Jungle Oasis
I can't say enough amazing things about this place! Pete and Deb become friends and make your experience (not just a stay) as seemless as possible. We stayed a few different places in the week we were in CR and nothing topped this. The home is open and beautiful, the property is breathtaking, and the time the hosts took to make our memories unforgettable, is so rare and appreciated.

Rainforest Retreat
This was the perfect place for our family. We wish we could have stayed and enjoyed the property longer. Our host was fantastic and attentive. Her employees were the best. We loved the hikes we did on the property and the swim in the waterfall. We also did a night tour with Jose' and had a great time seeing all the critters. (My daughter is a biology major so she could have explored this property for many more days.) It is a rustic feel in the middle of the rainforest which is what we wanted. We highly recommend it for those wanting to stay IN the rainforest.

Family Destination Christmas
Delightful place to stay, property and scenery beautiful. Deborah and Jose are amazing. Cleo, our chef, is a gem. Definitely need your own transportation as shuttles are expensive due to location of property.

great place
Great place to stay, went with a group of friends, Debra was an excellent host, very accommodating and hospitable, she helped us book several excursions and made sure we got there on time, it does take about 25 minutes to drive to town but has cool scenic views on the way, house and property are nice, would certainly recommend this place over some boring hotel

Adventure
It was an adventure to stay in the jungle. We loved having a private river to hike 1/2 mile to anytime we wanted. Host Debra and Jose the guide were great and helped us book any excursions we needed. The falls were not going while we were there due to summer dry season. Home can get warm in the really hot humid days and some bugs in the home but nothing not expected staying in the jungle. We loved the privacy of the place! The whole family had a good time.

Excellent getaway
SO. MUCH. FUN. My two teenagers and I had such a fantastic week! The home was a little more remote than I expected but having a rental car made it super easy. Deborah was extremely helpful and responsive and did a great job facilitating our activities. Jose was a great steward on-site and helped us understand the local Flora and Fauna. I'd go back in a heartbeat!!!

An incredible 27 day stay in the middle of the rainforest. Beautiful, functional original house!
The property was easy to rent. We put in our requested dates and we had confirmation in a very short time. Very easy.

A wonderful and beautiful stay.
We had a great time staying at Peter's place. Peter showed us around his ace and was very informative on the flora and fauna. The house was well equipped with everything we needed and the grounds were a tropical paradise (really). Recommend to anyone that is not bothered by an approximate 40minute drive from Quepos down some bumpy but pretty dirt roads.

Jungle Jim
The place was so awesome ! In the middle of the thickest rain forest jungle. Big time privacy. Waterfalls and swimming holes on the property. Debra ( the owner) was so much help in arranging our excursions and shuttles. And José, the handyman and nature guru, was amazing on our tours. If sitting at resorts drinking all day by the pool is your thing, this is not for you. But if you love nature and adventure , I recommend it highly.

Get away from it all
If you want to get away from it all - this is your place! This home allows you to connect with nature with an open air concept. It is nestled up in the rainforest about a 40 minute drive from Quepos on an unpaved road (recommend a 4WD). The owners are absolutely gracious and provided fresh fruit and eggs. The highlight of the trip was the nature walk and swim at the private waterfall!

Perfect Getaway
We went on this trip looking to take a breather and relax after all the hectic stress of wedding planning. We got that and more. Our stay was tailored to our needs and was so relaxing. We were able to go to bed and wake up to the sounds of the rainforest. The food was excellent and Deb and Pete were great hosts. I wanted to stay! Looking forward to going back one day!

Relax and unwind!
Second stay with Peter and Deborah and most definitely not the last! This is the perfect property to start a Costa Rican vacation....with the constant sound of the river and waterfalls in the background your stress will melt away almost immediately! The house is spacious and comfortable and you can have meals prepared and served if you wish. A true slice of paradise here......

Felt like we were living in a tree house
It was amazing to go to sleep and wake up to the sounds of the rainforest. This home opens to beautiful views of the rainforest on all sides so it felt like we were deep within the jungle. Peter gave us a super informative tour of the property including an awesome waterfall and swimming hole. Deborah was wonderful with planning and helping us book tours in the area. They went above and beyond what's expected of hosts.

Incredible Costa Rica experience
We had an amazing time at the Light of Dawn! Complete Costa Rica experience…waking up to the birds and wildlife and jungle…hiking to a spectacular private waterfall and watching the rushing river from by the falls. Deborah was so kind and helpful and helped us with all of our excursion planning and made things so easy! No frills and older simple accommodations but have us an authentic experience of this part of Costa Rica. It is a hike to town on a rocky windy road for 1/2 of the time but it was worth it! The drive to and from the house was really part of the adventure and it was a beautiful drive. Jose took us on a fun Jungle night tour and we learned alot and loved it! Ziplining was also super fun! Thanks for the adventure and perfect experience for our family!

Beautiful property and excellent hosts!
We booked after reading all the positive reviews and were not disappointed! The property was absolutely beautiful and incredibly well-maintained. Deborah and Pete were wonderful hosts, and Pete's tour made the trip for us. Having their recommendations for tours and excursions ensured we got to see the best Costa Rica had to offer, while the seclusion of the house allowed us to relax and enjoy the rainforest. The pictures do not even come close to doing the property justice -- it is an unbelievably beautiful spot that you have to see to believe it's real. We had an amazing time -- thank you!

Book Your Stay!
We enjoyed the stay in the rain forest. The drive up to the house is an adventure, itself. We visited the beach during the day and experienced the calm of the rain forest with a night hike in the evening. Communications were great! If you are looking for something different or unique - stay here! The hike and waterfall are amazing. We did some grocery shopping on the way so, I recommend this. You won't want to go back and forth to the store.

Wonderful tropical paradise
We had a wonderful time at this mountaintop getaway. The home is a bit remote but once you get there you discover that it is worth the drive. It is large, comfortable and surrounded by beautiful views of the rainforest and all that goes with it. The homeowners did everything possible to ensure we had a wonderful visit and having a chef available made our vacation even more relaxing and enjoyable. Definitely the best of Costa Rican hospitality.

Beautiful property experiences
This was a beautiful, remote location offering 200 acres to explore and enjoy without the inconvenience of other tourists. Deborah went out of her way to ensure we only had the best experience. Jose, our property tour guide, naturalist, and an integral part of Deborah’s support staff, is a wealth of knowledge about the jungle and showed us plants and animals that we’ll never forget. The property has beautiful waterfalls, wonderful swimming hole, and flora and fauna that delivered a once in a lifetime experience. Deborah also arranged for us an exquisite in-home dinning experience with her local friend and chef, Cleo; this is something you definitely want to try. Although somewhat of a rustic place (no air conditioning), we enjoyed awakening every morning to the sounds of the wildlife. In short, the people associated with this property are some of the finest you can ever meet.

Was great!
We enjoyed our stay very much! The hosts were great at helping book the extra activities that we did. They went above and beyond to help us. Even when I made a mistake on my own, they verified that we would be OK anyway. A 4-wheel drive vehicle was recommended and definitely made the drive out to the property easier, but was not required. There was a panaderia right off the road on the way there. Highly recommend stopping there to get some delicious treats. The meat-stuffed breads were top-notch.
