Beautiful mountain cottage on three magically landscaped acres 20 minutes up Highway 230 from downtown Turrialba. Well appointed kitchen, bathroom, sitting area/bedroom with separate closet/storage in an open floor plan that offer spectacular views of Volcan Turrialba and of the Caribbean. Many species of fauna, flora, butterflies and birds surround the cottage. Cottage is a great place to hike, relax, and enjoy the true beauty of Costa Rica! Four by four vehicle a must! If your goal is to relax, breathe and just "be" then you will have that and much more while staying at our Magical Mountain Cottage. Our property is two and a half hours from the Caribbean, and in close proximity to waterfalls, white water rafting on the Pacuare river, amazing hikes, the Tropical Agronomy Research and Learning Center (CATIE), of international influence, and the University of Costa Rica. Birding on the property with unique species, butterflies of various types, and the most magnificent view of Volcan Turrialba that one can enjoy over morning coffee. Peace and tranquility will be yours when you are here while you are surrounded by the beauty that makes Costa Rica so very special We are off the main road up a road that is primarily of gravel construction. It is a must that you have a four wheel drive vehicle to access the property...and when you do you will be amazed at all you will experience! Having a four by four also affords you to take those treks that are off the beaten path and truly experience the real Costa Rica that only the locals know and are more than happy to share with you! The property is beautifully landscaped with a walking path around the perimeter and an entry road that takes you in and through the property and introduces you to Costa Rica's pura vida and the peace and beauty that surrounds you during your stay. There is a ranchito to relax in a hammock - as you look out over the valley. Fresh fruit is available for your picking when in season, and you can even have the opportunity to pick and dry and roast your own coffee beans (during the harvest season) if you are an adventurous spirit! The cottage has two porches, one with clear morning view of Volcan Turrialba Volcano and the other that overlooks the beauty of the Caribbean across a sloping valley that goes out to greet it. Each has comfortable sitting area and all is very private with little to disturb you other than the sound of nature which surrounds you! We are open to both short and long term stays, however we do require a two night minimum...but once you get here you will understand why we are in love with this area. Local produce and other staples are available at the market/hardware store in the village of San Rafael de Santa Cruz which is where we live, and on the weekends in Turrialba fresh fish, vegetables, fruits, cheeses and meats are all brought in from various regions of the area for sale at the weekly Feria. It is a must to see and experience! Ripe pineapple, mango, guayaba, bananas and so much more! Where else would you want to spend your time?! This is also a perfect place for folks who are working at Catie or one of the other local industries who need a home away from home. Check out the photos and you will see why this is the place for you! We have made a COVID safe environment for all of our guests and thus the three day distance between rentals. We provide hand sanitizer, masks, gloves and upon arriving you will come to a cottage that has been immaculately cleaned and sanitized. We are very aware of the importance of not only providing a beautiful space but a space that you can feel safe and comfortable and have some time to relax from the pressures of life.
Truly lives up to its name of “Magical Mountain Retreat!” This is a beautiful cottage nestled in the mountains. It feels very private and has the most amazing views. We loved the plants and nature on the property and couldn’t resist going outside in the mornings to see what birds we could find. We would definitely come back again!
Nice place with all the amenities and a fantastic view. A few good restaurants within a couple minute drive (could walk if you want).
Das Häuschen von Chris ist wirklich eine kleine Oase. Es ist wunderschön gelegen und man hat einen tollen Ausblick auf den Vulkan. Von der Terrasse aus konnten wir viele Vögel beobachten. Die Küche ist hervorragend ausgestattet und wir hatten das große Glück, Christ selber kennenlernen zu dürfen. Sie ist eine sehr warmherzige und hilfsbereite Person und hat uns in all unseren Belangen geholfen. Eine absolute Empfehlung!
The cottage is located a 2 minute drive or 10 minute walk up a country road from the village of San Rafael de Santa Cruz. The property is on a mountain and so there are other fincas (farms) and quintas (vacation homes) located up and down the mountain, a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. This is a very secure area occupied and traveled only by local residents. The people here know us, know that we frequently rent our cottage, and will make you feel at home and welcomed. We have a good friend who greets you with the keys and is available to answer any questions you may have regarding the cottage, location, what to do or where to go, and just give any general guidance you may need! We have made wonderful lifelong friends who are always willing to take our guests on excursions and to show them special areas of the region that only the locals know about! Truly a very special place as you will learn from reading our reviews!
The cottage is located just outside of the village of San Rafael de Santa Cruz, a 20 minute taxi or car drive from downtown Turrialba and a ten-minute walk from the center of the village. A bus goes regularly from the village to downtown. If you plan to rent a vehicle, a four by four is required for two reasons: first, the road from the village to our home is rock construction which makes steep inclines challenging and second, a four by four gives you options in Costa Rica that two wheel drives do not, particularly in accessing remote areas, frequently right outside of a town, for birding, swimming, hiking and exploring. There is ample parking on the property and a cement pathway from the parking area to the cottage makes loading and unloading very easy. From the cottage you can drive to Santa Cruz about three miles up the road to the entry to visit Monumento Nacional Guayabo; you can drive an hour for a magnificent outdoor hike and visit to Volcan Iruzu; you can explore the various waterfalls of the region; hike. the forest to Volcan Turrialba; and much more or sit and watch Volcan Turrialba across the valley from the comfort of the cottage.
自我介绍
Chris and Herb live in Sonoma County, California in the heart of the wine and apple growing regions of California. We are both very involved in our communities and work in the human services arena for which we are both very passionate about. We enjoy camping, traveling, eating great food, spending time with family and friends, and making a difference in this world that is often so very hectic! Folks really enjoy coming to our cottage in Costa Rica and our home in California because they are both very warm and relaxing Chris is an amazing cook (so when we are in Costa Rica at the same time as our guests...you will get some truly wonderful meals if you want to join us for dinner! We have enjoyed getting to know the folks who have stayed with us at both locations and will look forward to greeting you on your journey!
