Casa Tres Vistas- Luxury Lake & Volcano Retreat

Welcome to Casa Tres Vistas — a luxury lake and volcano retreat nestled in the cloud forest mountains near Nuevo Arenal, Costa Rica.

Designed to showcase breathtaking panoramic views of Arenal Volcano, Lake Arenal, and Lake Cote, every room in the home was intentionally created to connect guests with the surrounding natural beauty.

With luxurious indoor-outdoor living, a gourmet kitchen, dipping pool, fire pit, game room, Starlink WiFi, and spacious accommodations for up to 8-10 guests, Casa Tres Vistas offers an unforgettable blend of comfort, privacy, adventure, and tranquility.

Whether you are seeking a romantic escape, family vacation, trip with friends, or small retreat, Casa Tres Vistas is a place to relax, reconnect, and experience the magic of Costa Rica.

A HOME WITH UNMATCHED VIEWS & LUXURY AMENITIES

Casa Tres Vistas features an open floor plan surrounded by glass, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living with incredible views from nearly every space in the home. The house includes 3 spacious bedrooms and 3.5 modern bathrooms, thoughtfully designed for comfort, relaxation, and entertaining.

Two luxurious master suites feature King beds, ensuite spa-style bathrooms, large indoor/outdoor showers, and expansive sliding glass doors opening onto private patios with lake and volcano views. One suite also includes a beautiful outdoor soaking tub immersed in nature.

The downstairs bunk room comfortably sleeps 6 guests and includes a large ensuite bathroom, private patio, and direct access to a grassy lawn perfect for volleyball, badminton, yoga, or simply relaxing outdoors. This setup makes Casa Tres Vistas ideal for two families traveling together, groups of friends, or small wellness retreats.

At the heart of the home is the large gourmet kitchen, fully stocked with high-end appliances, cookware, and utensils. The oversized island seats 8 guests comfortably, while large pass-through windows open directly to the outdoor bar and dining area — perfect for entertaining, cooking together, or enjoying a cozy evening in.

ENTERTAINMENT & RELAXATION

The game room includes a pool table, dart board, Smart TV, queen sofa sleeper, and board games, providing entertainment for guests of all ages — especially during cool cloud forest evenings or rainy afternoons.

After a day of adventure, unwind in the dipping pool overlooking the surrounding mountains and lakes, or gather around the fire pit to enjoy cocktails, conversation, and marshmallows under the stars.

One of the home’s standout features is the expansive wrap-around patio with breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Cote, Arenal Volcano, and Lake Arenal. Enjoy morning coffee above the clouds, outdoor dining at sunset, or peaceful evenings immersed in the sounds of nature.

A NATURE LOVER’S PARADISE

Set in a peaceful and secluded cloud forest environment, Casa Tres Vistas is surrounded by Costa Rica’s incredible flora and fauna. Some mornings, you may literally wake up inside a cloud.

Guests frequently spot green parrots, toucans, hummingbirds, deer, tapirs, and other wildlife throughout the property and surrounding area. Natural walking trails on and near the property allow guests to fully experience the beauty and biodiversity of the Lake Arenal region.

MYSTICAL LAKE COTE

Lake Cote, located just minutes from the house, is a beautiful heart-shaped crater lake surrounded by rainforest and rich in local history and folklore. The lake is considered spiritually significant to the indigenous Maleku people and is also known for Costa Rica’s famous 1971 UFO/OVNI photograph taken by the National Geographic Institute.

Guests can enjoy paddle boarding, fishing, kayaking, or simply exploring this peaceful and magical destination.

A SPECIAL NOTE

Please remember that you are vacationing in one of Costa Rica’s lush mountain rainforest regions near the Continental Divide. Casa Tres Vistas sits at approximately 2,700 feet above sea level, where unique microclimates create constantly changing weather patterns and breathtaking scenery.

The area surrounding Nuevo Arenal features lush tropical rainforest landscapes and unique mountain microclimates that create the misty mornings, vibrant greenery, and incredible biodiversity the region is known for. Rain is part of the beauty here, especially during the greener months outside of December through April.

Some mornings you may wake up in a cloud, while nearby towns may be sunny and dry. Weather apps are often inaccurate in this region, and tours and activities typically continue rain or shine as long as conditions are safe.

We provide some umbrellas, rain jackets, mud boots, swim shoes, and other gear for guests to enjoy the area comfortably.

We recommend renting a small SUV-style vehicle for driving in Costa Rica and in this area specifically. A 4x4 vehicle is not required to access the home, but a higher-clearance vehicle such as a RAV4 is recommended. The final portion of the drive is on a well-maintained dirt and gravel road.

As with any tropical rainforest environment, you may occasionally encounter insects, especially if doors are left open or exterior lights remain on at night.

Brief power outages are uncommon but can occasionally occur in Costa Rica. We provide flashlights, candles, and backup battery support for essentials. Most importantly, our local team is always available should you need assistance during your stay.

We can’t wait to host you at Casa Tres Vistas and help you experience the beauty, adventure, and tranquility of Costa Rica.

Pura Vida!

Wonderful stay for our family!

The hosts were very responsive and helpful. We would book this stay again! It had everything we needed for our family of 8. The home itself is beautiful, clean and the attention to detail was very much appreciated. Its a 50 min drive to La Fortuna. The host provided a very detailed pdf on suggestions around the house - we gladly used all of them and it did not disappoint! We are so glad we booked!

30th birthday

My best friends and I stayed here for my 30th birthday and it was amazing. The villa was great! From waking up to the breathtaking views to come back to a spacious, luxury home after adventuring in Arenal and La Fortuna. It was one of the most memorable birthdays ever! I’m from New York and I can honestly say, this was a great recharge and I will 100% be coming back.

A weekend on the clouds

Casa Tres Vistas is an unforgettable retreat. Nestled in the cloud forest, the mist rolling over the volcano and lakes created a breathtaking, almost mystical atmosphere. The open design made it easy to enjoy the views, even when staying inside. The hot tub was a highlight—perfect for unwinding while watching the fog settle over the landscape. The home is beautifully designed, with luxurious beds, a well-equipped kitchen, and a cozy game room that made rainy nights fun. Despite the wet weather, the experience felt magical, and the peaceful setting made it easy to relax. The property is remote yet close enough to explore nearby attractions. If you’re looking for a place that blends nature, comfort, and a bit of adventure, this is it. You’ll have an incredible time. Pura Vida!

Absolutely stunning stay!

From the moment we arrived, the view took our breath away. It truly is a heaven being in the clouds and being able to see the volcano, the lakes, and the surrounding beauty. The house was in impeccable shape with tons of activities for kids and adults alike. The open style floor plan was both elegant and practical, and the outside hot tub was perfect for a relaxing end to the day. The cute town of Nuevo Arenal was just minutes away, and the German bakery had amazing treats and food. There were also little shops and restaurants, as well as a very conveniently located gas station. While the roads to get to the home were very costa rican, it was well worth it. The host was also very timely in her responses when we did have questions, and everything was easy and stress free. Lastly, the multiple beds and bathroom on the lower level, were not only comfortable, but a fun way to let the kids have their own space. Thank you so much for letting us stay and we will be telling all of our friends and family about it!

About the host

Hosted by Kelle Rich

Host profile image
Our family is originally from Austin, Texas, and we have lived full time in Costa Rica since 2018, splitting our time between the beaches of Guanacaste and the rainforest beauty of the Lake Arenal region.

We fell in love with Costa Rica’s natural beauty, warm culture, outdoor lifestyle, and slower pace of life. Casa Tres Vistas was created as a place to truly disconnect, relax, and experience the incredible scenery and tranquility that made us fall in love with this area ourselves.

We enjoy traveling, fitness, nature, boating, and exploring all that Costa Rica has to offer, and we love helping guests create memorable experiences during their stay.

Why they chose this property

Some friends discovered this land while out hiking several years ago, and the moment we visited, we knew it was something special. Standing here with panoramic views of the lakes and volcano, surrounded by nature and complete quiet, it instantly felt like home.

One of the things we love most is the privacy and tranquility. There are only four homes in the entire area, creating a peaceful retreat where you can truly relax, unwind, and connect with nature.

What makes this property unique

When you arrive at Casa Tres Vistas, you will immediately exhale, smile, and relax as you take in the breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Arenal, Arenal Volcano, and Lake Cote all at once. The scenery is so extraordinary that every room in the home was intentionally designed to capture the view.

Casa Tres Vistas offers exceptional privacy and tranquility, while still being conveniently located just minutes from the charming towns of Nuevo Arenal, Aguacate, and Rio Piedras for shopping, dining, and local culture. We are also only 15 minutes from one of Costa Rica’s most celebrated restaurants, Gingerbread, featuring the acclaimed Chef Eyal, and approximately 50 minutes from the adventure-filled destination of La Fortuna.
