La Muñequita Lodge 1 - culture & nature experience

La Muñequita Lodge offers a very private and immersive experience in nature, making you feel completely alone. The friendly owners are always up for a chat, and we thoroughly enjoyed spending hours talking with them after (a very nice) breakfast. One of the highlights was waking up to an incredible variety of birds just outside our cabin—we counted over 37 species!

However, it's important to know what you're booking. The experience is very basic and rustic, sharing our room with three resident bats is something we didn't mind, but could be off-putting for some. The bathroom could also use some attention, as it was an issue for my partner, though it fits the back-to-basics experience. There's not much to do around Sierpe other than using it as a transfer point to the Osa Peninsula. While nature enthusiasts will love this place as a stopover, the lack of activities in the area means it's not ideal for a longer stay. Overall, La Muñequita Lodge is perfect for those seeking a secluded, nature-focused stopover on their way south.

We came as strangers and left as friends. Heiner you and your family are wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing your farm life and your big heart with us!! We will come back! Much love, Sonja, Leo and Helena

Wow... Staying at La Muñequita Lodge is so much more than just somewhere to sleep. It´s like entering a new, exciting, relaxing, friendly world - with a lot of animals, exotic trees and flowers. The hosts are superfriendly and helpful. The house was spectacular. Basic in one way, but exclusive in another. One detail is that I really loved the wooden floor. So soft for your bare feet. Delicious breakfast and dinner. It was very interesting to hear the hosts history of how they ended up here, and take part of their future plans for their small business. We could safely park our rental car here while we spent three days in Drake Bay. It felt much better than park it by the harbour. The hosts really have big hearts and you leave with a better belief for the humanity. I can strongly recommend to stay here. I will be jealous of everyone of you that will.

Great hospitality, fantastic people, colourful environment. Loved it!

Very close to nature yet super comfortable with fine bathroom and shower, mosquito net to protect during sleep and the most chilled hammock on the balcony to enjoy birds and monkeys

This was a very spartan bungalow in the jungle. No A/C, but the fans were just fine. Though it was spartan, it was spacious and very enjoyable. Henyer and his wonderful munequita were wonderful. The breakfast was excellent!

Really cosy hut in the middle of Heyner's farm. Surrounded by nature, you can here the birds and monkeys. Heyner and his family are really kind and offer a great experience to explore Cost Rica from another perspective. Definitely try the home cooked dinner!

For pure nature lovers! This is amazing place . Very friendly and helpful owners ;) we recommend this place!

Location super, food very nice.

No fridge, no WiFi hard access when wet.
