From the owner

Our property is not just a cottage; it is a place... a place with activities, wildlife, flora, fauna, fruits, trails, small waterfalls and much more.

NEW: Recently added A/C and fiber optic internet access. Wi-Fi throughout. Also, the road to the property is now partially paved. Much improved.

Gated and Private. Meticulously maintained 65+ acre private retreat with flowers and wildlife too numerous to mention. Over 3 miles of private hiking trails, many leading to fantastic vistas of the surrounding mountains, volcano and lake.

Our Blue Butterfly Cottage is aptly named for the common sighting of the Blue Morpho Butterfly around our property.The Cottage is approximately 500 square feet with a full kitchen, small dining area inside or outside on your private veranda, full bathroom w/shower, full living room and sleeping loft with a full/queen bed and a full size sleep sofa in the living area. The cottage is ideal for 1-4 persons looking for a private and tranquil setting to serve as a base for exploring the area or simply wanting to get away from it all.

If you are looking for larger accommodations, please check out our main house on the property

http://www.flipkey.com/nuevo-arenal-vacation-rentals/p592660/

All linens, towels and kitchen utensils onsite.

We have a 1 acre private natural swimming pond with platforms and swimming ladders for ease of use. Make sure you check out our photos.

We have many banana, pineapple, orange, mandarin, grapefruit, lemon, lime, breadfruit trees and more. You are welcome to enjoy all that the property has to offer.

We are only 2.5km (1.5 miles) outside the Town of Nuevo Arenal. Close to shopping, tours and dining. Our location makes a perfect base for those wanting to explore all Costa Rica has to offer or just relax and finish that book or project you have started --- also ideal for artists looking for that perfect place to capture the beauty of Costa Rica without having to leave the property.

    Response from the owner
    No doubt Costa Rican roads can be a challenge sometimes. It is most unfortunate when a guest decides to go against the advise of more experienced travelers when renting a vehicle in Costa Rica. GREAT NEWS THOUGH !!! ... THE ROAD TO OUR PROPERTY IS FINALLY UNDERGOING A COMPLETE OVERHAUL... ALTHOUGH WE ANTICIPATE IT WILL TAKE A FEW MONTHS FOR COMPLETION, WE ARE EXCITED -- THERE IS ALREADY A NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE. Nuevo Arenal is less than 2 miles down the hill from us and our guests average about 10-12 minutes to get there -- we expect that to be cut in half or less once the road is complete.... Great News!! If you are looking for quiet, pristine, natural beauty, check out our Blue Butterfly Cottage..

    Thank you and you are welcome back any time. Our Main House can accommodate the whole family so please bring them too... We are glad you enjoyed our Blue Butterfly Cottage and all the property has to offer. April 29, 2014 UPDATE --- the road repairs have begun... great news!!! The machines came to scrape and re-grade the bad spots and when they apply the new gravel and compaction it will be a breeze. What a welcomed sight and sound when we heard the machines working...
