Woods: Wood cabin, Balgue, Ometepe Island

The room is very clean and feels cozy at night.The only issue is that the connection between the walls and the roof is not completely sealed, so there are quite a few small flying insects. However, if you don't open the doors and windows, it will be quite stuffy and hot.

房间很干净，夜晚感觉温馨。唯一的问题是墙壁与屋顶连接处没有完全密封，小飞虫比较多，但不开门窗的话会比较闷热。

Great place to stay on the island. Beautiful peaceful location.

The owner of the apartment was very available and attentive to all our problems, and there were quite a few. There was always a quick response, and every request we made was fulfilled perfectly. Thank you so much for letting us stay at the property! :))

הבעלים של הדירה היו מאוד זמינים וקשובים לכל הבעיות שלנו, והיו לא מעט. תמיד היה מענה מהיר וכל בקשה שביקשנו התבצעה בצורה מושלמת. תודה רבה שנתתם לנו לשהות בנכס! :))

We had a short stay but it went well. Beautiful cabin. Thank you for hosting us!

I enjoy staying here. The cabin is really beautiful, the mango tree, the people and the location were something I really liked. I just wished Someone picked up the phone when I called a few times.

We stayed at the cabins for a few nights. Location is close enough to town to walk and quiet. Kitchen was well equipped and the wifi worked extremely well. Communication with the affiliated Selvista Experience was quick and helpful. The restaurant at Selvista was delicious with reasonable prices (albeit portions on the smaller side).

We had a very nice stay at this great place. Everything you need is available, including a minibar. There is always someone available, and they provide assistance quickly. Ideal for a relaxing time on Ometepe.

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in dieser tollen Unterkunft. Alles was man braucht ist vorhanden, inklusive Minibar. Es ist immer jemand erreichbar und es wird schnell geholfen. Bestens für eine entspannte Zeit auf Ometepe.

Check in was a bit confusing but Franklin was very helpful and quick to respond. Close walk to beach and downtown. Very quiet and safe neighbourhood. Nice clean house with a great backyard area and pool to hang out in.  Thank you for your help and stay.

The big cabin (two bedrooms) is beautiful and very spacious. The small cabin is very tight for two adults, with almost no space next to the bed or luggage storage. It has a normal sized bathroom, but the shower only has cold water (warm only in the big cabin). The flush was unreliable at first. The small cabin had a mold smell from the start, and some of our belongings began molding after one week. The mattress was quite uncomfortable (beds in the other cabin are fine though) and there is no curtain. We enjoyed the location, garden, and porch. Communication with Megan was good, she always assisted fast. The cleaning staff came almost daily and were very friendly. We received free oil and coffee refills, plus a bottle of wine for a broken toaster. Unfortunately ceanliness was an issue from the start, two kitchen items were broken and there were no moskito nets in front of windows (just in one) or doors. All in all we expected a better maintained place and more comfort for the price.

Very clean little cabin, in a great location, we enjoyed our stay a lot:) thank you

A nice cabin near the highway, with plenty of space, very clean and nice surroundings.

Una bonita cabaña cerca de la carretera, con bastante espacio, muy limpia y bonitos alrededores.

We had a really pleasant time at the wood cabin, tucked among mango trees that provided an endless supply of sweet fruit—definitely a highlight of our stay. It’s conveniently located close to many tourist attractions and right off the main road, so no need to brave any rough terrain. At night, it’s a bit hard to spot, so keep that in mind if you’re arriving late.

The house is very good service and the house is very comfortable

Es muy buena la atención y muy cómoda la casa

2 small friendly and well-equipped cottages. A little close to the road but that doesn't stop you from sleeping well.

2 petits chalets sympathiques et bien équipés. Un peu proche de la route mais cela n'empêche pas de bien dormir.

Wish we could provide good feedback about this place but long story short, we appreciate the host's flexibility.

I stayed for 5 nights and was quite happy!  This place is a sweet little house with a kitchen that actually has nice cookware!  It has two porches - one with a hammock and the other a great spot to have a meal or do paperwork. There is only one neighbor and they are a little ways away - their mellow chickens and cat will come to visit the yard. The road is quiet.  The house can get hot during the day but there are strong fans to help circulate the air.  The cat is sweet but don’t let it in if you have any form of avocado on the counter - it jumped up and started eating a whole one!

We expected and enjoyed this rustic wood cabin.  The breezes when windows and doors open were refreshing.  The information booklet is a must read, it really helps orient you to the surroundings.  We really enjoyed the Permaculture tour with Megan, it gave us such a better understanding of this environment.  Highly recommended!

The island and location of this property is great. The cabin was not really what we expected. It was unnecessarily hard to find and it’s not that hard to find given better instructions. The instructions led to their main property but that’s not where the cabin is. The cabin is actually on the other side of the hwy from the farm about 250 metres past the Bulgue town sign. Super easy if said like that. Cabin was very heavy with mosquitoes so much that they provide netting to sleep under. Sitting outside was not enjoyable with the bugs and spending anytime in the cabin was unbearable with the heat. By evening it cooled down enough to sleep and fans are provided. Cold shower. Lights were temperamental. The kitchen looks well stocked but we couldn’t think about cooking in the heat. Cold drinks to purchase in the fridge. We don’t mind roughing it on occasion but for the money we spent, we expected something different. Staff are friendly. Cleaning service is great.

Great Location, walking distance into balgue town and still pretty quiet! We stayed a couple nights and would definitely recommend it! Bring some mosquito spray though :)

It was not so easy to find but the cabaña was beautiful, quiet location, top equipped kitchen, great living room to relax, even with yoga mat. Rooms and rooms are cleaned daily. It is a few minutes' walk to the village, where you will find everything you need to cook, for example. Would recommend to anyone right away! Thank you for everything!

Es war nicht so leicht zu finden, aber die Cabaña war wunderschön, ruhige Lage, top ausgestattete Küche, tolles Wohnzimmer zum Entspannen, sogar mit Yoga matte. Die Zimmer und Räume werden täglich gereinigt. Ins Dorf sind es ein paar Minuten zu Fuß, dort findet man alles was man zum zB kochen braucht. Ich würde es sofort jedem weiter empfehlen! Vielen Dank für alles!

good place good location,a little tricky the address confuses and the place is centrally located

bueno el lugar buena ubicación,un poco complicada la dirección confunde y el lugar está céntrico

Nice clean little cabin with all your basic needs, a simple but well-equipped kitchen, and a separate guest cabin which was great for friends that visited. Nice quiet end of town, walking distance to Finca Magdalena, shops and  eateries.  Porch to hang out on and listen to birds and howler monkeys. It was really nice to be able to pick fresh greens from the gardens, and check out the daily basket of fruits, roots, bananas, and other jungle goodies. Hope to come back again soon!

By far the most accommodating hosts - Megan helped us with directions, laundry, scooter rentals, and even had a nurse visit us after we took a fall. Communication was immediate and excellent. I loved the location- it is completely isolated from the larger complex - has fruit trees, plenty of wildlife to check out and a wonderful hammock. The beds are comfortable, the shower has hot water and the kitchen has everything you need to prepare all your meals. The daily cleaning is great- helps to keep all the jungle bugs at bay. The walk into “town” is about 15 minutes- easy to find fruits/veggies, a few restaurants and a pharmacy. It rained for many days and we simply enjoyed our space. We didn’t use the third bedroom (in a small separate cabin), but would be great for a larger family. We extended our stay so we could enjoy a few sunny days as well. Great place, magical island, lovely hosts.

Perfect cabin for a 3 days, the beds are very comfortable and there are plenty of activities to do in the area,  I really loved my stay!! Thank you

Cabine parfaite pour un 3 jours, les lits sont très confortables et il y a beaucoup d’activités à faire dans les environs,  j’ai vraiment adoré mon séjour!! Merci

Wouldn’t recommend staying here unless you’re very comfortable with bugs and critters being a constant presence. The host organised a taxi for us which was double the price of what we paid to return to the port. The property is a part of a larger hotel type complex which is very expensive and we got dropped off there by the taxi driver which then meant we had to walk an extra 10 minutes to our cabin. The property itself is nice but extortionate for the island. The complex also offer scooters and tours which are considerably more expensive than what you could source yourself. The hosts communicated well and were keen to help in any way. The beds were also very comfortable and the property had all the amenities you could ask for, but ultimately it wasn’t great value for money

It was very clean and Christopher and Megan very extremely responsive to text.

We had a great time! Thank you very much!

Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit! Vielen lieben Dank!

Directions were a little bit confusing but once we found the place it was wonderful. Basic luxury in the beautiful town of balgue. Cabins were cleaned daily and are extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend. Great recommendation on a coffee tour which is also highly recommend. Thank you

Beautiful and peaceful cabin to stay in! We thought it was a wonderful surprise that the third bedroom was in a separate space outside the main cabin with its own bathroom for people in our group who wanted some more privacy. We had everything we needed and the kitchen was well equipped. Megan was very responsive to all of our questions the entire time and made reservations for us.

We had a really lovely time on the island and the place worked out well. While it was a quiet location, there were also some eateries and spots for a few drinks within walkable distances.... including Cafe Campestre with amazing food! The host was super communicative, had support services for everything we needed as well as service providers that were super friendly and accommodating. Easy check-in and overall a smooth and enjoyable experience. Thanks!

Good spot. Very nice accommodations. Communication was superb. Few tips.. make sure you wear a helmet if u rent anything motorized. Cops will try and shake you down for money. And check insurance. Make sure it is current.

The cottage is perfectly located, close to several good restaurants (mainly go to campestre, our new favorite restaurant) but you can also have breakfast at selvista guesthouse itself. Also, there are several scooter / motorbike rental companies within walking distance which will make your stay a lot easier. The cottage is very cozy with 2 bedrooms and another separate cottage with its own bathroom, the kitchen and bathroom could have been a little cleaner but are extensively equipped with everything you need. In short, very much enjoyed our stay and a good value for the money!

Het huisje is perfect gelegen, in de buurt van verschillende goede restaurants (ga vooral naar campestre, ons nieuwe favoriete restaurant) maar je kunt ook ontbijten bij selvista guesthouse zelf. Ook zijn er meerdere scooter / motor verhuur bedrijven op loop afstand wat je verblijf een stuk makkelijker maakt. Het huisje is heel knus met 2 slaapkamers en nog een apart huisje met eigen badkamer, de keuken en badkamer hadden wat schoner gekund maar zijn wel uitgebreid uitgerust met van alles dat je nodig hebt. Kortom erg genoten van ons verblijf en een goede prijs / kwaliteit verhouding!

Super cozy cabin near the lake. Fully stocked kitchen for cooking your own meals. Good Wi-Fi. Comfy beds. Warm showers which are not easily found in Nicaragua. Lovely hosts! Would definitely recommend!

The house is very comfortable, it is very well equipped and very close to the beach, we had a very nice time

La casa es muy cómoda esta muy bien equipada y muy cerca de la playa, pasamos unos días muy agradables

Excellent stay. Clean and great location. Highly recommended host. We will be back!

Staying here was amazing. It was close enough to walk to great restaurants and other things but still incredibly peaceful. We really loved the view from the porch.

Really nice place to chill out and watch wildlife! The gardens are amazing too. Thank you guys!

WOW, we've stayed on Ometepe many times prior to this visit, but it was our first time in an Ometepe Airbnb: what a wonderful "first"! As per its name, Casa Concepcion has a gorgeous view of Volcano Concepcion and sits on the slopes of Volcano Maderas. Just 100m up the road is a famous "finca"/farm where you can see lots of pre-Colombian petroglyphs and take a tour of the farm itself (for you coffee-lovers). As detailed in the description, the house really does meet all of your needs if you're cooking: lovely plateware, plenty of pots & pans, blender, full-size fridge, etc. If not,  there are plenty of good restaurants within walking distance (i.e. down the hill to the main road). There are fans throughout the house, all the windows are screened to keep mosquitoes out, and there's lovely artwork on the walls. Towels were plush and plentiful for when we went to Ojo de Agua and the house was clean and orderly. We enjoyed watching howler monkeys from the porch and listening to them. Parrots (along with lots of other types of birds) flew overhead each day. Great house for a week-long stay to enjoy the peace and quiet of the island!

We spent the first couple of days of our week at Casa Concepcion mesmerized by the view from the front porch and the sounds of howler monkeys in the distance. The garden is populated by exquisite butterflies and equally beautiful plants. I have travelled extensively and live in a remarkably beautiful village, but nothing has ever captivated my heart like the ever-changing manifestation of Concepcion Volcano across the lake, framed by beautiful vegetation and magnificent coconut trees. Make sure to open the door of the smaller bedroom for another perspective of the view! The house is very comfortable. Great water pressure in the shower - important for multiple cold showers during the hot, dry season. The kitchen is well equipped. Wifi works well. Beds are comfortable. Megan certainly goes the extra mile. She was an exceptionally gracious and attentive host, from our initial interaction and throughout our stay. The house is a steep-ish climb up from the village, though this was probably accentuated by the April heat. Recommend going for provisions early in the day if you are on foot. Ometepe is a magical place. We had a delightful time exploring, and loved returning home from a hot, dusty day to the sanctity and comfort of Casa Concepcion. Thanks to host Megan and housekeepers Martha and Ana for making our visit so pleasant and memorable.

The house was clean and well set up with everything. One bedroom was huge, the other was medium sized. Well stocked kitchen. Extra little touches were nice. We rented a taxi for the day while we were there. Getting scooters up the long driveway may be problematic. Host was organized and responsive.

Our stay at Casa Conception was exceptional. Everything was kept extremely clean and the house is very comfortable and spacious. It's conveniently located down the road from many restaurants and the town of Balgue. Communication with the hosts was very quick and efficient. I would gladly stay again and definitely recommend it.

If you're looking for peace and quiet and beautiful surroundings, this is the place. It is spacious and clean and the view is phenomenal. We enjoyed our stay here. There were some glitches, like the water supply being cut off for the evening until the next morning, but the hosts responded to our inquiries immediately and someone was sent to try to figure out the problem. Unfortunately, it was dark and things couldn't be dealt with until the morning. These things happen and we understand that - the important thing was that it was dealt with asap. Thanks for a lovely stay!

What we loved about the location is that we were immersed in the Nicaragua culture Jack Terry and Debbie

If you would like to feel that you are really in Nicaragua living the simple life in the midst of natural surrounding this is the place to be. Sitting on that front porch is delightful and Christopher showed us all the planting he has done around the place. You hear lots of birds and some howler monkeys but otherwise —— quiet. The place is clean and neat. Every thing we needed. Cold water only. A huge bonus is that a very short walk takes you up to a hostel/restaurant which is a friendly and a delicious place for simple meals. We went for dinner after check-in and for breakfasts. If you come by car that last road is very bumpy and a caution would be to not take the final turn up the little lane to the house. Park at the bottom and hike up— it’s not far. ( We got hung up on a rock and messed up our tailpipe.) On Omtempe we enjoyed Oja de Agua twice after hot days of hiking. In town Cafe Comdor Isabel is home cooking over a wood fire ( so cheaply priced that we couldn’t stand it and paid her more). We would stay here again and will recommend it to friends.

This is the place to commune with nature.  The howler monkeys (not menacing, just there) wake you up.  The quiet, the views, the peace.  It is a hike to get to Casa Concepcion,  only 1 km, about 15 minutes from town, but so worth it.   When I go back to Ometepe, I will stay here.

House is nestled in a small garden/farm (pick your own starfruit right off the tree!) with great jungle nearby -- flowers, butterflies, birds, beauty. Right by the trailhead of one volcano, and with a lovely view of the other volcano. Well-equipped kitchen, with a basket of fruit to welcome us there.  Other nice little details included a good blender for smoothies, cooking oil and a few spices already available in the kitchen, and a mosquito net set up for the kids' bed.  Spacious. Bring earplugs for the early-morning roosters down the hill, tell the kids that the enormous spiders are completely harmless, and rent a 4X4 to get around Ometepe (and up the hill to this house) more easily.  We enjoyed a visit to Christopher's other AirBnB location, where we saw a bit of his permaculture work, sampled some local fruits and veggies, met the dogs, and got advice about excursions, restaurants, wildlife, how to spot monkeys, and other things worth seeing/doing/tasting.

Cute house surrounded by nature. The location is secluded and beautiful. Herb garden and various edibles right next to the house. A nice walk to shops/restaurants (~1km). Really close to nature walks near and up volcano madera. Great communication. Could be better maintained/cleaned for the price.

We enjoyed our time at Casa Concepcion. It is a bit of a trek from Balgue (10min downhill / 15 minute uphill) so it is best suited to those looking for something a bit more secluded. Megan was a very helpful host with great communication throughout our stay.

Casa Concepcion is one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful place on Ometepe. Highly recommended and I hope to stay there again.

Great location. Access using a 4x4 only. The house would need to be refreshed.

Très bien situé. Accès à l'aide d'un 4x4 uniquement. La maison aurait besoin d'être rafraichie.

Such an amazing, beautiful, tranquil escape in the jungle of Ometepe. Great view of the volcano, quiet, wildlife sightings, and a nice space inside the home to relax in. We loved it!

We really loved our stay at the casa.  The house is very beautiful and immaculate and the setting is exactly what we wanted out of our trip to ometepe

Such a lovely and cute home nestled nicely in the jungle. Very spacious with comfortable beds and linen. Lots of great items in the house such as a blender, music speakers, body wash and conditioner. Self check in was very convenient. Megan had a team of people who were incredibly friendly and helpful. They were able to refer us to a delicious restaurant for dinner, set up a guided volcano hike is for the next day, set up transportation to the ferry as well as on the other side in Rivas. Highly recommend, especially for groups!

Wonderful views, great hospitality! We had a great time.

A lovely house with lovely surroundings including beautiful butterflies. Cute notes around the house was a funny twist. We enjoyed our stay very much!

We had a great experience at Casa Concepcion! The place was very clean, with a personal touch for a comfortable stay. A great option if you’re looking for somewhere serene, relaxing and surrounded by nature.

The house was super comfortable and had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Incredible views from the porch. The kitchen was stocked with coffee, tea, spices and oils for cooking, and all the cooking equipment we needed. Insider tip: pick up groceries / provisions on your way to the house, as it’s about at 15 min walk from the main road.

The house is beautifully decorated and stocked with all the creature comforts you can imagine. Megan was a great host and made sure all of our needs were cared for and all our questions were answered. Casa Concepcion is a great peaceful getaway on Ometepe island. Every day we woke up to beautiful views of the volcano, howling monkeys, and the occasional chicken roaming the yard. The house offers a perfect opportunity to experience rural Nicaraguan life with a modern twist.

Casa Concepcion was AMAZING. The location was perfect for anything to do on the island, with time or proper transport in mind. Megan was a PERFECT host and responded within minutes to any question or concern. The 15 min walk from Balgue to the Casa was much like the rest of Ometepe. Rugged, beautiful and rewarding. Headlamps/ flashlights are a must, as well as proper walking attire as it gets dark quite early. We were there for only a short period, but it was perfect for our needs. The location is quite remote with nothing but nature surrounding you on all sides. The rooms and spaces are nice, clean and modern, as well lit. The front porch was perfect for evenings watching the perfect view of Concepcion, or relaxing in the hammock. Also we were not able to enjoy the fire pit, but it would have been great to have had time. There was a run in with some wildlife quietly visiting the Casa one day on our return (a small not poisonous snake and scorpion, but the host was fantastic and very quickly came to ensure the space was safe and clear of all uninvited visitors. We would definitely stay again. Thanks for everything Megan! Not to miss: San Ramon Waterfall Hike, Coffee Tour (Roberto is a GEM!!), Chocolate Beach (El Pital), Cafe Campstre for food & Jose Luiz for all your travel needs (ATV was AMAZING, Dirt Bike looked good, Scooter is not recommended for anything off the main strip).

Very nice house! All the facilities you need. Beautiful view, nice garden, ...

Casa Conception is a dream! We loved every minute we spent here.. the location and views are amazing. Chris and Megan are amazing and gave us all the information we needed. The island itself is magic, once we got to Matagalpa, Megan organised us transport directly to the property. The look out to the volcano from the house is so impressive, sunset is incredible. The property has been fully renovated so everything is brand new and tastefully done, gorgeous art and textiles, bright kitchen and porch that leads out to a stunning garden, giant hammock and expansive land around the house. Theres a fully equip kitchen so we cooked up some typical Nica food! Our group had such a good time here, its just a short walk away to the entrance for the volcano hike which we did, which was tough but SO worth it. Then we got to come back and chill out in paradise! Thank you so much!!!!!

My time at Casa Conception was amazing! From the beginning Megan’s communication was clear and she was very flexible and accommodating to my date changes. She gave great and honest advice about what to do on the island which was well appreciated. Being on the base of Maderas Volcano and Magdelena's Coffee Co-op, Casa Conception is the perfect spot if you are interested in doing a coffee tour, petroglyph walk or hike. They are also very close to great restaurants and bike and car rental services. The property itself was beautiful and just as described on the website. The fridge was stocked with fresh produce and we were able to harvest from the gardens as well which was such a great experience! They also had an amazing chill area with a fire pit and lots of seating which was perfect for having people over. Thanks Megan for a great time!!!

I stayed at Christopher's place with my girlfriend and another couple and had a fantastic time. The house and rooms were perfect for the four of us. the house is super close to the main road which had a lot of local restaurants and local people all around. we were able to go on adventures during the day and then come home and relax in the evenings. thanks Christopher

The peace and tranquility of Casa Concepcion is incomparable to any other space I've found in Central America. With it's huge yard full of organic fruit trees, coconut trees and edible herbs, to it's large and comfortable rooms, the place has all one could hope to suit a group adventure or an individual escape. The continual landscaping ensures that the already gorgeous surroundings are becoming sweeter by the day, and the team of locals making it all happen are the most approachable and cool guys you could hope to meet. They'll help you sharpen up your Spanish, and one even offered to share his lunch when I didn't prepare any for myself! It's only a little walk to some absolutely delicious and cheap cafes and restaurants, and many will even deliver to your door if you're finding it too hard (and you will) to leave the magical vibe of this property. It's truly a unique experience to watch from your front porch as friendly local farmers pass nearby on horseback with their organic coffee plants and harvests from the plantations on the lower hills of Volcan Maderas. With Volcan Concepcion also in view, it's difficult to even convince your eyes that the beauty of this place is real. Bus stops are also easily accessible and all the tips you might need for how to make the most of your Ometepe trip are provided in a handy booklet. To feel so comfortable, with the luxuries of home, in the jungle of this peaceful-yet-lively village is an opportunity never to be missed! I'm already Looking forward to returning in future and seeing how perfection has been perfected even more :) Thank you sooo much for having me!!
