We greatly enjoyed our stay at the farm, we where able to see wildlife like the famous dart frogs and enjoyed the pool. It is also very close to an amazing lagoon, we had a great stay and the host was very responsive!!!

This was a peaceful little paradise. Perfect for relaxing and enjoying some beautiful plants and wildlife. Ricardo was optimally helpful in everything. Highly recommend!

I traveled with my family for a weekend break. The place is quiet and peaceful for relaxing. Nature all around to enjoy. An excellent place to travel with children and for them to enjoy the pool. Close to all the attractions in Bajos del Toro.

Viaje con mi familia para un fin de semana de descanso, el lugar silencioso y tranquilo para relajarse.. Naturaleza por todo lado para apreciarla.. Excelente lugar para viajar con niños y que disfruten de la piscina, cerca de todas las atracciones que hay en bajos del toro

A unique and very clean house in a beautiful, paradise garden. We felt like we were living in the middle of a botanical garden. Very nice and kind hosts who created a beautiful place close to nature. A very child-friendly place, for whom a big attraction was the pool immersed in greenery. We highly recommend it!

Dom wyjątkowy i bardzo czysty w przepięknym, rajskim ogrodzie. Czuliśmy się jakbyśmy mieszkali w środku ogrodu botanicznego. Bardzo mili i życzliwi gospodarze, którzy stworzyli piękne miejsce blisko natury. Miejsce bardzo przyjazne dzieciom, dla których duża atrakcją był basen zatopiony w zieleni. Bardzo polecamy!

Will absolutely be returning and recommending to others. Beautiful home and gardens - every morning we saw gorgeous birds and every night heard frogs and toads. The house was spacious and very well maintained. We made good use of the kitchen and appreciated how well stocked the kitchen was for cooking. We really enjoyed the pool with lounge space and bathroom. Observed toucans, aracaris, macaws, parakeets, hummingbirds, guans, cane toads and tree frogs. Heard howler monkeys each morning as well. So much cool wildlife from the property! Just a short drive to supermarkets and groceries. About 1.5-2 hours from La Fortuna.

It's wonderful to know you enjoyed the beautiful home and gardens, as well as the diverse wildlife that surrounds the property.

El lugar muy privado, solo el sonido de la naturaleza se escuchaba. Muy espaciosa y limpia. Muy cerca de la laguna lo cual nos encantó.

Hola Cindy, nos alegra saber que la casa se adaptó a tus necesidades y que disfrutaste de la tranquilidad del entorno y la proximidad a la laguna. Nos encantaría tener la oportunidad de volver a hospedarte para una experiencia excepcional en el futuro.

The place is beautiful, very spacious and tidy. Delicious to rest from the ordinary. We were able to walk to the Rio Cuarto lagoon because it is so close and on the way we saw monkeys, birds, squirrels, among others. The property's chemical-free pool was great, both the kids and adults enjoyed it. The attention of both the owner and the caretakers of the property was always timely and they were very attentive to any need that we had. We would love to go back!

El lugar esta precioso, muy amplio y ordenado. Rico para descansar de lo cotidiano. Logramos ir caminando ala laguna de Rio Cuarto por lo cerca que está y de camino observar monos, aves,ardillas,entre otros. La piscina de la propiedad sin químicos fue genial, la disfrutamos tanto los pequeños como adultos. La atención tanto del dueño como de los cuidadores de la propiedad siempre oportuna y muy atentos a cualquier necesidad que se nos presentara. Encantados volveríamos!

We went as a family for two nights but I would have loved to go for longer! The place is beautiful, much better than the photos show, the house is very spacious and beautiful, the activity ranch and the pool too! The gardens are magical and in general the place exudes peace and a connection with nature!

Fuimos en familia por dos noches pero me hubiera encantado ir por más tiempo!

We're delighted to hear that our team member was helpful and accommodating during your stay. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back soon!

We are really happy with our experience in this casita. From the rustic decor, the commune of the beds, the pool area, to the most incredible that for us was the garden they have with the possibility of seeing a different special of avenas, monkeys and so on. It was so relaxing to stay here. The cleanliness of the house was perfect. We felt very grateful to the guys who live next door who not only have a garden that they care for with a lot of love🧡🧡 but who were also raising our doubts about anything . Super recommended for going with friends, with family

Realmente estamos muy contentos con nuestra experiencia en esta casita. Desde la decoración rústica, la comidad de las camas, la zona de la pileta, hasta lo más increíble que para nosotros fue el jardín que tienen con la posibilidad de ver una diferentes especiales de avenas , monos y demás. Ha sido muy relajante quedarnos acá. La limpieza de la casa estuvo perfecta. Nos sentimos muy agradecidos con los chicos que viven al lado que no solo tienen un jardín que cuidan con mucho amor🧡🧡 sino que además estuvieron sacando nuestras dudas sobe cualquier cosa . Súper recomendable para ir con amigos, con familia

We felt very comfortable with the accommodation, it complied with what it takes to have a good rest. Always been in communication for anything that might be required Two things to improve: Check out time is a little early. Privacy could improve

Nos sentimos muy agusto con el alojamiento cumplía con lo que se necesita para pasar un buen descanso. Siempre se estuvo en comunicación para cualquier cosa que se requiera Dos aspectos por mejorar: La hora de salida es un poco temprano. La privacidad podría mejorar

Thank you for your suggestions regarding the early check-out time and privacy; we will certainly consider these for future improvements. We hope to welcome you back for another enjoyable stay!

The cost per pet is $200 per dog, it is information that is not clear in the listing. Vacasa's instructions are very strict and erroneous, they told us that there was space for 3 vehicles but there was actually a lot of parking space. Vacasa is a lousy property manager. However, when it is already possible to communicate with the owner Don Ricardo and the gentleman who takes care of Don Gilberto are very attentive, collaborators and I loved the deal with them, it made my stay go badly with Vacasa to Excelente with them two attending. The place is very nice and very peaceful.

El costo por mascotas es de $200 por cada perro, es información que no está clara en la publicación. Las instrucciones de Vacasa son muy estrictas y erróneas, nos dijeron que había espacio para 3 vehículos pero en realidad había mucho espacio de parqueo. Vacasa es pésimo administrador de la propiedad. Sin embargo, cuando ya se logra comunicar con el dueño Don Ricardo y el señor que cuida Don Gilberto son muy atentos, colaboradores y me encantó el trato con ellos, hizo que mi estadía pasara de mala con Vacasa a Excelente con ellos dos atendiéndonos. El lugar es muy bonito y de mucha paz.

Hey Diana, we regret to hear about the confusion regarding the pet fees and parking instructions. It's great to know that Don Ricardo and Don Gilberto provided excellent service during your stay. Your feedback is valuable, and we will work on improving our communication. Thank you for sharing your experience!

This house, gardens and pool are more beautiful than the photos show. There are many more plants, orchids, and birds than you think when seeing the listing. It was the perfect place for our family outing. We were able to ahoy the nearby Lago Río Cuarto, and then spend a lot of quality time together by the pool, cooking, taking walks, and relaxing. It was just what we wanted, and exceeded expectations!

Hey Anthony, it’s fantastic to hear that our lovely home exceeded your expectations! Thank you for sharing your experience with us; we are glad you enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and had a wonderful family outing.

Our stay was very comfortable and pleasant The house is quite complete and spacious We were very happy with the attention provided

Nuestra estancia fue muy cómoda y agradable La casa está bastante completa y amplia Quedamos muy contentos con la atención brindada

Hey Andrey, thank you for taking the time to share your valuable feedback. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the amenities and location of our condo. It’s great to know your stay was comfortable and that you appreciated the service provided!

The hosts were always hospitable and were waiting to make us feel comfortable, the place is nicer in person than in the pictures. We saw many very nice birds. It was perfect for celebrating my 29th birthday!

Los host fueron siempre hospitalarios y estuvieron pendientes a hacernos sentir cómodos, el lugar es más bonito en persona que en las fotos. Vimos muchas aves muy bonitas. Fue perfecto para celebrar mi cumpleaños 29!

Everything excellent! the pool area is very nice and spacious for asadas meats. The house is fully equipped and spacious for a large group.

Todo excelente! el área de la piscina es muy agradable y espaciosa para carnes asadas. La casa completamente equipada y espaciosa para un grupo grande.

The only thing I would add would be more cloths as there are not enough for pool use and personal use, and I would add more fans in the rooms and in the spaces because it can get very hot. Otherwise it's a beautiful and cozy place with nature around and an exc place to spend with family and friends

Lo único que agregaría serían más paños ya que no hay suficientes para uso de piscina y el uso personal, y agregaría más abanicos en los cuartos y en los espacios por que si puede hacer mucho calor. Por lo demás es un lugar hermoso y acogedor con naturaleza alrededor y un exc lugar para pasar con familia y amigos

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Mariela, we appreciate your suggestions regarding additional clothes for pool and personal use, as well as more fans in the rooms. Your insights are valuable, and we will consider your feedback for future improvements. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the beauty and coziness of the place, and we hope to welcome you back for another wonderful stay with family and friends!

A cozy cabin in the middle of a beautiful garden full of nature. The spectacular pool and terrace, to enjoy with family and friends. The house had everything we needed and very useful to have two bathrooms available. Very friendly owner and always attentive! We will repeat for sure

Una cabaña acogedora en medio de un precioso jardín lleno de naturaleza. La piscina y terraza espectaculares, para disfrutar con familia y amigos. La casa tenía todo lo que necesitábamos y muy útil tener dos baños disponibles. Propietario muy amable y siempre pendiente! Repetiremos seguro

Bird lovers’ paradise and gorgeous gardens!  Peaceful place to rest and unwind. Comfy beds, great kitchen and nice pool and grill area. Just FYI, no A/C and bedrooms are hot!  Confirm with owner that there will be fans before you arrive.

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us, Amy, we are so glad to hear that you had a phenomenal getaway. We appreciate you letting us know that there is room for improvement and will follow up with our local team regarding your feedback about the bedroom temperature and fans for future consideration. We hope to host you for another great stay in the future!

The house and gardens are beautiful. the ranch and pool perfect, many spaces to sit and share. Bathrooms are modern and very clean. And the family that takes care of the place and took care of us to enter and leave very kind. We loved the stay!

La casa y los jardines son preciosos. el rancho y la piscina perfectos, muchos espacios para sentarse y compartir. Los baños son modernos y muy limpios. Y la familia que cuida el lugar y nos atendió para ingresar y salir muy muy amable. Nos encantó la estadía!

House is as pictured and has beautiful landscape. It’s managed by a rental company who is unable to answer questions and directs you to a manager, Maria. On day of arrival Maria had not sent check in instructions. Once we were on our way to the home, we were able to get in touch with Maria who directed us to Jorge, the owner. Jorge was responsive and gave us great directions. Unfortunately, Jorge was not the owner of the house we rented. Upon arrival to the correct home, we were immediately greeted and given keys. Other than issues with check in, the house was nice. Would recommend bringing a fan. House does not have Wi-Fi. We had a lot of ants in the kitchen area checking in but they didn’t bother us. There are 2 great sodas (local diners) nearby. Also check out the local bakery that opens at 0500. I highly recommend white water rafting at Sarapiqui Outdoor Center with David, the traditional lunch and pressing cane sugar were a delightful treat.

Thoroughly enjoyed our time. We had a planned excursion that fell through on one of our days, and staying in, swimming and relaxing was perfection. Cannot recommend our stay enough.

The caretakers were amazing and super helpful! The property was beautiful

Beautiful stay, perfect place to rest and connect with nature. Very close to Laguna Río Cuarto.

Hermosa estadía, lugar perfecto para descansar y conectar con la naturaleza. muy cerca de la Laguna Río Cuarto.

This place has everything you need and the pool area was amazing. Highly recommended.

It's just a wonderful place! In the photos it looks spectacular but in person it is even more surprising, EVERYTHING is wonderful from the moment you enter the property; the customer service is the best and the communication with both the owner and the manager is excellent. We went as a family to spend a long weekend and 3 days were not enough, we definitely hope to come back to continue enjoying this amazing place. Highly recommended!

Es un lugar simplemente maravilloso! En las fotos se ve espectacular pero en persona es aún más sorprendente, TODO es maravilloso desde el momento en que entras en la finca; el servicio al cliente es de lo mejor y la comunicación tanto con el dueño como con el encargado es excelente. Fuimos en familia a pasar un fin de semana largo y 3 días no fueron suficientes, definitivamente esperamos volver para seguir disfrutando de este asombroso lugar. Recomendadísimo!

The host was friendly and responsive.  We enjoyed our time outside by the pool, gazebo, and beautiful gardens on the property.  Lots of wildlife to enjoy.

Great! This house is too nice! It is super well equipped and very close to the Rio Cuarto lagoon very close! We've been there 2 times and we'll definitely be back

Excelente! Esta casa es demasiado bonita! Esta súper bien equipada y muy cerca de la laguna de Río Cuarto! Hemos ido ya 2 veces y definitivamente repetiremos

Muy cómoda en una propiedad preciosa!! El rancho y la piscina súper aptos para un grupo de 10 o menos! Bien equipada y súper cerca de la laguna de Río Cuarto!. Definitivamente queremos volver !!!

It was a great place to stay with nature surrounding the house and beautiful wood structure. No wifi. The host was very hospitable and the check in was perfect. No AC by choice because the home is an open air design.
