Meghan & Davis were extremely helpful & accommodating & the staff was very kind. The food for breakfast was delicious and for dinner we walked to a nearby soda for some good food as well. The walk in the rainforest afforded us a great deal of wildlife viewing and the swim hole in the river was the perfect way to cool off from our hike. This family-owned lodge is doing wonderful things for their community and we are happy to support their endeavors. Highly recommend this place! read less

The family and staff who operate the Lodge are friendly, hospitable, and knowledgeable about the rainforest itself and surrounding businesses. They made great recommendations for meals and activities nearby. I highly suggest you have dinner at the lodge at least one night. The food is simple Tico fare, elevated by fresh ingredients and excellent seasoning. I am still trying to replicate the spinach soup! read less

Bats sleeping outside on the veranda rafters. Did the night walk and day walk around the grounds and saw snakes, hummingbirds asleep in their nests, sloths. Their is a longer path into the grounds that is definitely jungle judging by the paw prints in the mud. Recommend checking about how much of path is open before setting out. Meghan and husband were charming and helpful. Food was top notch and varied. Walking distance to the nearby Chocolate tour. We should have booked for longer. read less

(note: I plagiarized that sentence but it's accurate nonetheless.)

We got a recommendation to check this place out while on a snorkeling tour in Quepos. We spent our first 5 days in Costa Rica at a resort and were eager to see more of the country side over the last 3 days of our stay.

This jungle retreat is on the beautiful (and very clean) Sarapiqui river.

Meghan and David (proprietors) were really great; we loved the location of their place and the accommodations. We especially appreciated (and admired) their dedication and connection to the surrounding community.

Our kids were enthralled by their night jungle tour and seeing the neighboring chocolate plantation.

Meghan also arranged zip lining and white water rafting activities that our kids are still taking about (the guides were excellent hosts to our kids and their scientific knowledge of the local animals, plants and ecology was very impressive).
