The house is entered through its colourful and vibrant garden - an oasis in the middle of the hustle and bustle of San Marcos. There is a covered porch leading into a fully-equipped kitchen.
This in turn leads into a spacious and light living area with a fireplace (working) and French doors out into the garden. Off this are 2 double bedrooms one also with French doors to the garden. There is also a bathroom with shower on the ground level. Both bedrooms are doubles with Queen beds, one has a locked cupboard for added security. The downstairs living area with fireplace also has a single sofa bed.
Up the stairs in the kitchen takes you to the second level. Immediately you are in the 3rd bedroom/office space (single bed), then a large 2nd bathroom along with a spacious 4th Double Bedroom also with a Queen bed, and with windows all around a 2nd living space with wonderful views out over the garden and beyond to Lake Atitlan. This space also has 2 single beds.
It is about a 10-minute walk up from the public dock and the house is close to all the wonderful alternative therapy centres, cafes, and restaurants that San Marcos boasts, but far enough away to be quieter and more peaceful than the area closer to the Lake.

PLEASE NOTE: this is Guatemala and there are occasions when the electricity may go and with it the water pump and the internet. This does not happen very often and we do our very best to make sure it is for a short a time as possible, but we are not in control of the Electricity company and the weather, which affects it and the internet signals, which are all via cellular towers.
PLEASE NOTE CHECK IN IS BETWEEN 3-5pm - we ask you to please try and arrive between these hours. The guardian does not live on site.
You can drive to San Marcos to near by parking or drive to Pana and take a boat from there and walk up to the house.
A comprehensive set of Welcome Notes are in the house for guests information.
Access is along a paved pathway from a road in central San Marcos. Only about 50m. There are signs indicating where to go.
Please be sure to give your arrival time at least 24 hrs in advance, so we are prepared. We will need to be called or contacted half an hour before you arrive in Pana and getting onto a public boat. Public boats from Pana are generally Q20pp and take you to the public dock in San Marcos. You can then follow the paved pathway to the Parque Central and basketball court, about 5 mins, where the guardian can meet you to help you with your luggage. From there however, it is a 5 min walk up a gentle slope.
We can happily arrange private transport to Panajachel (Pana) the transport hub for Lake Atitlan and then you take a public boat/lancha to the San Marcos, if you wish. The public dock is only accessible by a pedestrian pathway, so luggage has to be carried! Or private transport directly to San Marcos - just a longer and more windy journey.
Please be sure to arrange all this with the managers prior to arrival. Thank you.
There is a guest book for comments and suggestions too, to share for future guests
Other things to note:
We would like to bring to guests attention that this is a rural area of Guatemala. As a result, from time to time there may be electrical outings. Usually this doesn't last for much longer than 5-20 mins, but it will affect the internet.
Also, most of Guatemala does NOT have the high speed internet that guests might be used to at home. Please be aware that this rental, and pretty much all rentals and hotels that offer WiFi, will only be offering about 12-3 mb of speed. This is usually plenty to check emails and video chat, but not for streaming. This can be increased for an extra charge up to 10mb.
PLEASE NOTE THERE ARE 2 DOGS ON THE PREMISES FOR SECURITY. They are friendly dogs :)
