Poás Volcano Lodge lies between the Poás and Barva Volcano at 1900m above sea level on the ridge dividing the Atlantic and Pacific zones of the country. The lodge is nestled into the rolling pastures, at the foothills of the Poás Volcano, one of the worlds largest active craters. The impressive views from the house include not only the volcano, but also the western area of the spectacular Braulio Carillo National Park as well as the Caribbean plains. Poás Volcano Lodge is just a few meters from the nearest protected subtropical rain forest area, through which a network of trails have been designed for visitors to explore. The lodge itself was built by an English family, as the principal house for the surrounding diary farm, El Cortijo.

“Our last stop during a short visit to Costa Rica in 1970 led us to the cloud-forest area of Poás Volcano where we instantly fell in love with this farm, its expansive views, mysterious beauty, lush pastures, primary forests, and without hesitation we decided to live here. We arrived on a typically clear morning, the day we were to leave the country, and within a few hours we sealed a contract which was to bring us back here to live in this magnificent landscape." This is how the owner describes his arrival to this wonderful spot.

It is therefore no surprise that the unique architecture and design of the lodge carry features from English cottages, Welsh farm houses, American ranches, as well as details from local craftsmanship. Built on different levels, the rough stone walls, wooden beamed ceilings, dramatic arches combined with tasteful interior decoration, all contribute to the very warm and welcoming atmosphere of this family home.
   
  Master Suite
 
The lodge comprises of nine charming and comfortable bedrooms, including a luxurious master suite with a sunken stone bathtub. The rooms have ensuite bathrooms and some accommodate more than two people. They are situated in groups both within and around the impressive farmhouse and have a luxury rustic flavour with stone walls, wood panelling, soft lighting and sumptious beds. They each have private access to the garden which affords an impressive view to the volcano, and most are within a few metres of the rainforest surrounding the lodge.
 
This is a heavenly place to spend the evening especially if you have just arrived from the beach climate! We can serve you drinks in front of the fire before dinner and it is also a relaxing place in which to read, or chat after dinner with other guests at the lodge.

You will find Games in the main sitting room. There is anything from backgammon to monopoly and dominoes. There is also a separate chess table available. Please feel free to help yourself. We have a music collection of classical, jazz, folk, pop, rhythm and blues and Latin. Please feel at home to play the music of your choice but please treat the stereo equipment with care. We have a small library of books and would be happy to do a book swap with some of our collection. Otherwise please do not remove any from the sitting room.

The lodge is strategically located near several important attractions and is accessed by three major routes. The road up to the Volcano Poás passes through Poasito with many small farms and businesses offering a variety of choices to the visitor. The road to Heredia and Alajuela, through some of the most important and spectacular coffee growing areas of Costa Rica, displays magnificent views of the Central Valley. The road to San Miguel and Sarapiquí passes by many areas of natural attraction with some important visitor destinations. Arenal Volcano is less than three hours away, making this a logical next step for the traveler heading north. The International Airport is only 45 minutes from the lodge.
