Farmstay vacation rentals in Nicaragua

We loved our little jungle home. The place was very special. The beach and water were wonderful for the kids. Ramon and family were also very welcoming. The home got a little hot at night but we adjustment after the first night. Thank you for a wonderful stay

Everything during my stay went well. We checked in as per directions Rafael gave, he’s a very responsive host. The farm and house are gorgeous with views of the Volcano of Masaya wonderful sunsets and sunrises. There are goats and chickens that wander the farm, and various fruit trees which we picked from and tried. Rafael recommended places nearby that were amazing and worth experiencing. His home is rich with antiques from various countries and of a unique enjoyable taste. I loved staying here and if I plan a trip to Nicaragua again I’d stay here again and for even longer!

Amazing mountaintop villa. Very pretty surroundings. Ac at night was a blessing. Will be coming back. Only thing I would be careful of is very steep driveway to get up. Just have to be careful and make sure have a good vehicle

The setting was beautiful. Quiet at night with incredible stars as no light pollution. Make no mistake you’re in the jungle sharing space with the primary residents….birds, cane toads, and so many butterflies. Not luxurious but absolutely comfortable. Walking distance to great local restaurants and motorcycle rental. We had an awesome stay and highly recommend this rental.

We loved our stay at Finca El Socorro with Sara and Edgar. They made us feel right at home on their farm. Although there is a shared kitchen for cooking, we asked Sara to cook dinner for us each night and the meals were delicious. Each meal was US$10 and well worth it. The rooms are situated on a hill above the family home which meant we had amazing views of the mountains and a consistent cool breeze. The large porch was where we spent the bulk of our time talking, reading, playing games, and just enjoying the peace. Edgar speaks perfect English and gave us lots of information about his coffee plantation in addition to his dairy cows. We walked the property with the fellowship of Tres and Tonka, two very sweet and friendly dogs. Breakfast is included in the price and a great way to start the day. We did not have our own vehicle but Sara and Edgar helped us arrange whatever we wanted to do. The finca is 2.5km from Matagalpa on a steep hill so be prepared to walk up and down hills.

I've liked nearly all of the Airbnb places I've stayed at, but Michael's is very special in being not only just a place to stay – which is usually what you're looking for – but also a life experience. In the first place it's a farm all right, but nothing like what you ordinarily imagine a farm to be. Also, the mango trees constituting the farm are in a second field out to the back, so what the guest experiences is actually not the farm but – aside from the guest house, which is very attractively and comfortably fixed up – the roadside foodie operation manned by a substantial extended-family collective of Nicaraguans living on the property, with a charmingly personable Ukrainian student named Anton serving as the main chef, turning out exceptionally fresh plates of a regional Nicaraguan dish called a güirila, which you really should stop by and try even if you don't stay there. Michael himself is a fascinating person you'd want to know in any event, but rather than going into his personality I'll stick with the place and highly recommend it to anyone passing through the area. I'd say backpackers should stop over on their way to the lagoon (which they can reach from Michael's via bus or taxi), while people with cars might consider staying there for their whole time at Apoyo, unless they really want to overnight down on the water, or can't get by with the personal hotspot on their phone for Internet access.

great location and stay! thank you!

This location on the North-West coast of Nicaragua is really wonderful. Beautiful landscape, the nicest people & the Airbnb apartment on the compound is very stylish, with lots of local quality material, plus great terrace. Our stay with Fran & her 3 marvelous young sons (all play chess!) was heartwarming and her culinary expertise & charm is right how it should be on a farm-to-table location like this. If you're lucky you'll get spoiled with one of the smashing (very healthy!) dishes of this inspirational chef and cool Airbnb-host!

An excellent place, very quiet.

We spent 3 nights in this lovely Cabaña and wish we would have had more time there! The experience was absolutely amazing! :) Clean and cozy room, comfortable bed with mosquito net, super nice balcony, extremely lovely garden, and very friendly hosts. It felt like visiting close friends. Susanne cooks very good food (I am vegetarian and that was no problem at all), her husband likes to share stories about his life and their child is very cute. We did a chocolate tour with Susanne and made our own chocolate which was very interesting and so much fun! I also did horseback riding with them - friendly, well kept horse and nice surroundings for a ride. Susanne took us to the village several times and we were able to experience real Nicaraguan rural life. Would love to come back and would recommend this place 100%! By the way: Getting there was no problem at all: Just take the local bus to San Carlos and from there the bus to Sábalos stops right in front of the house if you tell them.

very nice, old, small house with everything you need! very nice, beaches very near! will come back one day!

The host was very helpful and responsive. Really pleased with how they handled us. We had a problem when we arrived because it was not mentioned you'll need a 4x4 car during heavy rains. There is a river close to the property that cannot be crossed with a normal car. The road is not paved all the way. The caretaker was very helpful and crossed us with their own truck, and arranged for one of our cars to be kept safely at someone near the river crossing. It stayed on the other side of the river during our entire stay, and was all good. The property holds true to it's name: "rustic". Don't expect luxury. It is has been build in true rustic style and is very nice for people who looks for this.

Finca Primavera is awesome. Very calm. The pool is amazing especially for our children, so we got long breaks to relax. Amazing walking path with beautiful Forrest. The local resident family was very kind as well, sharing fresh milk from the cow, playing with the puppies. We absolutely recommend!

The place is cozy with beautiful architecture that makes you feel comfortable safe and comfortable . It is a study house. to read a good book in their living room. to take photographs of the flora and fauna of the place. it has an interesting organic pool that should not be missed. that they enjoy

Very nice house to rest and vacation with the family,

It’s was amazing to stay here. The Rancho Santana service is grt and grt restaurant and club house. The surf was grt too.

It was a wonderful experience, Claudia house was beyond beautiful, the landscape and the surrounding were breathtaking. The house has a great open layout and the kitchen is super well equipped . This house was the ultimate tranquility place for those looking for peace and quiet. Some downsides were the beds were not very comfortable (too hard) and there was no TV anywhere in the house. We were hoping to do a movie night with our small children. Maycol the house keeper was very attentive and gave us a great introduction to the history of the property. Make sure you bring your snacks and food to cook as there is no supermarket near. Overall great stay. Thanks Claudia for opening your home to us

Staying at Apothefinca was a dream come true for our family. The guest house was an absolute gem, with so many little details that made our stay extra special. Lucy was very thoughtful and generous with her time, giving us a tour of the gardens and connecting us with local community to buy farm fresh eggs, sourdough bread, and more. My 5-year old daughter loved her dogs and chickens, and even got to hold some of the newly hatched chicks! I highly, highly recommend Lucy’s magical guest house to anyone who wants a nourishing and inspiring experience in Nicaragua.

I had a great time at this place, a mix of nature, good atmosphere and meeting lovely people! I would especially recommend this Airbnb! Congrats

Great location. Loved the outdoor veranda on the second floor for the views, lounging, socializing and eating. Such a peaceful setting.
