Very quaint and private house. Spent the mornings drinking coffee and looking at the beautiful volcano. Easy communication with host for anything we needed. We even broke one of the keys and she was so helpful with the issue we caused. Sorry again. Would definitely stay here again.

We arrived and checked in and were told 1. Washing machine out of service, 2. Cabina bathroom was tricky but worked. Once we inspected the home, we discovered that the cabana bathroom in fact did not work during our stay.Additionally, there were plumbing issues, which the owner did their best to fix, but were not resolved. This included construction workers at the home during our stay for multiple hours. We also noticed there were several bugs in the home, but that might be a result of the location (bugs included cockroaches). Hosts were nice and tried their best - with quick responses. Kitchen equipment (oven did not get hot enough) also needs to be improved significantly.

Great Spot to Stay While You Explore

Magnolia House was a great location to have as a home base while exploring Costa Rica and the Arenal region. Great hosts that are responsive and happy to provide additional insight into the area.

Nice House

House was as described. A bit open to the elements, but overall clean. Guests do not have access to the laundry room, which was a bummer for us. Host was available. We had a few issues, such as a power outage, which was expected with the large storms we received. However when I asked how long outages typically last I was told that Costa Rica was “a 3rd World Country” and I should expect such events.

Beautiful little place on the outskirts of town

The property was gorgeous and well maintained. Rooms were nice and the air-condition works well. The location is too far to walk to most places in town, but plenty of room to park a rental car. Or if you prefer, Uber is quick, easy, and cheap. We had no issues getting an Uber within a few minutes in town. We also hired the private chef that works with the owner for one night. Absolutely amazing experience! You cannot stay here without trying it! Charlie and Annette were very professional, polite, and provided a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Perfect retreat for couples!

Super cute, cozy, and great location! This place is even better in person. We were a group of three couples traveling together. All had our own bedroom and bathroom, each with a shower. Beds were comfortable and AC worked great in the rooms. We loved the pool, the outdoor seating with big patio table

Great stay near La Fortuna

We really enjoyed our stay here. The place felt safe, private, and was a short drive from La Fortuna and the Arenal area. The pool area was a really nice retreat to relax between activities and was so peaceful for listening to the rain.
