The Blue House is an amazing experience. The bedrooms were comfortable and are set up to sleep a big family. The kitchen had everything needed to make meals - thank you for the coffee and tea. The outside of this property is as comfortable as the inside. In the morning we woke up to colorful birds and beautiful flora, I especially enjoyed the hammock while birdwatching. But the best part of this property is its location to the blue river. A short walk out back takes you to a peaceful, private part of this fast moving river with it's blue water. We had this space all to ourselves and enjoyed every minute of it. My only regret is my short visit, I could have stayed there for a month. Thank you for opening up your amazing home, we will be back.

We 100% recommend living the experience! We were very happy enjoying the river. It was a short stay, but we were able to rest, disconnect, and have a very pleasant time with family. The facilities are very nice, but the most special thing is the nature. The garden is full of flowers, and having direct access to the river makes this accommodation a truly unique place.

The grounds are breathtaking! We enjoyed finding wildlife right there- there was a toucan when we arrived, butterflies, hummingbirds, and even a poison dart frog. We loved the private stairs right down to Rio Celeste. It was like a little hidden paradise! I only wished we stayed more than one night!

The Blue House is a wonderful place to sit back, relax and enjoy being somewhere special. The garden was full of butterflies when it was sunny and dart frogs when it was raining! The steps down to the river open up an area that feels totally private, your own Costa Rican river and a lovely place to stay cool during the day. The Blue House was spotless and beautifully presented, the fire pit was enjoyed by all and overall we all enjoyed our stay. Anisa recommend a night walk which we all found huge fun and can also recommend.

We had a great stay in this home. It has a nice outdoor space, so we could enjoy eating outside and playing games and roasting the marshmallows in the evening that were already ready for us.

We loved our stay at the blue house. Besides it being a little difficult to get to, it is worth the bumpy drive. It’s very private, a beautiful garden and private river access. The house was spacious and cozy. Anisa is a great host with lots of helpful suggestions. We loved the river tubing adventure.
