Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Santo Domingo Canton

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.

We have stayed at Juan Diegos' cabin twice. The reseve is remote, beautiful and peaceful. Birds, frogs, horses and other wildlife makes you feel like you are part of the nature. One of the walking trails takes you to the river and a picturesque biopool that is literally located in the middle of a pasture and fed by rainwater. It is the most unique pool that we have ever seen. The dining area has a large terrace with a view of mountains and an elevated view over the river. This terrace is a perfect place for flexing and yoga or just having a romantic moment. The breakfast is delicious and healthy and the hosts are very responsive and friendly. The arcitecure and design of the cabin are unique and stylish. Everything is done with meticulos attention to detail. You can cook your own food if you wish, which we did for some meals. The kitchen has what is needed for most simple dishes. We also loved the jaccuzi which worked as promised. Great both with or without kids.

We loved the place. We were looking with my mom for a place to disconnect, away from people and noise. That nice place, having the river next to it is divine and to be a 15 minute walk to a waterfall, it really is what we needed. We'll definitely be back, it has everything we're looking for, plus Carmen's massages are also spectacular. Fully recommended place to rest and recharge.

Wonderful, peaceful cabin in Mindo. We had a great time in this cozy cabin, near to many attractions and the river! Elaine is a very hospitable and friendly host, she gave us some great recommendations for our stay in Mindo.

Great place to stay!! The house and property were beautiful. Lynne was an amazing host. She was very accommodating and super responsive anytime I had a question or needed advice for our trip. Would definitely recommend staying here if you're traveling to Mindo!

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 absolutely loved this place — it’s like paradise! Fernando and the house manager, Luis, were both very responsive and accommodating. The house is located in a quiet area and offers breathtaking views. There are tons of chirping birds everywhere — it’s truly amazing. We loved everything about this place: the hammock views, the balcony, the pool, and the sauna — all spectacular. We’re definitely coming back! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a quiet, tranquil day in a jungle-like environment.

Excellent. The place is beautiful and quiet. Ideal for family travel.
