- GETTING AROUND: You will want your own Rental Car. While there are a few things to see and a couple of restaurants within walking distance of the house, there are many activities that require a 10 to 45 minute drive. You will not be happy waiting for a cab to arrive either coming or going.
*ROAD UPDATE: Some reviews mention the necessity of a 4x4 car to access the property, the drive up to the house was steep, rocky and sometimes slippery, but after Sep. 5th of 2022 it's completely paved, so any type of car will be able to make it up and down the hill without problems.

Summary: We stayed here in 2019 as well. Incredible views of Lake Arenal, volcano and jungle with howler monkeys and beautiful birds. We love the Eagle's Nest for a morning coffee and just to enjoy the view. 30 minutes from La Fortuna and 5 minutes from 3 nice restaurants and markets. Will go back again in the future.

Summary: I took my family of 13 including 4 grandchildren to Costa Rica for 10 days. We stayed at the Pie in The Sky Villas for the first 5 nights and were not disappointed. The house and grounds were amazing and the views even better. We were fortunate to meet the owner, Ronald Peterson, after a few minutes he became one of my family. You could not ask for a better host. The location is perfect for any activities you want around the Arenal Volcano. 5 bedrooms & 5 baths, more than enough room for all. Th swimming pool was like something in a movie especially with the views.

Summary: My family of 5 loved this home in the jungle. The kitchen was well stocked, the pool and hot tub were perfect, the beds were comfortable and each bedroom has it’s own air conditioning unit. The driveway is steep but manageable even during rainy season. The grounds are gorgeous and the lake/volcano/rainforest views are to die for. The treehouse is super cute, too. Coffee on the porch outside the bedrooms was the best! There is a little market for some provisions and snacks. There are plenty of restaurants in the area as well. We highly recommend La Ventanita. We also went white water rafting and zip lining during our stay in the mountains. Will definitely stay here when in Costa Rica!

Summary: Overall we loved staying here. There was just enough room for our group of 10 (7 adults and 3 kids aged 4-17). The views of the lake and the volcano are absolutely breathtaking, and the house is situated on a beautiful property surrounded by jungle, so we saw lots of birds right off the porch. The pool and hot tub were amazing, and entertained the kids for hours, all with a spectacular backdrop. The house and grounds were in good shape, clean, and well cared for. A couple things in the house needed to be fixed when we got there, but the property manager was immediately responsive and sent someone up to repair them right away. Communication was excellent. The property itself is up a very long and steep driveway, so it's really not possible to walk anywhere from the house and I don't know what would have happened if two cars were on the driveway going opposite directions, but we didn't run into that problem. The only other issue we had was having to check in at the welcome center prior to getting to the house might have been an issue had we arrived after the office closed. We had some difficulty coordinating the different parts of our group so that we could get the gate openers to everyone, but worked out. This was not an issue with the property, but be aware that the grocery stores in El Castillo have very limited supplies of fresh vegetables and fruit, so make sure to shop in La Fortuna before heading to the property.

Summary: Property is better than in the pictures. Pool and jacuzzi were immaculately clean. Great views and well appointed kitchen. The supplied coffee was delicious. Monkeys and birds were entertaining. Location close to activities and provided a needed quiet from the fast paced adventure activities. Nearby restaurants were all 10/10. Highly recommend.
