Charming, beautiful cabin.

The Butterfly House is a charming, beautiful cabin located in a secluded area surrounded by green forest. Only a short walk to streams and creeks. The cabin is 10 minutes' drive from downtown La Fortuna, where you will find plenty of restaurants and nightlife. This house is a perfect place to rest and relax in between the fun variety of tourist activities (rafting, hiking, horseback riding, hot springs and much more) available in La Fortuna and Arenal Volcano.

Amazing quiet place

The cabin was beautiful! The owner and team were so helpful and responsive and even let us use their laundry facilities. The air conditioning was nice and cool and the whole house was very comfortable. Would recommend!

One of a kind

Just lovely. Host was helpful - providing lots of ideas for things to do, places to eat. House was a perfect size and in the perfect location. We made breakfast a few mornings - the kitchen was all stocked and easy to use. Everything is so close and easy to access from this home. La Fortuna is magical - we will be back.

Do not hesitate to book this location if available. It was close to the city and to the volcano but in a suburban area. Just perfect for our family and safe.

Good quiet location

A few minutes out town, which was nice. Good a/c, which was needed in the hot, humid climate. Felt like we were locals, not tourists.

great spot if you have a car

We enjoyed our stay, the house was clean and had everything that we needed. It was not a location that you could walk to many places from so we would highly recommend that you have a car if you are going to rent this house.

Great experience!

The property was very clean! Anything questions we had were answered very quickly through WhatsApp. It was nice to know the owners are very attentive to your needs! It has everything we needed! It is about 10 minutes from town, but once you get used to the drive it gets easier. The road felt safe and no animals or critters came into the house (we were worried that might happen). Highly recommend this cute little place!

Perfect place to stay in La Fortuna!

This place was so amazing. It had all of the comforts of home, was nice and quite in a great neighborhood. It was close enough to participate in all of the tourist attractions and far enough away to give us the experience of living in the area. It was a great addition to our "Moving to costa Rica Exploration ".

Volcano view with birds

The cabin was so cozy. It is a easy drive to get to town for groceries or a meal out but also far enough out to be immersed in nature. We had everything we needed and more. I definitely hope to stay here again the next time I am in the area. Pura Vida!

Paradise

We absolutely loved our stay. It was a great place to relax, sitting on the porch reading or listening and seeing so many different kinds of birds. After touring during the day it was great to get away from the busyness of the town. The kitchen was well equipped to do some cooking as well.

Family trip in La Fortuna

We had a great stay—property was exactly as shown. An easy 10-15 min drive into town but felt much farther than that in a good way. Great A/C which was critical for us given the heat and humidity.host was very responsive and had great meal suggestions—our favorite was Harmony Restaurant which was very small and family owned…tried to go multiple times but happened to be in town two nights they were closed.

Short but sweet

My family and I stayed in the beautiful butterfly home for 2 nights. It was perfect for what needed. It’s very cute and clean. The only downside was that it poured nearly our whole stay, but that was no fault of the owners, we were in a rainforest after all!

LaFortuna

Kitchen was well stocked with new, top brand appliances and utensils. Great views of abundant trees and flowers from the kitchen and living room large windows. The backyard had multiple fruit trees including habanero and avocado trees. Yard was immaculately maintained. Separate building with washer and dryer was convenient.

Just so lovely

Everything is well thought out and new! The bedding was good quality, the beds were comfortable and firm, the kitchen was perfectly appointed. We cooked simple meals with ease. The location is gorgeous in a sweet country neighborhood with kind neighbors and friendly dogs. The proximity to La Fortuna was perfect - close enough for convenience and far enough away to be quiet and peaceful with a great view of the volcano. It was a fantastic value! Highly recommend.

Highlight of our stay

While all the canyoning, zip lining and hikes were amazing, nothing came close to our time at butterfly house. Without exaggeration we saw more than 30 species of birds in the backyard. Woke each morning to views of the volcano and birds singing. Cooked the freshest ingredients in the kitchen and really enjoyed the authentic neighborhood feel and friendly locals. We without hesitation would stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice private house just minutes from town. Mathew & Aimee

Clean, quiet cabin

This cabin has all the appliances needed. The backyard is full of life; the enourmous toad made me jump, before admiring it! A car is essential to get around. The cabin is not within walking distance from town or activities. It’s a 10 minute drive to anything, which guaranteed our desired quietude. One point of improvement: more comfortable seating for four. The couch really accommodates two.
