Unbeatable location. The cabin is very cozy and has everything you need to sleep comfortably.

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.

We had a problem at the accommodation, but Javier resolved the situation and we were satisfied with the response received.

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.

A very nice place! It is very cold, you can use the oven very well. The pizza oven is a highlight! The host was extremely helpful with an issue we had and took care of it right away! Thank you for the lovely stay

I went for a walk with my aunts and the cabin is too comfortable and they have it super nice, very clean and is exactly like the pictures. Fully equipped, the decor is very nice and the beds are very comfortable. They left us very nice details for our consumption that give it a great added value. Highly recommended.

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.

The cabin set amongst the valley of Bajos del Toro was truly magical. Well equipped with everything you need to enjoy evenings in after a day of exploring. Looking forward to a return trip for more exploring well away from touristy areas.

The Harmony cabin is beautiful, the estate where this is very nice you can go for a walk there is a viewpoint and you can even go to the river. The boy who works on the farm is very accessible and gave us perfect directions. The place is very quiet, it is full of peace and serenity.

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 .

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.

Javier was very helpful from the moment we rented the airbnb. He was very responsive and helped us by setting up a horse back riding tour on our last day! The place was beautiful, clean and it looked prettier than the pictures! There' s a lot to do near by like hikes, waterfalls and other adventure stuff. 100% recommend to anyone!
