Communication was great! Never had to wait for a response if we had a question. The house was perfect! Perfect location, grounds were beautiful, size was perfect for our group of 7. Raquel was an amazing host! Set us up with a massage therapist who came to the house for 4 of us. And when power went out in the area, she found us a close restaurant who was airing the Super Bowl! Highly recommend

I can't say enough good things about this property. It's gorgeous and Raquel, the host, was amazing! She left us a delicious gift basket with fruit and snacks on the counter, she was readily available whenever we texted her with questions and she had great recommendations for restaurants to eat at nearby. We would 100% recommend.

We had a beautiful week here in our private setting. Raquel was very attentive and checked in frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. We enjoyed the kayaking on the lake, the rural location, the proximity to la Fortuna. The grounds were beautiful. We saw a toucan in a tree during our stay.
