A SPECIAL NOTE:
Please remember that you are vacationing in the Cloud Forest. We are near the Continental Divide, and Costa Rica has many microclimates that create unique weather patterns. There will be rain :) The “dry-er” season is December–April. We provide rain boots, swim shoes, umbrellas and rain gear for most adults and some child sizes. There will also be wind; you will see beautiful windmills on the horizon over Lake Arenal. The house sits at 2,700 feet above sea level.
If you wake up in a cloud with rain, it does not mean you need to cancel your plans. It may be dry at the bottom of the road or in La Fortuna, and vice versa. Weather apps are not very accurate in this area. Tours and activities usually continue in the rain as long as conditions are safe. Just call your tour provider.
We recommend renting a small SUV-style car for driving in Costa Rica, especially in this area. You do not need a 4x4 to reach the house, but a higher-clearance vehicle such as a RAV4 is recommended. When you turn off the main paved road, it becomes a groomed dirt/rock road. Most of Costa Rica does not have traditional addresses, so we will send a location pin and detailed directions before arrival.
There will be bugs outside that may sometimes get inside, especially if doors are left open or outside lights are left on.
Brief power outages are rare but can happen in Costa Rica. We provide flashlights, candles and a backup battery for the refrigerator. While we cannot control these things, we have a full staff only a phone call away to help with anything you need.
We offer full concierge service. Our Property Manager, Patrick, will meet you and help with check-in. He can arrange adventure days, recommend the best places to shop and dine, and help plan activities before arrival or once you are settled into Casa Tres Vistas. If something happens and you need guidance, call Patrick. Consider him your “friend in the area,” ready to help make your stay personalized and unforgettable.
We can’t wait to host you at Casa Tres Vistas. Pura Vida!

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!

Thank you Monal! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay at Casa Trea Vistas! We would be happy to host you and your family again anytime.
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.

Thank you Anthony! We are so glad you enjoyed the house so much and had such a wonderful birthday. It truly is a magical place. We look forward to hosting you again, anytime!
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!
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!
