Currently, during extensive renovation, La Casa is being run as an Airbnb. Here are some of the many reviews that we have acquired:

I really enjoyed staying in this secluded part of the rainforest. Kevin took really well care of me and even picked me up when the Uber got lost on the way. He was very friendly and helped with advice on what to do.

John was a wonderful host. We were unable to rent a car so when we got lost with our Uber driver he came and picked us up. He also helped us get dinner and took care of us until we left. The actual place is beautiful! Fireflies at night, two cute puppers and a friendly little hung out with us when we were out. You can really enjoy the rainforest here. So calm and peaceful–we absolutely loved it!

The location is absolutely amazing and you are in the middle of nature even though you are just minutes away from shopping and nightlife. The outdoor shower gives you a million dollar view of the El Yunque forest and the room was clean and spacious. I will absolutely return if I come back to Puerto Rico. Absolutely amazing hosts.

We decided to stay at La Casa’s place because of its proximity to the El Yunque rainforest–it’s practically part of it! While it turned out we had to drive out and back in order to to El Yunque proper, it was still an amazing stay in nature. This is not a pristine condo on the ocean, but a tidy and quirky low-tech retreat in the lush forest. No AC, wifi, or other luxuries, but you’re enveloped by the sounds and smells of nature. I had the best night sleep of our entire trip because of the Coqui (frogs), insects, and occasional rain was hypnotic; if frogs keep you up at night then this may not be the best place. If they don’t keep you up then you’re not going to believe how many creatures will lull you to sleep. This is a fantastic home to get some respite at while enjoying the beautiful sweeping vistas during the day, and the natural sounds at night; we would absolutely stay here again.

True to the pictures! The view was beautiful, very private, cute little place for a couples getaway. We fell in love and will come back in future. Away from all city noise, surrounded by rainforest noise…

The house overlooks the rainforest with a gorgeous view from the porch. Overall it’s very comfortable & has everything you would need. And bonus it came with two adorable puppies that greeted us in the driveway. Will definitely stay again next time I’m in Rio Grande.
Lily
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Such a quaint little escape in the rainforest. Very unique and would definitely recommend this experience. The puppies are so friendly and adorable!
Biz
Quaint cabin with a beautiful view that reaches the ocean. We especially enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the evening when the rain suddenly rolled in, drinking coffee and playing with the two adorable dogs on the property. Loved sleeping with the sounds of the crickets and frogs in the forest. Would definitely recommend!

La Casa was a great place. The location is in the rain forest and very close to the wedding venue I was going to, Hacienda Siesta Alegre. I could have walked there but my friend dropped me off after the wedding and it was only a couple of minutes away. I took a warm shower and went to bed. I feel asleep to the sounds of the forest. It was so nice. When I woke up in the morning I really didn’t want to leave. The only thing that may be a concern is that its a natural place, I didn’t see an A/C which may be a turn off for some but wasn’t a big deal to me. I was able to relax, have a beer on the porch and listen the the forest. Very nice way to start the afternoon.

What a beautiful spot! We arrived in San Juan from a cruise early on Saturday morning, and Jill let us drop off our bags early so we could go explore El Yunque nearby. We were also greeted by the two most adorable puppies who we quickly became friends with. It is hot, even at night, so what I recommend is taking a cool shower before hopping into the bed. Also, I had no idea that a rainforest could be so loud, but it is teeming with wildlife – light sleepers may want to bring some earplugs. Nevertheless, this was the best AirBNB experience I’ve had to date. The cottage is small but beautiful, and the puppies were the cherry on top. If we didn’t have a flight out the next day, we would have definitely loved to have stayed a few more days. I would recommend this to any couple or person looking to experience a nice cottage near the rainforest.

Loved this place! The cottage was bright, spacious, and cheerful. The decor gave a sense of being at home. Surroundings were beautiful, relaxing, and a great accompaniment for a day exploring El Yunque. The host was super helpful and attentive, even responding us in the early morning when we realized we had forgotten to pack soap. Would definitely book again if we come back to El Yunque in the future.

Peace, and beautiful views. This place was so beautiful we didn’t want to leave. We had everything we needed to be comfy. Definitely stay here!
Anna
What a wonderful place to stay! The little cottage is surrounded by glorious greenery, fruit trees, and spectacular views. The hosts are warm, laid back, sweet people; they fed us delicious food and coffee, and were extremely helpful with advice and directions for each of our days excursions. Would go back in a heartbeat!

If you’re looking for natural beauty, this is the place to go. On the property they have huge mango and eucalyptus trees, and an ylang ylang tree too (which I had never seen before!) The house is charming, clean and comfortable. I went to bed hearing the sounds of nature and could truly disconnect while in total comfort. Everything from check in to check out was smooth. I’ll be back – hopefully for a lot longer next time!

Feels like staying in the middle of your own jungle!

Such hospitable people! They stayed up late for us to check in and walked us to our little condo on the property. At breakfast they gave us coffee, fresh grown papaya and bananas, as well as coconuts before we ventured to the rainforest. Lovely people with great views and quiet ambience. Only the frogs and crickets could be heard. Amazing
