Blue Sky luxury home is just a 5 minute stroll to the village center and top restaurants, cafes, shops and yoga classes. You can find fresh fruits, vegetables and flowers at the local shops everyday.

Head down to the lake and the Tzankujil Nature Reserve for a swim, nature walk and to hire kayaks. A fabulous way to enjoy and explore the lake!

Beautiful Blue Sky
Blue Sky is pure serenity. A beautiful nest in a magical garden. Everything about Blue Sky is delightful, especially Maura, Marce, and Jose who assisted my family daily with our wonderful 9 day stay… from cooking, preparing food, sauna, car rides/tours, cleaning. Pure joy. Thank you with all my heart, would love to return to Blue Sky. Xx

This home is absolutely gorgeous. The stunning floor to ceiling windows let in natural light and a beautiful view of the lake. The only reason for 4 stars over 5 is that we found the beds to be too firm for our comfort.

Special Property in a Lake-Village Setting
This property is all it is advertised to be and is situated in the midst of all-aspects of village life. The pictures on the site do a nice job of capturing the splendid views and open floor plan of the home. If anything, the windows open more than you might imagine to lessen the distance between inside and outside. The arrangements and execution of two dinners and one breakfast prepared for us in the home were highlights of our four days there. If you have not stayed in a small village before, know that the roosters and dogs will make their presence known at various times of the day or night. Likewise, we were not expecting village-wide music and a couple of town meetings to complete our authentic and immersive village experience. On reflection, this is real village living, not primarily a tourist setting.

About the host

Hosted by Maura Sacach

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Maura Sacach and I am the loving owner of Blue Sky luxury home. I was born in San Marcos La Laguna, Lake Atitlan and am the daughter of a large Kaqchikel family who reside in the mountainside of our home village. This house that I share with you carries my heart and soul. I have personally managed the design, construction and decoration of my home since 2017 and it has been quite a journey! I couldn't have done this without the support, vision and creativity of many local craftsmen and women, to whom I give deep thanks and offer credit within this property publication. Thank you all! I am currently living in Atlanta, Georgia, USA and I return to my home in San Marcos La Laguna with my husband, daughter and son during the summer and Christmas vacations. I am offering my home to be enjoyed by other families and groups of conscious beings during the time that I am in the USA. Blue Sky is my Guatemalan home and sacred place. It is therefore so important for me to share my property with guests who treat this space with love, respect and great care. I welcome you and will be delighted to assist with any questions that you may have about my luxury home, extra services available and your stay in San Marcos La Laguna. Many Blessings. Thank You! Gracias! Maltiox!
