Excellent on all counts. Ruben was lovely and helpful. Dolly was a grand cook. We will definitely return for another visit as our four nights was too short.

Casa Rio
Stayed here for four nights. A little oasis in the middle of the rainforest! We had such a great time. You always feel supported, Simone makes sure you get to do everything and that your day is always booked. Reuben is always on time for your excursions! And get dolly to come cook for you because we were never hungry!! So good. Another awesome add on, was Sarah, the massage therapist. She comes right to the house! So amazing

The highlight of our Costa Rican vacation!
A stay at Casa Rio Sierpe is a ‘must do’ if you are traveling to Costa Rica. We were met by friendly Simone who will greeted us when we arrived and was always available to help with any questions or arrangements we had during stay. Our wonderful guide Ruben was at our beck and call and guided us through many of the available activities. There are no shortage of adventures to keep guests busy. The accommodations are private, clean and very relaxing. You’ll want to take some time to enjoy the beautiful deck. And finally I would absolutely recommend bringing in Dolly to cook your meals. A wonderful woman and an amazing cook!

Peaceful
Such a grwat opportunity to enjoy the the beuty of being so far away from cities. I would highly recomend staying here.
Simone, Reuban and Dolly were there for every need if we needed theor help.
Dolly should be some award winning chef so dont oass up her option to cook.
Reuban and his family are so kind and helped us on a a few adventures.
I think the best part was Luna their small black dog. Always coming to greet you at the end of driveway and at the dock.
Thanks to all gor making are trip wonderful.

Wonderful remote river property
We had a wonderful stay at the river property. Ruben and his wife were wonderful and took care of us, helping to make sure that we had lots of fun with various activities. The views are beautiful from the balconies. It is a warm humid environment but the fans help. Upstairs with king bed is cooler than downstato. We were able to see howler monkeys from the porch. We also saw a sloth sleeping up in the tree. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. The walk to get to the house is quite steep so making sure that you're able to do that is imperative. We enjoyed the night hike. The meals with Dolly were delicious and very filling. She even offered the leftovers for the next day. Make sure you make a grocery shop prior to getting there as there are no stores near you.

Rainforest adventure
The home was centrally located on Rio Sierpe. We saw or heard monkeys nearly every day. Its a beautiful tree house high on a ridge. The master bedroom with master bath on the second level with a great view. The main level was an open floor plan with 4 sliding doors to the back deck where we had dinner and relaxed each evening. There is no AC but plenty of ceilings fans. There is a second bedroom on the main floor as well as a 2-3 additional sleeper couches in the living room. A second full bath on the main floor. The kitchen is well stocked. What made it even more special was meeting the people who helped make your stay even better- Ruben and his family, Dolly, and Simone

Best week of our 3 in Cost Rica
The house is totally beautiful & immaculate with daily cleaning. We were welcomed with cold lemonade, cool eucalyptus scented cloths, & friendly smiling faces.
The access to the house is steep, but in spite of that it was our very best week of the 3 we spent in Costa Rica.
The view, the toucans & other beautiful birds visible from our balconies were awesome.
The support staff were incredible: Special thankyou's to Rueben who was always available to take us kayaking through the mangroves, fishing, boating, visiting the most incredible beach, day or night hiking, & fixing the pump within 5 minutes of our call.
AND, we have to add this: make Dolly, the cook, part of your visit! Her dinners were like a 5 star hotel, but so reasonably priced. She herself was a ray of sunshine!
All in all it was wonderful. 5 stars from us. We miss Luna!

Spectacular Sierpe House & Staff!
Don’t hesitate, just book this house now and get ready for an incredible Costa Rican adventure. As soon as we booked, we received info and help for organizing our transport and ideas for things we could do during our stay. Throughout our visit Simone was available the entire time to help with any questions and to plan out every single day of our visit. Can’t say enough great things about Simone! Having Ruben as our boat driver and guide for the entire visit was the highlight of our trip. No boring tours in large groups of tourists! Ruben took us kayaking, fishing every day, boating through the mangroves to see monkeys, even on a night hike. We absolutely loved exploring the area with him. And after a day of adventures you can sit at the house watching monkeys or toucans right from the beautiful large decks, relaxing in a hammock or rocking chair while Dolly cooks you a delicious dinner. We also did the horseback riding and snorkeling at Cano island, both also memorable activities. We travelled with our 3 children and it was a family vacation we will never forget. Yes, the walk up the hill to the house is steep, but so worth it to be up in the trees surrounded by nothing but nature and beautiful views. Then when you are ready to explore Ruben is waiting at the bottom of the hill at your private dock to take you wherever you want to go!

Cultural Immersion
My two grandchildren (ages 11 and 23) and I had an adventure of a lifetime. We felt we were experiencing the real Costa Rica with the horseback ride into the hills, snorkeling off Cano Island with the turtles, viewing humpback whales, picking up sand dollars off the nearby beach, quietly exploring the maze of mangrove swamps, and drinking from a freshly-cut coconut on Jose’s fruit farm. We were able to get by with our very minimal Spanish. After our excursions, it was a delight to return to the house and “chill” while Dolly cooked our exquisite dinners. Everything was fresh and we usually had leftovers for the next day. My area was the upstairs and the kids had the downstairs. Ruben and his wife helped with getting us to places, cleaning, and laundry. Everybody associated with this villa was very kind and you had no worries. My grandchildren still talk about the trip. This region is so lush with flora and fauna. Yes, we saw monkeys and sloths in the nearby area. We highly recommend the Casa Rio Sierpe! It’s more than lodging; it’s an immersive cultural experience.

We had an excellent stay at Mark and Lisley's property in Sierpe! Communication was great, with the most essential elements arranged not long after booking. The staff coordinated private transport between the airport and the property for us, and also booked the Cano Island snorkeling excursion and the visit to Corcovado National Park in advance. We also did horseback riding, a night hike, kayaking, and a tour of the mangrove and the fruit farm. We booked Dolly to prepare our dinners, which was such a treat for us! The views from the back porch were absolutely beautiful. the house has an airy feel to it; we often kept the front and back doors open.We communicated with the guest relations managers (Rayna and Simone) via WhatsApp, and this worked well as the property's wi-fi was good. On-site staff spoke limited English and I speak limited Spanish. We were able to communicate fairly well, and also used Google Translate when needed. Phone service was decent (we both have Verizon); one of us couldn't make phone calls 1-2 of the days but that could have been her somewhat older phone (iPhone 13) or something about her company's phone plan. We were able to call and text from my iPhone 16 from the house without issues.We would absolutely stay here again (and this was actually the second visit for one member of our party). One note -- the driveway to the house is quite steep, which we enjoyed because it gave us a good workout! But this might not be to everyone's liking.

What more could you want?
If we had to sum up this vacation in one word, it would definitely be "amazing"!
The house was gorgeous, with its beautiful deck and its stunning view, which was our spot for relaxing; its warmth with all the wood; its great bathrooms that almost make you feel like you're taking your shower outside..... It was all fantastic!!!
But THE best part of it all was the people. Ruben was so accomodating and always ready to help plan our next adventure; Adrianna, his wife, did a wonderful job keeping the house beautiful and spotless. And then, there was Dolly. She is a ball of energy, who always has something to say and is so incredibly sweet. She came in every day (we stayed 13 days) with what she needed, cooked for 21/2 hours, served us a really great meal, cleaned the kitchen and went home. We threatened to kidnap her and already miss her much.
Simone, our english-speaking liaison was also a great help whenever we needed her.
All in all, a wonderful place to do a lot or a lot of nothing.
It was just the perfect vacation we needed!

Paradise in the Rainforest
Casa Rio Sierpe is amazing! I have been to Costa Rica twice, have stayed in many locations and this is my favorite! When booking I was looking for a more authentic Costa Rica experience, away from tourist resorts. The house is immaculate and beautiful. The team that takes care of you while you are there can not be beat. Simone was amazing and helped answer all of our question quickly. Ruben was great as well, he took us on a night hike, my husband had a great time fishing with him, and we visited Jose's fruit farm (do not miss this)! Just being in the boat and riding through the mangroves was one of the highlights of my trip. Don't miss out on Dolly's cooking, her food is incredible! She prepares an amazing three course meal. We have been home almost a week and are still talking about Dolly each night at dinner. My girls keep reminding me that I am supposed to ask for her juice recipes (best juice I have ever had in my entire life). We also worked with Rayna who booked an outside tour for us to Corcovado National Park and Cano Island. Mark was also great to work with. He quickly answered all of my questions and provided thorough documentation about the house, area and tours available. I highly recommend Casa Rio Sierpe!

Heaven awaits high above the river
However you learn about Casa Rio Sierpe, from friends or the internet, you will never be fully prepared for the magic awaiting you. Mark provides a tome of useful information which is invaluable for orientation- absorb and follow it. He took the time to answer all of our naive questions without an issue. When we arrived in Sierpe we were met by part of the Casa Rio team, in our case Simone and Rueben. The two whisked our group from the real world into the grand adventure our following week would become. The trip through the mangroves to the dock was filled with sighting of crocs, monkeys and lots of birds. The legendary hill climb to the house is transformational and completely manageable. As you make the final turn and see the house you will realize what a great decision you have made. It is such a beautiful structure and the staff were so welcoming. The options are endless on ways to fill your days. We spent hours sitting on the deck watching birds and monkeys, went exploring the mangroves and fishing with Reuben, snorkeling with Simone at Caño Island, visited a local garden and spent a day in Corcovado Park. We chose to have Dolly prepare all of our dinners and we highly encourage everyone to do the same. She was such a great cook, wonderful person and we had a great time getting to know her. Thank you Mark and crew for sharing this slice of paradise with us, you all have created an experience we will never forget.

A place that truly exceeds all expectations!!!
Our stay was an exceptional experience from beginning to end!!!! The incredible description of the property and opportunities, which by the way sound spectacular, don't do justice to the experience this amazing property and the people who take such fantastic care of it, and you, provide! The owner is a pleasure to communicate with and is one of the most prompt responders I have had the pleasure of dealing with. From Simone greeting you in Sierpe and delivering you to the house in person, to Dolly waiting on the porch with fresh squeezed lemonade and frosted eucalyptus infused towels to refresh you, to the soft spoken, but extremely warm and welcoming Rueben who takes care of your every boating/kayaking/hiking/fishing/beach-going desire, I cannot say enough what a fantastic experience our stay was!!! The house is beautiful and so well cared for!!! Mark makes sure that you have an exceptional cup of coffee to start your days! Reuben helps fill your days with unique and amazing adventures, and Dolly makes sure you go home a few pounds heavier than you came with her exceptional cooking. Don't miss the trip to meet Jose and his fruit garden among the mangroves. There is nothing like it. Thank you to each one of you who make this such a special little corner of the globe!!!!

A magical remote jungle stay
If you are looking for a genuine Costa Rica experience, this is it! The house is perched in the jungle, with screens for walls, so the sounds of the jungle surround you at night, yet keep out unwanted creatures. Howler monkeys and toucans hang out in the trees right off the deck, that is comfortably equipped with rocking chairs, a sofa sectional, and huge table that we ate at every night. There are surprisingly very few mosquitoes, testimony to the rare opportunity to spend a few days in a balanced ecosystem. Adventures in the boat with Ruben are so special, our favorites were looking for animals in the mangroves, visiting fruit island, and swims at the beach just down the river. We have 3 school age kids, and this is our second trip to Costa Rica, and our instinct was to over-program with a trip to Corcovada. However, exploring the river and surrounding area were truly more rewarding. Dolly cooked for us every night, delicious and authentic meals, just like all the reviews say. What I didn't realize is that Simone, an English speaking tour guide based out of Sierpe, also helps with logistics. Our travel plans leaving Sierpe were completely derailed with a broken ferry dock and
bridge, and she quickly helped us find a new solution to our next destination. Our only negative is personal- we didn't think through what living off the grid means, but within a day we adjusted, and were totally rewarded with a trip that we will never forget.

Five-star adventure!
I'm honestly having a bit of trouble putting the magic of Casa Rio Sierpe into words. The home itself is beautifully-designed and comfortable, and it's tucked into a gorgeous, remote setting. I loved sitting on the expansive deck with my binoculars watching toucans and other tropical birds fly from tree to tree. There is no AC in this home, but the ceiling fans allowed us to sleep comfortably and the screens let in the symphony of sounds that come from the surrounding jungle. The walk up the driveway is quite a hike in itself (so don't ignore Mark's caution about needing to be in decent physical shape to stay here), but the exertion is worth it!
The house itself, however, is only a small fraction of the magic that comes with booking this property. Mark was a friendly and fast communicator. Rayna, the travel planner who works with this property, helped us book transportation and tours in advance of our stay. Simone, the nearby English-speaking concierge, was available to help us plan each day of our to our fullest. Ruben, the on-site guide, took us on many wonderful adventures (visiting the fruit farm and kayaking in the mangroves were favorites). Adriana made sure the house was sparkling each day and helped us with our laundry. Last but not least, we paid for Dolly's dinners each day, and they were an absolutely delicious way to wrap up each day of adventure. While the Casa itself is incredible, it's the people involved with this trip that really made this trip magical!

An adventure not to be missed!
Initially reading the property description we knew it was special and different from the typical vacation spot so we booked a week at Casa Rio Sierpe. It did not fail to deliver!
Mark’s was great to deal with he provided all the information we needed prepare for the trip what was included, what to bring, and what to watch out for. He put us in touch with Rayna who in turn was fantastic. She helped us arrange transportation to and from the house along with a couple private excursions to El Cano Island and Corcovado National Park. Cesar was our guide, very passionate about his job and wanted to make sure we got the most out of our experience. Also want to recognize captain Steven who expertly navigated the boat in and out of the ocean breakwater. Aparently we were there on one of the roughest weeks of the year.
Once we got to Sierpe Simone took over, again fantastic. She met us at the super-market helped us purchase supplies for the week, accompanied us to the house, gave us a ton of information about the area. Then through out the week she kept us informed each and every night with the next day’s opportunities.
Ruben was a gem! He not only was our boat captain for the week. Took us fishing a couple times, kayaking among the mangroves (not to be missed), trip to the visit Jose at the fruit farm, trips back and forth from the beach and was extremely helpful getting luggage to and from the house. And need to mention Luna his dog, she was always happy to see us always accompanied us on walks, horseback riding and back and forth from the dock.
A daily visit from Adriana to keep the house in order and clean was greatly appreciated. The house was setup wonderful and very comfortable. You can tell there was a lot of thought and care taken when planning and building. With great views, lots of vegetation and several visits from the local monkeys.
And then of course Dolly who was available to cook for us the last 5 nights of our stay. The food was wonderful and greatly appreciated after long days of adventures.
A fantastic adventure! Fun was had by all. Highly recommend a stay at Casa Rio Sierpe!!

Lovely home, fantastic location, STELLAR local team
Travelled here with my girlfriend and one of our best friends. We had an absolutely wonderful time!
Before getting into details, I want to say that the local/onsite team at this home truly made our trip. Ruben and his wife are from the area- she took immaculate care of the home while he took us to beaches in the evening and on short trips during the day. I largely wanted to visit Oso peninsula to see sloths and Ruben tirelessly guided us on his boat until we found some. It was so magical.
Dolly came and made us dinner every night. My pants no longer fit but it was worth it. She’s so skilled at cooking a wide variety of cuisines! Our favorites were the whole fried fish and pork steak. Ask for her special hot sauce- so fresh and bright! She also made amazing arepas for lunch one day- best I’ve ever had. Love you Dolly!!
Simone is the property manager. She has such a beautiful, warm energy. I appreciated her understanding that we are “hands off” guests- she gave us space to relax while still managing and organizing our activities. It should be noted that she bakes a mean pie. Thanks, Simone!
Location: remote, but not so much so that you feel isolated- Ruben and his family live at the bottom of the (very steep) trail to the house and Simone (local property manager- love her!) is maybe 10 minutes away by boat. Amazing view of the Sierpe river and the surrounding jungle. We spent our mornings watching toucans and monkeys from the outdoor dining room/porch area. The foliage is breathtaking.
While it didn’t present as issue for us, interested parties should note that the hill to the house really is a trek. You’ll definitely want shoes with Vibram soles or trail shoes.
Amenities: more than adequate. Great showers! Lots of cozy places to lay down and have a siesta.
Included activities: we scheduled to balance relaxing and working from home with having an immersive experience. Horseback riding with Ruben was 10/10- totally worth the $60pp. Ruben also took us on a night walk- highly recommend. The array of bugs, spiders, snakes and bats that come out after sunset was stunning. Bring a headlamp- the more powerful the better.
We also booked a snorkeling excursion with Cesar to Kanu island. He is an excellent guide!
All in all, we hope to stop over again next year on our annual to South America. I already miss the din of cicadas at night. :)

A magical trip!!
My husband and I just returned home from spending 10 beautiful days at Casa Rio Sierpe. We had the most magical time. The house is even more beautiful than the pictures. It is exceptionally clean and comfortable. We loved lounging on the day bed near the kitchen and listening to the rain and animals of the forest.
Gosh, we loved everything! The location was perfect. Every morning we awoke to the sound of the howler monkeys and birds and looked forward to meeting Ruben at the boat and going on an adventure. The time spent with Ruben exploring the mangroves, Rio Sierpe and Playa Boca Sierpe was priceless and is marked in our memories forever.
We hired the lovely and amazing Dolly to cook all our dinners, and we are so glad we did. It was so nice to come home from a day at the beach, etc...and have a delicious meal cooked for us. We talked and laughed with Dolly every night and devoured her meals.
The entire experience was perfect. From planning the trip and receiving prompt and thorough responses to my questions from Mark, to the arrival in Sierpe and being greeted by Simone and Ruben, to the amazing days exploring the river and beach with Ruben, dinners with Dolly, learning so much from Simone about the area and all of the magic it houses, and horseback riding with Rodolfo which was SO enjoyable....this entire package and more made our trip, the trip of a lifetime. Each member of the staff is a treasure. We miss them and Sierpe already, so busy planning our next trip.
We feel very grateful that Mark and Lisely have created this gem of a home and have invited all of us to experience the wonders of Sierpe and the Osa Peninsula. We left Osa taking long, deep breaths and have hearts full of joy. Thank you!

Better than advertised
My husband and I have just returned from our first trip to Costa Rica. We stayed in Casa Rio Sierpe for the first week. That week was absolutely extraordinary! The house is beautiful and very comfortable in a serene jungle setting. We were so well taken care of that we immediately felt at home. Simone escorted us to the house and checked in with us each day. Ruben, our boat captain, took us all through out the mangrove forest and river. His wife, Adriana, kept the house beautiful and clean. We hired Dolly for our dinners which was the best decision of all. She is a wonderful cook and a delight to get to know. The private tour to Corcovado National Park was a tour of a lifetime. Angie, our guide, was knowledgeable and so passionate about perserving the environment; her enthusiasm was infectious. Thank you Mark and Lisley for making this experience possible.

Magical- Beyond our wildest expectations
If I could give our stay more than 5 stars I would. Perhaps as many as the stars we saw reclining on the upper balcony at night.
This was our third time in Costa Rica and we are world travellers. We have never stayed in a rental as wonderful as this. Book it now before reading the rest of the review- it’s that good.
Mark, the host was generous to a fault with both information and concern for us and our enjoyment.
The staff, carefully hand picked and trained, did above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable . Ruben and his family, Simone, Dolly, the energetic chef, attended to our every need.
The house itself is a miracle in construction and offered utmost amenities and luxury in a natural and wild setting.
While we are generally very active travellers , all we wanted to do was linger on one of the several balconies to enjoy the sights and sounds of this jungle setting. Endless parade of various monkey species, colorful birds, beautiful flowers were all around us.
We would return in a heartbeat- can’t wait!

Best Experience Ever!
This is not just a home; it is an experience. Everything about this place is amazing! Simone the property manager went above and beyond. She answered every question we had and made sure we had everything we needed. Ruben, our guide, was very knowledgable and made our stay unforgettable. We loved watching the capuchin monkeys from the beautiful deck each morning while drinking our coffee. Afternoon visits from the spider monkeys were also a treat! Dolly's meals were incredible! My kids are still talking about how much they miss Dolly and her cooking. She even taught my daughter how to make tortillas. I cannot say enough good things about this place and the people who own and run it! You will not be disappointed!

Absolutely Amazing!
Everything about the house and our stay was amazing! Dolly is an amazing chef and I would strongly encourage anyone to book every meal with her. Reuben was an amazing guide and super helpful with everything. We would definitely recommend going to the fruit farm and the horseback riding. We also did do the outside tour to San Pedrillo and saw lots of wildlife in the park. It was an amazing vacation and location and we hope to be back again in the future!
