The space
With two master suites and a separate In-law Suite, there is no need to flip a coin to decide who gets the bedroom with the ensuite bath. This property is perfect for multi-generational families. Let Grandma and Grandpa take the separate In-law suite, while mom, dad, and the grandkids take the main house.
Our kitchen provides the perfect backdrop for a delicious meal. Spend your time prepping and staring out the front patio doors at Lake Arenal and Arenal Volcano - it takes the work right out of the job. Then, enjoy dinner at the dining room table or the outdoor patio table, under a canopy of twinkling lights overhead.
So many activities to do, pickleball with 4 covered courts 10 minutes away. Lake Arenal offers kayaking, boating, horseback riding, biking, hot springs, and river rafting.
