What guests say
"After two months of travelling around Patagonia, Jose's place was the perfect place to relax and unwind after our trip. To get there requires a short boat ride but once you arrive you feel immediately relaxed and immersed in pristine nature. We spent the days kayaking, fishing (caught several nice rainbow trout) and enjoying the beautiful views of the mountains. The views are to die for and the house is tastefully decorated with lots of natural light. We are already planning our next trip to this special place."

FAQ

To Puerto Calderón yes, with free parking. From there it's boat-only: the host takes you across the lake in 15 minutes.

Yes: solar power and Wi-Fi inside the house. Cell signal only reaches specific spots on the property, part of the charm of disconnecting.

There are no shops on this side of the lake. Stock up in Futaleufú before crossing and bring all your supplies for the stay.

No pets and no smoking, to protect the natural surroundings and the house.

Up to 3 guests. The path from the dock to the house has a staircase of about 10 m elevation, so it isn't suitable for wheelchairs.
