The highlight of our Costa Rican vacation!
A stay at Casa Rio Sierpe is a ‘must do’ if you are traveling to Costa Rica. We were met by friendly Simone who will greeted us when we arrived and was always available to help with any questions or arrangements we had during stay. Our wonderful guide Ruben was at our beck and call and guided us through many of the available activities. There are no shortage of adventures to keep guests busy. The accommodations are private, clean and very relaxing. You’ll want to take some time to enjoy the beautiful deck. And finally I would absolutely recommend bringing in Dolly to cook your meals. A wonderful woman and an amazing cook!

A magical remote jungle stay
If you are looking for a genuine Costa Rica experience, this is it! The house is perched in the jungle, with screens for walls, so the sounds of the jungle surround you at night, yet keep out unwanted creatures. Howler monkeys and toucans hang out in the trees right off the deck, that is comfortably equipped with rocking chairs, a sofa sectional, and huge table that we ate at every night. There are surprisingly very few mosquitoes, testimony to the rare opportunity to spend a few days in a balanced ecosystem. Adventures in the boat with Ruben are so special, our favorites were looking for animals in the mangroves, visiting fruit island, and swims at the beach just down the river. We have 3 school age kids, and this is our second trip to Costa Rica, and our instinct was to over-program with a trip to Corcovada. However, exploring the river and surrounding area were truly more rewarding. Dolly cooked for us every night, delicious and authentic meals, just like all the reviews say. What I didn't realize is that Simone, an English speaking tour guide based out of Sierpe, also helps with logistics. Our travel plans leaving Sierpe were completely derailed with a broken ferry dock and bridge, and she quickly helped us find a new solution to our next destination. Our only negative is personal- we didn't think through what living off the grid means, but within a day we adjusted, and were totally rewarded with a trip that we will never forget.

Rainforest adventure
The home was centrally located on Rio Sierpe. We saw or heard monkeys nearly every day. Its a beautiful tree house high on a ridge. The master bedroom with master bath on the second level with a great view. The main level was an open floor plan with 4 sliding doors to the back deck where we had dinner and relaxed each evening. There is no AC but plenty of ceilings fans. There is a second bedroom on the main floor as well as a 2-3 additional sleeper couches in the living room. A second full bath on the main floor. The kitchen is well stocked. What made it even more special was meeting the people who helped make your stay even better- Ruben and his family, Dolly, and Simone

Five-star adventure!
I'm honestly having a bit of trouble putting the magic of Casa Rio Sierpe into words. The home itself is beautifully-designed and comfortable, and it's tucked into a gorgeous, remote setting. I loved sitting on the expansive deck with my binoculars watching toucans and other tropical birds fly from tree to tree. There is no AC in this home, but the ceiling fans allowed us to sleep comfortably and the screens let in the symphony of sounds that come from the surrounding jungle. The walk up the driveway is quite a hike in itself (so don't ignore Mark's caution about needing to be in decent physical shape to stay here), but the exertion is worth it! The house itself, however, is only a small fraction of the magic that comes with booking this property. Mark was a friendly and fast communicator. Rayna, the travel planner who works with this property, helped us book transportation and tours in advance of our stay. Simone, the nearby English-speaking concierge, was available to help us plan each day of our to our fullest. Ruben, the on-site guide, took us on many wonderful adventures (visiting the fruit farm and kayaking in the mangroves were favorites). Adriana made sure the house was sparkling each day and helped us with our laundry. Last but not least, we paid for Dolly's dinners each day, and they were an absolutely delicious way to wrap up each day of adventure. While the Casa itself is incredible, it's the people involved with this trip that really made this trip magical!

Paradise in the Rainforest
Casa Rio Sierpe is amazing! I have been to Costa Rica twice, have stayed in many locations and this is my favorite! When booking I was looking for a more authentic Costa Rica experience, away from tourist resorts. The house is immaculate and beautiful. The team that takes care of you while you are there can not be beat. Simone was amazing and helped answer all of our question quickly. Ruben was great as well, he took us on a night hike, my husband had a great time fishing with him, and we visited Jose's fruit farm (do not miss this)! Just being in the boat and riding through the mangroves was one of the highlights of my trip. Don't miss out on Dolly's cooking, her food is incredible! She prepares an amazing three course meal. We have been home almost a week and are still talking about Dolly each night at dinner. My girls keep reminding me that I am supposed to ask for her juice recipes (best juice I have ever had in my entire life). We also worked with Rayna who booked an outside tour for us to Corcovado National Park and Cano Island. Mark was also great to work with. He quickly answered all of my questions and provided thorough documentation about the house, area and tours available. I highly recommend Casa Rio Sierpe!

Excellent on all counts. Ruben was lovely and helpful. Dolly was a grand cook. We will definitely return for another visit as our four nights was too short.

Such a grwat opportunity to enjoy the the beuty of being so far away from cities. I would highly recomend staying here. Simone, Reuban and Dolly were there for every need if we needed theor help. Dolly should be some award winning chef so dont oass up her option to cook. Reuban and his family are so kind and helped us on a a few adventures. I think the best part was Luna their small black dog. Always coming to greet you at the end of driveway and at the dock. Thanks to all gor making are trip wonderful. Rick n Bonnie G

Best week of our 3 in Cost Rica
The house is totally beautiful & immaculate with daily cleaning. We were welcomed with cold lemonade, cool eucalyptus scented cloths, & friendly smiling faces. The access to the house is steep, but in spite of that it was our very best week of the 3 we spent in Costa Rica. The view, the toucans & other beautiful birds visible from our balconies were awesome. The support staff were incredible: Special thankyou's to Rueben who was always available to take us kayaking through the mangroves, fishing, boating, visiting the most incredible beach, day or night hiking, & fixing the pump within 5 minutes of our call. AND, we have to add this: make Dolly, the cook, part of your visit! Her dinners were like a 5 star hotel, but so reasonably priced. She herself was a ray of sunshine! All in all it was wonderful. 5 stars from us. We miss Luna!

Lovely home, fantastic location, STELLAR local team
Travelled here with my girlfriend and one of our best friends. We had an absolutely wonderful time! Before getting into details, I want to say that the local/onsite team at this home truly made our trip. Ruben and his wife are from the area- she took immaculate care of the home while he took us to beaches in the evening and on short trips during the day. I largely wanted to visit Oso peninsula to see sloths and Ruben tirelessly guided us on his boat until we found some. It was so magical. Dolly came and made us dinner every night. My pants no longer fit but it was worth it. She’s so skilled at cooking a wide variety of cuisines! Our favorites were the whole fried fish and pork steak. Ask for her special hot sauce- so fresh and bright! She also made amazing arepas for lunch one day- best I’ve ever had. Love you Dolly!! Simone is the property manager. She has such a beautiful, warm energy. I appreciated her understanding that we are “hands off” guests- she gave us space to relax while still managing and organizing our activities. It should be noted that she bakes a mean pie. Thanks, Simone! Location: remote, but not so much so that you feel isolated- Ruben and his family live at the bottom of the (very steep) trail to the house and Simone (local property manager- love her!) is maybe 10 minutes away by boat. Amazing view of the Sierpe river and the surrounding jungle. We spent our mornings watching toucans and monkeys from the outdoor dining room/porch area. The foliage is breathtaking. While it didn’t present as issue for us, interested parties should note that the hill to the house really is a trek. You’ll definitely want shoes with Vibram soles or trail shoes. Amenities: more than adequate. Great showers! Lots of cozy places to lay down and have a siesta. Included activities: we scheduled to balance relaxing and working from home with having an immersive experience. Horseback riding with Ruben was 10/10- totally worth the $60pp. Ruben also took us on a night walk- highly recommend. The array of bugs, spiders, snakes and bats that come out after sunset was stunning. Bring a headlamp- the more powerful the better. We also booked a snorkeling excursion with Cesar to Kanu island. He is an excellent guide! All in all, we hope to stop over again next year on our annual to South America. I already miss the din of cicadas at night. :)
