Photos and Description of the Volcano Arenal vacation house rental Enchanting 2 BR, 1 BA Rainforest Mountain House

Your own Costa Rican private hilltop house located 25 minutes from the town of La Fortuna and Volcano Arenal. This beautiful retreat is about 2 and 1/2 hours from San Jose (main airport) and about 3 hours from the Pacific beaches. This well-built and locally decorated home sits on a hill overlooking its own tropical fruit and flower garden. Just beyond the exotic garden are beautiful horse pastures, a whitewater river and the jungle of the federally protected Children’s Eternal Rainforest which offers endless hiking trails and birding opportunities. Wake up to the magical sounds of the Costa Rican Rainforest (howler monkeys, gentle rain, and the songs of over 123 species of birds seen on-site). Brew a pot of locally grown fresh Costa Rican Café, and step out onto the large deck to enjoy the 270° view and lounge in one of the 2 hammocks provided.

Further details for this vacation house rental in Volcano Arenal, Costa Rica

This house is very peaceful and remote yet it has the wonderful feature of being within walking distance to the ecotourist destination Chachagua Rainforest Hotel. This unique setting offers total privacy with all the comforts of a first class lodge. The conveniences offered by the hotel include: English-speaking staff on property at all times, cell phones in case of emergencies, night watchman, laundry, restaurant serving delicious local Costa Rican cuisine, fully stocked bar, beautiful outdoor swimming pool, massage therapists, orchid garden, live butterfly house, access to rainforest hiking trails, rental horses and tours. We consider this to be the best of both worlds: the security and convenience of a hotel yet the quiet remoteness of a private home. The house has 2 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a nice queen size bed and its own porch with superb views. The guest bedroom has two beds, one double and one twin.

There is 1 bathroom with beautiful private shower that overlooks rainforest. Colorful hand painted murals cover three of the walls within the house and illustrate forest scenes (done by a talented local artist). There is a great kitchen with all the tools to cook a healthy meal. There is also a family room that opens up to the best porch in the world. The house is an awesome place to relax. Guests can spend countless days just sitting in the hammocks, eating fresh fruit and watching the toucans, parrots, hummingbirds and countless birds that visit the garden at the house. Not only is the house a great place to chill out, but it is in an ideal location to use as a home base when you go on adventures.

Things to do in close by La Fortuna are: Watch lava flow from the crater of Volcano Arenal (one of the most picturesque volcanoes), visit a 100ft waterfall (Catarata La Fortuna), bathe in natural hot springs, fish and windsurf on Lake Arenal, whitewater raft, explore the Volcano Arenal National Park, take a wildlife/bird tour to Cano Negro, go on a caving tour, dine at many restaurants, dance at the local discothèque (Volcan Look), get cool souvenirs, get money from an ATM, or use the internet. Also, you are less then a 4 hour drive to a variety of nice beaches on the Pacific coasts as well as the enchanting cloud forests of Monte Verde. The Caribbean coast is only about 5 hours away. Whatever your questions might be about the house, general area, or Costa Rica, I would love to answer them. I lived in this friendly and peaceful community for a year when I first went to Costa Rica in 1998 to be an English Teacher.

We stayed here in 2004 and loved every minute. If you are a bird watcher, this is such an awesome place to see lots of great birds - especially ones particular to the higher elevations. Toucans and parrots fly right over the house! A hike through the nearby (walking distance) rain forest will certainly provide you with some new "life" birds. Any nature lover will totally dig this place.

We really enjoyed our stay in this house in rural Costa Rica. The house itself is very comfortable, quiet, and relaxing. The caretakers are very helpful. We really got a sense of the daily rhythms of life in this part of the country. The surroundings are beautiful, with a great view of the rainforest from the balcony. The area around La Fortuna and Arenal has a lot to offer, and many opportunities and adventures are within a short drive. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to get off the beaten track!

We had a great time at Casa Miramontana on our first trip to Costa Rica. We could not have found a better place to be close to all the activities in the Arenal area. The natural beauty is breath-taking and being right next to the Chachagua Rainforest Hotel is definitely a plus (we enjoyed the pool!). Everytime we drove through the gates, we were reminded of Jurassic Park.

We stayed here for a month. The house is wonderful. The owner has provided everything you need for your family. The views are incredible. You can sit on the deck and see all kinds of birds. Also great are the people you will meet. The owner has made friendships with some wonderful Ticos who will make you feel very welcome. My recommendation is that you rent a car because the only place you can walk to is the beautiful hotel, but you will need groceries!

Review Submitted: June 4, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2007
Ryan's home is a gem! My fellow travelers and I were in need of some peace and quiet, and this was absolutely perfect. Beautiful views, lots of wildlife, space to roam (I loved the hiking near the house), hammock-sitting, and friendly, helpful folks nearby. The house is beautiful, well-maintained, super clean...we felt right at home. And the shower is amazing!!

We ventured into La Fortuna via walking, taxi-ing, and hitchhiking, and we wished we had listened to Ryan when he advised us to rent a car. We went on a guided trip to Volcano Arenal and Baldy Hot Springs. The hot springs felt a little like Disney World after our "off-the-beaten path" couple of weeks in the country, but we enjoyed ourselves still.

Ryan was super helpful from the very beginning of our trip planning. His customer service is impeccable. And his passion for Costa Rica is contagious; he inspired us throughout all of the trip-planning, and his recommendations can be totally trusted.

I can't wait to go back.
