We had an amazing short stay. The area is perfect if you need a quiet vacation. There was just a small miscommunication about the furnace use. But everything was perfect. I recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing views and relaxing stay.

Quiet place; lots of vegetation, birds, a view, cold, a manual gate, a fireplace that's more for luxury than for heating, everything you need for a getaway! I would come back. 👌

We stayed at the Lilian cabin. It is exactly as shown in the photos, and everything was very clean. The place is very quiet and ideal for spending a few days with family or friends. It was our first night in Costa Rica, and it is located an hour from the airport. Highly recommended. Ariana was very attentive to us at all times. Totally recommended. Thank you very much, Ariana!

Wonderful place to stay with great views! The furnishings were also very cozy and lovely. In the evening, it can get a bit chilly (March); it's best to pack something warm to wear.

The accommodation is well located with magnificent views of San Jose. Close to Poas Volcano and Paz Waterfalls. On the other hand, the temperature is very cold and the fireplace chimney was not drawing, which resulted in a lot of smoke in the accommodation and very little heat. It was very windy and the air was coming through the door.

It was a short but wonderful stay! The place was great: clean, comfortable and had everything I needed. The location was perfect, with easy access to everything, but at the same time very quiet and secluded. A large number of birds can be heard and seen around the cabin. The host is very friendly and helpful, in general, the stay was up to par and I would definitely come back or recommend it.

Simply amazing accommodation!!! Very charming, impeccable. As mentioned in the description, it is colder in the evening and at night and we really enjoyed the well-prepared wood to make a fire in the fireplace! Very nice atmosphere in the evening and relaxing! And what about the view on both floors, you can admire the city of San Jose all lit up at night!! We even enjoyed their restaurant next door which is very good just a few minutes' walk away. Very good location, close to attractions such as the entrance to the Poas Volcano as well as La Paz Waterfalls. I highly recommend it and we would return without hesitation!

A cabin ideal for relaxing. It has all the amenities indicated in the listing. A few minute drive to the local attractions. There is a restaurant of the same group with a wide menu and exquisite cuisine. Adriana responds super fast and is 100% committed to making your stay perfect. The climate is perfect. They provide a load of firewood to use the fireplace and give you details such as treats and cookies, which I valued a lot because it came from a journey far away. I will definitely be back!

Ariana was a dream host. Very accommodating & helpful with local recommendations for restaurants. I love the fact that there is a restaurant on the property .Ariana brought over dinner for me & my partner one evening because we arrived after restaurant closed. How thoughtful 😄. She even assisted us with our laundry. The Jacuzzi area was a spa like experience for sure. The cabin was absolutely amazing with beautiful views of mountains & city lights. Unforgettable experience. Make sure you dress for the cold nights. Thank you Ariana for your wonderful hospitality.

Ariana's Luna cabin in Poas was the perfect mountain getaway to end our trip in Costa Rica. Only one hour from the airport we were able to stay in a beautiful location and catch an early flight the next day. The water is hot and the Jacuzzi works perfectly. The restaurant on site is delicious and there are plenty of food options less than a mile down the road. I loved waking up to a mountain view every morning and relaxing playing chess on foggy afternoons as the clouds rolled in. Ariana is a responsive helpful host, highly recommend her spaces to sleep and the restaurant.

Flew into San Jose and spent the first two nights at Magias de Poas before heading south to Manuel Antonio. Ariana was a great host and we thoroughly enjoyed the accommodations. The views are amazing, the house is perfect, and only about a 20min drive to Poas Volcano. Plenty of restaurants nearby and a new restaurant two doors up the hill with good food and drink. Would definitely recommend staying here for anyone visiting the area. Thanks again Ariana!

The area I love, the restaurant the rich food and the structure we liked it more however, I must say a few things, there was NO privacy, neither inside or outside the house, it looks very plain to the other cabins, not all the windows have curtains (which I did not like in the morning because I entered too much clarity from early), there were no doors in the rooms more on the downstairs, the bulb in the upstairs room did not serve and the beds sound too much, the parking lot quite uncomfortable for two big cars and there were some small artifacts that I'm not sure they were (I didn't feel comfortable if they were cameras or sensors for something).

A+ This is a really wonderful home. The property and the house are exactly as described. It does get cold at night so I’d recommend using the little wood-burning furnace if it’s cold outside. A neighbor down the hill has an incredibly bright light shining right up into the house for some odd reason so if you need it to be dark when you sleep, definitely bring a facemask. Otherwise, the place is perfect. Super comfortable and we will definitely stay here again when we visit Costa Rica. Also, the host is very kind and great communication. We made a last-minute booking and they were very accommodating. You should have no hesitation booking this terrific Airbnb.

Very nice little house with a beautiful view. Ariana is very friendly and helpful. We were there only for one night and everything was perfect and we enjoyed it a lot. We had a house for 2 couples and there were 2 bedrooms on 2 different floors. But everything is open and there are no doors inside the house except for the bathroom. So there is not a lot of privacy. I think this is important to know and you have to be fine with it.

Our recent stay at this Airbnb left us absolutely speechless! It's not just a place to stay; it's a captivating experience that we'll cherish forever. The moment we stepped inside, we were greeted by an atmosphere of pure comfort and style. And those views! The windows framed the surrounding beauty like living artwork, and we couldn't get enough. Mornings were like a dream as we watched the sunrise paint the landscape in the most stunning hues. What truly stood out was the genuine hospitality of the hosts. They made us feel like we were part of their extended family, offering local tips and ensuring we had everything for a perfect stay. If you're seeking a getaway that combines awe-inspiring views, comfort, and a touch of magic, look no further. This Airbnb is an absolute gem that will steal your heart – just like it stole ours.

The cabin is nice, it had everything you need to spend a nice stay. Very nice view of the valley, the sky looks full of stars and the fireplace helps to keep the interior warm. The jacuzzi works perfectly and there are several restaurants nearby if you want to go for lunch (most close very early). The cabin does not feel so private since an entire side is made of glass and is located in the direction of the street which makes the car lights light inside the cabin and can be seen, this is fixed by lowering the curtains but with the cost of interrupting the view. The bed is quite comfortable, the blankets that have work perfect for the cold of the area and the internet also works quite well. I recommend this place if you are looking for a cabin in the mountains to rest or retreat for a few days.

Really enjoyed our three nights here. Very convenient to parks and restaurants yet quiet and laid back. Both mornings and evenings were a delight from the elevated perch over the Central Valley. The little fireplace was great at keeping the place warm in the evening. Need to keep firewood well stocked.

Ariana’s place is great and so close to The Poas Volcano! The views overlooking San Jose were breathtaking, the beds were extremely comfortable, kitchen had everything one would need, and the fireplace was cosy in the evening! Ariana was very responsive and let us check in a little bit early since the cabin was already ready! Highly recommend!

Great place to stay out of the hustle and bustle of San Jose. Highly recommend staying here if you have a flight out of/into San Jose. Incredible views of the city through the big windows. Turn all the lights off and you can see the stars and fireflies. Make sure to light the fire at night as it gets cold! The place isn’t super well equipped if you are thinking about any major cooking but it suited us just fine. We couldn’t see a kettle but used the sauce pan to make a cup of tea instead. Ariana was super helpful with recommendations and we had a fantastic breakfast at Freddy’s before heading to Poas volcano which is super close. Will recommend to friends! Thanks
Simone

The place is super nice and modernly furnished and the view of San José is breathtaking. You should have warm clothes with you, because it can get quite cold at night and the apartment is heated with an oven. When the wind goes, you can also hear that and you can feel the drafts a little at the door. You can order more wood for a small extra charge for those who are a little cold sensitive 😉 Ariana responded immediately at any time and communication was very friendly 🙏 A nice end to our Costa Rica trip 🤗

Stunning location, and lovely stay! We loved the little woodstove and hanging out looking over the valley. The only minor detractions were the seating isn't super comfortable and the shower tends to get water all over the bathroom due to a half height door, but it's such a great place it's not much of a detraction. The parking can also be tricky off a steep hill and a tight parking area with a gate, something to keep in mind. One other thing is the bed area on the ground floor doesn't have any way to fully close it off from the living area, so it can feel a bit exposed for those guests. Overall fantastic, and one of our favorites in Costa Rica!

Everything was as described and we loved our stay! The only point to make it a 10/10 would be sufficient kitchen equipment, our pan was broken and there is no oil, pepper and salt. But that’s really the only tiny thing we came across, all in all it is an incredible apartment, the view is amazing and its furniture and decoration was awesome!! Thank you Ariana

Gorgeously built & decorated with panoramic views of San Jose. It's a remote location & quiet but still close to the volcano & La Paz waterfalls, which was super way to see some great ones! It was a bit dusty on the lamps & had some sticky spots on the kitchen floor & a big spiderweb between the couch & wall. It also would have been nice to have basic cooking stuff like salt & pepper & a dish drain to do the dishes. The place is perfect for a quiet get away. It did get a bit chilly at night ( we stayed in March) but there were plenty of blankets & a wood burning fireplace for heart. There was a great restaurant at the end of the road you can walk to also.

Fantastically beautiful cottage with incredible night views of the city. We liked it incredibly much, even considered extending it. until the time we wanted to light the fireplace. Unfortunately, it didn't work at all and we spent a smoky, cold night, moved out the next day with the two small children, which was not portable... But Ariana easily refunded us the two nights. I hope the oven is fixed because then it is highly recommended!

No one to get a response from each other. Respond 2 days later Very noisy accommodation because of the wind that is everything is uncontrollable, however, if the front door would not be so badly adjusted, it would be less worse. We had to buy toilet paper because it was missing some and also wood to heat up because it was missing and it was very cold in the accommodation. In addition we received an additional account of $14.25 for a broken glass of wine that we bought ourselves and which was ours.
Host Response
I am glad AirBNB gives the chance to be able to say our side of the story, what you are saying in your review it’s a lie and there is proof in the inbox, you never answered one single message since you booked, very hard to communicate which makes it very hard to fulfill any expectations or help with anything needed. Do not recommend her as a guest. We always try to have our guests to feel like if it was their own home!
