We found the place easily and Eduardo and Betty were amazing hosts. Betty is a very good cook. We were in a tropical storm so we decided to drive to the coast for a few days. But we enjoyed our vacation.

Peaceful Stay in Paradise
The property is incredibly beautiful; full of lush flowers, fruit trees, exotic birds, and a trail that leads to a large, clear, mountain stream. The temperature is cool and mild and theres a great view of the surrounding vegitation from the second story. Eduardo and his wife are beyond hospitable and welcoming, and made every effort to find ways to make our stay memorable and comfortable. I would highly recommend you purchase their delicious, aromatic coffee. Ots grown on the property otself, and Eduardo grinds it freshly for you at your request. Nothing but love for this place and the hosts! Pura vida!

Costa Rica Paradise
The Bible describes Goshen as a land or place of plenty and comfort (Genesis 45:10). Gideon, the coffee plantation and guest accommodation of Eduardo and his lovely wife, Betty, offers plenty and delivers comfort. Their jewel of a vacation get-away, located near the university town of Heredia and a short drive from Costa Rica’s capital of San Jose, offers its guests art. Architecture, fauna, flora, fine food and friendship. If you’re interested in art, Eduardo’s private collection along with his own paintings ( he’s quite an accomplished artist in his own right) will captivate the viewer. If you appreciate architecture, their main accommodation is a Mid-Century Modernism style building that offers a 360 degree panorama of the surrounding plantation and neighboring forest with their abundant plants and wild life.One can view various tropical birds coming and going while multi-colored, spotted lizards dart through their gardens. An occasional sloth might even be seen. The grounds are visual delight with many tropical flowers and fruit plants that Eduardo has cultivated. Not only are they feast for the eyes but for one’s stomach, as well, because Eduardo and Betty serve up many of the tropical fruits that are grown on their plantation. Betty is an excellent cook who prepares and presents full course meals that can only be described as the finest of fine dining. Their warmth and hospitality are unlimited and you will find yourself fast becoming friends with your hosts.

Incredible hosts
There are no words to describe the beauty of this property. It is cared for with love and it is pure joy to sit in the garden and soak it all in. We have travelled extensively over the years and have never encountered such incredible hosts. No request went unanswered. We did not have a car so Eduardo was kind enough to help us get around locally. He is also a marvelous tour guide and has extensive knowledge about the history , culture, flora and fauna of Costa Rica. We visited several natural parks with him including experiencing first hand the processing of coffee beans from harvesting to roasting at his plantation Betty, Eduardo’s wife, delighted us with so many wonderful meals and surprises, like breakfast on our first day and a birthday cake and a surprise departure breakfast in addition to home made goodies throughout our stay. We highly recommend Posada Gosen but being at over a mile high make sure you dress appropriately as it was quite windy and cool specially in the evenings unlike the coastal areas. Thank you Eduardo and Betty for your wonderful hospitality.

Quiet getaway outside of Heredia
Fantastic stay with Eduardo and Betty, they are excellent hosts who went above and beyond. They make you feel right at home, we will miss them. The only 'con' would be that the house is so remote, not close to any sites we wanted to see, however, we had no issues getting Uber rides and Eduardo was also willing to offer ride service.

Lovely mountain getaway
Lovely mountain getaway with generous and caring hosts. Comfy bedroom w gorgeous view, access to gorgeous and working coffee farm - great coffee!! Car needed for easy mobility. Great access to national parks and numerous towns and San Jose. Second bedroom is separate from main accommodations, which we didn’t need so it was fine. Would stay again - gracias Edouardo and Betty!

Great hospitality
One of the best experience we have ever had. Eduardo and Betty are the best. They will go out of there way to help you. We stayed here a week for my wife's birthday. They made us feel like we were home celebrating. They bought my wife a cake and we celebrated at a hot spring with his family and friends. Betty's cooking is delicious, she taught my wife how to make homemade tortillas. Ask for the coffee, coffee tea, or the guava juice (which is my favorite). We have now family in Costa Rica and we will be back again. Love you Eduardo and Betty can't wait to see you all again.

A hidden gem high in the mountains
I can't say enough about this beautiful place and owner! We arrived late in the day roughly 6pm and was greeted with open arms by Eduardo. Once we got ourselves settled in on our first night we were treated with a nice seafood soup made by Eduardo's wife Betty who is a gem of a lady as well...The next day we were invited for breakfast at their place as we didn't get time to get our groceries. Christmas day we had dinner with his family and friends which was AMAZING! Our bedroom was the perfect touch with your own private bathroom right in your bedroom, shower as well which made is so nice. Downstairs was the kitchen and dinning room which was decorated for us for Christmas as we were here from Dec-18-26. The property is very very well kept as is the house it's self, where this is located 1100 meters above sea level night time sleeping with the windows open makes it nice and cool and NO alarm needed as you'll have a rooster to wake you hahaha... Eduardo gave us great places to shop for your fruits and veggies in Barva. Most places in CR have gates to their property and driveway and so does this place as you'll get your own remote to open and close when ever you want to come and go, I never had any concerns about our car being unlocked over night, you'll know why when you see it. Downstairs has another bathroom complete with a shower as well, there is a laundry facility there but we never used it. You wont regret this place along with his coffee as he has a coffee farm

Beautiful home close to San Jose
Great accommodations if you want to be close to San Jose but not in the city. Wonderful hosts who were extremely helpful even though they were out of town during our visit. You are in the middle of beautiful gardens and small coffee farm. Feel safe and secure with locked gate to property. We stayed just a couple of nights before heading elsewhere, and it was a great stopover for us. Reasonably priced and a friend of the owners even made dinner for us the first night because we arrived so late. Lovely people!

The property itself is beautiful, peaceful, and well maintained. We were very comfortable and the view from the main building is splendid.The hosts are amazing, warm and welcoming. We leraned about their small-scale coffee production and even got to help out, which was a lot of fun. It almost felt like a homestay experience the way they took the time to interact with us. My husband and two adult children also loved the experience and said it was one of the highlights from the entire trip.

A gem near the Metropolis
Betty and Eduardo have created a stunning rural ambiance very near an urban area. It's difficult to put into words, but guests will understand quickly that even though there are few noises outside of an occasional vaca mooing, or a dog barking in the distance, urban life is only minutes away. They are cordial, inviting, and as far as I know, tolerant. We had some folks over on the last night we were there. I was worried that it was too noisy, but Eduardo and Betty didn't complain. They are very professional. I will be back!

Little Slice of Paradise
The setting is surreal, as you walk the property you see the incredible biodiversity that Costa Rica is known for. Eduardo and Betty are so warm and welcoming from the moment you pull into the gate. This mountainside property offers a view of the volcano, every plant and flower imaginable and a tour of his coffee farm. We then took a walk down to the stream that runs through the property, words cannot express the beauty down there. We sat and had coffee, tea and fresh fruit with them for breakfast and met their pets over fascinating conversation and laughter. We bought their coffee and coffee/tea and were lucky enough to bag our own. Wishing we had more than one night there as Eduardo takes his guests on local tours, he is so knowledgable. MUST STAY in this tropical paradise!!

Five Stars are Not Enough
The reviews are true… beautiful property and AMAZING hosts. Eduardo and Betty make you feel like instant family. They are incredibly sweet and hospitable. There are no words to describe Betty’s cooking; we didn’t want to leave the kitchen. The arepas, Spanish tortilla, and paella were definitely favorites. The fresh, grown on location, coffee was the best (5 bags came home with us!). We appreciated Eduardo’s local knowledge as we hiked and looked for sloths and other wildlife. Grounds were beautiful and accommodations were comfortable. Definitely recommend!

Essence of Costa Rica
Our eight day stay with Eduardo and Betty was definitely the best part of our three weeks in Costa Rica. Easy and affordable pick up and delivery to the San Jose airport is offered. While close to San Jose (thirty minutes), you're in the mountain jungle at over 5000 feet. The house itself is imaginative and fun with gorgeous views from the many windows. There are lots of toys, games, playing areas and outdoor living areas, ideal for kids. The kitchen is well equipped and bathrooms are nicely tiled. The garden is a work of art and Eduardo is a master gardener who enjoys talking about tropical plants, coffee cultivation and Costa Rican culture in fluent English. Both Betty and Eduardo are warm, spirited, outgoing, humorous and interested in making your visit full of nature, food and culture. From them we received many insights into Costa Rican family life, art, politics, business and education. As many have noted Betty's cooking is interesting and delicious and Betty herself a delight. I had just had an injury when I arrived and Eduardo went to considerable effort to get me the equipment and medical attention I needed. Eduardo's tours in his roomy, luxurious car are totally worth it. He knows so much about this area where his interesting family has lived for generations. The two of them and their home turned what could have been an unfortunate experience for us into a completely fulfilling one. I remain amazed and grateful.

Eduardo and Betty are the best! I was treated like family there. I took a tour with Eduardo and he is the ultimate guide, we even had lunch at his favorite soda. He took me to the airport at 4.30 am to pick up my wife because I didn’t want to drive in the dark. Not only did I make a new acquaintance, I made new friends.

Best hosts ever!
Eduardo and Betty are wonderful, gracious hosts who exceeded expectations. They responded quickly and helpfully to every need we had, and gave us some fun (delicious) surprises. They are people with whom we hope to continue to cross paths. We might not have paid close enough attention to the listing details, but were surprised that the two bedrooms were in different structures, and the smaller one isn't as big as most couples would want. However, the price is without question a good bargain for the accommodations. We rate the place as top notch.

Amazing 🤩
You could not ask for a better host. Eduardo and his wife Betty are the most hospitable people! We got to help harvest some coffee beans from his plantation. This amazing property is perfect for getting away from the craziness of life. I could have stayed for months if I didn’t have to work. The river on the property and the wind through the tall pine trees is something I loved to listen to everyday we were there. The foliage on property is stunning. You can sit for hours and watch the hummingbirds fly from plant to plant. Sometimes you can hear green Parrots in the treetops!! I would definitely stay here again. This is a gem of a property!!! Thank you for such a wonderful stay!!
