Matt and Annie went above and beyond to ensure that we had the best stay possible at Valley of Dreams. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the home itself, which was comfortable, equipped with all the right amenities, and absolutely beautiful. Having extremely hospitable and gracious hosts was a major plus. Would definitely book again. Matt and Annie, thank you for extending your home to us. Pura vida!

MUCHAS GRACIAS Matt & Annie! Our 5 nights became 7 nights. We ate from their garden and it was delicious! We cooked most of our meals in their amazing communal kitchen. I love that the communal space is separate from the lodges. The place has been so well crafted - spacious, clean & perfecto!
Matt took us on a nature walk where he taught us about the local 'forest food' & we ate wild edibles. Having the guanabanas in season was an amazing treat! We loved being close to yet away from Dominical. Being in the hills/mountains made for cooler evenings. So great to not have to use A/C but just open the windows and get a breeze! We enjoyed two camp fires with some of the other guests. We even had a wee sing-along too :) We went to the Tuesday Tinamaste market. It is not far from Valley of Dreams and so much great food!!! As you can hear we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Valley of Dreams! Dream BiG! Thank you Matt, Annie and your friendly team of helpers.

Beautiful place with the most wonderful people. Matt and Annie are the best and they’ve built an amazing place together.
Matt and Annie are the most wonderful hosts a guest could ask for. I feel so fortunate to be able to experience a piece of Costa Rica Paradise that they call home. Overlooking an incredible valley with the most amazing sunsets. Matt show us around their beautiful property that is full of an insane variety of fruits. Relaxing around their refreshing pool and sharing stories with my new friends will be some of my most favorite memories.
