El Refugio de Hadas y Elfos

La casa en el bosque. Muy linda. Para quedarse mucho rato mirando los árboles.

La cama de la pieza matrimonial era muy chica

El entorno natural La tranquilidad La preservación del medio ambiente

Nada Todo impecable

Maravillosa experiencia! Es un lugar de encanto en medio del bosque, realmente el refugio de las hadas y de los elfos! La casa está decorada con muy buen gusto, super bien equipada, y muy bien calefaccionada. Además, Don Aldo fue super atento para que nuestras vacaciones fueran perfectas, dandonos consejos y recomiendaciones. También se mostró muy disponible en caso de necesitar cualquier cosa. Recomendamos 200% !! Y sin duda volveremos! Muchas gracias!

Everything was perfect, from the minute one. They make sure you get there nice and safe, the communication it is a key factor for this property because it is in the middle of the forest. Not to far but far, enough to have a perfect home away from home.

The location is superb, in the middle of the rainforest, surrounded by tall trees and birds. The house has a very cool design, full of natural wood, double height living/dining area, reasonable kitchen, very nice beds, good water pressure, good set of utensils, toiletries provided for a relaxed stay. Hot tub (tinaja) was a plus, though it took a very long time to heat up. It is recommended to arrive on a 4x4 tall vehicle, the access could be very difficult. The electric-heating balance is rather delicate, make sure you can be there every evening early to run the compressor, otherwise the house looses power and heating. We had some difficulties with that since we were there for a wedding at Puerto Fuy and could not always be on top of the power schedule. Also, the compressor makes a lot of noise, so you don't want to use it too late at night - there are houses nearby and everyone wants peace and quiet. We had another issue not related to the upkeep of the house (accidental water pipe breakage on the street below), which put additional strain on our stay the first 12 hours, but was handled by the owner and the housekeepers. Overall very nice stay with some things to keep in mind while planning.

It would be nice to have some clothes hangers in the rooms, though I understand that for the most part people come here for trekking and adventure tourism mostly (in our case - wedding - they were absolutely needed). There was construction noise on the nearby property every work day 9 - 6, with cumbias and all the shenanigans.

The house was in a beautiful spot in the forest. We had ample room for the four of us. There is a huge outdoor space and had the weather been more cooperative we might have used but it was a little chillier in the forest than we're used to, so we stayed inside.

The house is a 20 minute drive deep into the forest on rough gravel roads which makes it an extra effort to get to and from it. We had a hard time understanding how to keep the generator running when the solar wasn't able to keep us powered but that could just be a language issue because we have limited spanish.

Comididad

Ubicación. Geografía. Paisaje. Tranquilidad. Buena acogida de los habitantes de la zona al turista. Varios lugares para visitar y caminar. La ruta de autos: en buen estado, con varias advertencias de hielo en el camino o resbaladizo en las mañanas.

Para llegar al Refugio de Hadas y Elfos, debes SÍ o SÍ, pedir al "administrador de la cabaña" que te guíe. Sobre todo, si quieres salir en familia y vas a llegar de noche. De noche NO tienes puntos de referencia. Ya que, Google Maps, Waze, etc NO reconocen el sendero (auto, trekking, etc) que debes usar para llegar a la cabaña. Por tanto, puedes estar "toda la noche" tratando de volver. Si vas con tu familia de regreso en la noche, eso NO es bueno. Con luz solar es más fácil. Eso se lo expliqué al Dueño y le sugerí vea la opción con Google Maps para que aparezca el sendero exacto a utilizar.

House is quite amazing, very well built with native and no native trees. Location, a bit far BUT located right in the forest. Would be great for a big family with a few days just to relax and recharge batteries.

Well, it was quite hard to get to the place, lots of logistics involved with a third person just to guide through the area. Although I was aware of the electricity issues, the electrical panel was fully exposed inside the house, with a cable running from the inside to the generator. All of these add some danger, specially when we had a 3 months baby and 4 grandparents with us. In the morning, the diesel generator didn't work, which wasn't a big deal but still not expected. At the time of this post, I'm still waiting for compensation, which was agreed on the same day we left the property.
