Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Santo Domingo Canton

Always a lovely experience. Great location yet very peaceful.

How to summarize a review for a place that has the potential to change your life has been a task. To stay with Cheryl and Jon at the Finca Aveterra is to be unplugged yet connected, cared for with generous hospitality, educated and informed of new ways of living; and for us specifically, reminded of who our Creator God is and the life He intended for us to live. It has been difficult to leave and felt like a departure from friends, family and home when we did. Cheryl was beyond gracious, helpful and thorough coordinating our arrival and departure, performing chef duties (unbelievable), connecting us to in-country travel means, greeting us in the middle of the night; Jon was passionately energetic sharing about syntropic agroforestry, touring us through the farm, the valley (!!), and both touring us through the lodge, sharing the fruit of their labor (literally), engaging conversation and generosity. Thank you for the time and grace of this beautiful place, Jon and CC. Con abrazos.

Very nice place to rest or work with good internet. Plenty of room in different areas. Very good price for excellent quality.

Amazing place, close to Mindo’s downtown. Staff is very kind and the place is clean and comfy!

Our families stay in Mindo was wonderful! Luz and her family were very helpful with check-in and instructions even though our Spanish was limited. The place was cozy and very clean. We were within walking distance of town with great restaurants and shops. The gardens around the house were beautiful and they even have hummingbird feeders and a place where they put fruit for the birds. It was magical to watch the birds while drinking delicious Ecuadorian coffee. We would recommend this place to others!

We had an excellent stay! The hosts had great attitudes with us and helped us with everything we needed. We plan to return in a few months!

This sanctuary was a highlight for trip to Ecuador. The cabin was beautiful, cozy and had the most beautiful views and surroundings. The king sized bed was awesome, not a lot of them in Ecuador from the Airbnbs I searched. Ivan provided the staple breakfast items and we ate like kings/queens after walking around Mindo all day. The property is well kept and truly spectacular. We spent our morning bathing in the river nearby while the doggie kept us company and played lifeguard. We’d go back in heartbeat and we plan to sometime in the near future.

Great find - a little oasis! Really peaceful and great host! Highly recommend 🫶🏼

A beautiful house in a spectacular setting; although it is close to the city, from inside the accommodation you have the feeling of being in the middle of the jungle. The host was very attentive and provided us with all the necessary information to make our arrival and stay easier and more comfortable. Highly recommended.
