A 5-Star Experience

Review submitted: April 4, 2012   Date of arrival: March 6, 2012

The cottage is really very nice. With a little more storage space, it could be a permanent residence.
The view from the front porch is outstanding. The trails with benches are modest in length, but are quite nice.
The nearby town of San Ramon is a good place to experience Costa Rican culture and life style. Do not miss the Friday/Saturday farmer's market.
Norm & Collie were very hospitable. They could not have been more helpful. They were happy to answer all of our many questions.

Top of the World!

Mark & Addy (Seattle, WA)
Review submitted: March 6, 2012   Date of arrival: February 27, 2012

Norm and Collie, I can’t believe you’ve moved to the TOP OF THE WORLD! We loved your casita so much you were at risk for having to kick us out!

The view of the sunset from the lanai was totally awesome and on a clear night, we could see the twinkling lights around Nicoya. At 4800’ we do touch the clouds don’t we?

Remember the morning I decided to record the sweeping view of the valley? The little church in the community of Berlin on the other side which normally looked crystal clear played hide and seek behind the swirling fog! When the sun is up, the rolling hills of trees and coffee look sooo peaceful.

We heard the Tucan calls but couldn’t see it even when you tried to point it out to us. We did see a coatimundi outside your gate and thought it was your pet.

We agree the temperature range is perfect at that altitude. The constant breeze keeps the air fresh during the day. Surprisingly the winds seemed to pick up quite a bit at night. Maybe it isn’t like that all year round.

The winds howled the 3 nights we were there, making it more romantic to burrow under the cozy down comforter. :-) We knew how solid your construction is hence we felt secure.

It is laughable our rental car was the smallest available, a Suzuki. We had no idea what to expect. Fortunately the main road up the mountain was paved. The only iffy part was a very small section of the gravel road down to your gate.

Thank you for your very generous hospitality during our stay:
Your banana bread,.. stories over dinner about old friends & colleagues back in Seattle and your move to Costa Rica,.. inviting us to tag along to the Botanical Garden, orchid & bromeliad nurseries,.. walking your trails,.. meeting your friends Eric & Josee and Alejandro.
Mark wanted to add that smelling fresh laundry after being in the tropics a week was heaven! :-)
Thank you and good to see you again!
We hope to be back.

My husband and I spent the first few days of our honeymoon based out of Norm and Collie's casita. We were amazed at the beautiful mountain top view, and enjoyed the trails located on the property. Norm and Collie spent time orienting us to the town of San Ramon and gave us advice on good places to go for day trips - they were very helpful and responsive without being intrusive. The casita had everything you would need for a nice relaxing stay - hot shower, small kitchen with dishes and cookware, towels, cds, movies, and Scrabble. It did get a bit chilly at night, so bring a pair of sweats. You will need to rent a car to stay here because it is located outside of the main town - and be warned that the Costa Rican roads are only for the adventurous. We absolutely loved our stay here!
