This has one of the best views of Lake Arenal. The house sits on a side of a mountain that runs into the lake, approximately half way up. Monkeys, toucans, parrots, and so many birds are always around. There is a patio with a fabulous view of Lake Arenal that has love seat. The living and dining area faces the lake with a view that is really spectacular.

The location is near the town of Rio Piedras,between Nuevo Arenal and Tilaran, about 26 miles to Tobacon Hot Springs, The Hanging Bridges, the new Canopy Tram, and the Arenal Volcano, boat trips to Monteverde and more. This is important when comparing rentals, as some are on the south side of the lake, and Tronadora, which doubles the distance to these must-see locations. Its central location also makes the beaches of the Pacific Ocean a two hour drive, but the climate is cool and lush.

The lake is very clean and you can swim, fish, or boat there, and there is a nice short excursion, to Lake Cote (about five miles away). There is a nice canopy tour here, and the famous bottomless lake.

    This lovely casita was exactly what we anticipated. It is well designed for guest privacy and captures lovely breezes to cool the building for sleeping. After a few weeks of very warm weather, this location was very refreshing. We cooked most of our evening meals in the kitchenette, which was well equipped and easy to work in. The owners took great care in keeping their friendly dogs away but we love dogs so had no issues with the occasional canine visitor. We would definitely recommend this property.

    The Casita was just as advertised. Small but didn't feel small. We were nervous about the size before moving in but it felt the right size and we didn't feel crowded or closed in. It had everything that we needed and expected. The view was great and the location was fine. We had a car so getting to groceries etc. was not a problem. Barbara and Lawrence were great hosts. We really enjoyed Lawrence's band practices. All in all a great stay.

    Great place in the hills of Lake Arenal, quirky roads, green rugged hillsides overseen by mysterious cloud capped volcanoes, with a thousand stars overhead to watch over your sleep in the cozy well equipped Casata. The owners are friendly and helpful, Lucy the dog friendly and curious. Great little hiseaway.

    Property was fantastic and the owners were wonderful. We know that people were glad to see so much rain in the dry season but it did put a damper on things.

    Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Property manager was helpful, attentive and a joy to converse with. Would recommend. Driving distance to both La Fortuna and Monteverde and everything in between. Would stay again

    We had a great time at this casita. The home has lots of windows for the lovely breeze, kitchen is small but serviceable and the bathroom small but excellent with lots of hot water. We enjoyed birdwatching on the porch and were very pleased with the house and great hosts. I was glad to have the option of the futon in case my sleep mate was restless but it was not needed.

    We enjoyed staying here. The house is beautiful with a great view! Barbara and Lawrence were on the property which was a nice comfort if anything went wrong or we had questions, but they stayed quietly in the background. We enjoyed our daily visits with Lucy, their dog. She was so well behaved and loved to be petted. Highly recommend staying here.

    Barbara and Lawence are wonderful people. We felt welcomed and right at home. Lucy, their dog, was such a delight to see everyday too. The casita is located close to an excellent restaurant for breakfast, Cafe Macademia. It was a peaceful way to begin our Costa Rica vacation!
