Arte de Plumas birding lodge is situated in Cartago. This bed and breakfast features free private parking, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a terrace.

At the bed and breakfast, each unit includes a desk. There is a private bathroom with walk-in shower in every unit, along with bathrobes, slippers and free toiletries. All units have a wardrobe.

Our previous trips to CR were bus tours covering several "hot" birding spots. Moving daily, bouncing down bumpy roads covered a lots of ground but was schedule driven and hard on the joints. We were looking for a place in the middle of bird country to call home for a couple of weeks. Arte de Plumas is in a beautiful, misty, mountain valley near the town of La Suiza, 3 hours SE of SJO . The open dining hall and spacious deck look north down the valley. The weather was cool with light breezes. The skies alternated from clouds to sun, hourly, as mist rolled over the tops of the mountains. The lodge has beautiful architecture, bright, exceptionally clean, spacious rooms acoustically tuned to the rainforest sounds, no howler monkeys, great water (and coffee), and private baths with good plumbing. Every morning something new was sitting along the stairwell window sill (praying mantis, stick bug, elephant beetle, katydids, giant toads....) The pretty river running along the front of the property changes character daily. Lots of wildlife, tons of birds, amazing, friendly, accommodating kitchen with local produce and dishes. The manager is a bird guru who will talk about local species and photo ops as long as you want. The 28 acre park, in its second year of operation, is a diamond in the rough. On drizzly days you can sit on the sundeck, sip coffee and shoot humming birds and Oropendola. For the adventurer, there are several kilometers of newly constructed trails up the mountain and along the river as well as treks up and down the rocky farm road leading into the property. About half a kilometer past the end of the pavement, Arte de Plumas Birding Lodge is perfect base for day trips to destinations in the Turrialba area.

    The room was spacious and the view of Orosi was nice . The property is a bit quirky with lots of levels and many interesting outdoor spaces to use . For the most part it was quiet . The location was good and within easy walking distance of the small town of Orosi and it's amenities. The host was very sweet and tries very hard but the property did have a few issues.

    Wow! This Casa is like a fairy tale house ! Beautiful , cozy, and comfortable, very quiet .Berna is an excellent host..she speaks a little English... much much better than I speak Spanish .. great place to stay for a night or a few days. Her casa is far enough away from the city center to have the feeling you're in the countryside but close enough to get there quickly by taxi .
