"We stayed for 3 nights and visited local waterfalls, hot springs, and hiked and rode horses in the rainforest.   The location was great, outside La Fortuna and so much quieter than in the city.  The grounds of the chalet were beautiful, and sitting on the front porch watching the birds was so relaxing. The breakfasts were so tasty, especially the fresh fruit juices.  John and Cathy were friendly and knowledgeable about local attractions and helped us make reservations for several activities.  If you want to be off the beaten path in a relaxed and inviting setting, this is the place for you!"

"Cathy's macadamia nut pancakes & fresh fruit were the most delicious breakfast of our vacation. John & Cathy are gracious hosts and happy to share their knowledge. Toucans arrive at 8 and 4 in their backyard. John took us hiking up into the protected rainforest behind their property. The rooms were clean, comfortable and decorated with fresh flowers. The front porch has comfortable rocking chairs with a commanding view of Lake Arenal. In the evening the volcano went off in the distance and we could see the red lava. Sorry to leave, it felt like we had made new friends."
