A lovely house to be with your family! We really liked it. I loved that it had board games and several options for spending time together 🫰🏼😁 The house is very spacious, clean and beautiful. It has a phenomenal view from the garden 🪴
Host Response
Thank you, Valeria, for your nice review. We are happy that you enjoy the house, the view and the games. We hope you come back to visit us. Pura Vida 🤗

Absolutely phenomenal view of the lake and mountains with so many rolling hills and pastures! We also saw a flock of parrots on the street just past the house and 10+ toucans in the trees on route 142 right before dusk. The home is clean, spacious and there is lots to do even if you are stuck inside due to rain. They also have a super cute children's area with toys and plenty of board games. We only stayed one night on our way back from La Fortuna but loved that it's an easy 1.5 hour drive to Liberia Airport. The home was incredible and if we had more time we would've loved exploring the area. Also loved the recommendations for restaurants. Macadamia Cafe was closed so we ended up at Equus and it was some of the best smoked bbq we ever had. Home had everything we needed and hosts were very responsive and helpful. We would 100% book here again for longer to enjoy the pool also.
Host Response
Thank you Cristina for taking the time to write such a beautiful review. We are so delighted that you enjoyed the house and the views. We are glad you got to see some birds. We love the barbecue at Equs also. Would love to welcome you back. Wishing you many blessings and vacations 🤗

We really enjoyed our stay at Mateo and Juanita's place. Despite the temperature and the rainy weather, we enjoyed the comfort of the property. Also, it was very easy to communicate with Mateo; he responds quickly. A good location for visiting the rainforest, and the view was really beautiful!
Host Response
Dear Valérie, Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are delighted to know that you were so comfortable at our place and that you enjoyed the beautiful view. It's true that it rained a lot during your stay, but rest assured, it doesn't always rain that much here. We would be delighted to host you again, this time in the sun. It was a real pleasure 🤗 See you soon!

We had a great stay! Our group of 10 had plenty of space, so nobody needed to use the sleeper sofa. The kitchen is well-stocked, the beds are comfortable, and the views are stunning. We even liked looking at the numerous wind turbines nearby. Note that the location can be very windy (hence the wind turbines) and rainy, but the house is stocked with lots of board and card games to entertain guests of all ages. Research the drive to desired attractions so that everyone can have realistic expectations. In the town of Tilaran we found everything we needed, including a doctor and a pharmacy.
Host Response
Thank you for that review. We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay!Yeah, the wind turbines that dot the horizon do kind of give the landscape some personality. We have worked hard to stock the place well so that people can have a good experience in good weather and bad. Glad you thought so. You’re right about realistic expectations as far as distance from other places. We like to think that in life, the really worthwhile locations take a little time to get to. Anyway we hope to be able to host you again. 🤗

We thoroughly enjoyed our quick stay here. Like others, we needed a place to help break up the drive. We expected something very basic, but this home worked out perfectly and provided a great respite from the hustle and bustle. The view is fantastic and the location very peaceful. The owners were gracious and communicated quickly. I've found many Airbnb's photograph well but leave you a bit disappointed when you arrive. Not the case here - everything is very clean and well designed. You can tell they take much pride in the home. I would absolutely stay here again.
Host Response
Thank you James! It was such a pleasure to read your review, because the best part of hosting is the guests enjoying their stay. Our goal is for you to feel that you are at home and that you have everything you need. We do hope to have you again in the near future. Pura vida 😊

Great place and was the perfect first night stop for our family. We flew into LIR and were headed for a few stops and used this as a nice place to just land for our first night. Had an amazing view of the lake, volcano, nice little pool and putting greens turned out to be a lot more fun than we even expected. Hosts were super about providing some restaurant recommendations for us and very responsive!
Host Response
It truly made us so happy to read your review John! As we get the house ready for guests, we try to imagine how they’re going to love it and we really enjoy sharing our home. Hope you and your family will come back and stay with us a little bit longer. Pura Vida 😁

This place was amazing! One of my favorite places I have ever stayed. I halfway thought about quitting my job and moving! To be clear, this place is definitely remote. We arrived after dark and it was a little difficult to navigate. Other than that, it was fantastic. We loved being out in the country and seeing cows all around. Only wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy more of what the area has to offer. Thank you for a lovely stay!
Host Response
Thank you Kyle for saying that it was one of your favorites. It makes us very happy to know that you enjoyed our place. We sure hope you can come back to visit us again. Wishing you the best!

We had such a great time at Mateo & Joanitas place. So beautiful and we loved the winds. We had 9 children with us and they loved it and did not want to leave! Mateo & Joanita have really thought about how to make guests feel welcome. There were 4 adults and all said they slept great. This is a great stay and we are so glad to choose this place.
Host Response
Thank you so much for the kind words, Ryan! We are thrilled to hear you all had such a great time. You were a pleasure to host, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime you’re in the area! Reviews like these are what makes our job fun. Wishing you and your family many blessings.

Incredible view and very responsive owners. We only stayed 1 night so didn't use the pool, but it was well-maintained and very clean.
Host Response
Thanks Barry! Appreciate the nice review. We hope to host you again and maybe for a longer stay.
