Description from owner
Description
Completely furnished Emma's Guest Cottage is just 5 minutes from the central colonial city of Granada. We are "just off of" Lake Nicaragua - with its 100 islands and wonderfully refreshing breezes. This is a Resort-like setting, with a refreshing lap swimming pool, and a professional trampoline, swing set and outdoor shower - all next to the pool patio area.
There are several terraces/lounge areas on the property, hammocks and swing chairs, plus the hundreds of plants and trees in the tropical gardens are everywhere. There is even a five-tiered turtle fountain; the turtles (of course) reside in the lower level. Their frog friends are nearby, as are many birds - including hummingbirds, chocoyas and butterflies.
You have your own washing machine, your own back-up water tank and a stainless steel propane BBQ grill to cook outdoors - whenever you like. There is a nice hot water shower in the bathroom. The high-ceiling great room and bedroom have three ceiling fans, and there are often nice breezes off of the lake.
The cottage is nestled into the corner of a lush tropical garden setting. It has a
fully equipped kitchen, plus cable TV and its own modem with fast WiFi. WiFi is also available throughout the property - including around the pool. There is a king-sized and/or queen-sized orthopedic bed with luxurious 440 count cotton sheets, pillow cases & there are nice & luxurious, large cotton bath towels.
As mentioned previously, there is an outdoor shower by the pool, plus nice & comfortable lounge chairs - both outside & inside the pool (float chairs)! (BTW, WiFi works great here!).
As well there is maid service (as needed), & a cuidador/guard who can wash your vehicle. Free long distance phone calls to the U.S.A. & Canada. English & Spanish are both spoken here. A 4 x 4 Honda CRV, a motor scooter & bicycle are available to use/rent as needed.
It is very peaceful and safe here at Emma's Guest Cottage. This is a nice resort-like, family setting, which is great for computer work, reading, relaxing or siestas!
The cost is $39/night with a nicely discounted rate for longer stays. Longer term monthly stays with us are encouraged and warmly welcomed. The monthly fee is discounted even more during the off season.

Response from the owner Thank you so much Caren and Jean-Louis for this 5 star review. We feel the same way about you two; it was a pleasure to have you share our hacienda aka "little mini-resort" with us. We loved having you here and were sad when you all-of-a-sudden were gone. All the best to you two...COME BACK TO SEE US SOMETIME! Safe travels! ((-: Papa G., Mama K, our three girls, Richard, Ana, the dogs, the pool, plants, trampoline, swing set, BBQ, et al...we all miss you! xoxoxo

Response from the owner This New York City family of SIX(!) were quite delightful and interesting. They stayed at Emma's Guest Cottage for only a short period of time, and were always very pleasant and easy to deal with, which was nice. Mama Vanessa had her hands full (my wife and I have three young daughters, so it was fun to watch!), and Papa Alan was always cool, calm and collected. (I need to take lessons from him!). By the way, we know their three very young children (including two boys!) were "well-behaved", because nothing was broken, and...all pets and plants were still alive when they left!!! ((-: Anyway, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your kind words Alan and Vanessa. Of course, anytime in the future you'd like visit us again, you are always welcome here at Emma's Guest Cottage or Mae's Guest Suite!!! ((-: Papa Gregg and Mama Karen

Response from the owner This unique couple of guys "Big John and Little John" were quite the pair. It was pleasant having them stay here, but Big John was overweight and had a bad smoker's brochitis - a "hacking cough". This made the hottest month of the year (April) quite difficult for him - especially in the afternoon. We definitely gave them 5 Star Ritz type service, but I think the heat, sweating and coughing made the uncomfortable Big John demote us to only 4 Stars = ))-: Oh well! We do have a hot water shower; we just don't advise using it (nobody does) during the hottest month of April, etc.. The directions (and see map) to here are quite easy to follow; it's just that Big John drove a rental vehicle from the airport in Managua late at night, and arrived here in a very tired state - after having flown & traveled all day long - from Wisconsin, nonetheless!. The "rough road" has been fixed, but...the heavy rains at times changes the contour of the roads that are made mainly of dirt and stone.

Response from the owner This young couple from the Bosque region of northern Spain were quite charming. They stayed with us for a month or so, and it was a pleasure having them here! They were going through the arduous process of adopting a cute little Nicaragua girl, and it was fun to watch her grow/adapt during her month here with us! We all shared the Christmas Eve celebration dinner out by the pool: great food, wine, Nicaraguan rum and...many interesting stories about our lives on this planet. Thank you for your kind words mi Bosque amigos!!! ((-: -Papa Gregg

Response from the owner It was a pleasure having this young Canadian couple stay here - with their two "ninos" (boys). Their kids "frolicked" with ours children and others, and it was a joy watching the dynamics unfold! We greatly appreciate their kind words, sentiments, and gratitude for our family, service-type orientation here. The entire family greatly enjoyed the swimming pool, terraced areas and multiple pets on our property - that's for sure!!! ((-: -Papa Gregg
