Peter and his wife are lovely and were super proactive and responsive leading up to, and even after our stay with them. We only stayed one night, so we weren’t able to ask them to arrange any activities for us, but we are sure they would have been super helpful with that.
However, we chose this place because the description (and reviews) painted a picture of a secluded escape from the city, into nature. Wanting an affordable eco-lodge vibe, we were excited to experience that feeling. However, because the place is right off the road and next to other properties, and the wildlife was non-existent (apparently it’s the off season but we weren’t told this beforehand), we didn’t get the feeling of being remote. Further, having already stayed in San Ignacio, we know that the town is not loud at all. In fact, it was louder at this place because of the dogs and chickens, which woke us up three times during the night. An advantage of the location was that we could see another side of San Ignacio as we walked into town, which we really liked.
The place is mostly very clean, and the wood cabin itself is beautiful. The towels were old (though the hosts are rock-solid, so I’m sure these can and will be replaced for future guests), but overall it was quite tasteful.
Regarding the cost, the place is listed at a very reasonable price, but it gets expensive when factoring in the cleaning and booking fee. Therefore, we would recommend staying for a longer period, so that the fees get spread out. Staying for one night was actually comparable price wise to staying at a much fancier resort hotel!
Again, this review has the caveat that we only stayed one night, and perhaps others would have a terrific experience if they were looking to hang out for a longer time.
