Penthouse in the jungle

On our secluded private 172 hectare Wildlife / Rain Forest Reserve 1200 meters above La Suiza, Turrialba, sits our 360 degree hexagonal off the Grid Glass House surrounded by peace, tranquility, birds and volcano views. Many guests in the past said they were so very happy just being in the glorious high ceiling house appraising majestic views of the Volcan Turrialba & valley, Pacuare, Chirripo, & Talamanca mountain ranges + our own rain forest canopy. Hike, Ride, Swim, Bird watch, Fish, Relax !

The space
Huge loft like elegant glass hexagon house with panoramic views situated at the end of a rural road with no power lines or vehicles passing through. We have wifi and solar panels for electricity. It can sleep 1 as it can sleep 10. Breakfast items are provided or we can make it for you if alerted with time. Should you want lunch or dinner, it can also be arranged as long as sufficient notice is given. We are excellent cooks! Early dinner or late lunch at $25 per person served family style. Your group will be the only ones in the main house level. Swimming at our private emerald pond surrounded by rain forest is an amazing experience that is just a 5 minute walk from the house! Gracious and fun horseback riding on our own well trained Pinto, Quarter horse or Costa Rica step horses and guided hikes on our reserve where you will not see other humans and fishing are available at a fair extra charge. Wonderful and exclusive Pacuare River white water rafting trips can be arranged with experienced guides and are highly recommended. The Pacuare River is among the 10 most cleanest rivers in the world. The days are warm, but the nights are chilly thus the fireplace. Hot water in both volcanic stone bathrooms and the 2 bedrooms on main level are very large with excellent views and bedding. If your group is 5 or more, you get full use of the downstairs with 3 beds and bathroom also with excellent views! No shoes in the house please! Only socks or slippers!
