Description from owner

Description

Location: San Pedro de Poas, Costa Rica (40 minutes from the San Jose Airport)

Bamboo House and separate apartment on organic coffee farm

Enjoy the Bamboo house with stunning panoramic views of Poas volcano and the Central Valley. This is a one of a kind living space designed by the great Costa Rican Bamboo builder, Martin Cato. The hand made bamboo ceiling soars to a glass dome that, at night, focuses the moon beam as it travels across the hand laid hardwood and stone flooring. Natural light illuminates the space from every side for a 360 degree view - see the wondrous multi-colored hummingbirds, butterflies, coffee fields, banana plants and grand colors of the Costa Rican natural surroundings. The house is set in the center of a five acre organic coffee farm. Very private and peaceful. Part of our vision is to live sustainable so the house is solar powered. You can still stay connected via Internet.

We love sitting on the deck late in the afternoon, enjoying beverages, and watching the sun set!

You'll want to hang out all day so we've provided gas stove, fridge and all the cooking utensils. There is a queen bed in the bamboo house and bathroom across the deck. Check out the Virtual Tour in the Photos section!!!

In addition we have separate guest quarters adjacent to the house perfect for a second couple or children.

The space has a sofa bed and loft as well as a kitchenette and bathroom. The guest quarters have patio with view of Banana trees and the mountains. In addition there is a fire pit and garden area connecting the 2 living spaces. You'll love the locally made artisan bbq grill in the backyard.

Contact us for further information about renting separately for a reduced price.

Take a tour of the property with Jose, our caretaker. He loves people and is always delighted to show you the farm to cup process. Watch him roast a batch of our richy, tasty coffee - you 'll be drinking the fresh roast the next day. It's akin to eating fresh bread right out of the oven!

Interaction with guest

We split our time between Berkeley California, Asheville, North Carolina and get to Costa Rica as much as possible. We love learning more about organic farming and continue to grow in our appreciation for Costa Rica. We also really enjoy sharing our coffee farm and Costa Rica with others. In all likelihood, we won't be on-site during your stay. Jose, our caretaker, lives on the farm with his family and he has often expressed his gratitude for the organic process. Jose is always happy to provide Coffee Tours and explain how the organic process works. He will also help with your transportation, washing clothes, and anything you need. Check out the reviews. Everyone loves Jose and we do as well!

“Exceeded expectations in every way”

Reviewed 3 May 2022

This place was amazing. The bamboo house is absolutely beautiful, and has everything you need. The property is surrounded by beautiful mountains, all sort of flora and the coffee plants. The highlight of the property is Jose, the caretaker. He is extremely accommodating and friendly, and would be happy to give you a tour of the plantation. The only issue is the road to the house, which is extremely rocky and full of holes. But with any decent car it’s manageable. Overall an amazing place
