The Space

Wake up in Balgüe to breezy mornings, sweeping volcano views, and the gentle sounds of farm life. The Butterfly House is a cozy, solar-powered hilltop retreat featuring:

• Air conditioning
• Fast Wi-Fi
• Hammocks for lazy afternoons

Perched above the village, it offers cooler temperatures, fewer insects, and a peaceful escape surrounded by nature. Inside, you will find comfort and charm:

• The master bedroom has air conditioning, a queen bed, and a full bed, making it perfect for couples or families.
• A second bedroom with bunk beds and fans is great for kids or extra guests.
• The kitchen is fully equipped and overlooks the garden.
• The bathroom features both an indoor shower with volcano views and a refreshing outdoor shower under the open sky.

Outside, life moves at a slower pace. Enjoy the following:

• Watch goats, donkeys, and chickens grazing just beyond your porch.
• Pick fresh mangoes, bananas, or avocados in season.
• Relax in hammocks and sip coffee as butterflies and hummingbirds visit the flowers.
• Explore nearby hiking trails, kayaking spots, and cafés in Balgüe.

If the Butterfly House is booked, inquire about our Vista View on the same property. You can also check out our two lake access houses, Heron House and Kingfisher House, down the road from our farm. Animal lovers are welcome to give our dogs and cats lots of love. Abrazo, our big orange cat, loves to be picked up.

Guest Access

The listed price includes accommodation for two adults (any children younger than 10 years are included in the base price). Guests renting the house have access to the entire property, with extra space available for friends and family for an additional USD $10 per person per night.

There are plenty of activities on the farm, including:

• Walking with our farmhand to pick eggs for breakfast from our free-range hens.
• Trying your hand at milking our goat and making cheese, which is incredibly delicious.
• Enjoying our entirely organic garden, full of tropical fruits and vegetables.

Location

Stay on a peaceful, off-the-beaten-path farm in the tropical forest, just minutes from horse riding, hiking trails, and quiet beaches. Meet the friendly Nicaraguans who care for the farm and make your visit unforgettable.

Soak in sweeping views of Lake Nicaragua and both volcanoes from the spacious balcony, where a near-constant breeze keeps insects away. Wake to the sounds of monkeys, parrots, goats, and the occasional rooster. Pick fruit straight from the trees, milk a goat, or gather your own eggs for breakfast.

Our home runs entirely on solar power, and we live sustainably by recycling, reusing, composting, and using only natural pest sprays made from garlic, onion, and chili peppers. This is your chance to experience Ometepe’s beauty, community, and nature in one unforgettable stay.
