Amazing place, great apartment and nice staff. The view is amazing and if you are lucky the stars are amazing in a clear night.

“Stunning views and cleanliness”
We stayed in this cabin for one night. It’s located on a large property with other cabins nearby. The entire area is surrounded by stunning mountains, fruit trees, a river, and waterfalls that can be reached with a short hike. We were very pleasantly surprised by the impeccable cleanliness of the cabin, which is often not the case in places like this. The fresh, fragrant towels and bed linen were an added bonus. Unfortunately, we didn’t see a quetzal, despite getting up at 5:00 AM, but we happened to arrive during a cold front, which likely discouraged the birds. One night is probably not long enough to have a good chance of spotting one anyway. The owner is very warm and welcoming, and she has a lovely little dachshund.

“It was an unforgettable experience. Plus being English we were able to make our own Quaker Oats with the gas cooker 😄”
The position of the cabin is exceptional. It’s back to nature. Good bird viewings including the Quetzal.

“This was our favourite place that we stayed in Costa Rica.”
Our host Amanda was excellent. She was very generous with her time offering to take us to see quetzales on the property. She explained the bird’s behaviours and the most likely time to see them. Amanda was able to spot quetzales that we would not have seen on our own We loved the location. We could watch hummingbirds from our window. The setting was quiet and peaceful among nature

This was a lovely, peaceful place to stay in the beautiful valley of the quetzals. Well equipped small private cabin near to a river and waterfall. Our hosts were very welcoming and helpful. There was a bird perch outside the kitchen window so we could sit and watch the birds come. It is a bit cold at night but plenty of blankets.

“It's All About The Quetzal.”
Ideally placed for spotting the Quetzal, this is a no frills, value for money, option that will suit the budget conscience birder. With Marlen's restaurant only 5 minutes walk away there is also no need to cook for yourself, although the option is available, providing you shop before descending 7 km down the challenging road into the valley bottom.

“Wonderful, peaceful location with fantastic bird life”
Wonderful, peaceful location right by the river, and with a nice walking trail. The cabin had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. Antony even met us at 6am to show us a quetzal on the farm, and we also saw a quetzal and lots of hummingbirds from the kitchen window.

“Very nice stay with spectacular nature around.”
The hutch is placed in a spectacular location. Although fairly small, it has everything one needs. Great place for observation of birds and the river close by is very nice

“Ge”
If you are looking for quetzals this is the place to be. We had four different sightings in three days and took pictures and videos. Our hosts were really welcoming and showed us round the property which is extensive and contains trails to waterfalls and surrounding mountains. Good training for Parque Nacional Chirripó! The property was well equipped and the bed very comfortable.

Perfect tiny house in a cute nature place. The river is closed. You can park your car. It is cold during night but you have everything you need (blankets). Very clean, hot shower and the kitchen is well equiped. We saw a quetzal really early in the morning !

Exactly what we wanted! A cosy and nice apartment in the woods. Where we could see the quetzal on the property itself! We saw it in the afternoon and morning. And there is a nice walk towards the waterfall which we liked!
