Nature eco lodge vacation rentals in Bahía Ballena

Severine and her husband Mark were very friendly hosts. Our place on stilts was a dream come true and decorated with a lot of love. Delicious breakfast. Definitely recommend this place to our friends

If you want to have a getaway with some of the best views imaginable, this is the place to be! Jon is an excellent host and his home is beautiful, spacious, but most of all, truly tranquil. This was an amazing stay and hope to be back very soon!!!

Amazing place and great host!

This is “”THE” place if you are looking for living amidst nature, woken up by birds chirping and howls of the howler monkeys, to have the sounds of a flowing stream as your companion coupled with superlative customer services! It can become a little hot and humid in the tents during the day in rainy seasons but gets better by evening and night! We would love to be back!

A very nice and easygoing couple who were great to chat with! Thanks for hosting!

Chris was an excellent host, and the place was great.

San Agustín is beautiful, we loved getting to know the place, the cabin is very cozy, with some foggy sunrises, perfect for drinking coffee on the upstairs terrace overlooking the coffee plantation.

If you're looking for a wild place to stay this is it. The cabins are small with just the beds, and only have 3/4 walls. The place is located on top of the mountain and has an incredible view. Also very good restaurant with a very nice chef. I loved staying here, but keep in mind it's not your typical hotel room.

Amazing views, clean and special rooms and Francisca and Luca were very friendly hosts!

Rain ecolodge was extremely beautiful, I had a super relaxing stay and would go again 12 out of 10 stars

If you want a legit off the beaten path, authentic Costa Rican experience then I highly recommend this stay! The views from everywhere on this property are stunning. The way the sun hits the cliffs at sunset, the way the afternoon clouds move in - the sounds of the streams, the tilapia pond, the fresh potable mountain water - so many little things combine to make this stay really enchanting. The 2 cabinas on the property are quaint, simple, and immaculate. This place is ideal just to escape, but there are other things to enjoy as well. (Also the cell signal was surprisingly powerful enough to do work when I had to). The hosts know people who can take you on the tour of the coffee plantation, and those who can take you on a 3-hr hike up above the clouds to the peak of the picturesque cliffs, and those who can take you on a shorter hike to waterfalls. It was exciting to be able to pick out some trout in their little trout farm by their stream - and get to eat it for lunch. They showed us how to squeeze fresh juice from sugar cane they have on their property too. The complimentary breakfast that the hosts prepare is a full, typical, Costa Rican breakfast - virtually all locally-sourced food! What's also incredible is that you can enjoy this while having the amazing view...while drinking your coffee--whose very beans come from the fields across the ravine, in plain sight of where you sit. These people know the simple happy life and that's why we found this experience so unique - this is the first time I felt I had a truly wholesome Costa Rican experience out of all my trips to the country! (Couple things I wish I knew to bring: ponchos for rain hikes; warm sweater and pants for evening temps. PLUS: If you're coming in a rental car, be sure to rent a mini suv at the very least). And finally, the hosts Henry and Carol are incredibly kind, such great, genial people, and they're always at your service! This memorable stay was among my favorites in its simplicity, and I'm so grateful for its serene, transformative power too.
