The moment my friend and I arrived, we both thought, "I wish I could live here." The property is gorgeous!Every morning, I walked the grounds to watch birds, and two of the host's cute dogs (Angel and Mia) accompanied me. I saw all sorts of incredible birds (including keel-billed toucans) and realized a great view of Arenal was only a short jaunt up the hill.The house stayed remarkably cool with only the fans running (we didn't need to turn on the AC, though it was available). The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. The house felt very private; we knew other people were staying on the property but didn't see them at all. The driveway up to the house was rugged, but the 2WD low-clearance Kia we rented did fine navigating it.Overall, I'm glad we picked lodging outside of La Fortuna. The grounds were peaceful and beautiful, and getting to the common attractions in the area was easy. We hope to come back someday.
