Our stay was wonderful—it truly felt like a home away from home. The space was warm, inviting, and exceptionally well maintained. It was thoughtfully designed to accommodate guests of all ages, making everyone feel comfortable. The nearby river provided a peaceful setting, and the farm animals added a unique charm that made the experience even more special. A delightful bonus was receiving fresh eggs every morning, which made our breakfasts feel extra special and added to the authentic farm experience. Above all, the host was incredibly friendly, responsive, and genuinely cared about making our stay enjoyable. Their hospitality made a lasting impression. Overall, this was a memorable vacation, and we would gladly stay here again. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, welcoming getaway.

This place was exactly what we needed. We have six children and they loved all the animals (except the early morning wake up by the rooster 😂) , the river, the grass field to play soccer, and the fooseball table. The fresh eggs every morning were wonderful. Very safe, very peaceful very private. Close to las Paz waterfall gardens, the volcano, and reasonable distance to bajos del toro.

Great place to stay near various tourist attractions in Poas. The grounds and surrounding area were beautiful and peaceful. The house has big screened windows that allowed us to enjoy the lovely breezes that came by and kept the house at a comfortable temperature. The beds were clean and overall pretty comfortable. Keep in mind there is only one bathroom, but with coordination you can make do. Our hosts were communicative and friendly, and they provided us with a few lovely treats (including fresh eggs). The only unexpected con we experienced was weather related. One night of our stay had incredibly strong winds that rattled the windows and made a lot of noise. As such, we had a really hard time sleeping in the upstairs area that night. We understand that weather cannot be controlled, but still think it's important to mention in case any light sleepers are considering this stay and may need to bring some ear plugs. I would definitely recommend this stay to anyone visiting Poas.

We enjoyed our stay! Very clean, nice beds and everything we needed. We enjoyed seeing the plants on the property and exploring the path to the water in the back. Our daughter enjoyed chatting with the man who cares for the farm. On the last day he left us a little eucalyptus bouquet- so sweet!

Mi familia y yo nos quedamos aquí por 5 días. Fue un lugar hermoso lleno de árboles frutales y muchas plantas hermosas. El señor encargado de la quinta es de lo más bella persona, se me olvidó el nombre de el. Todas las mañanas nos trajo huevos frescos, y la primer mañana nos dejó entrar a la granja y explorar. Atrás de la casa queda un río con una catarata hermosa , vale la pena visitarla. Este lugar lo recomendamos 10/10

Tuvimos la oportunidad de hospedarnos este fin de semana y fue una experiencia maravillosa. Es una casa hermosa, rodeada de naturaleza, ideal para desconectarse y descansar. Los anfitriones estuvieron siempre atentos y pendientes de cada detalle. Cada mañana nos sorprendían con una canasta de huevitos, un detalle encantador que hizo la estancia aún más especial. La casa estaba impecable: limpia y muy bien ordenada. Respirar el aire de la montaña realmente te renueva. Sin duda, es un lugar perfecto para pasar unos días de descanso. Además, es fácil de llegar y se siente muy seguro. ¡Totalmente recomendado!

Irma is an incredible host, and the property is absolutely amazing! It has everything you need for a perfect stay from the refreshing mountain breeze to the peaceful sound of the river at the edge of the property. The fresh eggs every morning were such a special touch. My daughters had an amazing time with the bunnies and hens. Highly recommend!

Irma's place is wonderful! My kids loved meeting the bunnies and eating the fresh eggs and we had plenty of space to spread out as a family of 6. We felt very secure and the welcome instructions showed us exactly how to open each lock box or keypad. The house doesn't have air conditioning which we somehow missed in the description and we were worried it would be hot but we felt great the whole time! Just closed the curtains during the day and cracked the windows at night to let in the mountain breeze. Irma is responsive and gave great restaurant recommendations. I would absolutely stay here again.
