Un hotel lindo y buena atención!

El Mesón de Santa Elena es un lugar único, el personal es muy amable, te tratan como en casa, los dueños son personas muy lindas, lo recomiendo plenamente y la comida es deliciosa!!! En verdad es un lugar que vale la pena visitar :)

Historic Bed and Breakfast is beautiful, very clean and well kept and beautifully decorated. We only speak English but the staff was very helpful from the beginning. One staff member even called someone who spoke English to translate our questions about going to areas and then walked us to the taxis to set up our trip. The breakfast was excellent.

This is a very lovely place in a great location run by an excellent and capable person named Rosario with her family. We highly recommend this sacred establishment to all.

Beautiful new building in the old part of Mascota. Close to everything with several amenities in the house we were not expecting.

The Santa Elena Hotel is a lovely place, with very clean, nicely appointed and comfortable rooms, and an especially beautiful garden courtyard retreat. The service and included breakfasts were wonderful -- everyone was very kind and helpful, and so patient with our limited Spanish-speaking abilities.

Le logement est une maison spacieuse, agréable avec tout le nécessaire notamment la cuisine toute équipée. A 10 minutes à pied du centre de Mascota. Patricia est une hôte disponible qui s'occupe de tout et réponds à vos attentes et questions. Quand nous retournerons à Mascota nous réserverons sans hésiter ce logement.

Mariana and Petie were kind and gracious hosts, even though we arrived almost an hour late with one extra guest! They showed us around the property and let us know about the friendly neighbor and local trails. We left feeling that the sleeping and housing accommodations were a bit overpriced. This is a small, somewhat cluttered house without electricity or hot water where sleeping is offered on cots in a small side room. Bring a pillow and towels for more comfort. Or, do as I wish I'd done and bring your own tent and sleeping bag so that you can sleep down by the river and use the house for storage, cooking, and the bathroom. Ultimately, we were happy with our stay because of the incredible natural beauty of the location. The property sits below a gorgeous basalt outcropping. Just down a small dirt road is a deck overlooking a river where you can have a fire and stargaze. But perhaps most impressively, guests can boulder along the river for 20 minutes to what is essentially a private gorge. There is a waterfall and giant swimming area where you can really be alone and absorb the natural beauty. If you're looking for minimal accommodations but lots of beauty, this is the place.

️ WARNING ️ You may never want to leave this paradise once you visit! Mar and Peti's beautiful riverfront eco-retreat in the mountains of Mascota was absolutely incredible! The hosts are two of the most wonderful human beings I have met. Their resourcefulness, incredible sense of self, and conversation are magical. Speaking of magical, the property is LOADED with beauty. From the river which is perfect for fishing, to the mountain trails and the perfect glow emitted by the stars at night that illuminate the deep Mascota valley! Perfect for those looking for a solid disconnect, a family retreat, a journey to another time, or just to experience a part of this planet that is barely touched by the hands of man! Mar and Perri, you tow are amazing! Thank you for your kindness, inspiration, and wisdom!

This was a very scenic home above the dam with nice areas for hiking in the forest. We enjoyed the seclusion and the owner´s two dogs who accompanied us on our walks. We are used to living in the country so the visits from the neighbor´s cows were fine. Mary was a super host who showed us all around Mascota and she was a wealth of information about the area.

El contacto con la naturaleza fue magnífico muchas gracias por todo Mari

La cabaña muy acogedora, Mary es una excelente anfitriona

I reserved this house for some friends and did not stay here but this is what they had to say: "The house was amazing. Being in that remote zone was really unique. I would particularly recommend this house for people who love animals. We spent the mornings petting cows ans horses and playing with the two guard dogs."

la cabaña está enclavada en un hermoso lugar de la Sierra de mascota, cerca del poblado, barilla arreglado muy bien tiene energía solar WiFi y es un lugar bellísimo. tiene dos perros hermosos Qué son los Guardianes del lugar.

Muy recomendable. Regresaría sin dudarlo.

We were the first airbnb guests to stay here. Definitely a gem! Beautiful place in the middle of the town square. probably the best location in talpa. Talpa is gorgeous town tucked in the mountains. Feels like a world unto itself. And this apartment, with the perfect balcony overlooking the square, is the ideal place to enjoy it from. The apartment is clean and nice and spacious, a unique and beautiful home. Jonathan was charming and gracious and very ready to help in any way. Great stay. An airbnb score!

Una excelente opción de hospedaje , si vas a visitar a la Virgen el lugar está muy cerca de la Iglesia y la terraza tiene vista parcial de ella , ampliamente recomendada

Thank you Jonathan for hospitality we had a good visit to Talpa

Departamento muy centrico con buena vista hacia la plaza principal, cerca de todos los servicios. Jonathan muy atento para la recepcion. Buena opcion para hospedarse en este pueblo magico

Excelente recibimiento, hospitalidad y atención de la parte del anfitrión. El departamento es hermoso :)

La estancia fue muy confortable, mucho mejor que en cualquier hotel, cumple con todo lo que se ofrece en la publicación, y la atención Jonathan muy amable y atento, Recomendado 100%

Todo excelente

Mi familia y yo estuvimos por una noche; la casa es muy bonita y acogedora, está ubicada justo en el corazón de Talpa, con muchos restaurantes y comercios a unos pasos. Fuimos recibidos por Krizia, la prima de Jonathan, quien se porto muy atenta y amable con nosotros. Sin duda fue una estadía excelente, quedamos muy agradecidos.

My group LOVED John & Alicia's place. It's an ideal weekend "getaway" when you're in the mood for somewhere quiet, scenic and fresh. The house was gorgeous, clean and very comfortable. Our favorite part was drinking coffee on the front porch in the morning, listening to the birds and breathing in the fresh mountain air. San Sebastian itself, is adorable. We highly recommend. And definitely grab a meal at the property manager Gabriel's restaurant - El (URL HIDDEN) was excellent!

Helenas cottage is so beautiful, it has an amazing back area and charming front yard. 100% recommend it to anyone looking for a romantic trip or a cozy getaway. I can't wait to go back!!! muchas gracias helena

Excelente lugar, Helena muy amable, la casa muy linda

Helena's home is a little slice of heaven! Great for a family to stay and explore the area. The kids could roam free on the trails in her citrus and coffee bean grove, and also play down at the stream that runs by the house. They were exploring, creating and laughing the whole time! We played too, and also had plenty of time to relax in the hammocks at the house drinking wine and eating the wonderful food we made in in the great kitchen. The architecture, design and light is wonderful - simple and elegant. Being in and around the house is so relaxing - very quiet for sleeping at night - just the gentle sparkling of the stream. Obviously great for a family, but it would be equally as great for a romantic getaway. The family that helps out is great too - always making sure we had everything we needed, and building a little fire for us to light in the evenings. So enjoyable! When we wanted to walk around town it was a quick walk - easy for even our 2 year old. We went out to eat, and mostly walked around the charming town and area stumbling upon all sorts or treasures. San Sebastian is a lovely place to visit, and Helena's home made it absolutely incredible for us. We hope to have many visits back again!

This was my first time in San Sebastián, and the home was a picture-perfect reflection of the town - colonial, rustic, and in a great location.

Traditional, local style home on a quiet side street, easy walking distance to the center of town. Rustic, simple, comfortable interiors are well thought out. Space heaters, nice linens, candles and bottled water were all appreciated. So quiet here all you hear is sound of nature, neighboring donkeys, maybe a rooster, distant church bell and the sound of a stream. Night sky is amazing, have never seen so many stars.

Helena is a wonderful host and the home was perfect for our small family. It's in a great location, and incredibly peaceful. Martin, the caretaker is a great guy and helped us with anything we needed.

Esta casita es perfecta para una escapada romántica porque a pesar de estar a un par de cuadras de la plaza central, se siente como están en medio de la nada, apartados de la civilización. La casa es hermosa, acogedora, decorada con muy buen gusto y con todas las comodidades; ideal para contactar con la naturaleza, disfrutar el silencio, el sonido del arroyo, los pájaros, apreciar la vegetación exhuberante, observar las estrellas y la luna. Catalina y Martín son muy amables y serviciales, nos trajeron frijoles de la olla y tortillas hechas a mano y estuvieron al tanto de nuestras necesidades, nos pusieron la fogata cada noche lo cual hizo aún más mágica nuestra estadía. Ha sido uno de los mejores lugares donde me he hospedado, lo recomiendo ampliamente y espero volver muy pronto.

My husband and I had a wonderful, relaxing stay at Helena's home. We enjoyed the warm days and cool nights; an escape from Puerto Vallarta's heat. Her property is tranquil, allowing us to have our meals outside listening to the birds and the flowing stream. We loved meandering on her rustic property. It is just a few minutes' walk to the small town where there are some restaurants and small shops. We especially enjoyed our bonfire at night, and meeting the property manager couple who were so helpful and friendly.

Lugar muy ecológico en convivencia con un hermoso río, Mario muy amable

Salvador muy buena onda, aunque difícil de localizar.

Muy empatico con la persona que traté sólo q había q tomar 2 transportes para llegar a la casa o taxi.

This place was great. Really welcoming, beautiful, homely and special. There are great views of the mountains from the roof terrace and a great pool in the garden. Everything is finished to a high standard, with lots of useful books and information on the book shelves. It was a pleasure to stay, sorry it was only for one night.

Excelente lugar. La Sra. Cristina es muy atenta y súper amable. La habitación está muy limpia, amplia y cómoda.

el cuarto bien amplio y el baño totalmente privado, muy limpio todo y la cama cómoda para dormir.

Es una habitación grande muy bonita si traes carro es ideal para vacacionar en Puerto Vallarta

I would stand by my previous review (see below), which was written before I extended my stay for 1 more day. Unfortunately, Rodrigo & I had a quarrel just before he left for the day- a misunderstanding of contents exchanged which he would hear nothing of in my repeated bids to clarify.

The host canceled this reservation 29 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Muy amables, lugar muy cómodo. Sólo no pudimos por esta ocasión guardar el coche en su garage pero no pasó nada. Sus perros muy lindos :)

Mi estancia en la casa de Rodrigo fue totalmente agradable y muy cómoda, la comunicación con los miembros del hogar fue constante y todos ellos me recibieron de una manera calida y me hicieron sentir muy a gusto. La habitación es espaciosa, acogedora y con una gran iluminación gracias a la luz que se transmite por las ventanas apenas y amanece. Sin duda regresaría en mi próxima visita.

Rodrigo es un chico muy agradable, en todo momento me sentí apoyada y segura. Excelente familia. Lo recomiendo al 100%.
