Farmstay holiday rentals in Lake Nicaragua

The place was really nice. The hosts were so nice and helpful, basically everything we needed they helped us- recommendations, navigation and much more. Also they offer meals you can buy and the food is great. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a place to stay to choose this place 🙏🏻

Everything during my stay went well. We checked in as per directions Rafael gave, he’s a very responsive host. The farm and house are gorgeous with views of the Volcano of Masaya wonderful sunsets and sunrises. There are goats and chickens that wander the farm, and various fruit trees which we picked from and tried. Rafael recommended places nearby that were amazing and worth experiencing. His home is rich with antiques from various countries and of a unique enjoyable taste. I loved staying here and if I plan a trip to Nicaragua again I’d stay here again and for even longer!

Hector was very helpful in giving local advice and organising transport for us. The family at the property were very friendly and welcoming.

This place is a gem! We were only there for one night as we were traveling thru Nicaragua, but really enjoyed it. Robert, his wife and mother were all great hosts and nice to talk to! The food was excellent, my husband said that the dinner (optional for an additional fee) was his favorite meal of our trip. TIP: If you are driving there, Robert has GPS coordinates in the description. I did not notice this, so we had a little bit of trouble finding his place at first. Robert was very fast to respond and helpful when I messaged him though.

Equilibrio was all that I hoped for and more. The owners, James and Gabriela have put much thought into the experience, anticipating what might delight their guests. There was plenty of space to relax, create, read, meditate, play, and enjoy the jungle, river, and beach. The casitas are fenced off from each other to create large, private jungle "yards." The 15 acre retreat is near town, but secluded, and each large casita has its own sizable part of the whole. I loved our "Guitar" casita which brings the best parts of the outside in -- the jungle view, the bird sounds, the breezes, and leaves out the bugs and rain. Heaven. The mosquito netting walls simply disappear. Our casita had plenty of bottled water, a refrigerator, coffee maker, coffee and tea, a closet room, and a large bathroom with a door that leads to a spacious, private, luxurious, solar-heated outdoor shower. We also had a private palapa with hammocks and rocking chairs. Outside our fence, down the trail was a larger shared space with more hammocks and rockers that was also the main gathering place/dining room/performance space. The staff is nearly invisible, but always there when you need them, smiling and helpful, serving food and drinks. The food was outstanding, featuring local vegetables, fruit smoothies and juices. The resort is not directly on the beach, but a short, bird-watching boat ride from the beach. Canoes and kayaks are available for exploration of the river estuary and trips to the beach. Daily yoga was included in our package and was not to be missed. Three days of the week we were at the studio on Popoyo beach where we could listen to the waves and gaze at the horizon. The beach is huge, beautiful, and empty. The lovely yoga studio at Equilibrio was a large palapa with a wood floor and mosquito netting all around that can be unfurled, if needed. Our teacher, Brook was wonderful, tailoring classes to our needs. We loved her classes and also managed to squeeze in some private sessions. Equilibrio is a treat, far away from the touristy parts, with nature all around and thoughtful service. Many thanks to James, Gabriela, and Brook for creating such a serene retreat experience and for the fantastic yoga. I hope to return soon.

I really enjoyed my stay a Bananas hospedaje. It's the perfect place if youre looking for a little tranquility. It's my favorite place in 9 months of traveling. Efraim and Guadalupe are very friendly and welcoming. Efraim is super helpful and knowledgeable about Ometepe. He was able to arrainge taxis, tours and pretty much whatever you need. They both go out of their way to help with whatever you need. The room was really comfortable and clean. The food is really good and at a really good price. Bananas is a really fun place to stay. In the evenings a flock of Magpies hop around the banana trees and right before dark hundreds of fireflies make the jungle sparkle. It's a five minute walk to the lake for swimming. I highly recommend checking it out for yourself. I hope to stay there again one day.

If you're looking for a typical "touristy" experience, this place isn't for you. But if you're looking for the real Nicaragua (in a rural setting), and conscientious individuals who know their way around the real Nicaragua, this is a *great* place. As of the date I write this review, the country itself has been having its ups and downs. But! Rest assured: so long as this place is still up and running for Airbnb'ers, you're in *great* hands with Jeff and Jasmina.

Beautiful view of the lake. Great stay!

Stacey's place is absolutely perfect. It's right on the beach and steps to local restaurants. The sunset is unbelievable. Having yoga and massages right downstairs is also great. The furnishings are adorable. Bedrooms have AC. Nice sized bathrooms with great water pressure AND warm water. There are hammocks both inside and out. Stacey is great with recommendations and even had fresh fruit delivered for us! This is a definite stay for Gigantes

A very nice cabin, excellent for rest, away from the hustle and bustle, 30 minutes from the area's beaches. Doña María is an excellent host, always kind. I hope to come back!!!

Very nice old farmhouse with plenty of large shade trees, a resident friendly dog and cat or two with chickens foraging the yard. Just a great place to chill out and enjoy the moment. Very close to the beach and horse back riding. The caretaker/manager Jesus is available and helpful when needed, brought us eggs off the farm most mornings. Hope to enjoy it all again sometime

An excellent place, very quiet.

Jesus who was in charge of receiving us was very attentive and helpful, the place was perfect in every way, location, price, very clean and tidy. It is a place I would recommend since it is a balance between tranquility but in turn it is not far from all the attractions in the area.

I HIGHLY recommend Eden! A perfect place to relax, meditate, eat and work! My hubby and I had a nice weekend getaway.

We had a really lovely stay here for 4 nights! It’s a very peaceful and serene place, the pool is lovely, having the kitchen is excellent and its very clean and well equipped. The staff were always friendly. We also loved having the pool table and darts board! Also close to the supermarket :)

Unbelievable Airbnb! It’s gorgeous the farm hands were extremely helpful. They shows us all the animals goats, baby donkeys, turkeys, dogs, cats, and parrots! We made homemade pizza dough hector cooked them in the authentic wood fire oven on the property. Berto helped us pick wild fruits from the trees and they had their own coffee!!! We made dinner from veggies in the garden. The rooms were perfectly cold at night. We were in awe honestly with everything. Normally we get to an Airbnb and go explore the area but this time we just wanted to explore the farm and didn’t want to leave it was awesome!! 100/10

I stayed one week with this amazing family. Definately a rustic authentic experience off the beaten path, and that's exactly what I wanted. During my stay I took advantage of the services offered, including a guided hike up the volcano.I learned all about the fruit trees on the property. I also booked a combo massage, cupping, acupunture trearment that put me out of this world ♥️ Lisseth's cooking chef quality delicious 😋 JC helped me with tourist info and getting around 😃 In addition I got to meet and play games with the kids attending English classes on site. Super Fun and welcoming stay. I can't say enough good things. This family will be forever in my heart.
