Luxury private villa on boutique hotel property - Bungalows for Rent in Nuevo Arenal, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Beautiful place just as the pictures. Welcoming and responsive staff. Hot pool with the rooms a definite plus. Make sure small kids have floaties as the pool can be deep.  Kids will require close supervision as the pool does not have a perimeter fence. With proper precautions, it was a memorable stay.

La Mansion is an amazing location!  We were a group of six and couldn’t be more pleased with our accommodations.  The lake view was amazing, they coordinated a horse back ride right from our door, we watched amazing birds and monkeys, had a terrific breakfast each morning and the staff was helpful and so friendly.  Can’t wait to come back someday!! Perfect location to explore the area!

Wonderful casita that's part of a larger hotel. The warm private pool on the porch was perfect as was the view. The bedrooms were comfortable and beautiful tiles in all the bathrooms. We ate breakfast at the hotel each morning and interacted with the pleasant staff. Very close to the area attractions. Would highly recommend.

Wow!! This is one amazing and funky place. The view and pool were so wonderful, we curbed our plans for a day and opted to just chill…so glad we did. The restaurant and hotel staff couldn’t be more sweet, the food is delicious, and the villa is so unique! Everywhere you look something new catches your eye. Added bonus: friendly dogs swing by now and again to say hi :) The AC works very well, WiFi is solid, kitchen is stocked, and parking is simple and convenient. We stayed 5 nights and it was exactly what we were looking for! Can’t wait to come back! Paradise.

This was our favorite Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in! The pictures do not do it justice, the actual place itself exceeded our expectations. There is so much attention to detail in the decor, and a gorgeous view. There are horses roaming the surrounding area that you can see past the fence of the private garden. Housekeeping everyday was so nice, they even cleaned my friend’s shoes (which they totally did not have to do), but speaks to how above and beyond the staff goes. Caesar the receptionist has incredible energy, is caring and responsive, and helped so much with booking excursions like ATV and Zip-lining. He is also really cool, we all loved him especially because he also lived in Brooklyn where we were coming from!!! The Inn this Airbnb is located offers so many amenities and things to do that they can help you book. We would definitely come back to this exact location. Such a magical experience cultivated by the land and the suite, 11/10 recommend!

This villa was a great value find in a very idyllic setting. The private plunge pool was awesome, the staff was great and the onsite restaurant was delicious. It was foggy/rainy when we were there so we didn't use the big infinity pool but it looked lovely. I will note that the king bed is right inside the main door and not a separate bedroom so thats just an fyi for the privacy of the sleeping accommodations (the other two bedrooms were their own rooms). The third twin bed was fairly small and the mattress felt pretty uncomfortable so our 7th guest slept on the large sofa. Otherwise the beds were fine. The kitchen was well stocled though we barely used it. The bathrooms were very pretty with the tile. It's important to remember that this is a very forestry setting as we encountered a very large spider in one of our bathrooms and multiple geckos inside and outside the property. The spider gave us a bit of a scare but we got it outside and it wasnt posionous or anything.

This Airbnb was very romantic and magical. We stayed for 5 nights. The views from the deck with the private pool were spectacular, and the variety of birds passing by and the horses grazing right out front added to the ambiance. The house was grand with beautiful artwork and wall paintings. As were the wooden accents and arched doorways. It was like an orgasm for the eyes! The provided breakfast was lovely (perfect for vegans), and the kitchen was well equipped. The water pressure out of the rainfall shower was wonderful. We were a party of 4 plus a 20 month old, and our baby loved everything as well, especially the pool. We would highly recommend this bnb if you're looking for a quiet and romantic getaway. If you want to explore the Arenal area, rent a car as there's only 2 restaurants close by and 1 convenience store. The staff were also accomodating and friendly and they provided us with anything we requested. We are grateful to have found this gem!

Very nice and spacious.  The view is phenomenal.  Peggy was very attentive and responsive.  Would recommend.

This place has the benefits of a private cottage while still being connected to a resort style setting. The master bedroom has one of a kind look and feel and is huge! The other two rooms each have their own bathroom, so the entire place could comfortably host 5-7 guests. If you're like me and you love a dip in a pool that is on the cooler side and don't want to get sunburned (covered patio), you'll especially like the pool on the patio.

Fantastic place at a great location with an awesome view.  Loved it.

The house is amazing. Beautiful, private, incredible views. A couple problems, but the gentleman at the front desk took care of things quickly, and even volunteered a comp’d meal for our trouble. Location is a little far from Fortuna activities, but I’d trade the drive for the beautiful setting. And if you’re just looking to relax, it’s perfect.

Our stay at Mansión Inn Arenal was a great decision. We were a group of 7 and stayed in a 3 bedroom/3 bath cabin with lovely decor, comfortable furnishings, good AC, and a private plunge pool. Nice and relaxing after days of adventure. The kids played in the large property pool. The surroundings were beautiful and the views on Arenal Lake and Volcán Tenorio from our terrace were spectacular. Birds all over the place and the sounds of frogs, other critters, and rain at night made the place feel peaceful and magical. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Had breakfast at the restaurant one morning and it was delicious with fresh Fruit and other choices. Had a pipe burst one night...contacted host and property manager and it was fixed promptly causing minimal disruption. They were kind enough to let us have breakfast on them for the convenience which is greatly appreciated. We hope to come back to this beautiful place our next trip to Arenal. Thank you!

We really enjoyed having you and your family stay with us. Hope to have you stay again in the near future. Pura Vida!!

We really enjoyed the nature and views over lake Arenal. Short drive to local grocery store, German bakery and restaurants. The villa in colonial spanish style is very cosy and comfortable. The villa's pool was refreshing. A bit uncomfortable was to use small cooking pot as a tea cattle.

Nice accommodation with outstanding views and sunsets.  Worth it just for the sunset alone!!  This is not private house on a private property though.  It’s a casita within a small resort.  There is a private pool in this casita but the hot tub is shared with the other 10 casitas.  We were a bit surprised by this but found it to be completely irrelevant.  The property is gorgeous, the restaurant in the resort has incredible food and we loved our stay there.  Totally worth it!

Peaceful and serene. A piece of paradise. Pictures, while accurate, are not quite enough to describe the beauty of this place. You have to experience it. The drive in either direction is unbelievably picturesque! Don’t hesitate to venture out and try local restaurants, besides the on-site restaurant—there’s two more literally next door and they’re amazing. Hotel staff was incredible —extremely helpful and kind. It just absolute dream to stay here. Can’t wait to return!

I have travelled extensively for decades and I have NEVER stayed in a better accommodation!!!

An amazing house with a great view of the lake. 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The kitchen was all we needed to cook some good meals. The pools in the house and the hotel were a definite plus. Very friendly staff ! Really recommend

Staying here was one of the best decisions we made for our first trip to Costa Rica. This was a girls trip of five women and we had plenty of room to relax, stretch out and have some privacy. We rented a car and that was a good idea for the area. It was a bit arduous to get to the place from San Jose, flying into Liberia might be a good idea. The fact that the bungalow was on a small resort allowed us to have the best of both worlds; private home but amenities of the restaurant and staff. The place was beautiful. The architecture and design of the bungalow felt as if we were living in a rich hacienda. Its position allowed us a well framed view of the lake and the large windows allowed us perfect views of the surrounding area. Everyday we saw an assortment of birds in the rainforest. We also had visits from the local pets (cats and dogs) on the porch which we enjoyed. A few drinks around the private warm pool got a lot of use especially after a day of horseback riding or hiking. The staff was exceptional; very friendly, helpful and spoke english. They were kind to our broken Spanish. and helped us learn more about the area and culture. After researching many tours and activities we ended up going with the resorts recommendations and we were glad we did. One of the servers Allan has a tour business and we went on a walking tour to the observatory with him. We had a very wonderful time, learning many things about the area as he has lived and worked here his entire life. We also had massages in the bungalow arranged by the resort and they were excellent. The food for breakfast and dinner was top notch and gourmet as advertised. Very fresh and local. We quickly gave up considering cooking anything and ate at the resort or a few other local establishments. We enjoyed out stay immensely and would recommend it to anyone.

His is the most  incredible Airbnb ive been. The lake view is priceless. The cabin is incredible luxurious. The attention was awsome too. They are no downsides with this Airbnb. Totally recommended.

Great staff and great views!!! I’d def come back.

Absolutely stunning property!! Gorgeous views from all directions. The pool on our patio facing the mountains and lake at sunset were a highlight of our trip. Several delicious restaurants within walking distance. The home is within an hour to most points of interest. I had been dreaming of this spot before our trip and will continue to dream of it moving forward. Some points to note. The wifi was very weak, so if you need to work remotely, it will be a challenge. Also, the pools are pretty deep so, if you bring a child who hasn’t yet learned to swim, bring some floaties. Absolutely cannot wait to return to this amazing location!!

We had a fantastic time in the villa. It is in a very special location. The photos don’t make it justice. The view from the veranda is absolutely breathtaking. The villa is very well equipped, very comfortable and very pretty. Everyone was really friendly and helpful. The food was great in the local restaurant. We loved every minute of our stay.

What an amazing place to stay. You can’t beat the view and the whole setting was unique and carefully out together atmosphere.  Restaraunt was delicious and service was amazing.

Great view! The private pool can be heated and was amazing! The place is decorated in such a fun and beautiful way! The beds were not very comfortable. We would stay again.

This is a magnificent place in a gorgeous setting. The staff is friendly and helpful and there’s lots to do in the area.

Such a beautiful location and the house is spectacular and spacious.

A little piece of heaven! We’ve been coming here for years and love it each time. Comfortable, peaceful, great hosts, & delicious food.

The most spectacular view and an excellent place, which exceeds all expectations!

La vista mas espectacular y un excelente sitio, que excede todas las expectativas!

Very spacious vila. Lots of birds to watch just from the porch. Had a great time.

10/10 would recommend to anybody. The location, price, views and rooms can’t be beat!

Amazing house in a dream location. Decorated with pleasure. Perfect to enjoy. True to the photos

Increíble casa en una ubicación de ensueño. Decorada con mucho gusto. Perfecta para disfrutar. Fiel a las fotos

If you want a central location that has amazing views, food, service and accommodations look no further.  Truly one of a kind find!!!

Awesome place. Awesome view. Everything was great. Friendly people.  Unbelievable view from the porch. Great place, highly recommended.

Mansion hotel cottages are really lovely in a perfect setting!  My husband and I and our four small dogs stayed recentlyfor 3 nights and it was a truly delightful experience. The open air restaurant opens up to a large level lawn, overlooks the lake and volcano and couldn't be more charming. The staff were all perfectly attentive, interesting and professional. The gorgeous pool and hot tub area, (which is within its own covered and yet open rancho for privacy), adjacent to the restaurant, are also perfectly placed to enjoy the view. Our room was really big, fresh and clean, with extra spces, double bathroom, loads of windows, great water pressure in the showers, comfortable sofa, nice sheets, and king size bed in a cool loft- like upper level. Great espresso maker in the room and mini fridge too! . The outside private porch overlooked the lake and horse pasture...we arrived at night so were greeted with the view upon awakening....what a welcome treat! There are many mini cottages here, but they are staggered nicely so each one has a great sense of privacy. The restaurant serves delicious food, especially the breakfasts!! We had an excellent time at this smartly designed boutique hotel. Highly recommend!!

Beautiful house, plenty of space, excellent support staff. If you're visiting Costa Rica and want to stay in the Arenal Volcano area, as long as you're okay with a 45-minute drive to get to most of the attractions, you can't go wrong with this house.

Exactly as advertised. The views are amazing!! We had a chance to see many birds, including parrots and toucans, and so many frogs/toads of all sizes! The property felt very private, yet being attached to the B&B gave us more full service options. The restaurant on site was outstanding - every meal was fresh and delicious and very reasonably priced. Although it is a bit of a drive to any activities, it was well worth it. If I make it back - I would definitely stay again!

This home is really nice. We usually rent homes that are freestanding and not connected to anything else but with Covid, I felt better having the staff to support with questions. The staff are all amazing, especially Christopher! They were all so kind and helpful. We actually never met Peggy. The view is so beautiful! And, if you are willing to brave the chill, the pool in front of the home is lovely. The shared pool was a bit warmer and the warm pool was really lovely! For us, we wanted to social distance during times of Covid so the location was awesome. Not a lot close by so not super touristy. But for those who want to do lots of activities, La Fortuna is a 45 minute drive on a very windy road. It was worth it for us to stay distanced and to have the quiet. We would have loved the small pool in front of the house to be heatable for extra charge as we didn't use it much because it was way too cold. The shared cooler pool was a bit warmer and the warm pool was fabulous! It was great to have the restaurant for all meals and drinks. The restaurants just outside of the driveway were fabulous and the coffee shop was good as well. Mistico hanging bridges aren't super far and the town of Arenal Nuevo was about 15 mins the other direction. There is no washer or dryer in the home but they will do laundry for $18 a bag, which is really nice.

Bird watcher’s paradise!! The views from our villa were unbelievably beautiful! We stayed in Villa #10 that had a kitchen and it’s own little private pool. The villa could sleep 7 people comfortably. The on site staff were extremely helpful and friendly and helped us navigate the area. There is not a washer and dryer in the villa, but they will do your laundry for $18 USD per load. Cost of lodging and food and beverages on site was reasonable and comparable to prices in the USA. I’d definitely return to this little boutique resort and request the same villa. We found having a kitchen was useful for a longer stay, though the restaurant is open from 7 am until about 8 pm.

What a view and the privacy with your own pool was amazing. I miss this place.

This home is amazing, was excited from other reviews and the house did not disappoint, great location and perfect scenery to wake up to. This house is how Costa Rica should be enjoyed! From the drive to it from the cozy decor! Highly recommend!

The villa is amazing! The view of the vegetation, lake, and mountains was surreal. The area is quiet, clean, safe, and gorgeous.

Spectacular place, very quiet and very good service

En lugar espectacular, muy tranquilo y muy buen servicio

Wow!! The best place of luck without a doubt

Wow!! El mejor sitio de la fortuna sin duda alguna

Absolutely beautiful place. They, also, have great food. I’d book it again in a heartbeat

A great experience, the views over the lake are amazing, and the private pool very refreshing. The villa is well equipped for an extended stay, and very private.

The view is breathtaking! The house is beautiful and comfortable. We can't wait to go back!!!

Wow!!! Very spacious, spectacular view! We felt very safe being inside the hotel. They always gave us attention to every detail.

Wow!!! Muy amplia, vista espectacular! Nos sentimos muy seguros al estar dentro del hotel. Nos brindaron siempre la atención a cada detalle.

The place is very nice and quiet.  It's over the main street, near a small pulperie. The nearest village is Nuevo Arenal 10-15 minutes by car. It does not have direct access to the lake but can be reached by walking.

El lugar es muy bonito y tranquilo.  Está sobre la calle principal, cerca de una pulpería pequeña. El pueblo más cercano es Nuevo Arenal a 10-15 minutos en carro. No tiene acceso directo al lago pero se puede llegar caminando.

Amazing place ! The view to the lake is just incredible, the support team is so kind and extremely helpfull.

Pick this place, don’t look any further! Stayed here for just over a week with 4 guests. We loved the cozy decor, bright colors inside and the private pool overlooking the lake. The location was great and ended up being fairly central to most of the towns we visited during our stay. Make sure when you stay here you visit a local restaurant called Gingerbread- located about 10 mins away from this hotel and has great food.

Great location and great views! Staff was very helpful and great hospitality! Our villa was fantastic and had great views! We enjoyed it! Morning hours were the best, great bird watching.

Property exceeded our expectations we will definitely be back to La Mansion Inn when we return to Arenal in the future!!

A place not to be missed.   May be hard to leave for sightseeing 😂

This Airbnb was phenomenal. The restaurant and view are amazing. The host was very helpful, and the staff was overly polite. The only con was that the water to fill the bathtub doesn’t really get much hotter than luke warm. The decor was cozy and the location was close to lots of excursions. Highly recommend!

Beautifully furnished space with an outstanding view of the lake.    We just loved sitting on the patio.   Don’t look further- just book here.

Great view, spacious home like accommodations, private, and surrounded by birds and wildlife.

Bungalow was much larger than it appears in the pictures. The views of the lake and mountains were absolutely amazing while swimming in the private pool on the patio. It is a short drive from Nuevo Arenal (~13 mins), but there is much more to do in La Fortuna (which is a bit longer of a drive ~35 minutes). There are also a few excellent Sodas (traditional Costa Rican restaurants) and a mini-mart all within a few minute walk down the road. When you stay here, you are surrounded by farmland, wildlife, and lush tropical landscapes.  We all enjoyed our time staying here.

What an amazing property. It looks great on the pictures, but in person it's even better. The view is breathtaking and the house is impeccable. Very comfortable, great art, all the amenities you would need. Really easy check-in too. Can't recommend enough!

The villa was beyond our expectations and was amazing both in its facilities, view and cleanliness. The hotel pool was picture perfect and it was wonderful to relax beside it and look out over the lake. Our plunge pool was cool but still as enjoyable. The housekeeping staff ( who were never saw) kept the villa in pristine condition and we loved the towel arrangements. However, we were disappointed with the lack of communication throughout the 3 night stay, the restaurant being closed in the evening, when we had planned to celebrate our wedding anniversary and the general lack of welcome compared to all the other Costa Rican hotels, villas, honestays that we have stayed in over the last month.

Views are best.  Feels like you're part of a family home stay.  Will come back

Great location, great value...would highly recommend.

Wow! What a beautiful place! Great location and so quiet! Waking up to the lake view and having a private pool was fantastic. Really good value for a family of 5.

We spent 8 nights at Villa 10 that we rented. I'll break this review down into location, property, and amenities, Location: The Villa's at Hotel LaMansion are located in a very picturesque part of the lake shoreline. Its a bit of a drive to get to either LaFortuna or Nuevo Arenal. The distance to LaFortuna is longer but the roads to both towns are well paved. They are just windy and can be very dark at night. Its not a problem to get around though. There's also a couple of mini markets and restaurants around so you dont necessarily have to go far. There's also a restaurant on the property. The views are breathtaking, we loved waking up each morning and seeing the lake through the floor to ceiling windows and spending time in the pool and on the porch just soaking in the sounds of all the creatures and the beauty of the lake. Sunsets were a favorite. Property: The property is located on the shore line a slight way up the hill overlooking the lake. The porch on the villa has good seating space as well as a fairly large pool. The veiws are just amazing. We enjoyed coffee on the porch every morning and a drink to watch the sunset every evening. The pool was a welcome relief to cool off and relax after long days of hiking and adventuring. The main part of the property has another larger pool which we used and a hot tub that we did not use. There's a resturant 'Le Bistro'. We had them deliver us food for room service for lunch one day and had breakfast there a few times. They have a pretty big menu and everything we ate was delicious. The property is well kept with plenty of parking and is very quiet. Amenities: The villa has a large living/kitchen space and an equally large master bedroom. The rooms are all well appointed and have everything you need. The bed is firm but comfortable. The bathroom is a good size and comfortable to use for two adults. The kitchen came equipped with a full size fridge, stove (we didnt use), microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, coffee and teas. They also provided soaps in the bathroom and kitchens, towels and paper towels as well. We

My wife and I stayed in August for five days and it went by too fast. Everything was incredible as soon as we arrived. The mansions themselves were beautiful. All the staff members were so warm and welcoming and answered any questions we had regarding activities. And Peggy, who managed our stay, was beyond accommodating and made sure we had a fantastic time, which we did. The views were gorgeous and the restaurant had great food which created a picturesque experience dining on the lake watching the sunset whilst sipping on happy hour margaritas. The location was an easy drive to La Fortuna or Arenal so we easily could experience all that Fortuna had to offer and then could slip back into our private jacuzzi by nightfall. We plan to come back to Costa Rica again, and there is no doubt we'll come back to La Mansion!

Just a wonderful place, authentic experience with the tastiest food at Le Bistro. We had a car which I recommend. It was easy to venture out to Nuevo Arenal and La Fortuna. The staff are just so friendly and helpful. The views are absolutely amazing. Wish the rooms were more brightly lit, but otherwise no big issues

Very nice view, cozy house and dear hostess.

Sehr schöne Aussicht, gemütliches Haus und liebe Gastgeberin.

Views were amazing, place itself was great! the staff was extremely nice and the food was great at the hotel restaurant. The only issue we had was the tub in the room wasn’t hot and the showers weren’t always hot. I would definitely recommend staying here though!

Peggy was incredible. She greeted us from the beginning with her son and other amazing staff. The place was so amazing in every way, casa 10 was clean and ready for the 6 of us to begin our adventures in Costa Rica. The views and sunsets were muy bonita, the home was so charming with a majestic feel. The other reviews are accurate, the pictures do not do it justice. You must experience first hand. Anything we needed, Peggy and her staff were there with no questions asked. The restaurant was delicious. Everyone in our group of 6 were all very pleased with our stay.

Great and awesome resort restaurant / staff

We loved to stay in Peggy's wonderful and spacious house wit the fantastic garden and lake view

Great views, good restaurant but far from La Fortuna

The Villa we stayed in was absolutely stunning and quite large!  The decor was magical and the porch was so comfy with Amazing views in 3 directions.  You overlook the lake and have beautiful sunsets!  We would rush home to make sure we did not miss them.  The Gardens on the property are gorgeous!! Tons of birds coming and going with unique bird songs.  We had our own pool which was nice, but definitely on the cool side.  You can hear Howler monkeys in the distance in the morning, but we never saw them.  We overlooked a gorgeous horse pasture.  We felt like royalty to be able to wake up in such beautiful surroundings, inside and out!  You do have to drive to La Fortuna to catch most tours, but you drive back to a wonderful retreat.  We made a few meals in and had a large fridge for our food and beverages.

A beautiful house in a beautiful environment.

Une très belle maison dans un environnement magnifique.

No 10 was the perfect base for us to explore the Arenal Lake and La Fortuna area for a week with a car. The views from the property were simply stunning and the garden was host to an abundant selection of birds, the toucans and the hummingbirds being the highlights for us. There was just the 2 of us in the property and I have to say although it sleeps 7 a full house would feel a little cramped. The villa is decorated and furnished in a vintage style and the kitchen area is small and quite dated. Enough room for 2 but cooking and preparing food for 7 could be challenging. No 10 sits in the grounds of a small hotel and is surrounded by other villas. Hot water was in short supply so be prepared for cool and refreshing showers. All in all a great stay in the area we wanted to be in!

The photos do not do justice to this truly beautiful setting and these accommodations. Although weather reports were mixed, we only experienced a few drops of rain over the whole week we were there in early February.  Temperatures were also hot enough to require dipping into the pool periodically to cool off. This AirBnB provided plenty of space for three couples in their sixties who enjoyed our week in the largest of La Mansion's villas near Nuevo Arenal.  The birds also loved this place, giving us our own private viewing every morning from the back deck of this wonderful villa. The largest of the bedrooms was truly massive.  Each of the three bedrooms had private bathrooms and showers. Whenever anything required fixing,  Peggy and her staff were there immediately to attend to our needs. The staff were universally friendly and helpful.  It is a 10 minute drive to Nuevo Arenal and about 45 minutes to La Fortuna along roads that do have a lot of twists and turns. These distances are typical for anyone visiting this area who wants to explore this area near Volcan Arenal.  We highly recommend this AirBnB to others interested in staying there.

Thank you for the great review ! And yes, I do have great people working with me ! And have been thinking about the BBQ! Warm regards and always welcome back! Peggy

It's even prettier than the pictures suggest! Perfectly clean and comfortable as well as "roomy" with interesting décor.  Peggy was a great help in booking local activities (of which there are MANY.)   It was only 30 to 40 minutes to all the "fun' stuff such as zip lines, tubing, hot springs, volcano hikes and much more.  Coming back to Peggy's in the evening felt like coming home. (Except much more relaxing and fun.) Not sure why the hot tub/pool need to close so early, though. (6pm?) We actually never got to use them because we were "out" during the day. A later evening hot tub would have been very much appreciated.    Would go back again for sure.

La Mansion Inn is a real paradise. We loved the tranquility, the view, the beautiful garden, the incredibly spacious and comfortable house and the hospitality of Peggy and her team. Highly recommend for those who want to explore the Arenal region and love peace.

La Mansion Inn is een echt paradijs. We hebben genoten van de rust, het uitzicht, de prachtige tuin, het ongelooflijk ruime en comfortabele huis en de gastvrijheid van Peggy en haar team. Een echte aanrader voor wie de Arenal regio wil verkennen en houdt van rust.

this place is amazing. a beautiful large villa overlooking lake arenal. very peaceful and at the time we were one of only a few units occupied, so it felt even more private. even had our own pool, though it was a little on the cool side, as the climate here is cooler than the coast. Beautiful sunsets too. it was hard to leave.

LeMansion was a wonderful place to stay.  Great service, loved the unit and the view and grounds were beautiful.  Would definitely stay again and hope to.

Best view ever and best stay of out several stays in Costa Rica.

echo prior reviews: this place is spectacular, and far more impressive in person than in photos. priceless views, total privacy, terrific onsite restaurant/bar, great local food steps away. very convenient location, easy to find and worth the extra driving. the amount of high quality art and design are jawdropping. i cannot wait to return!!!

great house! quiet. Beautiful view all day but especially at sunset where the whole lake is dyed in pink degraded. Beautifully decorated and very comfortable interior. Very pleasant pool. Lots of things to do nearby. We loved it all!

maison top! au calme.Vue magnifique toute la journée mais surtout au coucher du soleil où tout le lac se teint en dégradés de rose. intérieur joliment décoré et très confortable. piscine très agréable. De très nombreuses activités à proximité. Nous avons tout aimé!

Peggy's house offers a spectacular view of the garden, lake, and stunning sunsets!  Stay outside after dark & you'll see fireflies!  We were very comfortable in the home, bed/bathrooms were very clean, air conditioning kept us all cool, and restaurant was a nice option for breakfast before heading out for adventures.  You're 40 minutes from La Fortuna - so everything is quiet & peaceful.  We were there in the rainy season, but the roads were clear (while narrow) & easily drivable.  

We absolutely loved our stay at Peggy’s house! We could not have been more pleased with the home and the incredible property and the lovely staff. The view from the back patio literally took our breath away!

Thank you for your words ! So happy you enjoyed ! Warm regards, Peggy

We loved our stay here!  The view was absolutely amazing, and the decor was charming -- filled with local character and flavor.  The staff were all exceptionally friendly and helpful.  The kitchen was lightly provisioned for cooking, but we did not make any big meals.  There are several wonderful places to eat within a 10 minute drive, including the hotel restaurant.  We spent most of our time on the front patio, which looks out over the lake and is surrounded by singing birds and wildlife.  There is also a small, completely private pool in front of the cottage that our kids loved.  If you are looking to get away from it all, in a peaceful idyllic setting, this is it.

Thank you for your words and happy to hear you enjoyed your stay ! We will see what we can do about the furniture of the kitchen ! Warm regards, Peggy

We stayed in Cabina 10 of the Le Mansion Inn property, a three bedroom bungalow that was magical. And I mean *truly* magical -- looking at the cabina from the outside, there seems to be no way for it to be as huge and airy as it is inside. And the interior is lovely, with amusing frescoes on the walls, intricately carved double doors between the master suite and the common room, quirky antique lamps and furniture, and nicely appointed bathrooms. Cabina 10 has its own infinity pool, complete with a mosaic tile mermaid, on the veranda overlooking Lake Arenal. I'm not sure if other cabinas have this feature -- the owners have situated the cabinas for maximum privacy and I didn't want to go tramping around others' space. The grounds are nicely planted and groomed, and like the interior of the bungalow, full of whimsical decorations. The common infinity pool and hot tub overlook the lake and a pasture full of horses belonging to the nearby riding stables. We didn't eat at the hotel, but had great drinks and apps. The staff at the desk and the bar were wonderfully friendly and helpful in every way. Our party of seven (2 adult couples, 3 teenagers) had plenty of room in our bungalow and we were able to cook breakfasts and a couple of dinners pretty easily in the kitchen, which has a full size refrigerator and stove. If you plan on cooking, you may want to check out the utensil and pan inventory before you shop, just to be sure you have what you need. We were happy to be a little removed from the hustle of La Fortuna, which was an easy drive from Le Mansion. All in all, a fantastic stay in beautiful Arenal Lake.

Thank you for your wonderful review and happy to hear you loved the house ! Always welcome to back ! And it would be great if you write at TripAdvisor as well, you are a good writer ! Warm regards, Peggy

Our villa in Arenal and our stay with Peggy was incredible. The villa was perfect for our group, clean and the view was amazing. Very easy to get to. When we arrived Peggy welcomed us and answered all of our questions, and provided us with a book of excursions and things to do around the area, including restaurants banks, atms, etc The beds were comfortable. Everything worked well in the villa. The restaurant on the property was wonderful and they made us feel at home. Perfect place to stay we went to Rio Celeste, la fortunata, the hot springs at the springs resort and the hanging bridges and all were easily to get to from this location. Would definitely recommend

Thank you Jaclyn ! Happy to hear you really enjoyed your stay !

Peggy’s place is gorgeous! You feel like you have your own private estate. Pictures don’t do it justice, it is even prettier in person. On site restaurant is awesome, views are amazing. Thanks!

Place was fantastic. Pictures don’t do it justice. Lots of room and uniquely decorated. Views are amazing and on site restaurant is fantastic.

Peggy. My family and I just want to thank you and compliment you on an amazing experience there on Lake Arenal, Costa Rica.  You, Damien and your entire staff really made our time there beautiful.  We enjoyed the house on the lake so much.  The view was outstanding. We called it Gods county.  Thank you for helping us set up the horse back riding tour.  I would recommend your place to everyone who is looking to be pampered, enjoy the beauty, immerse yourself in the jungle, watch birds, hear howler monkeys, the list goes on and on.  Thanks again!

This place was outstanding. We stayed in Hacienda #10, with its own little pool, gorgeous little garden and views to the lake.  You could sit there for hours just watching the exotic birds flutter in and out of the trees. PEGGY and her staff ( especially Damien) were extraordinary. They set up tours and activities and provided excellent guidance for the area.

La Mansion is the perfect location to drink in mountains, lake and volcanic country vistas that just don't end and to be catered to by a staff that does all they can to ensure that you enjoy the cottages, the restaurant, and adventures in the surrounding area.  Located far enough away from La Fortuna to be away from all the bustle of crowds, yet close enough to enjoy all that Costa Rica offers.  An auto is helpful, but again, if you don't have one, the staff will help with any of your transportation needs.  When staying there be sure to dine at the associated restaurant, Le Bistro, or just sit at the sailboat bar and enjoy drinks and conversation with travelers from around the world.  We stayed here for an extended vacation and while there we enjoyed several tours that left right from the property; a boat tour around Lake Arenal and the best three hour horseback ride I have ever been on.  We are alrady planning our next trip to Costa Rica and we will be spending several days at La Mansion.

Wow! You couldn't ask for a better view or better accommodations than this place! It looks exactly how the photos look (maybe even a better view than the photos show). You go to sleep to the chorus of frogs, crickets and geckos and awake to the birds and howler monkeys. The private pool was about 5' deeps a bit deeper than our 3&5 year old were comfortable being in alone. There isn't a barrier around it when on the patio, so be mindful of your children if you bring them. Peggy and Damien and the whole staff at La Mansion are all amazing hosts. The on property restaurant was fantastic. There are also a couple of other local restaurants in walking distance for some typical Costa Rican options too. Enjoy your stay, you won't be disappointed!
