Pacuare Reserve House | Idyllic Paradise Retreat w/ River Gardens 1100 SqFt 2BR/Full Kitchen/Pool/HotTub

2 Bedroom House in Pacuare Reserve, Cachí

This is real Costa Rica—not the House Hunter’s International version. It’s all verdant mountains, soaring volcano giants, incredible nature, and farm land—we’re in coffee country! All our neighbors are Ticos (that’s the nickname Costa Rican’s call themselves.)
We live on a finca we've named San Miguel del Rio Oro. But what in the world is a finca? In Spanish it means “farm.”
Now it's not like a huge ranch in Texas (and we know about those because we're both multi-generational Texans.) It's not like a vast wheat field in Kansas, or the corn fields of Iowa. No, it’s not that kind of farm. Maybe you should think more about Old MacDonald’s place. But put it in a river valley. At 3800 feet. In Costa Rica. Now you’re getting the idea.
We consider ourselves to be gentlemen farmers—that means we don’t have to farm, but we like to tinker as a hobby. Of course, we also have our good-natured pups. And yes, we have a few chickens…and geese…and turkeys. They strut around striking the most delightful poses. We have the sweetest dairy goats you’ve ever seen. So you’ll get to meet our “girls”—the 5 dairy goats that we milk every morning so we can make all kinds of artisan cheeses and homemade ice creams. My favorite ice cream flavor is Pineapple Habanero with Macadamia Nut Brittle. Yum! You can try your hand at milking if you’d like—it’s free. You can also take a cheese making class if you’d like—it’s not free. Ha!
We don’t provide breakfast, but we do provide you with delicious farm-fresh eggs, milk, and cheese—all made right here--so you can whip up whatever your heart desires in your fully-equipped kitchen. We have a rotating crop of vegetables in the garden. If you smile real pretty and ask real nice, I'll bet we'll let you pick some of them to use in your meal preparations.
We say living in Costa Rica is lot like a return to the 50s and 60s—things are slower paced, everyone knows everyone, and there’s time to enjoy simpler things. It’s the Pura Vida attitude you’ve heard tell of. It really is great. But that relaxed Pura Vida attitude has it’s flip side—things get done when they get done. What does that mean? Well, after the rainy season (oops, the tourist board says I’m supposed to call it the “green season”) the road that leads to the house can be a bit bumpy. Just do what all the Ticos do: Smile, wave at the neighbors, hang on, and just keep driving.
Speaking of neighbors, we do have some, but since we live at the end of the road and we have 3 1/2 acres you’ll never hear or see them. Well except maybe during coffee-picking season when they head up into the nearby fields in the early morning.
As long as we’re being completely open with each other, let’s talk about all that nature you came to see. You will be surrounded by it as we are living in the midst of primary rainforests. So you won’t have to look very hard to see it. We basically live outdoors most of the time because the climate is so perfect year-round. But that also means that “nature” comes right up to meet you. It is so cool to see a toucan so close you could touch it. However, while we strive to keep everything spic and span, you should know that you may find the occasional creepy-crawler come to pay his respects also.
Seriously, we love our life here. And we fully expect that you will love your time here as well.

Summary: Four of us were in Costa Rica and moved around 8 nights. This was our favorite stay. The grounds are super cool, albeit in need of a power washing when wet season is over. The unit worked out perfectly for us. The town is a classic small CR town and we shopped for food and grilled out. We went to the carniceria and vegetable stand they recommended as well as a panaderia and a good grocery store. We felt like locals and that is always special when that can happen. We also too Mike and Michael up on their liqueur and cheese tasting. All four of us LOVED that and could have sat and talked to the guys all night. One of us bought Mike's cookbook. We loved so much about our stay that we seriously felt we would love to live there ourselves. If we did we would want to "hang" with these guys.

Summary: This place was a 20 from start to finish. The pictures do not do it justice There was a wonderful welcome bag and they had left two beers and a half a dozen eggs get us started with. And that was just the beginning. The trails are wonderful, Jacuzzi fantastic. My fiancé and I fell asleep every night to the sounds of the running water from the brook. It was peaceful, tranquil, and very relaxing. I am I couldn’t give this place a higher recommendation. Mike and Michael where is the perfect host

Summary: Superb in all aspects. The location and the hosts, Mike and Michael, are all a visitor to Costa Rica could want. The property teems with gorgeous flowers, birds and trails along the banks of the river. This is indeed a secluded haven in Costa Rica's Ag region. Everything associated with the property is exactly as described (maybe a bit under stated). Mike and Michael are full of area information and extremely helpful in steering guests in the right direction. This is a jewel in the Orosi Region and is highly recommended. We will return!

Summary: We were thoroughly spoilt at this fabulous boutique villa. The gardens were so beautiful with a wonderful boulder strewn river running throughout the property. Unfortunately the owners had to be called away so we never got to meet them which we felt detracted a little from our stay. Especially as their lovely dogs never quite got used to us and would bark quite a lot at our presence. Made us feel bad for the dogs and restricted our movements about the place somewhat. Nobody’s fault, just one of those things. I’m sure this wouldn’t have happened had the owners been around. Apart from that we loved our stay. Pura Vida.

Summary: Superb stay. The gardens were amazing and private. Even though it rained when we were there the bird watching right outside the apartment was incredible we saw a great variety of birds. The hot tub and pool were very welcome and everything is exactly as described. I highly recommend this property.

Summary: Having booked this online, we were not really sure what we were getting. The pictures looked great and the write-up about the property drew us to it. It far surpassed our expectations! Nestled at the top of a steep hill in the small town of Cachi in central Costa Rica, this property is truly stunning. With views of distant mountains, a stream running right through the center of the property, flowers and birds of all kinds everywhere, we were completely enchanted. Our hosts, Mike and Micheal were welcoming and generous with their advice and time and translating. They respected our privacy but were available and willing to help us make the most of our stay. We had a fabulous week in a gorgeous country with amazing hosts. Thank you Mike and Michael!

Summary: This was our first time to Costa Rica, and it was an amazing trip. Excellent communication prior to our trip was outstanding which made everything much easier. We stayed in the mountain area, and found that we did not have to leave to find PLENTY of outstanding activities. We felt like we had the amazing opportunity to experience the REAL Costa Rica. The opportunity to emerge ourselves in the true culture of the area was unforgettable. Mike & Michael take much pride in their little piece of paradise. Their place is unbelievable and just spent one day taking in the gardens and didn’t leave the property. We would recommend this host to anyone who wishes to see and live a bit of the good life.....Pura Vida !!!!!
