Cabins

Quetzal Valley Cabins offers eight rustic cabins available for rent, situated in the mountainous wilderness of San Gerardo de Dota. Each cabin is two stories high, equipped with a kitchen, private bathroom, electric heater, and a balcony to enjoy the natural scenery. Additionally, three smaller single-room cabins are available, accommodating 2-3 guests and providing a private bathroom.

Birdwatching

The hotel is renowned for its birdwatching opportunities, particularly the Resplendent Quetzal. With 167 bird species reported by eBirders, including over 40 endemic species, bird lovers will find a rich avifauna in the area. Guests can also enjoy private trails on the property, totaling more than 8 km, leading to stunning bird observation points.

Trails

The property includes six private trails, offering guests over 8 km of exploration through unique landscapes. Two trails extend along 1.0 km of the Savegre River, ideal for accessing waterfalls and observing aquatic birds. Other trails lead through the Cloud Oak Forest toward Cerro de la Muerte, the highest peak on the Inter-American Highway.

Dining

For dining options, breakfast and home-cooked meals are available for $6 provided by neighbor Doña Miriam, located a short 5-minute walk away. Guests can enjoy authentic local cuisine, enhancing their experience of the area. The proximity to local food sources offers a convenient dining solution while exploring the destination.

Such efforts support both sustainability and a commitment to preserving the natural environment in the region.
