Casa del Rio by La Fortuna vacation rentals - Houses for Rent in La Fortuna, Alajuela Province, Costa Rica

We absolutely loved our stay at this location. The house was clean and had all the amenities we needed to cook every night. We enjoyed the trails and location on the river. We would definitely stay here again!

Our family had a very nice stay. We found the house to be very comfortable for the 5 of us who were traveling. The rooms were comfortable, with air conditioning and a full bathroom in each. The kitchen was spacious and well stocked with all the utensils we needed and more, and the pool was a great plus. In addition, the proactive communication and the little touches upon arrival made us feel great. THANK YOU!!

Nuestra familia tuvo una estadía muy agradable. La casa nos resultó muy cómoda para las 5 personas que viajamos, las habitaciones cómodas,  con aire acondicionado y con un baño completo en cada una,  la cocina amplia y bien surtida con todos los utensilios que ocupamos y más y la piscina un gran plus. Además la comunicación proactiva y los detallitos a la llegada nos hicieron sentir muy bien. GRACIAS !!

The river house is a fantastic retreat that gives you an immersive jungle experience combined with very clean and comfortable modern accommodations. Lots of space for our family of 5, and our kids loved swimming in the pool. Very responsive to any questions we had and helped us to really make the most of our time in La Fortuna!

A beautiful house! We loved the landscaping and the river in the back was an added touch!! It was a perfect place to have as a home base… close to a small town that had delicious food… would stay again!

Comfortable, spotless roomy house. The pool is gorgeous, the lush grounds around the house are so serene. A wonderful place to stay

Easy check-in process. Responsive host. Excellent concierge service. Home matched the pictures and descriptions perfectly. Wonderful for families. The private chef dinner was one of the best meals of the trip!!

This house is phenomenal! Plenty of space for our two families, which consisted of 4 adults and two children. The house is extremely comfortable and the grounds are beautiful. We enjoyed the pool and just listening to the sounds of nature around us. It was easy to get an Uber into La Fortuna. Danny is a thoughtful and responsive host; he helped us plan our transportation and activities for our visit. We loved our stay and would highly recommend this house. It’s exactly as pictured and described. We’d love to come back!

I loved the place!!!! Pool was cold not sure if it could have been heated up. There were slot of ants. The river in the back was a plus. The roof started leaking on the last day. Overall I would book again.

Danny's place was a beautiful property. It was a little distance from the fast pace la fortuna. our kids enjoyed the freedom of the property. They spent time exploring the trails, seeing the river, and playing at the playground and swings. We arrived a little early to the property. Marvin helped us find a local grocery! The host was always responsive, helped plan excursions and all our transportation! It made our first visit to Costa Rica run smoothly!

The place was beautiful! I loved the pool, the river right behind the property, and the accommodations. Danny was very helpful and everyone was nice!

Great stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host was friendly and responsive. I would definitely stay here again.”

The home was fantastic and exceeded my expectations! My 6 yr old loved the pool and we used it everyday. The home was spotless! It was a great location located right by a small town with everything you need. La Fortuna is about 20min drive and it was about a 45min drive to mistico park and sky adventures for ziplining. If you use the washer/dryer do small loads because if not, the dryer will not dry them. Also there are small ants in kitchen when food is left out, so don’t leave food out and you won’t have a problem. Neither of those things hendered our vacation. Communication was excellent! Definitely one of the best airbnb we have stayed!

Beautiful stay! Had an amazing trail at the back of the house with a local water stream. We even had the amazing opportunity to see a sloth which was pointed out to us by a local. There are plenty of greenery/local plants so I spotted hummingbirds in the early morning. The house was very comfortable and clean and the hosts were very responsive and gave recommendations and booked us for local excursions (we did the hot springs at ecothermales and an at home massage). There was a local ceviche place they recommended and I loved it!

Danny’s home was literally in the jungle. It is just outside of La Fortuna and was about a 20 minute drive to all the tours and restaurants we wanted. The house was perfectly set up for 3 couples traveling together. We loved the pool and the water was clean and a perfect temperature. We saw a sloth on the property which was amazing. You can walk the trails on the property into the jungle and they are well marked. We used their team to have a chef come make dinner for us one night. It was delicious. There were plenty of towels and supplies. The host is very responsive to any question we had. We truly enjoyed this amazing home and property.

Beautiful house and property!!  The sounds of the river and wildlife was so relaxing.  We had an agouti visit one morning, and very large toads at night.  Beds were firm but comfortable and rooms very spacious.  The living room couch is uncomfortable as it has been well used.  There are other Airbnbs on the large property but never came into contact with anyone.

We had an amazing stay! The place was exactly as described, clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The host was very responsive and made everything easy from check-in to check-out. The location was perfect, and we truly felt at home. Would definitely stay here again!

We had an amazing stay! The house was very clean the grounds are beautiful. They helped with tour reservations responding almost immediately any time we messaged. Such a great experience you won’t be disappointed with this place!

Great house, amazing property! The house - it’s everything you need. Comfortable beds, great views of the jungle including watching monkeys right from your bed. The baths are nice. Very hot water with strong water pressure. The pool is good sized, we had a lot of fun in it. The small town is within walking distance and Ross Restaurante being nearly as close as the end of the driveway was great for keeping our teens fed. The property - this made our trip! We walked it many times and always found something fascinating. Look carefully and you can find so much here. 100s of hummingbirds, a family of howler monkeys (equal parts amazing and eerie to be woken by every morning), agouti, squirrels, iguanas in the palms, frogs - poison dart, tree, and glass, an amazing array of birds including toucans, blue gray tanger, bananaquits. At the river we found monkeys in the trees, watched basilisks run atop the water, and hummingbirds hover overhead. Thanks for sharing your property. Pura vida!

The house is nice and spacious. We missed having a nice place to sit, because the sofa is more of an outdoor sofa. Unfortunately, there is no insect screen in the lower living room, so you have to close the large, beautiful sliding doors again quickly; of course, there are a lot of insects outside in the evening (you are by the forest and the river). The outdoor facilities and pool are very nice. The location near La Fortuna is also great, because it's quiet and there aren't as many people out and about as in La Fortuna.

Das Haus ist schön und geräumig. Uns fehlte eine nette Sitzgelegenheit, weil das Sofa eher ein Aussensofa ist. Ein Insektenschutz im unteren Wohnzimmer fehlt leider, so dass man die großen schönen Schiebetüren schnell wieder schließen muss, dies draußen natürlich abends viele Insekten gibt (man ist ja am Wald und Fluss). Die Außenanlagen und der Pool sind sehr schön. Die Lage zu La Fortuna auch, weil es ruhig ist und nicht so viele Menschen unterwegs sind wie in La Fortuna.

A beautiful house with plenty of space! Many details had been thought of, and we felt completely at home there. We loved the large pool and the shower that overlooked the jungle. Overall, the responsiveness was good. A broken range hood was replaced the same morning. The only downside is that we did not receive a response when we asked for help arranging a cake for our daughter's birthday. The village of Chachagua is not large, but it offers everything you need, with a supermarket, a butcher, a bakery, and even some shopping options! All within walking distance. Truly a wonderful place, and I would definitely recommend it!

Een prachtig huis met super veel ruimte! Aan veel details is gedacht en we voelden ons er helemaal thuis. We hielden van het grote zwembad en van de douche die uitkeek op de jungle. De responsiviteit was over het algemeen goed. Een kapotte afzuigkap werd dezelfde ochtend nog vervangen. Enige smetje is dat we geen respons kregen bij een verzoek om te helpen een taart te regelen voor onze jarige dochter. Het dorpje Chachagua is niet groot maar biedt alle mogelijkheden met een supermarkt, slager, bakker en zelfs wat mogelijkheden om te shoppen! Dit alles op loopafstand. Echt een heerlijke plek en zou het zeker aanbevelen!

Absolutely AMAZING! The property is situated right next to a breathe taking river and the house itself is immaculate. The host was so nice and communicative, would highly recommend staying here, we will likely be back!

We had an amazing stay at Danny Araya’s place! The space was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Danny was an outstanding host—responsive, friendly, and very helpful with local recommendations. Highly recommend this listing to anyone visiting the area!

Wow!!! This was the best AirBNB I’ve ever stayed in. We saw sloths on two different days (the first day was thanks to the gardener, Daniel, who came to get us and showed us a mom with baby!). We saw a howler monkey on two different days, as well as many toucans. The pool was a dream! We all loved it and the water temperature was very comfortable. I loved that each bedroom had its own large bathroom. There was a grocery store right down the street in town, and several local restaurants (Lara’s Food was delicious and Sara’s Rolls is a fun treat). We loved staying in this quiet area rather than right in the crowded touristy areas, and it was a beautiful short drive to Arenal Volcano and the La Fortuna Waterfall. I felt like we had a more authentic experience staying at this home ☺️

Danny’s home was absolutely amazing! It was incredibly clean, spacious, and so beautifully designed—it felt welcoming the moment we arrived. The property itself is stunning, from the refreshing pool to the gorgeous tropical plants and even a peaceful stream running through it. Every detail made our stay feel special and relaxing. The home was also very comfortable, making it easy to fully unwind and enjoy our vacation. We truly had the best time here and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful and memorable getaway, and we will definitely be back again in the future. Thank you so much, Danny—Pura Vida! 🌿🌴

The house and property were beautiful and as described. The pool was gorgeous. We saw birds and an iguana, but didn't spot any sloths or monkeys. The owners were extremely responsive, and helped us out with Aloe when one of our kids got sunburned and no nearby drugstores had any instock. A few notes: the living room furniture is unbelievably uncomfortable. I had read in the reviews and saw in the pictures that it is just porch/wicker furniture, but wasn't prepared for what a bummer it was to spend the morning doing adventurous activities and not being able to chill in the afternoon or evening on a comfy couch. The cushions were SO thin and slid around. Like, deal-breaker for returning to this air bnb. No TVs in the bedroom. The beds were pretty comfortable, but only had a sheet and a fleece-y blanket. It would have been great to have one more layer. I'm sure they would have brought one, but we just dealt with it.

Great location just outside of La Fortuna.  Super clean and comfy place to stay and enjoy the area.

We truly enjoyed our stay… the home is very private but close enough to everything you want to do in the Fortuna area!

A beautiful home that was described accurately. The kitchen was fine. We mostly ate out except for breakfast. Loved the pool and the blackout curtains.

Beautiful home with a short drive to down town. Enjoyed hearing the water on the property and seeing some wildlife.  Host helped us book all our excursions and it was flawless!

This place was tough to find at night but the contact was responsive and stayed on the phone to get us there. Our phone service was terrible that’s what made it tough. Best way to find it is restaurante ross as the landmark. So spacious. Every morning I walked the grounds seeing beautiful flora, and we saw frogs, little lizards, hummingbirds, and other beautiful birds. Magical grounds. My little one loved the pool. Overall, super nice people, and owner.

Excellent accommodation, even better than in the pictures. Very clean, beautiful and quiet garden in the middle of nature. Easy access and close to all amenities . And as a bonus we were able to observe in the garden a variety of wildlife including several toucans and a sloth …. Thank you so much!

Logement au top , encore mieux que sur les photos . Très propre , jardin magnifique et au calme en plein milieu de la nature . Accès facile et proche de toutes les commodités . Et en bonus nous avons pu observer dans le jardin une faune variée dont plusieurs toucans et un paresseux …. Un grand merci!

Easily the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in. Loved eveything about it. Beautiful  property and location. We mentioned we got a flat tire on the way in and Danny was literally at our door 15 minutes later asking to take the tire to get it repaired for us. We wish we would have stayed longer. We will definitely be back.

Everything was perfect, including the private chef, the sloth dropping out of the tree into our barbecue area, and the dryer being fixed the same day it broke. The pool is beautiful and we hope to come back sometime. Thank you very much.

A clean comfortable place . Love the sound of the river water and birds while you sit by the pool. Beautiful bathrooms . We didn’t have a toaster and within an hour they delivered a brand new toaster oven! Great place

Wow!! What a house and what a location!! The house was spotless! The beds were so comfy and large so I slept so well ( apart from the howler monkeys) 😄 which i loved by the way. The pool was a added bonus after a long day out and about. It was 20 minutes outside La Fortuna which in my opinion was perfect. We saw a sloth and her newborn baby in the garden really low down in the tree. Toucans, Iguana, Motmot, Blue jeans frog and lots of other birds seen right in the garden or just by the river. We even spotted the elusive Ocelot! We didnt want to leave!! You wont regret booking this house.

We loved the house!! Really nice, quiet area and close to amenities (bank, pastry shop, grocery store, petrol). Very clean and our needs were met very quickly when we needed something. I would definitely go back to this place, it was magical!!

Nous avons adoré la maison !! Vraiment beau, coin tranquille et à proximité des commodités (banque, pâtisserie, épicerie, essence). Très propre et nos besoins étaient répondus très rapidement lorsque nous avions besoin de quelque chose. Je retournerais sans hésiter à cet endroit c’était magique !!

Such a beautiful spot. Tucked away in the jungle in one of the most beautiful places on earth. We loved everything about this place. Would love to come back someday.

Casa del Rio is a beautiful home! It was very private and looked just like the pictures. There are many exciting activities nearby. Danny and his team were excellent to work with. They had many great suggestions for activities and restaurants. We had a wonderful experience.

A stay that goes beyond our expectations. The house is a real little paradise, in incredible comfort and an enchanting environment. We can only recommend this perfect experience! Thank you

Un séjour bien au delà de nos espérances. La maison est un véritable petit paradis, dans un confort incroyable et un environnement enchanteur. Nous ne pouvons que recommander cette expérience parfaite ! Merci

This is a beautiful, private location. It’s a bit of a drive to downtown La Fortuna so if you want to be near downtown, this may be a little farther than you want. But, if you don’t mind the drive (we don’t!) and you want a modern, clean, well-manicured, private home this is an excellent choice! It was perfect for our family. The rooms all have king size beds and en suite bathrooms. The AC in the bedrooms worked great! The views of the trees and the pool upstairs were gorgeous. The hosts were very responsive when we reached out. Also, we used the travel service to book a few tours / events and it was a great experience! It was easy to use and they have excellent follow-up. Overall, this was a splendid experience my entire family enjoyed. Thank you for the amazing stay!

Danny’s place was even better than the photos. The surrounding forest was very peaceful and full of wildlife. We saw howler monkeys, toucans, and many smaller birds. Danny was very responsive. It was great to be out of the business of La Fortuna, and Chachagua was a great town with all we could need. We would love to stay again sometime!

Great house great responsiveness from the host.  Highly recommended!

Beautiful and spacious home right on the river. The house was very clean and had all the necessary kitchen utensils so we could make meals at home. Away from the busyness of the tourist areas, it was the perfect spot to relax after a long day of hiking. We spotted parrots and toucans on the property!

Overall our stay was great! The place was clean and spacious and perfect for our family. We had some trouble with the plumbing, so beware and don’t flush any toilet paper.

A stunning well maintained property in a beautiful setting. Everything was perfect

Really clean space with beautiful view. Had some troubles but Danny was quick to respond. Unfortunately the dryer did not work.

Wonderful modern home located in a private serene setting with a beautiful river just few steps away.  Everything was awesome. Definitely recommend.

We had a great time! Fit our family of five just fine and the pool and lot was amazing. Thanks for hosting!

I will surely recommend you to my friends in Quebec. I loved it. Everything was perfect. 😄WoW

Je vais sûrement vous recommander à mes amis du Québec j’ai adoré tout était parfait fait 😄WoW

Beautiful surroundings, wonderful home. Very responsive host and very accommodating. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to visit Arenal..it’s far enough out for quiet but not too far to travel. The property is pristine. And the amenities are perfect! We loved every minute of it!

Stayed here for three nights in November. Highlights were the large pool, well equipped kitchen, modern bathrooms, and very comfortable beds! House was cozy, even with the monsoon rains we experienced during our stay. When not swimming or jumping on the trampoline, our kids enjoyed hiking along the river and looking for frogs in the backyard. The caretaker helped get the outside BBQ up and running and was very friendly. Highly recommend!

A beautiful house to spend several days of rest and enjoyment, with all the amenities; very comfortable and tasteful rooms, a spacious kitchen where it is a pleasure to eat and enjoy the surroundings. A beautiful pool where you can train as well as enjoy. Overall very satisfied with the place and highly recommended.

Una hermosa casa para pasar varios días de descanso y disfrute, con todas las comodidades; Habitaciones muy cómodas y con muy buen gusto, cocina amplia donde es un placer comer y disfrutar del entorno. Una piscina bellísima donde además de disfrutar se puede entrenar. En general muy satisfecha con el lugar y súper recomendado.

Loved the beautiful home, my friends and I had a blast!!!

This house is a paradise. Located in a private area but at the same time very close to markets and pharmacies. The house is very well prepared for guests to take advantage of it. It has the necessary utensils to enjoy a home-cooked dinner. Very clean and organized with details that brighten up the home. Monkeys during the day are heard at the top of the trees. The water running from the river can also be heard from the house. The owner took time to come in and chat with us for a few minutes. I will definitely come back in the future to enjoy this oasis in the middle of the Costa Rican jungle.

Esta casa es un paraíso. Localizada en una área privada pero a la vez muy cerca de mercados y farmacias. La casa está muy bien preparada para que los huéspedes puedan aprovecharla. Contiene los utensilios necesarios para disfrutar de una cena echa en casa. Muy limpia y organizada con detalles que iluminan el hogar. Los monos durante el día se escuchan en la cima de los árboles. El agua corriendo del rio también se puede oír desde la casa. El dueño tomo de su tiempo para introducirse y conversar con nosotros por unos minutos. Definitivamente volveré en un futuro a nuevamente disfrutar de este oasis en el medio de la jungla de Costa Rica.

Great place. Loved the pool. House looks just like the photos, very peaceful space! Would definitely stay again!

This house is fantastic all around. The house, land, and pool are all clean and taken care of. The house is just out of the pictures. Host is extremely easy to communicate with and answer any questions. AND they have local travel experts/ concierge that starts communicating with you well before your trip to help you plan anything you need. They even helped make the hot springs/spa happen at the last minute for us. Highly recommend

One of the best and beautiful house I enjoyed my stay was so relaxing and beautiful and amazing view from every room I have no words to describe But Amazing Amazing place 1000% recommendations

Hola Muchísimas gracias por tu evaluación. Esperamos su regreso. Nos encantó su visita

Lovely place! We worked remote from here and it was incredible!

This was the most beautiful home I’ve ever stayed in. It was very clean. It was everything. I imagine. I love the private room downstairs. The water gets really really hot. The Private Chef that they recommended made us a delicious breakfast. The massage therapist came for four of my guest, and we all were accommodated. The river is not too far away literally two minutes, only con I would say there is a lot of bugs but that’s not their fault because of there in the middle of the jungle and there’s no AC in the common spaces only in the rooms but other than that, everything was amazing. Service was great. Even the maintenance guy on site was very helpful. he took us to get salt and then brought us more salt. I love this place and if I were to visit, I would rebook. 10s across the board.

We had a wonderful stay. We have a family of 5 and had my parents visiting and had plenty of space. The grounds were incredible. The owner and host were friendly and so attentive to all our needs. The pool was so much fun!

This place is amazing - out of a movie! The bedrooms are huge with amazing bathrooms. But what is more breathtaking are the views and the sounds of the jungle throughout the day and night. The villa had everything you may need and the pool is an amazing extra! The host is extremely nice and helpful and sent us loads of food and activity recommendations. Would definitely come here again!

Great stay for family trip to La Fortuna.  One road to all activities within 30 mins.  Local town was walkable with options for restaurant.  Property was very clean and provided sufficient amenities.  Large kitchen and 2 living areas.  Nice pool and outdoor space.

This was a quiet place with the sound of the river in the background. He left us a lot of food and drinks to welcome us.

I met the doctor who owns the property and we connected immediately since we have the profession in common, and in addition to the place being as shown in the photos, the river that is there is a super plus for everyone, I only recommend bringing repellent since the area is very natural and obviously there will always be mosquitoes.

Conocí al doctor dueño de la propiedad y conectamos de inmediato ya que tenemos en común la profesión, y además de que el lugar es lo que se muestra en las fotos el río que se tiene por ahí adelante es un súper plus para todos, solo recomiendo llevar repelente ya que la zona es muy natural y obviamente siempre habrá mosquitos.

Muchas gracias por tu comentario y por habernos escogido. Feliz regreso.

A great house in the rainforest. A short drive to all the attractions around La Fortuna. Well equipped with everything we needed. It was straightforward to find with the instructions and very private. The pool was a great addition. We did find a lot of ants on the kitchen work surfaces, and there aren’t any flyscreens on the main doors to the outside which meant we had to keep them closed at all times unfortunately. Overall a great stay for our La Fortuna visit.

Our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids, ages 7 and 11) had a fantastic stay at Danny's place in La Fortuna! The home is lovely, clean and comfortable. The pool was absolutely great, felt very private and surrounded by the jungle and the sounds of the river flowing. The grounds were beatiful and well cared for. A short drive to downtown La Fortuna and Arenal volcano. Highly recommend this property!

We loved this house in Chachagua!  Beautiful, clean and secluded.  From the nice welcome basket, to the pool, trampoline and river out back, I would definitely stay here again.  Danny was a great host - excellent communication and friendly.  Highly recommend this Super Host!

One of my favorite airbnbs I’ve ever stayed at. The location was perfect and offered a lot of privacy. Additionally it was very close to the nearby town allowing us to easily get groceries and find a place to eat. Overall a 10/10 stay, would highly recommend.

Our family of 5 had an amazing stay at Danny’s home. Our 3 small kiddos loved the pool and were in there day and night! We felt it was very private and stunning scenery! Everything was very clean and beds were comfortable. All the bathrooms were incredible-clean and gorgeous! We used the laundry a few times and it does take clothes a long time to dry but if you hang them up in the house, they will dry out eventually. It was a short 20 minute drive into La Fortuna where we ate at some delicious sodas-especially loved the Red Frog Cafe! We will surely be back to this home!

Danny's place was amazing.  Beautiful surroundings and the trails were amazing.  The place was spacious and pretty well equipped with everything we needed for our stay.  Nice alternative to the hustle and bustle of La Fortuna, but still close enough to get to all the attractions in the La Fortuna area.  We would go back to Danny's place for sure!  The surroundings are even better than the pictures.

Beautiful place - you can see part of  owners house close by on hill & another 2 bldg on property that were empty. - so still very private. Pool big & refreshing. Within 15-20 min of la Fortuna & its restaurants & excursions. Would stay again!!

Beautiful property. We had a great time. If you are looking for something in the middle of the tourist zone this isn’t it. But if you want a quiet and beautiful local where you can unwind you should consider this property!

Great place to stay. Pool and ambiance is top notch. Highly recommend!

We had a great stay at this Airbnb in La Fortuna! The house was really spacious and comfortably fit our group of five, with plenty of room to relax. It’s definitely secluded, which gave us a peaceful, private atmosphere, but it was still conveniently close to everything we wanted to see and do in the area. The space was clean and well-kept, and we really enjoyed our time there. Our host was very responsive and poised, always quick to reply and helpful with any questions we had. The only minor downsides were ants on the kitchen counter before our arrival and some issues with drying our clothes, but those didn’t take away from the overall experience. Overall, it’s a lovely spot that I would recommend to anyone visiting La Fortuna—great for groups looking for space, comfort, and easy access to both nature and town.

Amazing place with a great pool! Access to lots of activities in La Fortuna (about 20 minutes) and nearby places (30-40 minutes) yet quiet and secluded with a small town feel. We had a great stay and I would recommend this place!

By far the BEST Airbnb I have ever stayed at. Looks better than the pictures. We are going to come back here for a big family trip. The pool was amazing, the kitchen was stocked, the grounds were clean, and right on the river?! Literally the best Airbnb experience, thank you!!

This was THE perfect house off the beaten track away from tourists in La Fortuna for a family with young kids! And still close enough to all the activites you may want on vacation here. The house was pristine, the grounds stunning and the pool was perfect! The trails around the house skirted a beautiful river, we saw toucans, tree frogs and many species of birds! Danny was very helpful and nice. They had a travel crib for my 1yr old and even left a few pool floats for my 6 and 8yr old boys. Washer and dryer was a real help too! Thank you!

Beautiful house, spacious and well-equipped. The pool is very nice and we loved that it had a nearby river and a good path to get to it. Danny was always attentive to anything we needed.

Hermosa casa, espaciosa y bien equipada. La piscina muy bonita y nos encantó que tuviera un río cercano y con un buen camino para llegar a el. Danny siempre estuvo atento a cualquier cosa que necesitáramos.

We have been to many airbnbs around the world, and this was by far the best. Large, clean and newly renovated/furnished house with all appliances and facilities needed. We cooked all our meals at home easily and did the laundry daily. The pool is great and cleaned/refilled almost daily, the grounds are also maintained and cleaned daily, which is necessary in the middle of a tropical forest. Great care was taken with thought of every detail for hospitality and convenience, and it shows. Danny was really nice and answered all our questions and queries rapidly. There is a grounds caretaker- Daniel, who assists immediately with every issue. It is located 20 minutes (drive) from Fortuna and 20-45 minutes from all nearby attractions and trails. We stayed for a whole week, and I was sad to leave and continue our journey in Costa Rica. Any nature lover would love the place immensely. However, if you are afraid of bugs, or resent sleeping amongst nature, I am not sure the house is for you.

We absolutely loved staying here! I was a bit nervous being outside of La Fortuna, but it was well worth it to have such an amazing space and what felt like our own personal rainforest. We loved the walking trails and beautiful river, we saw many birds, frogs, and an iguana that was at least 4 feet long! Chachagua is a wonderful little town with great restaurants and a well-stocked grocery store. There is a sidewalk at the end of the road so you can safely walk into town. Everything was exactly as described in the listing, and the host and concierge were so helpful in planning an unforgettable trip.

Everything was excellent, the property was really well-kept in every detail, totally recommended. My wife and daughter loved it, it's definitely another visit with the rest of the family.

Todo estuvo excelente la propiedad súper cuidada en cada detalle totalmente recomendado a mi esposa le encantó y a mi hija, es definitiva otra visita con el resto de la familia.

The house and property is absolutely stunning, well-maintained and clean. Located approximately 15 minutes outside of La Fortuna in the town of Chachagua, the property is close to a few supermarkets, restaurants, bakery, fruit market and ice cream shop - everything you could want but without the tourist prices and still very close to all the activities. The house is exactly as pictured and backs on to a beautiful river. Danny was incredibly responsive and provided lots of recommendations for attractions, groceries and restaurants.

We had a fantastic stay! Danny was incredibly accommodating and helpful throughout our trip. He made communication easy and even helped arrange taxis for our excursions, which was a huge help. The house was beautiful, spotless, and exactly as pictured. The private chef and in-home massages were amazing extras—highly recommend booking them! The pool was also a great bonus and perfect for relaxing. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks for everything, Danny!

Wonderful place. From the pool area to the kitchen and the spacious and comfortable bedrooms. The big bonus was the river. About 15 minutes away from La Fortuna, but a cute little village within walking distance. I would highly recommend this place. They responded quickly to our need.

We loved our stay! Beautiful place tucked away with beautiful walking paths through rainforest. Danny was very responsive. Would stay again.

Amazing home and responsive host!  The place is a relatively short drive into Fortuna and we enjoyed the peaceful setting.  Danny sent a video in advance which made check in easier as we arrived after dark.  Highly recommend!

We loved this house. It was very close to La Fortuna, but felt a world away with the trees and river setting. The din of insects and birds was incredible. The first morning we could hear howler monkeys in the distance. Very spacious place, all the modern amenties, and a very thoughtful gift package of beer, coffee and plaintain chips when we arrived. Danny was waiting for us to check in and was easy to communicate with. We ended up doing an ATV tour through him and it was the highlight of our three days there. My only suggestion is to get a more comfortable couch in the living space. The couch was more wicker patio furniture than sofa, so it was not the most comfortable seat to lounge in. Kids loved the pool and trampoline. We had a nice meal at Ross restaurant, which is about 1 min from the house.

This home was more beautiful than the pictures and had a very private yard. We loved sitting outside and watching the toucans, hummingbirds, and countless other birds each morning. The pool was amazing and a great way to relax after being out all day doing activities. Danny was amazing and very responsive. We had one maintenance request and someone came within an hour to fix. I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing!!!!!!   Stayed here three nights and my kids wanted to just stay there the rest of the trip.  Great communication!  Stayed at a lot of Airbnb’s and this one was easily our favorite.   Great price and beautiful place!  Birds all over property and the river was amazing!  Perfection.

My husband and I stayed there with our two young boys and we absolutely loved it! It’s exactly as pictured! Very clean, spacious, private and in a great location! We loved walking around the property and swimming in the pool! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to stay while traveling the area! Danny was so great and helped us with our car rental which was very smooth. They picked us up from the airport and took us to our vehicle and shuttled us back to the airport after our stay! A fantastic stay and we hope to go back!!

The stay was absolutely spectacular. Not only was the house incredible but the location too. One of the days we were in the pool while monkeys were swinging around in the trees and parrots were flying around. I highly recommend! Finding the house can be a little difficult so make sure you watch his YouTube video and it’ll be easy to find.

This house was amazing! It was a great introduction to Costa Rica. Our family of five were very comfortable and enjoyed the natural beauty of the property. The teens did not  want to leave.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience. A true oasis, the sounds of the river and the wild life sweep you away from every worry. The only thing I would say to note is that if you’re people who like to loungue on the couch and watch TV, the indoor furniture is actually patio furniture so not that comfy. But totally makes sense since you have the pool and river right there, the house is designed to make sure wet bodies don’t ruin things. Also, I did wish there were screens and fans downstairs so you could keep the doors to the pool open. But would absolutely go again even if nothing changed!

Beautiful, secluded home. They have thought of everything. We enjoyed the pool, trail to the river and the openness of the home. It was a little hard to find BUT we didn't watch the video until we were there. Watch the video. Great place.

Absolutely amazing place.  Very clean, spacious, and private.  The property was extremely relaxing. Danny is an unbelievable host. When Air Canada lost our luggage, Danny helped facilitate drop off by communicating with the delivery driver on our behalf. If we could give 6 stars we would.

Danny’s house was exactly as the listing described. The house was immaculate. It is tucked away in your own little rainforest oasis. The river near the property was an added treat. We greatly appreciated the non scented laundry detergent that the bedding was washed in. And the local plantain chips and coffee he left for us was so welcoming. We look forward to coming back!

We loved our stay at this beautiful home just outside La Fortuna! The house is modern and beautiful with simply amazing surroundings gardens.  The pictures don’t do it justice! Danny was quick to respond when we had a maintenance issue.  We did struggle with getting the dryer to work on our last day but overall everything else was fantastic. Our kids cried when we left.
