Fantastic experience. Just perfect. The property, as stated, sits on a coffee farm, and is surrounded on all sides by lush vegetation. I kept thinking it really was as close to paradise as I'll ever see. Kim and Michael were excellent hosts, very prompt with communication, and understanding when I experienced some major travel delays. Jose, the caretaker, was also incredibly helpful, knowledgable, and friendly. The property had everything we needed to prepare meals, make coffee, and keep some groceries refrigerated. Staying in this VRBO, I felt I was as close to nature as I could possibly be, while still enjoying the security and convenience that any mass-produced dwelling would have. A big plus for me is that the construction and overall design were all sustainable. The solar power and on-demand hot water never left us wanting for anything, and we weren't misers with either. The neighborhoods and towns surrounding the property were all a very quick drive, or walkable. We found everything we needed at local markets and restaurants/sodas. During our stay, we went to Jaco, for a day of "jungle adventures," stayed there that night, and hit the beach the next day. It was a reasonable drive, and that was also a great time, but though we stayed in a cute little "boutique" hotel, we both found ourselves wishing we were "back on the farm." If you're on the fence, book this one. It was a dream come true. Thanks again for sharing this property with us.

Great place, great owner & property manager. would definitely stay again.

Spent 2 nights here during our honeymoon. It’s a quaint little area and was really cool to stay on a small coffee farm. Jose was great and it was a great location close to Poas Volcano, La Paz Waterfall and close to San Jose. Highly recommended if you are looking for an authentic experience.

Property was beautiful and unique. If you are looking for a quite getaway in a beautiful location this is it. Everything you need is provided and the host is very accommodating. I definitely recommend doing some star gazing at night and check out Poas volcano and La Paz waterfall Gardens.

This property is a very special place and one not to be missed if you want an enchanting country getaway or base in the Poas area. The building has glass windows all around which allows sunlight to stream in from sunrise to sunset. Lounging on the bed with the sun streaming in the morning was lovely and we could birdwatch without getting out of bed due to all the pretty flowers just outside that attracted birds. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need to make a meal and access to the washing machine was great. The bamboo flooring was warm on your feet and felt luxurious. Jose showed us around the coffee plantation and shared lots of information about the property. His warmth and genuine friendliness made the stay so enjoyable. We bought coffee gown on the farm itself and can’t wait to share it with friends. The location is a bit tricky to find the first time. Ignore google maps directions which tell you to turn left on Calles Liles. outside of San Pedro de Poas. It takes you to a back (west)!side of the property where there is no access. Find Camiones Hermanos Peraza on google maps and go past there to Super Zamora store (left side at an intersection)!) and turn left and follow the rest of instructions on the site. There is a small sign for Rio Coyote by a blue wall and turn left onto a dirt road and follow the directions. I recommend arriving by day if at all possible. Off the beaten track a bit and luxurious and rustic all at once. Hope to return again one day for longer. (We stayed 4 nights) A slice of heaven!

Everyone who has stayed here has said it all. Just being here was one of the of the highlights of our trip. Few AirBandBs in many continents compare to this house and this setting. Wish I were writing a book because I would come here for months and months. I do think the directions could be clearer. We came in from Samara on the west coast. Had no trouble getting to San Pedro de Poas, but took us a another hour being lost to finally get to the house. We thought the soccer field - of which you actually go by five or six- Perazo Hermanos Camiones and Zamora market were just outside of town, but they definitely are not. You have to make a right turn on one of of the roads outside of town and then go a few kilometers uphill to get to them. It would have been extremely helpful to have had this information along with a description of where to turn- I think Restaurant Marillo or something like that. The best thing to do is to program your GPS to Peraza Hermanos. Unfortunately ours was cutting in and out and no one in town had any idea of where we were going. But as they say in the sausage business, “Once you chop the meat, the rest is easy.”

Hier kann man herrlich die Seele baumeln lassen und im eigenen paradiesischen Garten die Natur und die Ruhe genießen. Entspannt im Schaukelstuhl auf der Terrasse die Vogelwelt beobachten und dabei z.B. frische Erdbeeren schlemmen, die überall im Umland angeboten werden. Tolle Ausflugsziele gibt es obendrein (Poas Vulkan, La Paz Waterfall Gardens...) Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet, das Haus ist perfekt für 2-3 Personen oder mit dem zusätzlichen Ferienhaus nebenan (wird vermutlich nur zusammen mit dem Haus vermietet, war während unseres Aufenthalts frei) auch für mehr. Jose wohnt etwas entfernt auf dem Gelände und steht sehr gerne mit Rat und Tat zur Verfügung. Perfekt, um in den Costa Rica Urlaub zu starten oder ihn ausklingen zu lassen, 45 Min. bis zum Airport. Einfach schön.

The building & gounds were well care for. The kitchen was adequate for our needs. The washer was excellent. The only thing we did care for was the short drive to Rio Coyote. We master it by driving slowly & never hitting the gas. We agreed by Jose & was very help.

I stayed at this property with my husband, my 8-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter and we had an amazing time. The owner ensured that Jose was available upon our arrival to help guide us to the property in case we had any trouble finding it since we arrived well after dark. The provided directions as well as the GPS location that she provided proved to be enough and we arrived without issue. Jose was ready for us and gave us a quick tour of the facilities. There is a book in the bamboo house that also guides you through the property as well as provides recommendations on sights and restaurants in the area. We did visit a few of the recommended sights and restaurants and were not disappointed (Poas Volcano, Los Chorros Waterfalls, Grecia, the local soda (Bomba I believe, which was the best in all of our other soda visits across the country). Since there were four of us two of us slept in the bamboo house and two in the lofted apartment. Both are equipped with all the basic necessities and then some. The bamboo house is such an amazing building with beautiful views of the coffee farm and such a gorgeous design. We made full use of the kitchen and were happy to find it stocked with some basic necessities such as oil, spices, and a wide variety of cooking utensils. I cannot come up with adequate words to describe how serene the property is. We coordinated a time for a quick tour of the farm with Jose and were delighted with the experience. It was very interesting to learn about the coffee process as well to pick various fruits from the trees on the farm. Jose is an excellent host and guide; polite and helpful. We didn't have a need to further use his services but it was nice knowing he was available if needed and he did check in with us once or twice after. We stayed for three nights and were very sad to leave but we left feeling more at peace than when we arrived. If I make it back to Costa Rica I will definitely stay here again. I would highly recommend this property to anyone interested in visiting Costa Rica.

2nd time we stayed (first time in 2015). Continues to be a great place for a quiet get away from it all. Very safe and rural. Has great water, plumbing and shower facilities, plus lots of birds. Property was very much as described and pictured. We had access to good bus lines to Alajuela. Our host on the ground took us on a small tour of the property and showed us the mechanics of from tree to table. He also is well known and regarded in the area and linked us in with folks from other small holding farms. We also went to Poas and La Paz Waterfall Gardens, two very "not to miss" área features. We had many fun adventures and were sad to leave. This place is a really nice location for us and I think you will enjoy it too!.
