“A moment we wont forget”
We like the lodge, the view on nature and above all the kindness of Mark and Annabelle. They did a lot to make our staying so nice. The weather was not really good and they gave us advises for activities. We didn t have a car and they did so many things for us not to be too preoccupied to go to places. It was so nice to talk with them. We also enjoyed a lot the diner. Our staying will be a moment we wont forget. Pura vida

“Lovely stay in Turrialba!”
We loved the view and Mark and Anabelle were so kind! We stayed for dinner every night and Audie is such a good cook! We also did the Nortico cacao tour Mark recommended and it was absolutely fantastic as well!

I can’t say enough good things about this property or the wonderful hosts. It is a peaceful, beautiful and comfortable accommodation with stunning views where you will quickly feel at home. It could be challenging for those without a car, but it is manageable and the hosts very kindly helped me get around where possible.

This place is absolutely incredible, with a fantastic location offering stunning 360-degree views of the surrounding landscape, including the Turriba Volcano. Mark and Annabelle were outstanding hosts—warm, friendly, and incredibly welcoming. They made us feel at home right away. The food was delicious, and we enjoyed spending time sharing stories with Mark, Annabelle, and the other guests. Everything about our stay was perfect, and we can’t wait to return!

“A lovely peaceful stay, warm and friendly owners with a stunning view!”
Extremely warm, friendly and helpful owners. We had a few challenges during our stay and Mark and Anabelle couldn’t have been more kind and helpful. The property is rustic but has everything you need and the surroundings are absolutely stunning! Check out that sunset! The owners have a housekeeper who can cook you a lovely meal - highly recommend taking this option. All in all a very special stay and a highlight of our trip!

Gorgeous. The lodge is located high up with a splendid 360° view. We had a large, fully equipped house. There is a restaurant part of the complex with fabulous dishes. I haven't eaten better meat in my entire stay in Costa Rica. Marc and his wife are exceptional and adorable people. We really have very good memories of this meeting. I will miss you Marc 😀
