Beautiful location on Rio Celeste
We had a wonderful stay at Rick & Ashley’s home. The eggs, milk, bread, wine, beer & snacks were perfect after a long travel day. The house was a perfect size for our family of four. Thank you again!

Great slice of nature
We loved our stay at casa Rio Familia. The house was equipped with more than we needed. Great snacks and wine and beer plus sodas. The property is quiet and private yet close to everything. Many amazing birds and the gardens in the front are gorgeous. Definitely stay more than one night. Johnny the guide Rick and Ashley recommended was great and reasonably priced.

Amazing stay!
What a great way to start our journey through Costa Rica! Rick was incredibly responsive and made things easy and enjoyable for us throughout our stay. We didn’t see any real grocery stores so we especially appreciated the eggs, tasty fruit, and other items he provided. (If you want wine at home in the evening, buy some before you arrive - closest store doesn’t carry it). The home is lovely and is surrounded by a lush garden and jungle forest. The location couldn’t be better, as it is moments away from the hiking trail to Rio Celeste. Our favorite restaurant was Tapirus Paradise at the end of the street. Amazing food and friendly, attentive service at reasonable prices! We highly recommend staying at Rick’s place. You won’t be disappointed!
