We had an amazing stay! The apartment had an amazing view, checking in and out was very simple. Easy access to great hiking trails and the hosts were great. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back!
We loved our stay at Esteban's place! The drive to get there is not for the faint of heart, but it is well worth it. Definitely aim to get there before dark and be sure to follow the directions sent by the host. The views are spectacular and the accommodations are very comfortable. That would have been enough, but the very best part for us was how much we enjoyed getting to know Esteban and his family! Esteban is such a warm and welcoming host! We had such a nice stay.
We had an excellent stay! The host was incredibly responsive, kind, and made sure everything was smooth from check-in to check-out. The apartment was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as described. It was perfect and the space had everything we needed for a relaxing visit. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this host and apartment to anyone looking for a great experience.

Thank you SO much for your kind words, they mean a lot to us!
Room was clean. Property is beautiful with all the fresh fruits trees and herbs. The host are welcoming. Listening to mother nature sing me to sleep at night was beautiful and soothing. Breath taking views everywhere. Thank you so much for letting us stay!
The apartment is very charming and the hosts are lovely and helpful. The location is great. You feel like you are off the beaten path in the rainforest, but it's not too far from Luquillo and hiking. Our only complaint is that the bed was quite hard. I usually like a firm mattress, but this was too hard even for me. I found sleeping on the futon more comfortable.
Our hosts were helpful in finding dwellings which are located up in the hills of the rainforest. We had the upper level bungalow with a roof top terrace. The views over the valley are breathtaking. At night you can see the glow of SanJuan in the distance. Simple kitchen good for light meals as we enjoyed tranquil nights to the call of the coqui (forest tree frog). Here you are centrally located and an hour drive to many attractions, El Yunque main entrance, Luquillo Beach, Fajardo, Palmas Del Mar! Esteban and his wife were gracious host! Highly recommended location!!!!

The best views ever!
We loved staying in this little hideaway gem! The hosts were very accommodating and gracious, and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. With the light showers in the morning we saw the most awesome rainbows, sometimes even double rainbows!!! We were happy to have rented a car, so we could visit the area, go to the city or the beach. Loved it and will come back!

We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us and that you were able to see the "Good Luck" double rainbows.
We enjoyed sharing with you and building great memories about your travels around the world. Next time make sure you plan to visit the nearby rainforest trail and the wonderful cascades and ponds hidden in the forest. Looking forward to seeing you again!!!
Esteban and his wife offered the perfect rainforest getaway for this VRBO property. Fun location within the National Forest bounds. The apartment is beautifully designed. Also clean as a pin. Nature is everywhere. I’m greatful to have had this experience.

Thank you SO much for your kind words, it was really great to meet and chat with you!
Esteban was a wonderful host! He was very communicative, accommodating, kind, and welcoming. After flight cancellations and a traveling experience from HELL last week, VRBO gave me the worst customer service I’ve ever dealt with. Esteban made up for it and was super helpful, this guy rocks!
There’s no word to describe this place enough. For me it has not only been an amazing experience ,but also a very spiritual one. The view is outstanding! The peace is priceless. I really thanks the owners for letting us stay . If you are looking for peace and quiet , this is the place. Very healing ! Thanks
The property is stunning. The gardens are beautiful (thanks Magdalena). The views from the terrace are amazing. Every night we fell asleep to sounds of the coquis. The place was clean, well-appointed, and tastefully decorated. The bathroom is perfect. The owner, Esteban, is very attentive. He provided great tips for exploring the Yunque and the casita also had a chalkboard with recommendations for places to visit. Don’t rely on the GPS to get there! Make sure you read the message from the host that’s sent the night before check-in for details on how to arrive. That tip was very helpful. Otherwise, it was super easy to find. So much to explore right off of carretera 186. Gracias, Esteban, por todo!

Michelle and her friend Jackie were excellent guests, it was wonderful to host them.
First, they were super simpáticas and with very very nice vibes. They were quiet, relaxed, polite, respectful and left the apartment in very good conditions.
They are welcome back anytime again!
The perfect location, the most gracious hosts, and a gorgeous home. The perfect trip in all respects
We had a great time staying in this El Yunque bungalow. The property was stunning, and the bungalow itself was cozy and had a kitchen with everything we could need, a bedroom with AC (which we didn't need/use), a very nice bathroom, and the perfect little roof to take in the views. Our hosts were gracious, welcoming, and full of helpful tips and advice. I would recommend this trip to anyone--and am likely to return.

Beautiful location, marvelous hosts
We enjoyed our stay here very much. The property is gorgeous and very well-maintained. You will have your choice of extreme relaxation and solitude or adventures galore within El Yunque and the surrounding area. Beaches are a short drive away; ALL is a short drive away! The journey up and down the mountain to come and go is an endearing adventure involving trust in your fellow man as well as the rental car's suspension!
Your hosts are lovely and unobtrusive - available if needed. Esteban is clearly passionate about sharing his home, and all it has to offer, with his guests. I know he loves his home, his family and his island; he wants everyone to enjoy the many offerings of Puerto Rico.
With every visit to this truly enchanted island, I find myself more and more envious of the culture which defines these lovely, loving, kind and friendly folks. We are blessed to have Puerto Rico as our friend, and we must treasure her. Esteban and his family are marvelous ambassadors.

Great way to experience the rainforest
Our family of 4 enjoyed staying in this guest house in the rain forest. We especially appreciated the comfortable beds, privacy, pool and being able to prepare most of our meals in the little kitchen. Esteban was a friendly and helpful host. We feel lucky to have been able to stay here!

Welcoming hosts, peaceful Haven away from it all enjoying nature! Gorgeous grounds!
We had an amazing stay for about a week in this rainforest bungalow. They had everything we needed from extra pillows to basic needs in the house. The two terraces were very private overlooking the city lights at night and had tables for us to eat. We saw several coqui frogs on the premises and enjoyed birds chirping.
Two min away was Toro trail. There were no tourists on this since it's no longer an official trail but was safe for us 3 including our 9 y.o. Also had local panderias 15 min from house in rainforest with great snacks. We tried to make sure we got home before 7 since it's a curvy dark road, but found roads 186 and 196 not bad. Well worth the drive up there.
We asked our hosts if we could get married just us on their terrace. They were happy to let us and the space was big enough outside for our minister Ogla and photographer. It looked like it was going to rain so they let us use their personal terrace with a roof and we had a lovely ceremony over the trees. I had the best pictures by their lit pool and well kept garden. My daughter even enjoyed playing with their daughter, and they shared some Of their great homemade cheese. They truly made us feel like we were on a secluded paradise for our wedding and honeymoon.

Amazing Experience
Everything was amazing about our stay here. Esteban and his wife were great hosts. They answered any questions we had and were friendly and fun to talk to. The guesthouse was a great experience. You're minutes away from the rainforest and the view from the property is amazing. You can see out onto part of the rainforest and even part of the city and shoreline in the far off distance. There's a nice private rooftop patio onto of the guest house that you can enjoy with privacy, a great spot for a drink and enjoying the view. Inside you get a kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. A very nice amount of space and amenities for the price, there isn't a better deal. The futon might be a bit small for four depending on their ages, that'd be my only caution. Everything else though was perfect and added a lot of memories to our honeymoon!

Amazing getaway in the middle of the rainforest!
Esteban and his family went above and beyond to welcome us and help us get the most out of our 3-night stay in El Yungue. He gave us pointers and directions to nearby sites, and we had a wonderful time exploring the rainforest and surrounding area. We were even able to find our own private waterfall and wading pools away from tourists. The bungalow is PERFECT, with everything you need to relax, cook, and feel at home. The views from the bungalow were breathtaking, and we enjoyed breakfast on the upper terrace every morning. This place is lovely, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the El Yungue region of Puerto Rico, relax, and get away from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding cities. We hope to return in the future! Thanks to Esteban and his family for the warm hospitality.

Beautiful and quiet stay
If you are looking for getting away from the busy life of the city... This is it! It's a beautiful apt/house deep inside the rain forest. Don't use Google.. or think you can wing it. Google maps is not well versed in Puerto Rico. Literally use the directions provided by the host and you'll be fine (which means stick to the 185 and 186 roads). The apt is very well equipped with pretty much any amenity you can imagine. I loved the thoughts that went into pretty much every corner of the place. The design is playful and beautiful! The host family is wonderful. I ended up talking to them in the afternoons and I felt I was part of their family. In terms of food, there is a small but well stocked grocery store near the 185-186 intersection. Just look for Supermercado on your Google maps and you'll find it. I ended up getting some good there and found some BBQ in the afternoon. I honestly wanted to get away from the city and feel calm. This place did it and was phenomenal! Coming back next year.
