The pictures do not do this place justice! It is gorgeous, peaceful, well stocked, and spotlessly clean. I'm pretty picky about cleanliness and I can assure you that this place would pass the most meticulous inspection. I was a little worried about booking this place, but I'll explain why you shouldn't be.
I was worried about drinking rain water, but it was delicious and tasted like bottled water. We drank tons of it and no one got sick.
I read somewhere that coqui frogs were as loud as lawnmowers, but that's not true. We really enjoyed the sound and I would compare the volume to crickets. So, if you enjoy falling asleep to the sound of crickets, then you will love coqui frogs! They sound more like birds than frogs.
I was worried about privacy because there is another rental cabin plus the owners on property, but it is surrounded by so much lush greenery that it feels very secluded. I constantly walked out to my car in my pajamas without worrying about running into anyone. Every window has views of lush greenery. It feels like your own private paradise .
I was worried about being able to find this place in the dark, but it wasn't a problem. GPS led us straight to it and it is well marked and easy to find. It is off of a gravel road without street lights, but a flood light comes on when you approach the gate and another flood light comes on when you approach the lodge. You will be grateful for the lack of light when you look at the stars. The night sky is stunning out there!
The owners were very responsive and easy to get in touch with. They are great hosts who have truly thought of every detail. They knew we were arriving late with two children, so when we first opened the door, it was lovely to find the pullout bed already made and soft, relaxing music playing. It was well stocked with fruit, snacks, and food.
Volcanoes national park is very close by, so if you plan on going there you should definitely book this place. You won't regret it. I miss it already!
