Relax in this modern mountain cabin surrounded by nature in the hills of Zarcero. From the terrace you can watch mist move across the valleys and enjoy wide mountain views that, on clear days, may reach the Gulf of Nicoya and even Arenal Volcano in the distance. Sunsets here are magical. As the air cools after 5 pm, light the fire pit, grab a warm drink or a glass of wine, and enjoy the peaceful mountain atmosphere.

The space
Imagine waking up in a cozy mountain cabin surrounded by fresh air and green landscapes in the hills of Zarcero. This charming cabin was built in solid concrete with high ceilings wrapped in rustic wood, sourced from trees planted many years ago by grandfather “Bando”, giving the space a warm and authentic character.

Inside, the cabin combines comfort with thoughtful design. A beautiful brick wall adds character to the living area, while the balcony doors allow you to open the space to the terrace and let in natural light and mountain views.

The cabin features two comfortable bedrooms. The main bedroom offers a Queen bed, while the second bedroom includes a bunk bed with a Full bed and a Twin bed, making the space ideal for couples, families, or small groups.

Both bedrooms include Smart TVs with Chromecast (Netflix, YouTube, and more) and blackout blinds to ensure a restful sleep.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a 24" ceramic cooktop, refrigerator, essential appliances, and cookware for guests who enjoy preparing meals during their stay.

In the evening, you can enjoy a movie or step outside onto the terrace and relax around the warmth of the gas fire pit (available as an optional service).

The spacious terrace is often one of guests’ favorite spots — perfect for reading, remote work, enjoying a morning coffee, or simply taking in the peaceful mountain surroundings.

"Many guests tell us that the terrace ends up being their favorite place in the cabin."

Guest access
Only 1.5 km from the town center of Zarcero, with easy access via car or local taxi. You’ll find restaurants, cafés, and markets nearby.
The cabin includes free private parking suitable for all vehicle types.

Pet Policy

Due to the compact size of the space and the type of furnishings used to maintain a consistently clean and comfortable environment for all guests, we are unfortunately unable to accommodate pets in this unit.

We truly appreciate your understanding.

If you are traveling with a pet, feel free to ask us about our pet-friendly cabin option near this location.

Water Supply in Rural Areas

Our property is located about 400 meters lower in altitude than the center of Zarcero, where the main municipal water lines are connected.

On rare occasions throughout the year, maintenance or damage to the main pipeline may temporarily affect water service in the area.

To help manage these situations, the property is equipped with a 2,500-liter reserve water tank, which allows us to continue providing water while service is restored.

During these moments we kindly ask guests to use water responsibly for essential needs until normal service returns.

A Living Rural Environment

Our cabins are located in a real rural community surrounded by nature.

While we maintain quiet-hour guidelines and encourage respectful stays, guests may occasionally hear:

• sounds from neighboring homes
• nearby animals such as roosters, cows, or dogs
• natural countryside sounds, especially at sunrise or sunset

These are part of the authentic rural experience that makes Zarcero special.

We do our best to provide a peaceful and comfortable stay, but some of these elements are part of the natural environment and outside of our control.

We sincerely appreciate your understanding and are always happy to assist with anything you may need during your stay.

Pro Tip for Guests

This cabin is best suited for guests looking for a relaxing nature getaway, rather than a party or nightlife environment.
