The place is very nice, with an incredible view, although I didn't know there were 2 cabins. The one downstairs has several details. For example, the area downstairs is easily accessible. The one we had was very difficult to get down to, and there's no staircase, which makes it difficult to get around. There's also very little flat space. Be careful because there's not enough lighting, as the solar lamps no longer worked. To park the car, it's on the side of the street. The other one is safer. At night, due to the wind, many branches fall on the roof, and it was a bit difficult to sleep because of the noise. But in the one downstairs, there are no trees nearby, so there wouldn't be a problem. I do highly recommend going with a high car or 4x4, because the street is very difficult. Don Guillermo was very attentive and communicated well. I highly recommend him. The views are spectacular. It's well worth it!!

Staying in Walter's cabin was a great experience for my family. The area and location are very unique and beautiful; there were flowering plants and incredible views of the valley and mountains. The outside firepit was a great place to warm up and watch the sunset. Our on-site hosts Deyanira and Guillermo were very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. Giermo even took us for a tour of his farm, which was very interesting and informative. Awesome people. We had a great time at Walters Cabin but be aware that the cabin only has one bed and a small futon-type sofa bed. This cabin is really perfect for a couple. There really wasn't enough sleeping space for people but thankfully Deyanira and Guillermo gave us a blow-up mattress, which solved the issue. One other thing to consider is the temperature. It gets cold here, so be prepared with jackets and warm clothes. The best part of our time here was enjoying the spectacular sunset outside by the firepit. Great experience.

The cabin was peaceful and had a beautiful view. The jacuzzi and fireplace were both very welcome as the area is cold at night. I would recommend 4x4 and decent ground clearence to reach the cabin. The kitchen has a mini fridge and a simple cooktop with pans and utensils in case you plan to cook. The bed was comfortable and there is also an air mattress and a futon. Overall, it was a nice stay and Wallo made it very straightforward.
