Hands down the best hosts I’ve ever had… The view of the volcano is completely out of this world, having a coffee while looking at it was truly unmatched.

La calefacción super bien, no sentimos frío en ningún momento.

It is a hidden gem! … Karen and her family made us feel so warmly welcome, like at home!
La decoración y la calidad del Refugio son 10/10, se nota el cariño y preocupación de Karen y su esposo.
Der Hotpot war ein riesiges Highlight. Unter dem Sternenhimmel mit Blick auf den leuchtenden Vulkan. Ein einmaliges Erlebnis.
Es la medida justa entre paz y panoramas.
A vista é de tirar o fôlego, ter a visão clara do vulcão diretamente da sala é surreal!
En las fotos se ve muy bien, y aún así es mucho mejor de lo que se muestra.
