Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Guatuso

I would definitely recommend this place and would absolutely stay here again , the host was so friendly and accommodating and the house was extremely beautiful , clean and comfortable.

We had a great time ! The house is spacious, has everything you need to cook and beautiful places to share as a family!

I really enjoyed my stay here when visiting La Fortuna! The house was spacious, clean, had all the amenities you need, and was in a good spot of La Fortuna with beautiful surroundings. My family and I really liked it. Randall & Juliana were also both very responsive to help if I had any questions. I highly recommend this house for your stay and would not hesitate to stay again in the future if I ever visit La Fortuna again!

If it is available for your dates, book it right now. We spent four nights here with our family of five and I would stay at least one more night next time. The location is perfect in every way- safe, private, walkable, views, easy access to everything. Beds were comfy and plunge pool was a plus. Marvin has thought of every detail... there was even a pitcher of cold water already in the fridge for us when we arrived. Communicating with Marvin was also like having a local friend giving us ideas for our tours. Everything he suggested was great and he made the booking process easy. It was much nicer than the hard sells on the sidewalk of beautiful La Fortuna.

The listing photos of this home do no justice to the absolute stunning location. Clear views of the arenal volcano from the backyard. We will absolutely be back time and time again. Stunning!!!!

Awesome facility! It was exactly as described. Very quiet. very private, and very safe. The pool is definitely what stood out the most. It was very relaxing. Norwin thought of everything! He was very helpful. We saw a lot of hummingbirds. The bedroom was ample size with plenty of storage. We enjoyed our stay there immensely and look forward to returning.

We loved our stay in La fortuna! Excellent location. We loved that it was peaceful, the house was so beautiful. Daniel & Andres were responsive and they helped us book some of our excursions. It was my mom’s birthday and they helped me arrange a private chef with mariachis to surprise my mother. We had an excellent time and we already can’t wait to go back to visit again. I can’t thank you enough for everything! 💜

Daniel and his team were exceptional. They let us drop our bags off before check-in so we could explore town, offered helpful tour services, and even a complimentary cleaning (which we didn’t use, but appreciated!). The house is in a great location—10–15 min walk to downtown La Fortuna, close to a grocery store, and tucked on a quieter street with a nice local vibe. One note for light sleepers: the house is just past a curve where motorcyclists like to rev their engines, often late into the night. I don’t usually consider myself a light sleeper, but I did struggle. The hosts thoughtfully provide a white noise machine, which helps, but just something to be aware of. Overall, for everything within the host’s control, this stay was fantastic and easily 5 stars!

We spent four amazing days at Venado Valley Ranch. From the very beginning, we felt at home thanks to the warm welcome from Sandra. There is so much to do and experience here. Our children, aged 9 and 11, were constantly entertained by all the animals and activities. Ronald guided us on a beautiful tour through the river to the waterfall, where we had a wonderful swim at this unique spot. The horseback ride with the whole family through the mountains was fantastic. Milking the cows and making sugarcane juice were also great experiences. Breakfast and dinner were prepared by Damaris – what delicious meals she made! We truly enjoyed every bite. The accommodation itself is really special. Our kids even had their own room, where Smokey the house cat came to keep them company. They said these were the best days of the entire vacation. But beyond the location, it’s the people who made it truly special. Thank you so much for taking such good care of us, Sandra, Ronald, and Damaris!

My daughter and her boyfriend were there for a bike ride ride. The location was perfect for proximity to the ride and a great environment to relax following a strenuous day! There was a slight mix up with rooms, but it was quickly resolved for everyone. And, my daughter loved the replacement digs (pets included!) Kees is extremely easy to communicate with and very responsive. We highly recommend him and his accommodations.

It is an extremely BEAUTIFUL place, perfect to disconnect and renew your energy, fully equipped, cozy, the place was impeccable, they took care of every detail, it has everything at hand so you don't have to worry about anything, the pool was super clean and relaxing. My husband and I stayed for four days and we didn't have enough time to enjoy everything the place and the house offers, without a doubt the host is a beautiful person, super friendly and sweet, it is a simply perfect place, without a doubt we will return to this place. (highly recommended)

We highly recommend this property. The grounds are beautiful and amazingly maintained. The home is diligently maintained and had everything we needed. Our kids utilized the pool and had an amazing time.

Great spot in a quiet neighborhood, close to the supermarket and restaurants. We walked to the Red Frog several times for coffee and meals. 20 min drive to Arenal Park and Mystico. Great touches around the home. Would definitely stay again!

This place is a hidden gem. Irene is one of a kind; always willing to help, very responsive and super super kind. I will be back for sure. Gracias, Irene por toda tu ayuda y amabilidad!

You must stay here! We had an amazing stay at this villa. The location was perfect: very peaceful and private, but close to downtown with lots of food and shops. The best part about this place is the access to Los Lagos resort! The villa is within the resort, but tucked above it with amazing views and a private hot tub. We utilized the resort passes daily, exploring the resort and the numerous hot spring pools (which are AMAZING). The resort is gorgeous. We loved being in the villa and the privacy it offered, while being able enjoy all the resort amenities right below us! Very safe area, and since the villa is located within the resort, it’s gated. Very friendly employees at resort and our host, Santiago, was lovely! He provided great recommendations and always responsive. Would absolutely stay again! Book this villa!

We can’t thank Jonathon enough!!!! He was incredibly helpful. Very responsive. He helped arrange a few different excursions while we were in La Fontana and they were amazing. He also gave us some recommendations for restaurants which was extremely helpful because there are so many choices it was hard to know which ones were good and Soda restaurants (in Costa Rica means local authentic places) were they best !!! I highly recommend this place it’s secluded for privacy but close enough to go for a 10 walk and be right in the thick of everything. I would give him 10 stars if it were possible. 😀

Would definitely recommend even better than the pictures could show was plenty of space for our 10 person group saw lots of wildlife while being able to see a few cool stores close by

A beautiful place close to Lake Arenal with privacy views and a delightful pool. The house is perfectly equipped and also surrounded by gardens that are very well cared for and that are beautiful to walk and walk with your pets even. The host is very friendly and always attentive giving us answers every time we had any questions. This place is definitely recommended for anyone who wants to spend a safe and comfortable quiet relaxing time with beautiful views and surrounded by nature.

Great, peaceful spot. Would stay again

Excellent place to relax and get lost in the city. Very quiet and private. Lots of greenery and animal sound. 100% recommended.

Jim and Carol's place is a bit off the beaten path about 30 mins outside of La Fortuna. They are wonderful, kind and attentive hosts. The breakfast each morning was delicious and Jim delighted us with stories and magic tricks. Would reccomend for travelers who want something outside of the town and who wants to be more in nature/secluded.

Fred’s place is amazing to be surrounded by nature. It’s cozy and you have everything you need. Fred was always responsive with any doubt or concern we had; the place is extremely close to Volcán Tenorio Park and an entrance to Rio Celeste; also people around are charming and very friendly. Take into account that there is no access by public transportation and if you arrive at night it will be extremely dark. Fred gave us a hand to find a taxi which was a real lifesaver. I highly recommend his place, but please be aware that there will definitely be some bugs since it’s really in the middle of nature. There were a couple of cute frogs that came visiting us at night. Finally: do yourself a favor and visit Vista Tenorio restaurant steps away from the house. It must be some of the best food I have ever had.

beautiful place, would love to go back.
