New! Nestled on a quiet, safe and very private mountainside, you'll unwind and unplug among the tropical flowers with playful hummingbirds and butterflies. Hike the trails up your private mountain or down to the cool little river 2 minutes below while enjoying cool nights and 78º days (avg.) Pure drinking water, cozy comfortable quarters and 10 minutes from downtown alive with restaurants and shopping. THIS is your perfect "home base" for your Central Valley adventures. Welcome! Feel welcomed, safe, comfortable and fully relaxed... My private mountain road leads you up to the massive gates of your private, secure and lush mountainside retreat. Your modern cabin is nestled in the sounds and sites of nature sitting on nearly six and a half acres of mountainside. Park your car adjacent to your cabin, you're just a few steps from the balcony . Your cabin looks out at amazing views of Volcano Irazú and downtown Paraiso in the distance. From the comfort of your cushioned wicker chairs you'll be looking over the town of Jucó below while enjoying the parade of hummingbirds and butterflies in the thoughtfully planted flowers around your balcony. Inside Once you step inside your one-room modern cabin, you'll be greeted with lots of natural sunlight gently caressing the room from its many windows. Your eyes will immediately be drawn to the plush and cozy queen bed with bamboo sheets with the thick duvet that is wonderful for those cool nights. A selection of pillows will have you in total comfort for reading with the bed's reading lights or for slumbering for hours to the sounds of nature. The bed is super comfortable. There's a cozy sitting area in the corner with both a comfy chair and a recliner. A soft reading lamp with built in table is perfect for your books and morning or evening drinks. There's even a laptop stand should you desire. Kitchenette You'll appreciate the well-appointed kitchenette that has nearly everything you'll need to prepare scrumptious breakfasts or lunches.

Enjoy your meal at the breakfast bar inside or on the balcony at the table. Bathroom- GOOD NEWS! This is one of the FEW properties in our area at which you can flush toilet paper. Yay! (Really. With many other CR properties you have to dispose toilet paper in the trash can. Ewe.) Your bathroom is nice, clean and simple. It has everything you need for a warm shower to end or start your day. Imported turkish towels are provided to dry off and there are lots of hooks everywhere to hang your things. (Yay! again) Don't worry, there is lots of cubby hole space to organize your toiletries and your provided hairdryer. You'll be able get ready each morning "fuss-free" and get on with your day. Private Garden Area You'll love your own private garden area with a large umbrella, chairs and a small table. Enjoy the sun, the scenery, or enjoy the peacefulness of the afternoon rains while looking to the volcano in the distance. Water Your tap water here is among the CLEANEST water in Costa Rica. Straight from the natural water source up this same mountain, it is free of fluoride and other added chemicals. Here on this property the water is also filtered and then goes through a UV (Ultra Violet) Sanitizer system. No need to buy water in plastic bottles from the store. WIFI The cabin's separate and reliable wifi is terrific for watching videos, listening to music or making phone calls on your laptops, iPads or phones. No TVs here. You're unplugging. Remember?
