Reservation refunds are issued in the form of a gift certificate, for future reservations.

Are the cabins furnished?

Yes. In addition to beds, each cabin has living room furniture, a dining table, a microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker and some with a wood-burning fireplace. Cabins also contain all of the linens and towels required for the maximum occupancy, as well as bath soap, shampoo, conditioner and toilet paper.

Some of the cabins have wood-burning stone fireplaces, other L.P. gas heaters and electric fireplaces.

Firewood can be purchased in the reception for $5.00 per stack and we’ll light it up for you.

Are housekeeping services provided?

All cabins are thoroughly cleaned prior to your arrival. We do not enter your cabin after you have checked in unless you have a request. Our cleaning service is provided daily during the morning after breakfast.

Do your cabins have TVs, telephones or WiFi?

There are 32’s Cable TVs in the cottages and suites, as well as music system, Wi-Fi and DVD’s.
You’re here to rest, relax, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings and fantastic weather. U.S. and Canada FREE calls.

Do the cabins have air conditioning?

No, the cabins do not have air conditioning. This is very typical of the Zurqui area due to the often comfortably warm daytime temperatures. And the nights always cool down nicely. We suggest keeping the windows closed on very warm days, which helps keep the cabins cool, then opening them in the evening.

Do you have laundry facilities?

We’ll provide laundry twice a week at a low price, depending of your loads.

How many people can I bring?

Cottages and suites accommodate for $85.00 + tax ONLY 2 adults + 2 kids UNDER 10 for lodging and for breakfast, the 2nd. child pays an extra $5.00.
We appreciate your accuracy when telling us the number of people in your party since rates are based on that number.
Please include children in that count, especially if they are older.

Can I rent a cabin and invite friends to come and visit me or have a party?

Reservations are for registered guests only.  We define registered guests as people included in the number of your party that are staying the night in the cottage or suite.  We like to ensure all of our guests have the opportunity to enjoy all the amenities of our property including the peace and quiet.  If every cabin had ‘visitors’ then it is unfair to our paying guests, as well as, potentially creating noisy and disruptive situations.  Unfortunately, we are not a public park where folks are able to come and take full advantage of our unique property without actually making a reservation.
You are allowed to have a party if all the guests of that party have a reservation to stay in a cabin/suite.  We just ask you observe our Quiet Hours at 8:00p.m.  It is always a good idea to inform management of gatherings/reunions/celebrations in advance to avoid any awkward situations.

Do you have accommodations for family reunions?

Yes, we do! In fact, we have many family reunions here every year. We also host business seminars, conferences, club meetings, scrapbook parties, baby and wedding showers, and a number of other group getaways.  (Please review above FAQ regarding unregistered guests.)

Do you have accommodations for weddings and receptions?

Yes, we do host weddings and receptions!  Please contact Lorena for details at  8318-7792 or email us at cheticaranch@gmail.com.

What types of activities are available?

There are all sorts of activities in which you can enjoy, like zipping lines, trekking, animal rescue centers, visiting volcanoes, rainforest, river rafting, beaches. The kids can enjoy exploring our ranch, jumping in the safe rivers pools, bird watching, butterflies and maybe catching a glimpse at a sloth or white face monkeys, on dry season.

Is there a swimming pool?

We do not have a swimming pool on the grounds but two rivers crossing through.

Is the fireplace the only heat source in the cabins?

No, each cabin also has a LP gas heater or electric fireplace. The wood-burning fireplace in some cottages are there for your enjoyment and extra coziness.
