The place is spectaculaaarrrr!!! We were a large group, and there was definitely a bed for everyone and great comfort. The house is equipped with everything you need for your stay. The finishes in the place and the sense of peace you feel are truly unique. Ms. Sonia was very attentive to any needs we had and any questions. She is an exceptional person! It's definitely a place I would highly recommend and would go back to without hesitation!

The house was beautiful, it had the main house and the "casita" that was perfect for my family my sisters family and my parents. the views were breathtaking, entire town was very nice. The hosts were vey accommodating and responsive. We spent a fair bit of time in the house itself and loved the indoor outdoor feel with all the large windows that we opened quite a bit with the weather being so nice. Will definitely come back again.

All the locals know Casa Colombia which means that it's easy getting things delivered and drivers to find it, including the jet-ski crew who delivered them directly to our private mooring for an outing. We especially loved the kayaks and paddle boards. With kids, it was fantastic being able to go out any-time on an explore directly from the house. The house is fabulous, particularly the outdoor patio with flowering vine that the humming birds enjoy with you at breakfast. So many birds in fact can be spotted in the grounds, together with colourful native planting. The games chest has a couple of great family friendly options and the kitchen has everything you need. The water-park down the road is also exceptional. It was far more fun than we had expected, and very well organised. Guatape town is also lovely, arty and colourful with lots of good local shopping and eating options. Thank you Jake, Monica and Sonia for a most enjoyable stay.

If you’re looking for a place that truly takes your breath away, this is it. The home looks like it belongs on the cover of Architectural Digest—every detail is thoughtfully designed and absolutely stunning. The space is even larger than the photos suggest, giving everyone plenty of room to relax and enjoy. What really makes this property unforgettable is the setting. Surrounded by nature, the ambiance is pure magic. Waking up to the peaceful sounds, enjoying coffee with incredible views, and ending the day immersed in such a beautiful atmosphere made this one of our favorite Airbnb stays ever. Our host Jake and Sonia the co host had great recommendations which included a private chef making us breakfast and having jetsksi delivered to the private dock just steps away from the house. These additions made our stay here in Guatape a memorable one for the family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a

An amazing place. It's super comfortable, quiet, and cozy. It has super complete cooking utensils, an electric and charcoal grill for a good barbecue, and quite a few board games. The rooms are super comfortable. Access to the lake is very nice. It's a great experience with nature. It has the equipment to use kayaks, which we enjoyed a lot. 100% recommended. We would go back without hesitation. Communication was very good at all times. Easy access and a very safe road. In the background there are 2 super top restaurants, also recommended. We loved the experience. :-)

We had an absolutely amazing stay! The home is stunning and every detail is beautifully curated—from the sophisticated decor to the overall atmosphere, everything was perfect. ​We spent a great time on the water thanks to the paddleboards and kayaks provided, which was a huge highlight for us. The jacuzzi was the perfect way to relax in the evenings, and we really enjoyed using the charcoal grill for a great dinner. ​A special thank you to Sonia, who was so kind and helpful throughout our stay. As a fellow host, I truly appreciated how much thought went into making this home a great experience. We loved it and would definitely stay here again!

This place is even more beautiful than the pictures, the best part was Sonia the person in Colombia In charge of the place, she was super nice and responsive all the time, the host was also very responsive, but we dealt with Sonia once we got there. The place is breathtaking jacob, helped us get in contact with a wonderful driver Julian, he took us to town all day and was great, so much that we hired him for the rest of our trip taking us to Medellin and to the airport. We went for a yoga retreat 8 of us and we enjoyed this beautiful home, we had a plenty of space to do our yoga everybody loved it. Thanks Jacob for let us enjoy your place, I will contact you a again for our future yoga retreats 👏👏

Beautiful place, better than in the photos, very friendly staff

The place is beautiful and the communication is very easy and friendly. The instructions on arrival are clear and the cleanliness is excellent. The manager is very friendly and clear in communication. One aspect to improve is that there was no water in the area and although the house has a water tank, it was impossible to use the jacuzzi on the first day. In general, water pressure decreases in external situations. Additionally, it is recommended to close the doors very well, a bat entered a room on the first floor the first night and the next day a lost dog settled in a bathroom. These are things that are out of Jacob's and the guests' hands, but that can be improved or anticipated.

The place is wonderful and, without a doubt, one of its greatest virtues is Mrs. Sonia. She is always attentive to the needs of guests and her kindness makes the stay even more special. The owners have an excellent person in charge. Regarding the subject of celebrations, the owners maintain certain precautions and restrictions that may limit the enjoyment of the property, even when they are not activities that generate damage. Overall, it's a great place for a nice weekend.

Host Response

This guest held a small wedding at the house. They had a wedding planner visit the house and it was their intention to secure decorations using nails. We asked that they do not use permanent fixtures as they would damage the house. This was communicated to the guest months in advance and an amicable arrangement was found (tape….) We understand that weddings are stressful but we don’t think it’s too much to ask that guests refrain from creating permanent damage to the house.

Where to start… the house is beautiful and with very tasteful and high-quality decoration and furniture. Very comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen and spectacular surroundings to enjoy nature with a lot of tranquility. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards, we played Ping pong 🏓 on the table in the house, there were enough board games to enjoy in front of the fireplace. The dock is private and very nice for swimming. The description of the house falls short because it is better than what is described in the listing. Sonia was very kind, she always responded quickly and gave us very good recommendations of the area and places (very tasty burgers). If you like art, this house is full of unique and beautiful pieces. We didn't want to leave! It was a special few days for me and my family. I'm sure we'll be back again! Thank you Jacob and Sonia 😬

Our stay at this house was simply spectacular. The property has a unique design, with many windows that allow you to enjoy a breathtaking view of the dam from almost any corner. The rooms are spacious, each with its own bathroom, and everything was impeccably clean and very well organized. The decor is amazing, modern, very stylish, and at the same time very cozy. You can tell that the house is very well maintained and that the hosts take care of every detail. An important point to note is that not all rooms are inside the same house; there is an additional house next door where the other rooms are located, which can be ideal for large groups or families looking for a little privacy. The hot tub was another great plus, easy to use and perfect for relaxing while enjoying the view. When you arrive, there is a stretch of the street that is unpaved and it makes it a little difficult to arrive in low cars, but everything was perfect!!

I can’t find the words to describe how special and beautiful this place is. We had an incredible experience and truly enjoyed every moment in this gorgeous house. Special thanks to Jacob for all his amazing recommendations. Chef Josh went above and beyond to make each meal unforgettable. Sonia, the house manager, was so attentive and kind, and Maria Elena spoiled us with breakfast every morning while keeping everything spotless. Thank you, thank you for the wonderful hospitality! If you’re looking for the perfect place to relax and enjoy quality time with friends, there’s no better spot than Casa Colombia!

Our stay at this fabulous house was simply spectacular. My family was absolutely delighted with the service, cleanliness, and the great organization of everything. Mrs. Sonia was wonderful, always willing to help us at any moment, which made our experience even more special. We also want to highlight the recommendation of chefs Josh and Danny, who prepared an outstanding dinner to celebrate my parents’ birthday; it was truly unforgettable thanks to them. Additionally, we would love to highly recommend Julien, our driver during our stay in Guatapé. He was always attentive, helped us arrange all of our activity reservations, and supported us with anything we needed. Do not hesitate to contact him for any rentals or assistance in Guatapé. All in all, our stay was extremely pleasant, and we will definitely be coming back very soon. Highly recommended!

Good place, clean but people enter the property without consent.

Host Response

This guest was extremely problematic. They had a new baby and I believe were stressed about their situation. Regarding the comment that people enter the property: The property is 4 acres and requires maintenance. Garbage needs removal and water / gas tanks filled. The property is secure and a book with pictures of our staff is provided. At no time did any of our staff enter or even come within 50 meters of an occupied house.

You will not regret renting this house, it is ideal for going with the family and enjoying all its amenities, the jacuzzi is beautiful, the views are beautiful, the private access to the dam is great, they have kayak, the lady who received us was very cordial and kind and helped us with contacts to order food, water games and transportation since it is far from Guatape; Definitely this place is spectacular and I would definitely come back

Magical Stay – Best Property in Guatape by far!!! This house is absolutely stunning and without a doubt one of the most beautiful properties in Guatapé. The views from every room are incredible, and the design and attention to detail make it feel like a luxury retreat. The new jacuzzi, property overlooking the lake is a highlight, and the chef’s kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The hosts were amazing – extremely accommodating and made sure we had everything for a perfect stay. The property is private and peaceful, yet only two minutes away from two of the best restaurants in town. Having the lake access, kayaks, and beautiful outdoor spaces made the experience even better. Worth every penny spent. I would say this property is well underpriced for everything it has to offer. A truly unforgettable experience exceeding every expectation . IT DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER! Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for something special in Guatape! Love Love Love 🫶🏼

We stayed at 2 of Jacob’s homes, the Arc house one night and then Casa Colombia for three nights. The Arc house was was like being perched in the air, in a super cage flooded w/light..the view incredible. Casa Colombia an architectural marvel! lived up to the pictures 100%. Such a feeling of peace & beauty inside & outside. And just steps down the hill was the little beach & boat slip w/kayaks. Our teens also loved every bit of the home & Amenities. We were so sad to leave. Jacob was so accommodating in referring so many resources to us: from our private chef, to jet ski rentals, to transportation. Unforgettable stay, will return. Didn’t want leave!

Finding the right words to capture the essence of this beautiful home is a challenge. The love and meticulous attention to detail resonate throughout every corner. It truly feels like a little piece of heaven in the heart of Guatapé. I must also commend Sonia, the remarkable lady in charge of the house, who consistently checked in on us, and Chef Dany, who poured his heart into every dish. Together, they helped create unforgettable memories for my family, friends, and me in this enchanting place.

Stunning place! 😍 The views, the birds, the atmosphere. This house is amazing and even better than the pictures. We were a large group and definitely enjoyed such beautiful home, the hot tub was a plus. Jacob was always available and communication was excellent. Sonia was simply the best, she patiently waited for us as we had a delay. Sonia wanted to make sure we had a welcoming experience. Jacob I can tell you that people like Sonia are hard to find and a pleasure to deal with. I recommend this place to my friends and family. I would definitely will love to stay here in the future.

Amazing place. From the moment we entered till when we left, we loved the place. It's so beautiful, peaceful, and homey. Surrounded by nature. Amazing flora. Very chill. We did lack tv's in most rooms, seems like it was there before but has been removed. Other than that, the house is completely stocked and ready for everything. Great wifi, great service. Sonia the housekeeper was amazing. She had all the good contacts and helped us out greatly.

Jacob was extremely responsive host and very helpful while preparing for our stay; Sonia was an excellent on site contact and was always checking on us during our stay and explained all the features of the home during check in. The property’s surroundings are spectacular and the constant breeze was so nice during our stay; our family and friends enjoyed it and I have already recommended the property to other friends that visit the area. Will definitely come back!!

Amazing location. Recommend to everyone!

The property is beautiful, clean, modern, well equipped. Sonia the house attendant was very responsive and Jacob the host as well. Note: the property boat is an add on not included and no AC, although evenings are cool it could be stuffy so AC would have been nice... all in all the grounds were immaculate and peaceful, bathrooms were equipped with soaps and shampoo. Easily ordered food for delivery...kitchen was also well equipped all necessities and more.

It’s a beautiful house for sure, and we love the trail that takes you to the lake and the kayaks that they have there. They have plenty of rooms and space too. My only problem is that for the price that they charge you there’s a lot of maintenance need it, the toilet from the main room was moving around, I saw some visible spider webs in the shower at eye level so for me that was a sign for not very good cleaning. The curtains from the main room wasn’t working and the sun was hitting us on the face really early in the morning. There are not curtains or anything from the upstairs restrooms so if you were outside you could see everything, so not much privacy. Other than that everything was good and Sonia was very nice to us.

Host Response

Thank you for the review and the feedback. We are happy you enjoyed your stay. We did not realize the blackout curtain is not working correctly. We are sending a technician today. A bathroom curtain has been installed to give privacy after a tree was knocked down during a storm. We will replace the toilet seat today as well - we agree if a seat is moving around, it’s a poor sign of maintenance. Sonia and the staff do a great job of cleaning and we spray for spiders monthly. It’s a reality of a lake house in Colombia that webs can appear in less than an hour. Thanks again and know that we are always trying to improve

WOW!! What an amazing stay! I traveled with three others and stayed here for a week. Jacob and Sonia were responsive, helpful and polite. The house is gorgeous and looked exactly like the pictures, and even better in person. The views from the balconies are amazing and you really feel immersed in the nature around you. We loved the access to the lake and took advantage of the complimentary kayaks. We also enjoyed the free 2 hour boat ride around the lake. Our guide was knowledgeable of the area and everyone we met was incredibly friendly. The food at Praia was so good we went two nights in a row. We loved having nice restaurants so close to the house. Downtown Guatape was beautiful and full of great shops, bars and restaurants. We can’t wait to visit again!

Simply Spectacular, words cannot describe this place, Stunning views and the house is a dream, exceeded my expectations, Jacob was very helpful at booking with al sorts of recommendations, we went with a personal Chef that he recommended and Chef Josh did not disappoint, Sonia was always available upon check-in, helping us with every little question we had. The jacuzzi was amazing although the water was a little colored (this was in no way their fault, as the rain made the water a little muddy) all in all this was an excellent location, we really enjoyed visiting and would recommended to anyone that has a big group. Thanks again to our hosts.

My one week stay at this Airbnb in Guatape was absolutely amazing! The house itself is stunning - beautifully decorated, spacious and well-equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with open arms by the incredible staff. Jake, the owner, was incredibly kind and helpful throughout my stay, always making sure I had everything I needed. Sonia, the person in charge, was always available and ready to assist with any questions or requests. Maria's cooking was absolutely delicious - every meal she prepared was a true culinary delight. And Daniel, the chef, was a master in the kitchen, creating amazing dishes that left me wanting more. Overall, the staff made me feel like a VIP guest and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. I highly recommend this Airbnb in Guatape to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway. It truly was a 5-star experience!
