We really enjoyed staying at this property. It’s very private and surrounded by nature. If you want to wake-up to the sounds of wild nature and monkeys and stay away from the chaos of the town, this would be the perfect location.

Such a cute place tucked away in El Castillo! Beautiful views of Lake Arenal and the property is just absolutely beautiful! The guest house was very clean and well cared for, and they even gave us a welcome basket with some breakfast foods! They have everything you need to have a quiet, relaxing trip and stay in, or you are a half a mile from restaurants, etc.My only disappointment is that it was raining and I didn’t get to hear or see any howler monkeys that apparently are near the property.

Cozy retreat in the heart of Arenal

We have a wonderful time in our visit to La Fortuna. The house was a perfect repose after a busy day around the many attractions Arenal has to offer. Communication with Nita and Marty was excellent. The house is far enough from the noise and hubbub in La Fortuna but close enough to all attractions and conveniences. It is a cozy, clean and inviting space. The gardens are gorgeous and we saw plenty of beautiful birds. There is a nice pool and hot tub and the little jungle trail was good for the kids to explore. 100% recommend!

Paradise found

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!

Paradise!

The moment my friend and I arrived, we both thought, "I wish I could live here." The property is gorgeous!Every morning, I walked the grounds to watch birds, and two of the host's cute dogs (Angel and Mia) accompanied me. I saw all sorts of incredible birds (including keel-billed toucans) and realized a great view of Arenal was only a short jaunt up the hill.The house stayed remarkably cool with only the fans running (we didn't need to turn on the AC, though it was available). The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. The house felt very private; we knew other people were staying on the property but didn't see them at all. The driveway up to the house was rugged, but the 2WD low-clearance Kia we rented did fine navigating it.Overall, I'm glad we picked lodging outside of La Fortuna. The grounds were peaceful and beautiful, and getting to the common attractions in the area was easy. We hope to come back someday.

Guest House

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.

We had an amazing time at Nita and Marty’s place. They were so accommodating to our scheduling mishaps, helped arrange outings, and assisted us in navigating finding a doctor on a Sunday. The property was so comfortable, with lovely creative touches in the decorating. Our sons loved splashing in the pool, visiting with he friendly dogs, and exploring the tail down to the creek. We loved our stay!

Beautiful House with Great Access to Arenal Views!!

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!

Beautiful Property

My husband and I and three friends had a wonderful time at this house. It's off the beaten path so you need 4 wheel drive, but once there, the view and property can't be beat. Nita was very helpful with booking activities and we had a great time white water rafting, ATVing, zip lining, horseback riding, etc. Definitely recommend it!
