Javier's place is a beutiful wooden house, very cosy and would have everything you need for a quite family vacation. The uncdoor space is veutiful and yhe outdoor offers a wioden Pizza oven and BBQ aswell as an outdoor kitchen. Great with kids. the garden is beutiful and the surrounding is quite. It is also very close to Bajis del toro center where you can find groceries and restaurants. There were a few issues with our stay: 1. The frobt gate was locked when we got there abd we had to wait for it to be opened - not that bad but not the best checkin experience. 2. The wifi did not work throughoyt our stay - while the host tried to solve it ge couldn't because it was weekend, It was not that bad to be disconnected. 3. there was an annoying flickering light outside that drove us mad at night. all in all it's a great place, given the issues above are fixed, worth staying.

Great spot in the mountains. Our kids loved watching the cows and enjoyed the peaceful surroundings. Close to a few restaurants and sodas. Everything was clean and the kitchen was stocked with the basics. The porch is so nice to sit and enjoy the view or dine outside. There is also a little pizza shop around the corner called Ficus Pizza, some of the best pizza we had on our trip.

A peaceful spot just outside of town. Nice to be on an authentic farm and appreciated the fresh milk from the dairy in the morning. The wrap around porch and birds and flowers were lovely.

We loved the rustic cabin! It was very cozy and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The fireplace was so nice to have during the cold evenings. The property is magical, you are truly surrounded by nature and it was so nice to walk around and explore. It was also very close to all the waterfalls and DinoLand. Thank you for a memorable trip to Bajos del Toro!

Very cute and rustic cabin right on a dairy farm. We loved the fresh milk delivered to our door. It is perfectly situated to explore Bajos del Toro and we never lost power even when the nearby town had no power for hours. Things to keep in mind: There is not a lot of hot water (about 10 minutes worth) but we didn't mind.

This place was more than expected. The location is beautiful and also the surroundings. The fire place was the best part of all. After a long hike and being damp, the fire warmed us up and we felt so cozy. You can even get some fresh milk from the farm next door, simply ask Javier.

It has the necessary amenities for a quiet stay and to be able to disconnect from the world and connect with nature. Definitely worth it and we hope to come back soon :)

An incredible and peaceful place to take a break and escape from the city. Less than two hours from San Jose, good streets and close to many hiking spots for waterfalls. Since the cabin is on a dairy farm, they gave us strawberry milk. In addition, we took advantage of the pizza oven to make some sourdough pizzas that were delicious, the kitchen is well equipped. Loved the place!

The place was beautiful and totally tastefully decorated. The oven was worth its weight in gold at the temperatures at 1400 m altitude (for warming up, drying laundry, coziness) and the location was wonderfully quiet and nice in the middle of pastures. However, some of the equipment could be replaced (pots, shower head, window latch...) Wi-Fi and hot water were great!

This was our second stay at Javier‘s place. We had an amazing first stay last May. We were looking forward to a return trip so we could explore more waterfalls. The waterfalls sure did deliver! However, the accommodations were fraught with several issues. Most importantly was the smell of septic that was strong in the bathroom as well as out on the porch, where I suspect the holding tank was located. The kitchen seem to be lacking some basic amenities, such as a functional coffee maker. A can opener. Dish cloths . And a colander to drain pasta. It was also difficult to light a fire in the house on a particularly chilly night as the flu did not seem to draft appropriately. For the price point we expected a little more by means of amenities.

Absolute calm and very kind host. Located next to a farm with animals, which is very soothing. Pleasant accommodation with facilities that leave something to be desired and some are missing in order to make it a truly comfortable accommodation (dysfunctional shower and coffee maker, there should be bedside lamps in the bedrooms, more linens, etc.).

What a wonderful and cozy wooden cabin! It looks exactly like the photos. It was very clean, and beautifully decorated with a lot of attention to detail. We appreciated the fresh milk from the farm and the amazing outdoor area (especially the pizza oven). The larger bedroom was very pretty and comfortable, and so was the living area. We really appreciated the de-humidifier available in the accommodation. The cabin is close to the Blue Falls and the Catarata del Toro that we wanted to visit. The only thing that was a great inconvenience to us was the lack of hot water and the problems with the (hot) water pressure. A warm shower was not possible. The cleaning lady tried her best to solve it, but as it is a general problem in the area (as Javier explained), it could not be solved during our stay. But apart from the issues with the shower, we had an amazing stay and Javier was very helpful and responsive.

Cabana Armonia is a cozy home on a dairy farm. We enjoyed seeing the farm animals and relaxing on the covered porch watching the hummingbirds. The walk into town was beautiful with stunning views of the mountains. The house is comfortable and had lovely decor. It was a bit tricky to get the right temperature in the shower, but that just added to the adventure.

Lovely house. Enjoyed the pizza oven and time outside in outdoor seating spaces. Great black out blinds. Kitchen could have been furnished with more equipment and crockery but ok for our 2 night stay. Overall a good cabin. Good location for exploring waterfalls and surrounding area. Not as close to La Paos as we had hoped. Beware of the hilly mountain roads and long distances in this area.

It’s a beautiful log cabin . The area is amazing . Loved being on the farm . FYI the cows and horses live near by so there can be a smell but that’s the farm life I love it . Seeing a crack in the log walls to the outside , well reminds me of the old days . We felt really safe I don’t know why the gate. The shower is a challenge but we figured it out . Folks were very nice to us here . We don’t speak the language but a smile and a friendly wave works wonders. We will definitely return to this area .

What a beautiful cabin! Our small family hunkered down on Javier’s beautiful farm. It was super cozy, close to countless waterfalls and high up in the cloud rainforest. Only very early morning sun, and otherwise clouds, mist and rain. Like other reviews, the place was bigger and more beautiful than pictured. And the outdoor patio is spectacular! Perfect for our 3 year old and crawling baby to explore. Gracias Javier!

We absolutely loved our stay here. It’s a unique experience on a cattle farm. Waking up to see the cows and horses set amongst the mountains was breathtaking. The cabin was clean and beautiful. There was a cold front while we were there and used the wood stove every night which made for a unique Costa Rican experience. If you’re looking for a serene and quiet getaway, this is the spot. It’s a convenient drive to multiple beautiful waterfall hikes as well. We can’t wait for our next adventure to Bajos del Toro.

This is a very special spot. The cabin itself is cozy and actually a little bigger than it appeared in the photos! The patio is incredible and we took full advantage of the pizza oven and hanging out outside. But I have to say that the location was just outstanding. Bajos del Toro is a very special place with some incredible hiking and waterfalls right near by. It's a small town but really lovely. I can't imagine a trip to Costa Rica without visiting the area. My one piece of feedback would be that it would be nice if there was a list of all the recommended activities. But whenever we asked Javier a question, he responded quickly. Highly recommend!!

Javier’s place was in a beautiful location with cooler weather. Quaint gorgeous misty cloud forest stay. Challenges getting there: we advise future guests to download offline G*ogle maps area and use BOTH offline downloaded G*ogle maps and Waze with cellular network WITH two DIFFERENT phones to reach cabin. We only used one and when we got out of service in the dark fog we got lost with a few small detours. Arriving at night was more difficult but we found the place using BOTH methods in tandem. From SJO took us 1 hour 15 mins. Javier was very communicative and helpful in arrangements and needs. We unfortunately didn’t have WiFi for most of stay due to unforeseen power outages in local village. *We also arrived with no working water and this disrupted the stay. The following morning Javier and the team were able to fix the issue. Traveling with older American parents it was an obstacle. Overall I would definitely stay there again with my wife and flexible capable travelers.

We were unable to get past an accident on the main road so couldn't get to our cabin that night. We returned to Cariblanco where we lucked into an apartment for the night - and made some lovely friends who helped us move in and calm down! It turned out to be a unique and very heart-warming experience. However, it meant that we lost one of the nights we'd paid for at Javier's cabin. As we navigated our way the next day, we began to believe that we'd been saved from an excruciating drive in the dark, one which almost certainly would have had us lost and sleeping in the car until morning! Peace, quiet, serenity in abundance. Loved watching the cows in their daily rhythms Mia's pizza was delicious.

A beautiful cabin, just to spend time with family or friends - as in our case - the pizza oven is a plus that we really enjoyed. Extremely quiet, clean and organized... less than 5 minutes from downtown Bassi del Toro where there are up and restaurants, but retired if you want to rest, have a wine, read, share and talk. Highly recommended place!
