Place is beautiful, but we lost power for couple hours. In daytime inside the cabin is very hot. No A/C and the jacuzzi the water is very hot as well Outside the cabin its too many cats. So we stay for 2 nights. Thanks God!
Simple, very remote holiday home accommodation, but lacking nothing. Perfectly equipped, with a small pool and wonderful birdsong and crickets chirping, even at night. Up to 6 cats come to visit every day. Access to the property and house is well organized. WiFi available, otherwise no WiFi.
This place was great - we stayed here so we could easily get to one of the river adventures that is about 30 minutes away. It is a simple cottage but has everything we needed for a few nights. Itâs nice to get away from the crowded tourist areas and relax by the little pool. The owner was helpful with information and quick to get back to us when we had questions. I do feel the price is a little high, but not unreasonable.
This place is so cozy and relaxing! The outside was our favorite part! You are surrounded by the sounds of nature! There were so many beautiful birds, little lizards, coqui frogs, fruits, vegetables, plants, itâs great! The inside was perfect for my husband and I with an extra bedroom. THIS is Puerto Rico! Itâs not all beautiful beaches and waterfalls, the rain forests are amazingâ€ïž
Rosarioâs property is an incredible find! I spent a week here while working in the area, and it was perfect. Its location tucked away inside the Rio Abajo forest is prefect for getting some peace and quiet. There is no AC but the fans, and dehumidifier inside of the home make the home quite tolerable during those hot days (not to mention the pool as well.) Rosario was also super helpful with providing information about the rental, as well as things to do in the surrounding area. I would definitely recommend this listing to anyone whoâs looking for a little extra peace and quiet. I personally will definitely be staying again.
The home was really nice. It is a cabin in the mountains of Utuado. The cabin is surrounded by mountains on three sides and sits on a clearing between the mountains. The hostess was great. She sent us info on things to do and places to eat. We took her up on her pizza recommendation and it was well worth it. The cabin doesnât have AC, so we had to use the fans and open the windows. This was awesome as we heard coquis, crickets and even a rooster in the morning. It was like having your own white noise. The jacuzzi was fabulous and it helped to cool the family after a long day of exploring around the island. The hostess also has banana trees on the property and gave us permission to pull some down to have for breakfast. The only drawback was some pesky feral cats from the nearby neighborhood who came by every night as we were eating. Outside of that it was a perfect rustic mountain property for a quick stay.
This cabin is a little paradise hidden in the mountains. Decorated with taste, very well appointed with an outside little pool and a nice terasse, it is one of the most enchanting Air B&B we have been . The directions given by the owner were clear, we easily found the place despite a late evening arrival. Do not hesitate to book your stay there !
Such a peaceful stay. Pool was heated with jets and great to relax in daily. Host kept in good contact and asked how are stay was going every couple days which I appreciated. Good amount of games to play which was a nice touch. Selectos and Walgreens was 10 minutes away which was nice
This cabin is truly special and the host extremely communicative. I wish I didnât have to cut my trip short but the power went out 4 times in a little more than a week. As a Puerto Rican myself I am really conscious about the unfair issues with the electrical grid, which hit rural locations hardest and affect peopleâs livelihoods. But the truth is that while I was there the power went out so much that I had to leave early. She was very accommodating and refunded several nightsâ stay which I really appreciate. I really hope itâs within the ownerâs reach to go off the grid somehow. It just seems that this particular spot is chronically affected by these issues, worse than in other places in Puerto Rico. I mention this because existing reviews donât and people should understand that they could be experiencing similar challenges.
Itâs totally secluded, has a nice little pool that we used twice but honestly it was the serenity of the place that made it so wonderful. It is among the top 3 places Iâve stayed. And that includes Europe, and the US.
Owner cancelled, but VRBO customer service is awful .Just like your parent company Expedia,it is impossible to get things done on a timely or correct basis. Timely as in 7 days. I dont expect things to work smoothly right now....but you sure can send a survey out. Why go to the expense when you know the answer???
Hola! I am Rosario .I grew part of my life in this family country house , enjoying the nature and mountains in the Bosque Rio Abajo and in the north-coast, 15 minutes in my hometown Arecibo.The perfect balance ! The log cabin has been part of my life since I was a child and this is the reason I enjoy nature so much and want you to share you to have this experience and enjoy as much as I do.
this inherited log cabin in the Rio Abajo Forest provide a very special lovely place in the Rio Abajo forest; Secluded and secured place but accesible to airports, beaches, north and south side of the Island.The log cabin was acquired by my father during the 60's whereThe first Peace Corps where stablished . Rio Abajo Forest is a forested preserve in Puerto Rico owned by the Department of Natural Resources. It consists mostly of subtropical wet and moist karst forest. Mogotes and sinkholes fill the landscape. It is home to plant and wildlife species that include endangered species such as the Puerto Rican broad-winged hawk (Buteo platypterus brunnescens), the Puerto Rican boa (Chilabothrus inornatus), and a captive population of critically endangered Puerto Rican parrots (Amazona vittata). Captive parrots are slowly being released into Rio Abajo in an attempt to form a second population.
Great location , near North and South of the Island, mountains and beach, near main roads and also secluded and private. this is a special neighborhood, where in the 60"s during Kennedy's presidency, choose this forest to open 2 base camps and the first ones in the world to trained people for all over the worlds mission "Peace Corps"; you are just in front of one, Crozier Camp. Now people of the community are working to raise and have main services to the community in this space. Also at the end of road 621, in the second camp , Now is the sanctuary of our Parrot/ Amazona Vittata.
