In few words, stunning! This place is breathtaking. From the moment we arrived we felt welcome. Communication with Edgardo was flawless and very responsive. Edgardo is a great host and made our stay enjoyable. The view from the lake house is amazing, access to the lake was easy, we enjoyed the kayaking and there is also access to jet ski and boats for an additional price. The lake house is well stocked with towels, toilet paper, paper towels. The kitchen has everything you need. Drinkable water was supplied by Edgardo. Housekeeping was great, we received free cleaning, clean bedding and towels on our 3rd day. Karina was always attentive to our needs, we got our laundry done and folded as well. The drive to the lake house itself it’s a bit difficult since there is no paved roads but you get to see and make the experience a bit more special. We went to the store nearby to get tortillas, eggs, cream, ice, even ice cream. There is a small restaurant that delivers food right to the door. Prices are reasonable and food is great. Definitely looking to come back in soon.

Nuestra elección de hospedaje fue un éxito! Hospedarnos aquí fue una experiencia simplemente maravillosa. Desde el momento en que entramos sentimos una paz y una calidez difíciles de describir. Este Airbnb no solo tiene todas las comodidades que uno desea, sino también ese toque especial que te hace sentir verdaderamente bienvenido. Cada espacio refleja dedicación, detalle y cariño. Dormimos cómodamente, disfrutamos cada rincón y vivimos momentos muy especiales allí. Realmente fue un hogar lejos de casa. Además, Doña Graciela fue una excelente anfitriona. Siempre amable, atenta y dispuesta a ayudarnos en todo momento. Nos brindó cada recomendación que le pedimos y estuvo pendiente de que no nos faltara nada. Su hospitalidad hizo que nuestra experiencia fuera aún más hermosa. Sin duda es un lugar al que volveríamos sin pensarlo y que recomendamos con todo el corazón. 💫🏡💖
