Earth house vacation rentals in Alajuela Province

Even if you’re not a LOTR fan this is a great property, very nice and quiet. Beautiful place, and a very visible night sky, very much worth the 20-30 minute drive down a very bumpy road from town. Only note, if you’re sensitive to light in the morning, bring a sleeping mask or you’re up with the sun.

This home is simply incredible, far better than I could have imagined. It was clean, fresh, and the perfect respite from the ordinary. Finding the location was super simple, and the personal greeting from Juan Carlos upon arrival was so lovely, as we got to meet the fabulous artist of such a divine home! It really is a masterwork full of love and thoughtful detail! I loved the rain at night, and the bright morning sunrises with all of the windows open to listen to the sounds of nature surrounding us. I loved that the home was tucked away enough to feel some space from the world, but easy enough to drive out for day tours and adventures. Juan Carlos has taken exceptional care of his home, it has everything you need to happily kick back and enjoy your vacation. 💛 Thank you Juan Carlos for sharing your home with us, for your excellent local recommendations, and readiness to help with anything throughout our stay.

Had an amazing stay with Angelica, who welcomed us with open arms. The place which she built herself is truly magical. The breakfast she served us was delicious and the discussions we had were inspiring. There is plenty to do around the place, thermal pools, hikes in the forest, swimming in waterfalls and more. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a hidden gem, isolated from tourist crowds!

This was a sweet spot nestled in the jungle with a great porch and a lower patio next to a stream. The road isn’t terribly far away, but any road noise was pretty much drowned out by the stream. The grounds of the place were nicely maintained. The kitchen was more fully equipped than most that we’ve stayed in during our trip to CR. We were able to walk out to dinner and El Salto rope swing was a short drive away (probably walkable, but we did it on the way into town). Our stop here was quick and we would have enjoyed more time getting to know the place.

Kris and Marie are such lovely hosts that they have to be mentioned first! These guys are authentic, helpful, open minded and friendly so that we enjoyed every chat with them. They built the house with their own hands and you'll see it in every single detail. It is so cozy and the environment and the view from the kitchen and the terasse is stunning! It's absolutely with it to spend more time at this place then just sleeping at night and having breakfast. By the way the breakfast is sooo delicious and Kris and Marie were always flexible regarding earlier times or special dishes for our baby 😊 We also loved their sustainable and modern approach for everything they do. Thx Kris and Marie for the beautiful time at your amazing place! Carsten, Lena & Lou

Ria’s place was away from the crowds and so lovely. The wood work and crafted furniture was so special in the setting of the bamboo and adobe. Loved it.

We share the really positive impressions of other guests: a well-designed, convenient, immaculate, and really comfortable place to spend a few days exploring La Fortuna and surrounds. The Arenal Rooms complex is just five minutes walk to the La Fortuna town square, but feels quite secluded. Detailed and very clear check-in instructions, suggestions for local restaurants, the ease and reasonable cost of having laundry done, as well as the very well-designed interior and exterior space of the unit, all made it one of our most favorite recent AirBnb stays. There are really no quibbles: we feel confident saying that anyone who chooses this place will be happy with the decision.

Fantastic way to end the celebration of 40 years of marriage. The Hobbit House was just like Tolkien would have wanted it!!

We loved our one night in the Egg. After landing at Liberia at 2, we arrived just as it got dark. The egg structure is incredible! Such a fun unique space, and the bed is incredibly comfortable. We were impressed by how pleasant the morning light was inside and grateful for the ac unit. The access to the Rio Celeste is unparalleled. We had a lovely breakfast with a trio of sweet dogs to greet us, and then we lost track of time enjoying the milky turquoise waters. Our one regret is not staying longer. We’d absolutely come back!
