Photos and Description of the Boquete vacation cottage rental
Cottage, Studio, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2)

Enjoy paradise in this darling 'casita' situated on the grounds of one of the most admired private properties in downtown Boquete.

The cozy, comfy and convenient one-room guest cottage sits behind a charming wrought iron gate overlooking a beautiful bubbling stream.

The 'casita' is stocked with mini-fridge, microwave, toaster-oven, electric kettle and coffee maker - the basics for preparing breakfast or a light meal.

Walk to language school, restaurants & cafes, shopping, golf course, eco-touring, transportation! Or just hang out in the hammock, listening to the running stream.

The setting is perfect for a romantic weekend, a week of Spanish language immersion, or a longer visit to explore all of the region.

If you are considering a move to Panama, your hosts would be happy to answer questions and give you some 'insider' tips.

If you wish, you can arrange to take a course in silk painting and polymer clay with Barbara, an artist/teacher at her studio, The Blue Door, in Boquete. You may also wish to take one of Mort's artisan bread baking classes, using the wood fired clay oven.

We and Maggie, our sweet Labradoodle, look forward to welcoming you as our honored guests.

Most Beautiful Property in Boquete!

5 of 5
Submitted: May 14, 2013 Stayed: May 2013
We just returned from 3 nights in Boquete with Mort and Barbara and are already planning our return! The Casita, albeit compact, is ideally situated on by far and away the most beautiful and convenient location in Boquete! The sound of the rushing creek and the incredibly lush landscaping make you feel like you are in a remote resort, but, in fact, you are mere blocks from the best restaurants (Olga's for breakfast!), sights, tour operators, markets, and...sigh.....affordable spa treatments at Isla Verde. The hosts have taken great care to provide everything you could conceivably need in the Casita, including the insider manual on where to go and what to do once there. Everything about the rental description was on point, including welcome tea and cookies upon our arrival and a loaf of Mort's home made bread made fresh for the Tuesday market. The mountain breeze and low humidity make Boquete a refreshing alternative to other destinations in Panama. We will definitely return for much longer next time in a season when we could take better advantage of the endless hiking and white water rafting and enroll in the nearby Spanish Immersion School.

Delightful casita

We loved our little home in Boquete, and loved Boquete. The accomodations were exactly as described, very clean and comfortable. Everything we could have wanted was supplied, and the hosts were friendly and full of good ideas and suggestions. The location was wonderful--within walking distance of the town park/square, restaurants, grocery stores, and fruit/vegetable markets. The area is a great place to explore, and those without a car can visit any of the nearby tour companies or hail a taxi to visit the surrounding area and its attractions.

This place was absolutely lovely, as were our hosts, Barbara and Mort. The location and setting of the one room cottage couldn't be better for anyone who wants to be in the centre of town - it was a block from the main street of Boquete, but felt a world away - set behind a gate covered in colourful bougainvillea, in a pretty garden and beside a small,fast flowing river. Walking distance to restaurants and grocery stores. The cottage is clean and well appointed room with a mini fridge, microwave and toaster oven (which came in very handy for breakfast and our late night snacks). Barbara and Mort were great hosts - extremely welcoming and very helpful. We really enjoyed our stay here.

This little one bedroom cottage was perfect for our 6 day stay in Boquete. Barb and Mort were great landlords and helpful when we needed advise on what to do and where to eat. I would definitely stay here again.

Our favorite spot!

Submitted: January 23, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
My wife and I love Panama and have done a lot of traveling there. Without a doubt, the cottage is our favorite place to stay in the Boquete area. It is small, but very cozy. Comfortably decorated and located next to a small stream—we slept like babies. Downtown Boquete is two blocks away. Groceries, restaurants and access to travel adventures are all within walking distance. Barbara and Mort are excellent hosts. And we loved their dog, Maggie. We will be back!
