Alojamiento junto al mar

Great location on the Chaiten Fiord. The accommodation is located in a cozy cabin connected to the main home of Hector the innkeeper. Brand new shower and bath, wood stove and king sized bed with comforter. Hector didn’t make breakfast but gave us a discount on the room so we could get breakfast in town. Hector was very enthusiastic and helpful.

The only suggestion is that Hector needs a sign for his inn. It is about 1/4 mile down a long unmarked driveway. We stopped at two neighbors for directions. If you are going here, it is the first driveway coming from Chaiten after a sign that says Ecolodge Artisans which an unrelated business.

Location was fantastic, few steps to the beach. Hector, our host was friendly and very helpful. He prepared a delicious breakfast that he brought to cabin every morning. Saw dolphins, sea lions and swans from our window.

Shower was cold.

It was the location close to the beach and the beautiful forest in which our cabina was set that made this my favourite stay of our 10-day road trip in Patagonia. We heard the waves of the Pacific in our bedroom, and when going for a walk at the beach, we saw several dolphins catching their breakfast. The lush green soothed our souls and hid our cabina but let just enough room for glimpses of the sea, and although there was another couple, we hardly noticed them. The wood stove made the lodge really cosy, and Hector delivered nicely presented breakfast in a basket. He built the lodge himself and it shows in a positive way: attention to detail, lots of found wood and other materials, and perfect for the setting in nature. Beautiful designed bedding and towels. We had trouble with catching the ferry from Caleta Gonzales, and Hector was very gracious about changes to the booking.

Although there was a kettle, kitchen facilities would have made this even more perfect. Hector is in the middle of erecting a communal kitchen for the guests, though, and Chaiten is only a five minute drive away. For us, for one night, it did not matter. Wished we could have stayed longer.

good spot by the sea with black necked swans in that area. The bed was large but cold

Extremely expensive at 180 USD per night for essentially a basic fishing lodge. Cold and damp. Very rough old bathroom facilities with broken toilet flush and small inadequate shower. Old rusty stove in an entrance area which required logs to burn. Torn chairs. Meagre breakfast served out of a hold-all. Bizarre owner.

The beautiful location in the forest by the lake. The tasty breakfast. The cozy wood stove. Seeing dolphins swim by. Having our picnic lunch (our food, no restaurant here) on the beach side deck.

The extremely creaky bed, felt like it could collapse at any moment. The lack of signage on the gate. There was NO signage on the gate to the cabins. The curtains were too small for the windows which compromises privacy.

beautiful grounds

hard to keep fire going for warmth

This place was right on the ocean with a beautiful view of the volcano. Truly a magical setting. Just wish we had more time to enjoy this place.

Everything was great.

the place is amazing! beach front, amazing views!

The room was small, heated by a wood burner so very cold if the wood burner went off. The room had NO sea view, you had to walk to the sea instead. We liked to have a breakfast at 7.30 but that wasn’t possible, so he gave it the night before (so it was cold and old) It was far too expensive for what we got, and we had to pay it in cash so he would not have to pay taxes…
