Great escape to Rainforest
Wonderful house and property in a rainforest setting. House has all the necessary amenities, comfortable bed. Marty was very responsive on WhatsApp and welcoming when we arrived. We thoroughly enjoyed all the little extras like the pool, hot tub, and nature walk. Would definitely return again!

Paradise found
Do yourself a favor and rent this property! The house is absolutely adorable and inspired us to start looking for our dream Costa Rican house. Michael, the caretaker, met us at no one is how are you gonna get in? check-in and the owners ensured we were happy with our stay. Everything was thought out and you had everything you would need for a comfortable stay. The gardens are absolutely gorgeous and we had many early bird visitors that were a treat to watch. The house is near Essence Arenal where we took yoga classes and had a lovely meal as well as Arenal Observatory where a day hike was enjoyed. Will definitely be back!

Guest House
This was an adorable cottage with birds chirping all around. Kitchen is well equipped and the welcome package of food was much appreciated after a long drive! The surroundings are beautiful and the walk down to the river is lovely. Had to walk up the driveway to get views of the volcano but it was spectacular at dawn. The sunroom is lovely except the curtains do let in a lot of light. Great if you like to wake up at the break of dawn! It was a little small for our family of 5 unfortunately & probably not the best for teenagers who sleep in! Air conditioner is only in the kitchen but if we kept our room doors open it was cool enough to sleep. Overall, this is a great place and best suited for 4 people in my opinion.

Marty and Nita were the perfect hosts! They greeted us upon our arrival, answered our questions and had great referrals for restaurants & excursions. The guesthouse was clean, welcoming and family friendly. We loved the art, property, pool and the hike on the property to the river. Not to mention the CUTEST pups ever ❤️ Highly recommend the Encantada Guest house!!

Beautiful House with Great Access to Arenal Views!!
The Encantada Guest House was located on a beautifully curated property with tons of flowers, plants and animals to watch! It was a great location to serve as our "base camp" during our stay in La Fortuna. The access to hikes at Arenal National Park was very convenient. We loved the Arenal 1968 hike and highly recommend! The property is very quiet and private and the hosts are extremely helpful for all your needs. Definitely a highly recommended place to stay for a family vacation in the Arenal area!

Absolutely Amazing
From start to finish everything was beyond expectations. Communication with the owners was great and the home was perfect. The home has everything you will need or could want, very clean and inviting. The grounds are kept to a park setting. Howler monkeys in the distance, hummingbirds and geckos made this experience magical. This is a perfect place to spoil yourself, my only regret is we had to leave. Thank you so very much for sharing this piece of paradise with us, we will never forget the time we had here.

Private Jungle Experience
Super well set up, the spot borders right up to the jungle at the back step so you feel you are there, but had everything you would need. We personally were glad we choose to be further away from La Fortuna and the little area on this side of the Volcano was perfect for our needs. A quick drive to town and the "events" but with only the noise of the jungle and rarely seeing anyone else. Highly recommended if you can get it. The owners were out of town but attentive on WhatsApp as needed. The guest house would be one of the better set up / equipped / welcome package options I have stayed at in more than 50 or 60 house rentals around the world. (not to mention the welcomes from Beau the host dog, whom my 2-year-old had such a great time with)

Arenal house
Property managers are super nice and helpful. Helped us get an amazing day set up of zip lining. Property was beautiful. We loved it. The only thing we did not like is the ants but it is the rain forest and hard to control this issue. We made sure everything stayed in the fridge to cut down issues. Thanks for the amazing family time.

Amazing stay beautiful accommodations.
Had an incredible time staying at the guest house. Wonderful location and a beautiful well decorated home. So many activities to do on property with a pool and jacuzzi for some down time. A great trail to walk on and the hosts were extremely hospitable and helpful. They provided us with a huge variety of movies to watch and the beds were so comfy. They helped us find the Toucans in the trees and identified the sounds of the animals we heard. Everything about this place exceeded our expectations including our hosts. I would give them over 5 stars if I could.

We had a very relaxing vacation. The property was better than advertised. Everything you need is provided. Tourist attractions are within a short driving distance or you can just relax at the house. The owners were readily available at the adjacent house. We really enjoyed talking to them. We enjoyed dining at the local restaurants which are a short drive from the property. You will need a vehicle with some ground clearance to acces s the property as the road is rough.

Cozy cottage in scenic and quiet area
The cottage was cozy and comfortable and we enjoyed out stay. The road up to the property is rough and gets quite muddy in the rain so need the extra clearance of an SUV. We spent most days out and about but enjoyed relaxing in the hammock and hot tub in the evenings. The kitchen is small and basic but sufficient for our self-catering needs.

Great local location. Well maintained property and very helpful hosts
Need a higher clearance vehicle to be on the safe side but once there the property was very nice. Everything was clean and very well maintained inside and out. Owners were very helpful even with finding some medicine for me (not related to anything in CR). The cat and dog were very friendly and like to follow you around. (They aren’t allowed in the house so no allergy concerns). Plenty to do nearby. Would definitely stay there again.

Awesome Property
We had a wonderful time here. The house is beautifully set on a mountain top with an outstanding view. Comfortable and equipped with everything one might possibly need. For sure one needs a tall vehicle 4x4 to access property as the entry hill is quite steep and roads leading to it are unpaved. This is part of the whole adventure !! Loved it.

Tico home a great experience!
Our family of 5 (my husband, myself and our 3 children in early-mid twenties) stayed at the Encantada for 4 nights in April, 2018. It was our first of 3 stops in Costa Rica and we were very pleased we started here. It was the most authentic, and least touristy spot we visited. The village of El Castillo was charming and we were pleased we decided to stay outside La Fortuna although we visited there twice to see the waterfall, hot springs, a coffee tour and do some shopping. Nita and Marty were incredibly helpful. We emailed several times before we arrived and they promptly answered all my questions and provided detailed directions that were great because we were driving from Liberia and got there just as the sun was setting. Nita will make recommendations and reservations for you at the various outdoor activity sites which we appreciated. The housed everything we needed, and felt very homey. You definitely need an SUV with 4 wheel drive as the roads in that area, including the path to the house, are not paved, very hilly and filled with potholes.

Great house with a view, well equipped kitchen, comfortably furnished and beautifully landscaped. Loved El Castillo area, less crowded than other lake and volcano towns. Don't miss the zip line at Sky Adventures! Most fun of the whole trip! Nita and Marty were helpful in planning activities and taking care of the property.

Tranquility and adventure!
Three couples, all in our 30s, stayed at the encantada guest house for 4 nights at the end of December 2017. The house is beautiful, secluded, clean, and spacious enough. There is sleeping space in beds for 5 people plus an inflatable mattress which was comfortable. We would highly recommend a higher clearance vehicle. The drive from Liberia is an adventure with a lot of twists and turns and the final road to the guest house was rough. Recommendations for activities Sky trek (zip line) Sky river drift (not for the faint of heart) Hanging bridges hike Hot springs (we went to los Lagos) Exploring the town of la fortuna La fortuna waterfall The guest house is located about 5 minutes from the sky adventure park and about 30 minutes from la fortuna. We bought some groceries to make meals but there are so many wonderful local restaurants I would recommend going out for as many meals as possible. There isnt much of a grocery store anywhere near the guest house. We ended up cooking all of our food for one lunch because there were so many recommended restaurants that wanted to try. If you are looking for tranquility combined with eco adventure, encantada is your place!

Relaxing Retreat
Nita was wonderful to work with! She answered emails right away and greeted us upon arrival. The home was perfect for the 5 of us! Nita did had a few extra touches we don't see at other places. She had a fresh pitcher of water in the refrigerator for us. When my teenage son did not want to share a bed with his friend, Nita pulled out the air mattress for us. There was no one staying the night we left so she offered us a late check out with no extra charge. She helped with reserving our activities. My family really liked repelling the waterfalls. I chose to stay "HOME" and get a massage by Mellisa (she was wonderful)! I do recommend a 4 x 4 to get up the hill to the home, you will need the ground clearance. Having a 4 x4 is also fun to river though the rivers with. This home is close to Zip Lining and Hot Springs and other fun activities. We enjoyed this small community with a few Restaurants (Jon's Pizza and Howler's were a few of our favorites and we found the new restaurant (Can't remember the name) just down the road from our home had the best service. You can't be in a hurry in Costa Rica. EVERY restaurant we went to, we had to tell them we were ready for the check. You must got to one of the Hot Springs the "Free" spot was a fun experience , but the resorts are so nice. I have been to Tabacon in the past and it was amazing, however I feel it is way over priced. Nita recommend a very nice Hot Springs that only cost $15pp. $28.00 includes a dinner buffet. We all enjoyed the water slides and swimming and soaking in warm water. You won't be disappointed if you chose to stay at this home.
