Excellent place! Clean, plenty of room and the backyard was beautiful with steps down to the river. It was perfect for our stay in the rainforest. There is no dryer, you have to hang dry clothes. I had missed that and wasn’t really prepared for no dryer. Host was friendly and answered questions I had about the area. One of the better places we have stayed.

Fantastic home in a good location. The outside area was amazing...we enjoyed eating and relaxing there. The host was amazing as well (and daughter Pamela as well)...one of the nicest families we have ever met. The house provides a true Costa Rican adventure with some of the indoor and outdoor creatures that come with it. We loved it!

This is the cutest property. The outdoor area brought a lot of family time. We loved it. The area was so clean and the sound of the creek was soothing. My only suggestion would be to provide an additional trash bag and paper towels a family of six went through a lot very quickly. Thank you for sharing your home!

We had a wonderful stay at Arboleda’s House – By the River, Forest & Gardens. The setting is peaceful and lush, with the river, forest, and gardens creating a relaxing place to unwind after busy adventure days. The location is excellent—close to everything but still quiet and private.It was just a short drive to the chocolate tour at Don Jorge Chocolate Tour, which was a highlight of our trip. There’s also a great pizzería just up the street, making meals easy and convenient.We booked rappelling and white water rafting with Maquique Adventure Canyoning and Rafting, and it was absolutely fantastic—professional guides, exciting runs, and an unforgettable experience.Overall, this stay was the perfect home base for exploring La Fortuna. Comfortable, well-located, and surrounded by nature. We’d happily stay here again.

Great stay

We enjoyed staying in Dionorah’s home. We had all we needed, we enjoyed being out of “town”, the back yard was heavenly. Abigail’s cafe, down the street, was yummy although it had spotty hours.

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.
