The Space

This charming little cabin is nestled in the lush, wild nature of Ometepe Island, on a family-run organic homestead. It offers peaceful views of Concepción Volcano and sunsets over the lake.

Enjoy a private, quiet space with:

• A comfortable king-size bed
• A private outdoor shower with hot water and beautiful views
• Private compost toilets
• Access to a farm kitchen and living area
• Expansive views and peaceful surroundings

The cabin is equipped with:

• A firm king-size bed with cotton sheets, pillows, and a mosquito net

• A private outdoor shower with hot water and sunset views
• Private compost toilets

The farm kitchen and living area include:

• A stove

• A refrigerator
• A freezer
• Filtered water from a volcanic spring

A hammock is available in the kitchen area and can be moved elsewhere on the property if desired. Farm employees may be in the kitchen area between 9:00 a.m. and noon, but they will respect your privacy and will not approach the cabin.

Please purchase groceries for your meals before arriving. The town is a 15-minute drive or a 45-minute walk from the cabin.

Organic farm products are also available for purchase, including:

• Homemade yogurt
• Ghee
• Honey
• Cacao
• Chocolate
• Seasonal greens and herbs

You are welcome to explore the 22-acre property, including the permaculture garden. Relax in the hammock beneath a mango tree or enjoy beautiful hikes accessible directly from the farm. We can also connect you with a trusted local guide.

The farm is spacious and private, with no direct neighbors. We will be present during your stay in our own house to provide assistance and answer questions.

Nature and Farm Life

Ometepe is surrounded by lush, wild nature. You should be comfortable sharing the environment with birds, monkeys, insects, and farm animals, including cats, dogs, and chickens.

The farm kitchen is open to the outdoors, and the cabin has openings for airflow. Although the cabin includes a high-quality mosquito net for sleeping, insects may occasionally be present in the cabin or kitchen. You may also hear monkeys, cows, horses, dogs, cats, or birds at night. These animals are not dangerous, but please book only if you are comfortable with this type of natural, off-grid setting.

Guests who enjoy this lifestyle love staying here. We are passionate about natural living and growing our own food.

Guest Access

You will have access to the farm kitchen and living area, as well as the surrounding property and permaculture garden.

We can arrange a trusted four-wheel-drive taxi from the ferry to the farm. Please contact us in advance if you would like to use this service.

The property is located on a dirt road accessible from the main paved road between Santa Cruz and Mérida. You can reach the farm by four-wheel-drive vehicle or motorcycle.

Arrival and Directions

Please do not use Google Maps to find the property. The farm is not listed there, and following the map may lead you astray. Follow these directions instead.

1. On the road between Santa Cruz and Mérida, look for a large, painted yellow rock shaped like a wedge of cheese on the left.
2. At the yellow rock, turn onto the stone-paved road, which becomes a dirt road.
3. Follow the road as it curves and continues uphill.
4. From the yellow rock, continue approximately 1.3 kilometers uphill, passing several houses.
5. At the end of the road, take the sharp left onto a steep, stone-paved road leading up the hill.
6. At the top of the stone-paved hill, the cabin is on the left.
7. Farther into the property, you will find a brick building beside a greenhouse. This is the farm kitchen.
8. If you reach the large white wooden house, you have gone too far.

The dirt road can become muddy during the rainy season, from June through December. A city car is not recommended, particularly during this period.

Important Arrival Information

Please avoid arriving after nightfall. Ometepe is largely off-grid, the dirt road is unlit, and the cabin is much easier to locate during daylight.

The cabin has no electricity, although candles are provided. The farm kitchen does have electricity. Please bring a flashlight or headlamp rather than relying only on your phone light.

If you arrive late and we are awake, we will help you. However, if we are not available—or if we are asleep—it may be difficult to find the cabin in the dark.

A four-wheel-drive vehicle or motorcycle is recommended so you can travel independently around the island. Alternatively, please bring everything you need with you. We are also happy to explain the walking route into town.

Additional Notes

• Candles are provided, but please bring a flashlight.
• Do not arrive at night unless you are confident navigating through wild nature without city lights.
• Please do not book if you are uncomfortable sharing the farm, and occasionally your surroundings, with insects.
• A high-quality mosquito net protects you while sleeping.
• The farm is a natural, off-grid environment, so occasional spiders or wasps may be present.
• Please book only if you are comfortable with the sounds and presence of wildlife and farm animals.
