were many other roads in Costa Rica. The lady (wish I could spell her name) on the property was wonderful. She did not speak English and we spoke very limited Spanish but we communicated through iPhone. She was extremely helpful and very friendly.

Well kept, private, lots of rooms and beds, clean. Very nice property.

My family loved this place. The property is huge and beautiful with so much wildlife all around. On our second day, we found a sloth up on a branch only 10 ft off the ground. We then found a momma sloth holding her baby in another tree just a few trees away. Many iguanas start roaming the grounds when the sun gets warm and climb to the tops of the trees for snacks. Baby iguanas were found and caught in the house to our kids delight. Many birds were singing us songs while the horse of the house grazed away. My kids loved heading down to the river to fish and try to catch Jesus Christ lizards. Only one small fish was caught. The river can change depths a lot in 24 hours, but when it was low, it was safe. We didn’t go down to it when it was high. The inside of the house is simple, but it was enough. The one downstairs bedroom has no AC, but we didn’t sleep there. All the upstairs bedrooms have AC and they work great. The kitchen also had anything we needed, as we cooked breakfasts and dinners there. No dishwasher, but no prob for us. We really enjoyed resting under the covered patio in the mornings and evenings listening to all the sounds. We played a lot of ping pong and foosball. The pool table is a bit wonky, but still fun. If you’re a ping pong purest, you may want to bring your own ping pong balls. The ones there are cheap. The pool was fantastic! It has been updated since the pictures were taken and is much better and a bit bigger. Overall, we loved it.

We loved the property and house. The animals were amazing and we could see Arenal. We liked that it was out of the main town and more authentic, however there were a few items that didn't work well worth noting. The fan in the downstairs bedroom didn't work which was disappointing as that room didn't have AC, and the refrigerator didn't work consistently so we did lose some food. There were two toilets that didn't flush well and one overflowed, so we just used the two newer ones. Honestly, we loved our stay and enjoyed ourselves, these are only notes to be aware of. Carlos the manager was on site and very nice but our Spanish wasn't good enough to really tell him what was working or not. Lovely property for a big family

Our group included my young family of 5, my parents, friends with 2 young kids, and their parents. We stayed for a week and loved it! The road to get to the property was very bumpy (took 7-10 minutes to get to main road). The kitchen was minimally set up but we grilled each night and it was just fine. The outside table sat 13 people so it made for great family dinners. The humidity was very low so the outdoor space functioned as our living room, playroom, etc. Our young kids (5 kids under 7 years old) slipped a few times of the floor because it was slick when wet from coming and going from the pool. The toilets and showers were basic and dorm-like but clean. The neighbor's white horse would make its way through the gate and poop in the soccer field (and there were fire ants) so we didn't use it often. (Juan had it cleaned up for us though.) We saw a sloth, monkeys, hummingbirds, toucans, frogs, and other beautiful birds just on the property which was very cool. Juan was very responsive and helpful! We arranged through him discounted tickets for ziplining and he provided lots of recommendations. We used the house as home-base and would adventure out each morning and return around 4pm. You can see the mountains and volcano from the property when the clouds clear. We had a wonderful time and the house was ideal for our group.

Even though on the map, it is a short drive to La Fortuna, it is a 30-35 min drive. It is 4.5 minutes down a very rough road to your house once you leave the asphalt. It is in a gated compound. It is one of the nicest houses in the area but it was still a little different than the expected from the pictures. Very beautiful surroundings. The kitchen setup was minimal, we ended up wasting in town for all meals. I feel it was overpriced compared to other listings that we have used.
