Run by a German couple who have built a warm rapport with the community, the little lodge blends in with Orosi's pretty, old-town architecture: whitewashed walls are trimmed in blue, ceilings are high, and natural wood is used throughout. Some furnishings, such as the clay lamps in the rooms, are done by local artisans. Common areas are colorful, with paintings and sculpture by local artists. Double beds have two twin-size comforters. Second-floor rooms have views of the Orosi valley and Irazú Volcano. The hip coffee shop brews a great cup of joe, and Latin music usually plays from a 1960's jukebox in the foyer.
