Deborah is very welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. She is a bit inefficient in communications, though.The house is quaint, and feels like you are on the set of some tropical Hollywood romance.It is extremely quiet and peaceful and private at night.The biggest standout feature is the private guided access to the waterfall. Yes, it really looks like the photos and is the ideal “swimming hole”

Super attentive host, high level of communication. Home is beautiful and tropical in the middle of the rainforest! Driving up at night was VERY scary, we recommend a 4x4, but once we drove back down in the morning it wasn't so bad. This home is deep in the forest, be ready for an off road experience! Home and property is worth it! Especially for a large family/ group. We saw more critters and birds there than in some parks. 100% recommend this place for an unforgettable stay.

This house in the jungle was a highlight of our tour throughout the country. It was more than just a home we stayed at- it was a jungle experience. We loved the private waterfall and the tour through the property. We ended up canceling our plans one day to hang out more there on the property. The host and guide were wonderful to work with.

Perfect jungle property

Stayed with family for 5 nights and didn’t want to leave. Property is very isolated and in the thick of the rainforest which is just what we were looking for. Wake up to birds chirping and the distant sound of the river flowing nearby. Deborah/owner was awesome and so was Jose. Would love to come back some day.

Amazing experience in the rain forest!

This property is truly a gem nestled in the rain forest and was a serene experience. You literally have the jungle to yourself. Deborah was great and made sure we had what we needed for our stay. Jose was also amazing and gave us a guided tour of the property and we swam in the waterfall. If you want privacy and an authentic rain forest experience, this is it. I'd love to go back and spend more time there exploring and taking it all in.

Great place to stay, went with a group of friends, Debra was an excellent host, very accommodating and hospitable, she helped us book several excursions and made sure we got there on time, it does take about 25 minutes to drive to town but has cool scenic views on the way, house and property are nice, would certainly recommend this place over some boring hotel

Amazing stay with incredibly helpful hosts

We love to hike and this place has great trails and hikes. The nearby river is gorgeous and the trees and flowers are spectacular. Jose’s night hike was a lot of fun for the whole family. We’ve rented a hundred vacation homes and Pete and Deborah were the most communicative and helpful of any place we’ve stayed. The house is beautiful and clean. It can get a little hot at night in the rooms but they supply lots of fans which work well. We loved everything about our stay..

Wonderful Quiet Retreat

Our only regret is not having enough time to thoroughly enjoy the grounds and waterfalls. We were here for two nights, and I wish we had longer. It was a peaceful home that brought the outdoors inside, and Deborah was an amazing host. We will def be back the next time we are in Costa Rica :)

A wonderful and beautiful stay.

We had a great time staying at Peter's place. Peter showed us around his ace and was very informative on the flora and fauna. The house was well equipped with everything we needed and the grounds were a tropical paradise (really). Recommend to anyone that is not bothered by an approximate 40minute drive from Quepos down some bumpy but pretty dirt roads.

The Best

The hosts were very friendly and very accommodating. They were always available to answer questions, or offer suggestions for activities in the area. The house is large and open, surrounded by acres of rainforest beauty. We were treated to a guided walk-around tour of the area. Our guide, Jose, was great. The house was filled with exotic flower arrangements from the property. We highly recommend this VRBO house and hosts. They made our first visit to Costa Rica amazing and memorable.

Wonderful Stay in the Rainforest

I’m still blown away by the beauty of the property! After experiencing the busyness of the beach area, this more remote location was definitely our preference. There are beautiful hikes on the property, and the bonus was the waterfall/swimming hole. We enjoyed an evening hike with Jose who knew so much about the plants and animals native to Costa Rica. Our tour with Jose was a highlight! It is a good 15-20 minute drive on rough terrain but well worth the views from the house. And Deborah was so incredibly helpful with planning excursions.She made that entire process very easy.
