The Bamboo Lake Cabin - Cabins for Rent in Balgue, Rivas, Nicaragua

We had a wonderful time at Che's place. Really a wonderful place to stay. The place couldn't be better. The view could not be better, and the atmosphere is really fantastic due to how the house is built. So many beautiful details. If you want to experience Ometepe in nature, this is the place to be. A short walk and you are at nice restaurants etc. Once in the cottage, you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere. Highly recommended!

We hebben een geweldige tijd gehad bij Che. Werkelijk een schitterende accommodatie. De plek kan niet beter. Het uitzicht kan niet beter en de sfeer is echt fantastisch door hoe het huis gebouwd is. Zoveel mooie details. Als je Ometepe wilt ervaren in de natuur is dit de place to be. Kleine wandeling en je zit bij leuke restaurantjes etc. Eenmaal in het huisje zit je voor je gevoel in de middle of nowhere. Echte aanrader!

Che was great! Animated, friendly, helpful and informative. Gave us information on the area and was kind enough to let us store our bags at his home during our hike. Great place, location and comfortable space to stay❣️

Great spot, sleeping within a stone throw of the lake.  I was fortunate to be in #6 and it was perfect.  shaded, out of the sun, but plenty of wind coming right off the lake into the room.  So peaceful listening to the waves all night.

We rented 2 places from Che (#5 and #6) and they were both right off the water and beside each other. That enabled our party of 4 to stay here. Che was very responsive in suggesting these two, and it worked out perfectly. Che was also great in connecting me with someone at the ferry that helped us navigate bringing our rental car over! It definitely took away the stress Water in front of the place was rocky, but wonderful to swim in. My kids loved jumping off the rocks that were deeper in the water.

Loved this place so much we had to extend our stay. From the elegant construction to the kind and attentive hospitality, it is clear that Che has really put his whole heart into this place. We also loved the location, as it was just a few minutes walk to everything we needed. The lake and garden area felt serene, but at the same time surrounded by life. Very much recommend staying here!

We found what we were looking for, staying at El Bamboo! Quiet, rustic, peaceful, spacious, and surrounded by nature. The bed was so comfortable, and the view and sounds of the crashing waves of Ometepe was amazing to fall asleep, and wake up to.

This is an experience you will not find again. Alvaro (Che as everyone calls him) radiates pure joy. He has put his heart and soul into creating a beautiful environment which we were grateful to experience.  The waves from the lake are loud and lull you to sleep (bring ear plugs if that is not your thing) The breeze wafts in through the open air windows and you feel fully immersed in nature. The kitchen has everything you need to make some basic meals. The gardens are lovely and Che even brought us some delicious bananas that actually tasted as bananas should. The dogs on the property are adorable. If you want adventure...this is your place

We did not meet Che but the online communication was very good. Also nice how Che built all this! We had specially booked the cabin overlooking the lake, but we should not have done this afterwards. Since there are no windows in the cottage, you can hear the water splashing day and night. We thought the price was quite high for what you get.

We hebben Che niet ontmoet maar de online communicatie was heel goed. Ook knap hoe Che dit alles gebouwd heeft! We hadden speciaal de cabin met uitzicht op het meer geboekt, maar dit hadden we achteraf beter niet kunnen doen. Aangezien er geen ramen in het huisje zitten hoor je dag en nacht het water behoorlijk klotsen. We vonden de prijs best hoog voor wat je krijgt.

A place so peaceful and beautiful that its owner Alvaro offers here in this magnificent Nature with stunning views of the lake. And what about Alvaro's laughter that stays pleasantly in our heads ;)

Un endroit si paisible et magnifique que nous proposent ici son propriétaire Alvaro dans cette magnifique Nature avec une vue imprenable sur le lac. Et que dire du rire d’Alvaro qui nous restent agréablement en tête ;)

We really enjoyed our stay at El Bamboo! The cabana looked exactly like the photos, and is right on the edge of the lake. This was especially amazing for the constant storms every night, we laid in bed watching the lightning across the water! Che is such a great host. Very responsive, friendly, and he even let us stash our stuff while we hiked Concepcion Volcano despite checking out that day, and we were able to come back and have a shower (an absolute lifesaver) after a long hot day. One small thing just to be aware of, this is an open-air cabin! No screens on the windows and so anything outside can also come inside. The mosquito net on the bed keeps everything away while sleeping so we didn't mind it, but some people might not enjoy that so keep in mind before booking :)

We very much enjoyed staying in this unique home on the lake. Even though the location was not as "sealed" as we are used to, there were no bugs, rodents, or insects. If you have ever been glamping, you will love this location. The trek to the parking area was a little rocky, but manageable. We are looking forward to staying again on our next trip.

what a place! super unique spot to stay on the Island! everything is super easy to get around, especially with a scooter! Che is very responsive and helpful with any questions you may have! highly recommend!

Absolutely loved staying here, it's a beautiful location and a lovely eco lodge. Che our host was amazing, he gives us good local recommendations told us about the local plants and was very responsive. Would stay again.

What an amazing gem…Open concept and no issues with bugs or anything else. Highly recommend, the host and everyone I encountered were just amazing!

Che is a great host and his spot is beautiful, highly recommended

Very nice cabin, right in the middle of all the nature. Alvaro is very kind and communicative

Was a fantastic location in the middle of a tropical garden right on the lake (with private lake access). Alvaro was super nice and even cut us a fresh aloe vera plant for a mosquito bite. He is human class, nice and mega friendly. And the place is also a dream 😎

War eine traumhafte location inmitten eines tropischen Gartens direkt am See (mit privatem seezugang). Alvaro war super nett und hat uns sogar eine frische AloeVera Pflanze geschnitten für einen Mosquitobiss. Er ist menschlich klasse, nett und Mega freundlich. Und die Unterkunft ist auch ein Traum 😎

Alvaro and his team were super friendly. The place is in a beautiful location, very quiet and exactly as described in the listing. A detail that I loved: he left me a bag of his own coffee at the door – quite a gesture! The area is also highly recommended, with lots of shops and very nice people everywhere. I recommend this place 100% – I'd love to go back!

Álvaro y su equipo fueron súper amables. El alojamiento está en un lugar precioso, muy tranquilo y exactamente como se describe en el anuncio. Un detalle que me encantó: me dejó una bolsa de su propio café en la puerta – ¡todo un gesto! La zona también es muy recomendable, con muchas tienditas y gente muy simpática por todos lados. Recomiendo este lugar al 100 % – ¡me encantaría volver!

Hands down, one of the coolest places I’ve ever stayed!! This cabin in particular had waves coming almost right up to the window! It was so dreamy! It was super spacious and the shower was warm! The grounds were a really cool vibe with fruits and herbs to cook with. There were cool restaurants walking distance. Che, the host, gave us the hook up with great recommendations and was responsive with all of our questions. Greeted us with great conversation. ojo de agua is only about a 15 min drive on an atv. I couldn’t recommend this place enough! And I was hesitant about not having windows or AC, but I absolutely loved it and didn’t miss it at all. I actually wish we could have stayed longer! Will be back when we come back!

Alvaro allias Che is one of the best Airbnb host! Everything was perfect... The place, la cabaña, and all his recommandations! I recommend this place 10000%!

The bamboo huts are designed with a lot of love for detail and are located on the lake in quiet surroundings. Balgüe is a beautiful and lively place. There are numerous restaurants and opportunities to get everyday things. Alvaro and his team welcomed us warmly. The contact was straightforward and we got helpful tips for activities on the island as well as arrival and onward travel options.

Die Bambushütten sind mit sehr viel Liebe zum Detail gestaltet und befinden sich am See in ruhiger Umgebung. Balgüe ist ein schöner und belebter Ort. Dort gibt es zahlreiche Restaurants und Möglichkeiten alltägliche Dinge zu besorgen. Alvaro und sein Team haben uns herzlich empfangen. Der Kontakt war unkompliziert und wir bekamen hilfreiche Tipps für Aktivitäten auf der Insel sowie An- und Weiterreisemöglichkeiten.

the bamboo bungalow was exactly as described, having a lowered seating area overlooking the water was excellent! This is a huge lake and the waves can get surprisingly large and loud, but it's amazing to watch them pound ashore from the bench inside! Che's place is a cool little spot with nice tropical gardens tha have some herbs planted along the trails. Just up the alleyway is the best restaurant in Balgue,  other dining options are also great and close by.  Che and Indira were friendly, helpful and not intrusive at all. All the other people (only 4) staying at the Bamboo cabanas were friendly and easy-going fellow adventurers.

We loved the cabin! Close to restaurants and nature. Warmly recommend staying here!
