Exclusive Design - Near City
Truly magical! A peaceful, beautiful, well-designed home that was a sanctuary of delight for us (american/colombian couple and our dog). We live in Medellín and came up here for 5 days and loved every second -- a lovely place to unplug and unwind, but we also worked for a few days and the wifi was on point for any remote work. Thoughtful attention to detail with the lighting, accessories and property. Each night curled up in front of the fire on the XL beanbag chair that comfortably fit us 2 plus our dog -- Jose/Dora had extra firewood delivered and were responsive to make sure we had anything we needed. The net connected to the back patio is an amazing place to hang in the afternoon or watch the stars at night curled under a blanket. Bring extra layers as it can get chilly. You're at the top of El Plan, literally on top of the hill, so the view is majestic, surrounded by nature and quiet, lovely plants. Can't say enough good things, we'll be back. Hasta pronto!

El Manantial Chalet - Charm in the mountains
Beautiful finca and peaceful environment. Lovely time with family and comfortable beds. Spacious rooms for game nights with family and picnic afternoons. Thank you Catalina for your welcoming hospitality and generous assistance.

La cabaña estaba muy bien organizada y limpia. El lugar es lindo, tranquilo y perfecto para descansar, alejado de las zonas pobladas. Además, la cocina está completamente equipada con todo lo necesario. ¡Una excelente opción para desconectarse!

Casa Blanca Cabaña de lujo rodeada de naturaleza
Excelente el lugar, exactamente igual que en las fotos!! Muy amable Juan David. Un poco de carretera destapada para ingresar pero puede pasar un automóvil fácilmente.

Cabaña Bosque Parque Arví Petfriendly
The cabin where we stayed is really charming, ideal for a real rest, for getting away from the city noise and for making connection with nature in a beautiful forest that adjoins the cabin; just looking through the windows at the trees that surround it, makes you feel a sense of relaxation. The cabin itself is basic, no luxuries, but enough to feel comfortable and cozy. It is well built (in wood) and all the equipment works well as well as the internet connection; so the cost/benefit ratio is more than fair. The hosts are very nice people and very willing to collaborate and make you feel at home. I can't wait to come back!
