"Absolutely loved the property! Had amazing menu items for breakfast, lunch and dinner. My cabin was super cute and clean. It was so quiet that all I heard while lying in bed were howler monkeys, birds and tree frogs. The staff was so helpful and knew me by name. They even made me a sandwich for a hike I was going on for the day! Horseback riding was a blast and was reasonably priced. Wifi in the common area worked great. My only suggestions would be Wifi in the cabins and hot water but those are extremely minor details for me. The road was a bit rough to get there but that's just Costa Rica. Absolutely would highly recommend this property 100%. It was exactly what I needed, a break from everything!"

"Great little homebase for Bijagua area. Not walkable to anywhere, but only a five minute drive into the town. Probably the cleanest place I've ever stayed in my life. Air conditioning worked great. Very friendly. "

"Staying in this VRBO was by far the best place we’ve ever stayed at!! The home itself overlooks Lake Arenal, and is surrounded by a tropical rain forest. Each morning two amazing toucans would be in the tree right beside the balcony. We watched them eat, and we were able to get beautiful pictures of them. Many other birds and critters also were sighted from the balcony. The house itself is a work of art built over 25 years by the owner himself. Each morning we feasted on a fabulous full breakfast (included in the price), made by Mar and another young woman. They made us fruit smoothies, scrambled eggs, sausages, pancakes, fresh fruits- really- a scrumptious feast! They also cleaned the house each day. Patrick was so helpful in helping us choose and reserve the activities we did each day. (Plus he would make sure the hot tub was heated by the time we returned.) It was a pleasure to talk with him and learn about the area. Each evening we all enjoyed the common living area where we read, some watched football, worked on a puzzle, etc. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay for a longer time! We hope to return someday."

"This place was amazing. The food was incredible. I highly recommend the chocolate tour. This is a very quiet spot. I will return."

"Neat spot with lots of artistic charm. Monica and Rob were very accommodating."

"Beautiful place. Decent value and good breakfast."

"Perfect. Only been in Costa Rica 2 days and to stay here sets the bar level very high if you like wilderness in a very homely, space-like environment!"

"I can't say enough wonderful things about this property! All I kept saying to the staff was that the photos and descriptions on the internet didn't do it justice! The grounds are absolutely gorgeous, it was like being transported to a magical garden land or something! I loved the property so much that I actually cancelled my full day excursion so I could have more time at the property. Everything is clean, well-taken care of, the food is delicious, and the staff and owner are so friendly and helpful! It's a wonderful place to relax, unwind, enjoy a beautiful view, and truly disconnect! If you have a lot of activities planned in La Fortuna, allow for about an hour to an hour and a half of drive time to get from Hotel Mystica into town. "

"Great staff. Our room was very nice and clean. Also helpful with any recommendations you might want. Definitely 5 stars"
