Great escape to Rainforest

Posted Aug. 16, 2024 on HomeAway
Wonderful house and property in a rainforest setting. House has all the necessary amenities, comfortable bed. Marty was very responsive on WhatsApp and welcoming when we arrived. We thoroughly enjoyed all the little extras like the pool, hot tub, and nature walk. Would definitely return again!

Paradise found

Posted Mar. 29, 2024 on HomeAway
Do yourself a favor and rent this property! The house is absolutely adorable and inspired us to start looking for our dream Costa Rican house. Michael, the caretaker, met us at no one is how are you gonna get in? check-in and the owners ensured we were happy with our stay. Everything was thought out and you had everything you would need for a comfortable stay. The gardens are absolutely gorgeous and we had many early bird visitors that were a treat to watch. The house is near Essence Arenal where we took yoga classes and had a lovely meal as well as Arenal Observatory where a day hike was enjoyed. Will definitely be back!

Guest House

Posted Sep. 8, 2023 on HomeAway
This was an adorable cottage with birds chirping all around. Kitchen is well equipped and the welcome package of food was much appreciated after a long drive! The surroundings are beautiful and the walk down to the river is lovely. Had to walk up the driveway to get views of the volcano but it was spectacular at dawn. The sunroom is lovely except the curtains do let in a lot of light. Great if you like to wake up at the break of dawn! It was a little small for our family of 5 unfortunately & probably not the best for teenagers who sleep in! Air conditioner is only in the kitchen but if we kept our room doors open it was cool enough to sleep. Overall, this is a great place and best suited for 4 people in my opinion.

Family friendly jungle fun

Posted Jul. 31, 2022 on HomeAway
Marty and Nita were the perfect hosts! They greeted us upon our arrival, answered our questions and had great referrals for restaurants & excursions. The guesthouse was clean, welcoming and family friendly. We loved the art, property, pool and the hike on the property to the river. Not to mention the CUTEST pups ever ❤️ Highly recommend the Encantada Guest house!!

Beautiful House with Great Access to Arenal Views!!

Posted Jul. 11, 2022 on HomeAway
The Encantada Guest House was located on a beautifully curated property with tons of flowers, plants and animals to watch! It was a great location to serve as our "base camp" during our stay in La Fortuna. The access to hikes at Arenal National Park was very convenient. We loved the Arenal 1968 hike and highly recommend! The property is very quiet and private and the hosts are extremely helpful for all your needs. Definitely a highly recommended place to stay for a family vacation in the Arenal area!

Absolutely Amazing

Posted Jan. 18, 2022 on HomeAway
From start to finish everything was beyond expectations. Communication with the owners was great and the home was perfect. The home has everything you will need or could want, very clean and inviting. The grounds are kept to a park setting. Howler monkeys in the distance, hummingbirds and geckos made this experience magical. This is a perfect place to spoil yourself, my only regret is we had to leave. Thank you so very much for sharing this piece of paradise with us, we will never forget the time we had here.
