Butterfly house - Houses for Rent in Alajuela Province, Alajuela Province, Costa Rica

A wonderful stay. Maite was a very friendly and helpful host from the very first moment. The place was impeccable, very comfortable and exactly as shown in the pictures. We felt right at home and really enjoyed the experience. We would definitely stay again and recommend it 100%. Thank you very much for everything!

Una estadía maravillosa. Maite fue una anfitriona muy amable y atenta desde el primer momento. El lugar estaba impecable, muy cómodo y exactamente como se mostraba en las fotos. Nos sentimos como en casa y disfrutamos muchísimo la experiencia. Sin duda volveríamos a hospedarnos aquí y lo recomendamos al 100%. ¡Muchas gracias por todo!

My family and I felt right at home at the Butterfly House in La Fortuna. The hosts were very responsive, quickly answering any questions we had. They even gave us some terrific recommendations for local sights and outings. The space is entirely as advertised and was very comfortable for our family of four - a great place to immerse yourself in the jungle!

The Butterfly house was equipped with absolutely everything you will need to have a comfortable stay. The washer and dryer were a huge bonus for us. The volcano view from the backyard is stunning. Lots of birds to see (and hear). We even had some horses visit one day. It is a bit out of the way but we were looking for a quiet place outside of LaFortuna. Super easy check in and out.

The place was great. The AC worked beautifully and kept it very comfortable inside. The kitchen was well equipped. It’s far enough outside of town to give you nice peace and quiet but close enough that you can get to things easily. We had beautiful views of the volcano during our stay.

Cute little place. Felt very calming and peaceful located in a great location in my opinion close to everything far enough from everything. Its not our first time in costa rica and we now know where wi will be staying at in our future visits.

We stayed at Maites place for a few days. It was a lovely property with lots of nature and wildlife surrounding it. It had everything we needed and the host was very responsive when we had any questions. I would like to mention that the doors are not fully sealed, so it is very easy for bugs to come in, especially the beetles. We found turning the lights lower at night helped attract less bugs. Overall we would say it’s a great place to stay if you have a car in La fortuna.

We loved Mariposa House. Great location. Close to all the tourist attractions but far enough away from the noise. The little house is very well equipped, and the most valuable thing is the nature that surrounds it. Most importantly, our pet was welcome. We will definitely be back.

Nos encantó Mariposa House  Buena ubicación. Cerca de todo lo turístico pero suficientemente alejado del ruido. La Casita muy bien equipada y lo más valioso es la Naturaleza que la rodea y lo  más importante nuestra mascota fue Bienvenida. De seguro volveremos

It's a very nice little house with attention to detail. You can really unwind here after your experiences in La Fortuna. The house is very clean, and if you want to cook, it really has everything you need. The house is located on a very small street, but you can get to all the activities in the area quickly enough. The faucet in the bathroom is the only thing that is a nuisance. Another model should be installed there.

Es ist ein sehr schönes kleines Haus mit Liebe zum Detail. Man kann hier nach den Erlebnissen in La Fortuna gut zur Ruhe kommen. Das Haus ist sehr sauber und wenn man kochen möchte ist wirklich alles da. Das Haus liegt an einer sehr kleinen Straße, aber man ist schnell genug bei allen Aktivitäten der Region. Der Wasserhahn im Bad ist das einzige Störende. Da sollte ein anderes Modell eingebaut werden.

the house was a beautiful cute house. easy to find as they have put butterfly 🦋  symbol at the entrance. backyard is also nice to sit and relax with lots of chirping birds.

One of the best Airbnb apartments we have ever stayed in! I have never experienced such a fully equipped kitchen as here - really everything you need is there: coffee and kettle, rice cooker, contact grill, Turmix, air fryer, induction stove, etc... The kitchen utensils are impeccable. The bedrooms, living rooms are very tastefully decorated. Everything is sparkling clean and nicely thought out. The garden is also very well maintained and quite large. The location is very quiet and close to nature. I highly recommend this apartment!

Einer der besten Airbnb Wohnungen wo wir bisher gewohnt haben! Nie habe ich so ein voll eingerichte Küche erlebt, wie hier - wirklich Alles vorhanden, was man brauchen kann: Kaffee- und Wasserkocher, Reiskocher, Kontaktgrill, Turmix, Air Fryer, Induktionsherd usw… Die Küchenutensilien sind makellos. Die Schlafzimmer, Wohnzimmer sind sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Alles blitzblank sauber und schön durchdacht. Der Garten ist auch sehr gepflegt und recht groß. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig und naturnah. Ich kann diese Wohnung sehr empfehlen!

Very beautiful location and view of the volcano

A wonderful and cozy house. A very peaceful, quiet, and safe location, just 5-10 minutes from the main attractions. We loved everything. There was space to play ball, and firewood was prepared for a bonfire. At night, we could admire the stars. We will definitely recommend Maite’s house for a stay in Arenal. Thank you!

Everything was very nice and we were able to see the volcano one morning when the sky cleared. Impressive.

Todo muy bonito y nos tocó poder ver el volcán en una mañana que se despejó el cielo. Impresionante.

Finding the location and getting in was easy since the door has a code rather than a key.  This allowed us to check-in a bit early and get settled.  The host was extremely responsive when it came to questions and requests and they helped resolve everything from where to find firewood, accessing the washer and dryer, and dealing with occasional bugs.  Both bedrooms were spacious with queen beds in each and AC in all rooms.  The bathroom, while small, had a nice shower.  The location was enough outside of La Fortuna to be peaceful and quiet (and very safe), but close enough to get to any excursion or restaurant in under 15 minutes.

We loved that we saw so many birds in the backyard imduring the morning!

A very nice house equipped with everything. The beautiful, well-separated garden is great, many birds to watch, including squirrels. It's nice and quiet and the neighbors are nice.

Ein sehr schönes Haus mit allem ausgestattet. Der schöne, gut abgetrennte Garten ist toll, viele Vögel zu beobachten, auch Eichhörnchen. Es ist schön ruhig und die Nachbarn sind nett.

We had a lovely time at Casa Mariposa - the house is located in a very tranquil area just a short drive away from La Fortuna (if you have a car, very much worth it!). Everything was impeccable when we checked-in and the house was very well furnished with all kind of electrodomestics in case you are planning on cooking there: air fryer, blender, rice cooker, toaster... between others.  The outdoor area was lovely to have and so peaceful. If you are lucky enough, you may be able to spot the Arenal volcano; we could not see it during our stay as too cloudy, but I guess this is the perfect excuse to come back ;)

We found Maite’s space to match the Airbnb description. It was private and easy access by car. Maite and team provided lots of recommendations for restaurants and groceries, which we used to find some favorites. We didn’t need much from Maite and she was responsive when we had questions. The property was peaceful and surrounded by lush greenery. We were unable to see Mt. Arenal from the property as cloud coverage was not in our favor.

The house is very cozy! It has all the amenities you need for your family!! We loved it! It should be noted that the house is a little far from the city center, requiring a car to get around!

A casa é muito aconchegante! Possui todas as comodidades que você precisa para sua família!! Adoramos! Deve-se atentar que a casa fica um pouco distante do centrinho da cidade, necessitando de carro para se locomover!

The house is very spacious and offers a large garden where you can relax wonderfully. The kitchen is equipped with many utensils, so cooking is possible without any problems. Particularly impressive were the bird observations directly from the garden. The beds are very comfortable, and overall we felt really comfortable here. Highly recommended

Das Haus ist sehr geräumig und bietet einen großen Garten, in dem man wunderbar entspannen kann. Die Küche ist mit vielen Utensilien ausgestattet, sodass Kochen problemlos möglich ist. Besonders beeindruckend waren die Vogelbeobachtungen direkt aus dem Garten. Die Betten sind sehr bequem, und insgesamt haben wir uns hier richtig wohlgefühlt. Sehr empfehlenswert

Maite was an excellent host. She was very quick to respond. The views were beautiful 😍

Maite has a lovely location close to town. I'm into birdwatching, so it was nice to have a big backyard with a tall tree, perfect for pictures. Maite was quite responsive, the house is well-sized, and can accomodate quite some people, which is nice! It was good for us to be a short 5-minute drive from downtown La Fortuna so we could be away from the noise. I'd surely come back if I'm around.

A peaceful place, awesome, the house even better than in the pictures, definitely a please to visit again.

wonderful place to spend wuth family or friends

The listing is better than the pictures! Everything is spotless and the house is spacious, even for our family of 5. The kitchen is very well equipped and you can also do laundry. Plus the views are great… you'll have a nice surprise. The bedding is very comfortable and the air conditioning works very well, to have a good rest after the adventures that await you around La Fortuna and the volcano. The host is very responsive and gives all the information, in a clear and friendly way.

Le logement proposé est mieux que sur les photos ! Tout est impeccable et la maison est spacieuse, même pour notre famille de 5. La cuisine est très bien équipée et on peut aussi faire la lessive. De plus la vue est excellente… vous aurez une belle surprise. La literie est très confortable et la climatisation marche très bien, pour avoir un bon repos après les aventures qui vous attendent autour de La Fortuna et du volcan. L’hôte est très réactif et donne toutes les infos, de façon claire et amicale.

The place was beautiful,  with lots of fruit trees in the backyard,  birds. the house has all you need to feel comfortable and all looks new. Maine was very fast in answering questions and helping us. Highly recommended place.

The house is simple, spacious, very comfortable and had everything we needed. The garden is very nice, it has many plants, a grill and a place where you can do fires. It is located one 10 or 15 minutes away from the center of La Fortuna (it is necessary to have a car), in a very quiet neighborhood where there is no noise and you can hear the songs of the birds. Best of all, only 100 mts runs a very nice stream to which almost no people go and is ideal for resting and taking a dip. Would definitely recommend the place!

La casa es simple, espaciosa, muy cómoda y contaba con todo lo que necesitábamos. El jardin es muy bonito, tiene muchas plantas, una parrilla y un lugar donde se puede hacer fuegos. Está ubicada a uno 10 o 15 minutos del centro de La Fortuna (es necesario tener coche), en un barrio muy tranquilo donde no hay ruidos y se escuchan los cantos de los pájaros. Lo mejor de todo es que a solo 100 mts corre un arroyo muy lindo al cual casi no va gente y es ideal para descansar y darse un chapuzón. Sin dudas recomendaría el lugar!

Amazing! Could be called the hummingbird house. House was clean, and bigger than anticipated. Every room had its own climate control. WiFi was fast , my son and I could stream at the same time. The nature sounds in the morning is pure magic. 5 minutes to town. Had good signage so finding the house was easy. Would definitely stay again!

The Butterfly House was a wonderful place for our family. Great location, gorgeous outdoor space! We would definitely recommend this home!

We enjoyed a lot our stay in the Butterfly House. It was very well situated, close to the Arenal Park. It was very clean and perfect for a family of four. Spending ten minutes on the wooden bench behind the house equals with seeing dozens of different species of birds and insects. The sounds of nature are everywhere and the view on the volcano is quite impressive. As a suggestion, I think that a small list with different recommendations (local restaurants, activities, etc) would be a great plus. Thank You! Pura Vida!

It was nice . Area was peaceful and felt very private . Very green. Might want to buy some trash bags if you’re going to make your own food, drinks, etc. and want to throw more trash away. AC was extremely cold 👍🏼

I started mornings on the bench in the back yard, watching the birds and butterflies. Use Waze! The house is impossible to find otherwise. Very quiet and peaceful, yet a 10-minute drive to restaurants and other resources.

Amazing house with warm atmosphere Highly recommended 🦋🦋🦋

We loved our stay at the Butterfly House! It was lovely and perfectly located for all we wanted to do in our short stay. Maite was a lovely host and answered all my questions very promptly once we arrived.

We really enjoyed our stay at Butterfly House. 🦋  Beautiful space with fully equipped kitchen, dining, and living space. Great quiet location with easy access to La Fortuna. Easy and communicative hosts. Would stay again!

Great place especially if like my daughter you're a bird watcher.  The big tree in the back yard offers a changing list of species morning and night.

Beautiful place, very cozy, 100% recommended. 🙌🏻

Hermoso lugar, muy acogedor, 100% recomendado. 🙌🏻

The Butterfly House was a nice place to stay for a couple of days.  The kitchen had the basics to make simple meals.  Our host, Maite, was very responsive and helpful.

The location is a bit away from main La Fortuna town but we had our vehicle so it was perfect for us. Drive to town to restaurants, etc. is just 10 mins. All attractions are also easily reached within 30-40 mins. The house itself is cozy and comfortable. Our family of 4 had a really nice 3 day stay. The Arenal volcano is clearly visible from the backyard, weather permitting. Kitchen too, had all the necessary things provided. The hosts were really responsive and provided good recommendations for restaurants,etc. Overall a really good house to stay in La Fortuna.

Maite was AMAZING! She is so sweet and responsive, and the place was so great. Maite thought of everything: fresh coffee, all the kitchen appliances you could possibly need, even Tupperware for brining leftovers back home :) The home was also so clean, looked exactly like the photos, it was just a short drive to the city, and I would definitely stay there again! This is a gem, so please book if you can!

Beautiful garden, quietly located. Very clean and  very friendly!

Schöner Garten, ruhig gelegen. Sehr sauber und  sehr freundlich!

Everything was great! The place is very nice and clean. It also has everything you need for a short or longer stay. Truly enjoyed my stay 🙏🏼

We had a lovely time in this peaceful gem out of town. Very clean, Very quiet. Comfortable beds and linens, good air conditioning, and most of what you need to prepare basic meals in the kitchen. There are coconuts, fruit trees and chilies growing in the yard that we enjoyed. We saw toucans, lizards, and poison dart frogs around the house. There was confusion as to the location of the house. The listing map showed a very different location than the directions we were sent by the host. However, they were incredibly communicative (answering messages at 1am 🤯) and were committed to solving the listing location issue ASAP. Overall if you have a car, it's a great option to escape the standard tourist areas and have a more authentic nature based experience. You are about a 15min drive from town and 30min from the national park.

The butterfly house is located in a beautiful spot with a great private view of the volcano. The kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. The interior of the home was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. The AC unit worked great to cool us off after a fun day of hiking and horseback riding. Maite was friendly, responsive and helpful host. The yards surrounding the property was green and peaceful. My teenagers had a great time exploring the backyard, the birds and other animals that wander around the property. It was really cool to go out for short walks and find a stream surrounded by a secluded rainforest that is full of the natural sounds of the wild life. I also loved that. It was a short drive to downtown La Fortuna. Where we found a variety of fun restaurants and shops, the perfect environment for the family. We will definitely be back to this house, and would love to recommend it to everyone, it’s close to everything and feel relaxed, surrounded by nature.

Maite was fantastic and helped his through the entire process without a hitch! Loved the area and the place is pristine…will be coming through again for a longer stay.
