Nice Place

The home was clean and well stocked with basic necessities which was appreciated. The owner was easy to get in touch with. The beds were comfortable with lots of pillows and blankets. The only things I didnt like were the showers didnt get warm at all and there were a lot of tiny ants in the kitchen, making it hard to prepare food. Other than that, we had a very nice time. The backyard is beautiful with the river and lots of plants.

Merveilleux!!

Très bel endroit avec grande cours arrière privée et ruisseau. Espace extérieur super agréable. Nous y avons vu plusieurs oiseaux et même un petit paresseux qui se nourrissait dans un arbre derrière la maison! Intérieur très confortable, tout y était pour notre confort! Pamela nous a reçu à notre arrivée et était disponible pour toutes questions dans la maison voisine, La maison est tout près du centre de La Fortuna et nous avions une petite épicerie ainsi qu’un excellent resto (soda pour les Costaricains) à quelques pas de chez nous. Je recommande fortement cet endroit!! J’ai tout simple,est adoré.,Merci Dinora et Pamela pour cet excellent séjours

Staying at Dinorah's property was an overall good experience and I can recommend it to others. House is very clean and convenient. Backyard is a jewel. Dinorah is a great host, responding quickly via WhatsUp and helping you with advises around local places, if you have any issues within the house and even help us to dry our closes and towels. The only inconvenience we had was a noise from the road from the big trucks breaking with their engines every late evenings and nights, or powerful motorcycles, because there is a speed bump nearby. And the shower can be improved. It was barely warm. Otherwise everything else was very good.

Perfect jungle home

This was a beautiful house to start our vacation off at. The host was always available if we had any questions or concerns. Very roomy and very clean. We even saw a monkey in the tree and some frogs in the creek below the house. Started off every morning out back on the patio with the perfect view.

Stay in La Fortuna Area

We loved the property. The river behind was a nice addition to the house. We enjoyed hopping around on the rocks and seeing wildlife. My daughter is a biology major so she loved hunting for frogs and lizards in the yard. The house was nice and clean. The only thing that I would want to improve is the hot water situation. It would only get a little warm.

It's not located in La Fortuna downtown area so expect to drive a bit to local sites. There's a grocery store a few homes down which was very convenient. The home was comfortable and met our needs. Would have loved warm water for the shower but it was hot out so the cool water was ok. A/C worked very well. Felt very safe and the hosts being nearby was reassuring. We had no issues come up during our stay. The backyard is beautiful and we enjoyed breakfast in the green setting. The small river behind the house was the highlight of the whole property. We spent our last morning in what felt like a private waterfall pool. Truly lovely!

We loved this property! It is so peaceful & serene w a friendly visiting cat. It was the perfect place to stay for all adventures in La Fortuna area. We loved that it was right outside of town so we weren’t in the hustle & bustle of everything but we were near everything that it was a short drive away. The backyard is so perfect & you can walk down to the creek behind. We are outside every am & I rocked myself into a couple naps in the hammock. Would definitely stay here again!

Lovely home in La Fortuna

Our two families stayed here while visiting the area, and found this to be the perfect place for us! The location was great---quiet neighborhood, but walking distance to a small supermarket. lovely outdoor space. Basic kitchen had everything we needed. Owner was very responsive and helpful if we had any questions. One tip: I would map it to Restaurante Abigail and use waze app when trying to find it. the house is just down the road from the restaurant, which is next to the Super el abuelo (sometimes hard to find on map app).

Fabulous outdoor space

Absolutely fabulous property - we so enjoyed the outdoor patio, charcoal bbq, calming sounds of the running river and the hammock. Check in was simple - we received a message that indicated we could check in early. Kitchen had everything we needed. We did wish the water would have been hotter for showers and dishes. We would highly recommend this home in a great location and a fabulous front yard and backyard living space.

This place was excellent place for our family of 4. There was a really comfortable outdoor space and a path that lead to the river. We enjoyed so much of our family time at the backyard playing board game and listening to the river/birds. Highly recommend this place and will definitely visit again in the future when we visit La Fortuna.

This was our second time staying here. It is a beautiful little home. The home is super clean and a perfect location for those wanting to get some rest but only be a few minutes from the happenings of La Fortuna. The host is wonderful.
