About The Owner

Your hosts, Norm & Collie came to Costa Rica from the Seattle area about four years ago. Collie retired from a nursing career, and Norm was, most recently, a computer network engineer, and prior to that owned and operated a custom cabinet shop in Seattle. While planning their retirement home, they decided on a separate cottage for visiting friends and relatives. As construction progressed, they decided to share their corner of paradise. This is not a large commercial development. You'll be the only guests on the 4 1/2 acre mountain top estate.

A Room With a View

Our three day stay was very enjoyable. The views from the veranda were spectacular overlooking the mountainous valleys down to the ocean. Beautiful hardly describes the sunsets. Overall the casita was a great place to stay with plenty of space for two people. A great bedroom, spacious bathroom with oversized shower and excellent living room area. The kitchen was adequate and the only criticism I have, which is minor, was the refrigerator was too small. Our hosts (owners of property) were welcoming, helpful and generous with their time. Overall I highly recommend this casita.

San Ramon Casita

We stayed as the wonderful one bedroom casita, and were welcomed by the lovely owners, who provided us with flowers on the table and warm banana bread. The kitchen cupboard was stocked with staples to start our one week stay, and the owners were always available to address our questions and concerns. We were provided with a detailed map of the town of San Ramon, including recommended restaurants and points of interests.
The casita was clean and nicely furnished, the patio provided extraordinary views, and the property had hiking paths.
It was a wonderful addition to our month's stay in Costa Rica. We would recommend this lovely getaway to any who enjoys nature and its beauty.

Peace and Tranquility

5 of 5
Submitted: January 28, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
There are times in our lives when we need to retreat, regroup and replenish the soul. Norm and Collie’s casita was the perfect choice. The casita provided an unobstructed view of the Costa Rican Central Valley all the way to Puntarenas, the coast and across to the Nicoya peninsula. At night, the lights from the towns and small cities of the Central Valley twinkled below and provided a unique perspective of the Costa Rican lowlands. That alone would have been enough to recharge our batteries, but we also were surrounded with butterflies, hummingbirds, a flock of gray-headed Chacalacas and many other species that we were not able to identify. Norm and Collie were a wealth of information and assistance in locating the best places to shop, local restaurants that were good, and provided easy directions to local sites, such as the Botanical Garden’s, and the Spider Monkey Rehabilitation and Release Program.

The property is located approximately 15 minutes outside of San Ramon, off of a paved road and at an elevation of approximately 5200 feet. The road was good, very picturesque, but windy. The days were warm and sunny and the evenings were cool and required a jacket or warm sweater. Norm and Collie have an excellent DVD library (1100 plus) and provided ready access to the movies that we requested.

We really enjoyed our stay in Norm and Collie’s casita and recommend it for anyone looking for a retreat with easy access to wonderful San Ramon. During the day you can take advantage of touring and visiting the local sites, towns and villages and retreat in the evenings to quiet solitude.

The "casita" is a beautiful little construction separated from the main building and private. The view of the valley, up to caribbean coast, when clear, is incredible. You can walk in the property, along several short paths, among beautiful trees, flowers and birds.
You can read in the veranda with the view of the ocean, 30 miles away, with only the sound of the wind and the chirping of the birds.
The perfect place to relax.
Norm and Collie are perfect hosts.

Owner's Response: Thanks so much for your kind words; we’re thrilled when our guests enjoy their stay in our casita. However, let me correct an error of geography. The Caribbean isn’t visible from here. Our view is of the Pacific and Gulf of Nicoya, which is 30 miles away (as the crow flies).
