Just awesome
The property itself is amazing. You could spend a few days just exploring the grounds and orchard. It's secluded enough where you can leave the world behind if you want to, but there is plenty do eat and do within a short drive. There is a fabulous bakery and also an amazing restaurant within a few minutes drive. The property owners and hosts, Jose and Christine, are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. They were always available to answer every silly question I had, and were invaluable in giving us guidance and insight that only a local would know. We felt we were leaving friends as we left the house on the last day, and are already talking about our return trip.

An adventure getaway of a lifetime
Our family had an incredible time and experience at Jose and Christine’s beautiful home. For the property itself, we enjoyed the breathtaking views, relaxing pool, and animals. For adventures and excursions in Utuado, we were blessed with Jose and Christine’s in depth knowledge and love of the island, access to some of the most amazing hikes, caves, waterfalls, and swimming holes, and our girls were over the moon with the experience of horseback riding with Jose through the mountains. It was clear that our safety, comfort, and enjoyment were taken into primary consideration when planning and guiding us on the offered tours. They made everything comfortable and it felt like a partnership. We will never forget these times, and will always have the photos and videos to go back to, thanks to Jose and the GoPro footage he offered to capture. Christine is a complete badass, and Jose is so much fun to be around. Highly recommend if you are looking for both relaxation, natural beauty at every turn, and as much adventure as your heart seeks. We are so appreciative of the memories and experiences we had.

Absolute paradise!
Jose and Christine were wonderful hosts! Not only did they show us around several local rivers, bars, and restaurants, but we also felt fortunate they shared their slice of paradise with us. The views from this place (and from the infinity pool!) were to die for. We were able to visit their peacocks and horses alongside the house. They shared so much rich history about PR as well, which definitely enriched our first visit to PR. This mountain retreat (and it's hosts) were the highlight of our trip, which included Old San Juan and Rincón. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We came as renters but left as friends.😊

An experience of a lifetime!
We adored our stay with Christine and Jose. In particular we loved the stunning views from the property, the beautiful outdoor spaces (bar, fire table, gorgeous pool that is heated so our kids could play in it for hours) and the location (remote in the hills with a farm, fruit trees, horses etc.). Being there felt like a truly unique experience and it felt like we got to experience real puerto rico life for a couple of days. We also went on a tour with Jose and Christine and I couldn't recommend it enough. It was the highlight of our boys' trip. We did everything from exploring a cave to cliff jumping, to swimming to a waterfall. All of it was done in a very local and non-touristic way. It was incredible. They even took us to a very cool local bar where we got to meet the owners. All of it was so well put together. It felt like we were just out for the day with two friends for an amazing adventure. My only constructive criticism would be that the unit likely needs to be updated soon. The space is in need of a deep clean and some updating, and the dishes and pots need to be replaced. However, this was a very small thing when taking into account how extraordinary everything else was. Jose and Christine are a pleasure to deal with and we loved spending our time with them. They were amazing with our kids and really made the experience feel special for them.

A Magical Mountain Retreat
Renting this house provided so much more than I could have asked for. This was our first time in PR and we wanted to experience all the Island had to offer. we split our week up in between a few days in the Mountains and on the beach. We arrived on our flight from San Juan and made about a 1.5 hour drive to Utuado. To be upfront the roads are extremely difficult to navigate. You will definitely want to arrive during the day. The roads are only wide enough for one car even though they go both ways. Many of the roads are super steep and have blind corners. But they are manageable especially with the host help. Jose and Christine are by far the best hosts we have ever had. After spending one day with them they felt like family. Not only are they the host of your stay they can be your tour guides. We paid a very reasonable fee (was too low in my opinion) for our group of 6 to do an all day 3 stop tour. As advertised we hiked down a mountain to a beautiful cave and river. Next he took us to a water fall. Finally we went to another river area with rapids to play in. That’s what they advertised. What we got was so much more. To start the day they took us to a local bakery and breakfast shop and between each stop we went to different local establishments for drinks and food. They would always translate when needed and introduce us to all the locals. We met so many amazing people. Learned the history.Life is very different in the mountains. People move slower but in a good way.

FANTASTIC. The house is in such a beautiful area and the views are so wonderful. Honestly the views from this home is not much different than the El Yungue rainforest views. Spectacular. The host are amazing and friendly as was everyone in the area.The home is clean with horses and chickens out the front door and mountain views from the back. Jose and Christine gave us many options for the day with directions and waved us down ( they were at the bar down the road) on the way home when they saw us pass and introduced us to everyone there as well as treated us to a drink. That evening I was able to take a ride with Christine. She knew I loved riding and took me on an unforgettable evening ride with Jose riding behind to light the way. I would return in a heartbeat!!

Mountain Retreat with Spectacular View
We stayed two nights at La Posada Mountain Retreat, starting 1/13/2024. Getting there was a bit of a road adventure requiring careful attention to the directions. But once arriving there, the mountaintop view alone made it worth trip. Spectacular! Our unit accommodations were clean and spacious with three bedrooms and two baths, kitchen, dining area, living room and sitting room. There was a balcony area which was the best way to enjoy the vista, particularly at dawn and dusk where could see the rolling clouds below us blanketing the valley. We enjoyed their pool which was heated, comfortable and provided a relaxing way to end the day with cold beer and to soak in the view. The hosts were gracious and accommodating. The first morning we arose to see the sunrise and Jose was up too in his outdoor kitchen. He offered to make us some proper Puerto Rican coffee which was delicious! They are continuing to make improvements and upgrades to the retreat, and have other plans to expand their amenities. One area that could be improved is the consistency of available hot water for bathing and cleaning dishes. It seems that when guests in other units and the hosts have been using the hot water, the solar heating system may be overtaxed. Otherwise, we throughly enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful Stay!
The view and property are breathtaking! The home is in the jungle and mountains. Christina and Jose live on the top floor, we were in the middle and there is a smaller rental on the bottom (which was vacant). It was nice that they were close by in case we needed anything. We felt extremely safe at the house and surrounding areas. The photos show the home perfectly, however, the views are so much better in person! There are many outdoor areas~a table and hammock in the shade, sitting area near an outside bar and the infinity pool. Jose and Christina were extremely helpful in giving advice on the area and where to go. We lucked out and they were able to give us tours of top places to visit near Utuado including the town of Utuado, Charco Los Morones, Mango Waterfall and the Tanama River Caves (bring watershoes if you go), and suggestions for beaches not in the area. They have beach chairs and pool noodles for use. Jose and Christina set up a horseback riding tour for us to enjoy as well. The sounds of the coqui and other night birds were relaxing. We slept with the windows open each night. If you are a light sleeper and need complete quiet bring a sound machine or ear plugs as this is like most Caribbean islands where roosters crow and animals make night noises. We loved it! The family gave this vacation a 10 out of 10, thanks to spot (and not being a typical resort vacation) and more importantly to our gracious hosts and their suggestions and tours.

Jose and Christina were absolutely great. Very welcoming and accommodating. Even though our youngest was too young to horse back ride they offered alternative things to do and even offered to babysit so the rest of the family could go. So thoughtful! We ended up enjoying the property views and the amazing pool for the time there. Jose and Christina had great restaurant recommendations and even recommended a waterfall and swimming hole on our way to the property from Cabo rojo that we loved. We hope to return when our youngest is old enough to horse back ride and enjoy the other activities. Highly recommend!

We were looking for a home where our kids could experience more of the Puerto Rican culture and less of a resort. We had a wonderful time at La Posada. The views are breathtaking. Our hosts graciously gave us recommendations that were great and led us on a cave tour that was fabulous. You will awaken to the sound of roosters, chickens and horses. It is indoor-outdoor living. It takes about 20 minutes to get up and down the mountain but after a week we felt like pros! San Juan is about 90 minutes away but there is a lot to see closer and it is a beautiful part of the island!

We stayed in Christine and Jose’s home in late July. There were five adults and plenty of room! It was everything I was hoping for! They are the nicest, most attentive couple and made us feel like family. They gave us wonderful ideas and many invites to travel to new places and experience new things. Their home is fantastic and the view is beautiful! Waking up every morning watching the sunrise and the mountains completed our trip! Although they stay in a separate apartment in the home you would never know they were there. We had complete privacy yet they were available if we needed them. I will definitely go back and have already recommended their home to someone! Thank you Christine and Jose!!

The location itself has everything you need and whatever it doesn’t, Jose can get it worked out for you. It is a one stop shop. We hope to stay again on our next trip to Puerto Rico. If you’re a city princess, this may not be for you. But if you’re an individual that wants to experience life away from the everyday hustle and bustle this is it.
