This is a unique property, with direct access to a river running along the property which is accessible to swim in, the views from the cabins are spectacular with mountain and natural jungle views with amazing bird and plants/flowers. Had howling monkeys directly in front of my cabin. Can't recommend this property enough, just awesome
Great location, close to the town and near some good restaurants.
We had two rooms: one was very nice with a great view, even in the shower and the other one felt more like an old cabin.
The pool is very nice ans the pathway to the river is worth going.

La verdad que han atendido rápido lo que le hemos solicitado, es cómodo y bonito el entorno
the property was amazing, the gardens were just beautiful, the back of our cabin was like being in the middle of the rain forest. the best part was that we could walk to the river and enjoy a little swim.
The family that tends to the cabin was so kind. It is very helpful to speak a bit of Spanish, but they do they’re best if you don’t. There was a nice breakfast for $5/person that we enjoyed while watching the many birds out front at the reception area, and having a completely private cabin with a back porch overlooking the garden was very nice.
joli endroit très fleuri, chambre meublée sommairement, mais l'essentiel y était, personnel gentil, un petit problème d'eau chaude réglé (nous avons changé de chambre), une jolie piscine.
Une étape agréable durant notre séjour. Propriétaire très accueillant, petit chalet ( cabinas)individuel dans un environnement de verdure., chambre spacieuse
This was a sweet place out of the main Fortuna area, but still quite close. My only complaint was we expected at least one stove burner for a little cooking. The people are super-sweet. Breakfast was adequate. Nice gardens and walk down to the river. Quiet.
Great little place to stay. The setting is very beautiful and it feels remote even though this is quite close to La Fortuna town, La Fortuna waterfall and Cerro Chato. The breakfast at the Cabina was also a great example of a typical breakfast. Highly recommended!
These little cabins were very clean, some newly renovated. Amenities were a little lacking, like there was no safe or AC, however there was a refrigerator, a kitchenette as well as a porch overlooking the river with a hammock. table and chairs to enjoy the afternoon.
Breakfast was supplied for an additional $5 per person that was homemade and delicious. Our host was also a bit of a bird whisperer, having made friends with a local humming bird that felt comfortable enough to land on his hand.
All-in-all, it was a nice place to stay, near the volcanic area and reasonable in price.
Very rustic with large gaps under main doors so lots of bugs and gecko

cabine un po' fuori mano, ma immerse nel verde, un po' care per i servizi che da, la famiglia che gestisce la cabina, è molto gentile e ospitale, consiglio anche se il prezzo è un po' alto
My family (two adults and 2 teenagers) had a nice stay at Cabinas La Catarata. The cabin has a balcony with a great view of the river and the surrounding forest. Tranquil environment!
Toucans and parrots and many other birds appeared on the trees viewed from the kitchenette/balcony. The sounds from the trees and the cataracts below were very refreshing. We could experience the outdoors even on the day it was raining.
