Sobre esta propriedade

Off-Grid Solar Country House with Natural Pool & Sauna in Mindo Countryside

Location: Mindo, Ecuador, South America (3 hours from Quito airport). We are nestled in the mountainous countryside of the Mindo-Nambillo cloud forest, at a leisurely 30 minute walk past the town of Mindo (towards the butterfly farm), and a 10 minute walk before the butterfly farm (Mariposario).

Accommodations: Eco-friendly house off the electrical grid, with solar panels. 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, sleeps up to 7.

For a smaller accommodation, check out our country cottage which is located on the property of Posada La Lomita as well, at: vrbo 694350

Posada La Lomita offers an eco-friendly country house in the outskirts of Mindo, functioning off the electrical grid, and relying on solar panels for electricity and a local waterfall/mountain spring for water. We practice energy conservation, and are conscientious of not utilizing high voltage consuming products as well as turning off the lights and electrical appliances when not in use. This practice not only emphasizes the importance of energy conservation within all of our cultural visits, but it also allows us the opportunity to remind and reinforce resource conservation to our children, fellow guests and future generations.

Our home is custom built and constructed entirely of wood. Views are possible in every location throughout the house, and the scenery and nature is breathtaking and awe inspiring of the Mindo-Nambillo cloud forest & forest reserve.

For the family or couple who enjoys nature, and the uncontaminated, pure environment that the Mindo countryside has to offer--and for those who are still looking for the luxury comforts of a home--this is the perfect getaway for some peace and quiet, filled only with the sounds of birds, insects and running water.

Here at Posada La Lomita, we sit on 3 hectares (7.5 acres) of nature filled land, with trees, fields, creeks, birds, armadillos, guatusas, and other abundant wildlife all around us. Outdoor, on-site athletic activities include badminton, soccer, croquet, nature walks, and playing/wading in the creek or swimming in our natural, chemical free pool.

There is nothing more relaxing, gratifying, and peaceful, then to have your own private haven amidst the birds and animals chirping and moseying outside. You can discreetly watch them through the limitless windows, or from the hammocks of our outdoor lookout! Come enjoy your family meals, relaxing reads, and gatherings with your loved ones in your own private paradise!

We are completely secluded and offer privacy from the bustle and noise in the town of Mindo. Other small cottages are located on the property as well, making Posada La Lomita an excellent location for larger group gatherings in your own private hacienda. Due to the presence of other cabañas, other tourists might also be on the property, yet privacy is not an issue, as space is abundant.

The owners are bilingual in English and Spanish and we raise our two children bilingually as well. The house and property are child and eco-friendly, using only non-toxic products, and offering entertainment for children such as games and movies (in English and Spanish), plus badminton, soccer, croquet, and free range chickens to feed and collect eggs from.

The light colored wood construction blends in naturally with the forested mountainous environment, emphasizing the oneness with your surroundings. Our water source comes from natural water spring & waterfall in the mountains above, thus supplying filtered (yet untreated) chemical and pollutant free water for the house.

Though daytime can reach the 80's F, nighttime tends to be cool, for which one controls the temperature by simply closing the windows and using extra, supplied blankets if needed.

The kitchen is built with socialization in mind, fostering openness to the dining and living area, thus making mealtime sociable and family friendly events.

The living area is surrounded on 3 sides with floor to ceiling windows and screens, permitting a 270 degree view of the wildlife and forest scenery below. You can enjoy these views in the comfort of your own hammock, bean bag, or typical colonial chair.

Nighttime at Posada La Lomita resembles a starry sky, except instead of stars, you will notice that they are lightning bugs, illuminating the darkness! Sometimes it's as if you were in your own private galaxy, surrounded by twinkling stars (flashing fireflies) as you walk the property in the dark. Paths are also automatically illuminated with solar lamps that turn on at dusk.

The owners live on the property as well, yet we are at a comfortable, private distance from the house, and are available to assist with any of your needs or arrange them entirely for you. Advance notice is kindly appreciated, however.

As experienced travelers ourselves--and having our own small children--we realize that one's own accommodations and necessities might be unique from the next. We are more than flexible and happy to fulfill your desires; just tell us what it is you require, and we will present you with the best package and offer to ensure you have the most wonderful, at ease, and memorable vacation while here in Mindo and Ecuador!

Beautiful destination just outside of Mindo
When you rent this solar-powered house, you also have access to many other amenities. On this property, there is a non heated clean pool, sauna, community room building, yoga and workout space, gazebo with a few hummingbird feeders, other small cabanas available for a small group and a wonderful property owner who attends to your needs. He helped us make a few calls for reservations, provided laundry service, and brought their dogs over for some furry baby time. The only drawback to this VRBO is the distance and road from downtown Mindo. After driving all around NW Ecuador, the road to the house is on par with other remote reserves. However, if you are looking for an easy drive in, this will not fit your expectations. This location is perfect for a large gathering that want to stay on property. Love this place!

Large beautiful home with views
We were all very comfy in this large home in the midst of the jungle. With spectacular views from every window. The grounds keeper is a super nice guy who was always happy to please! Would go back.

Even better than advertised!
La Lomita was everything we were hoping for, and more. An absolutely beautiful property with so many great features, super clean and stunningly maintained. Communication was excellent, and the kind owners even helped me with scheduling complications due to the pandemic. We originally planned to go in the spring of 2020, but were delayed until now. And boy, was it worth the wait. Really, everything was just great, and the location made it easy to do what we wanted to do, as well as being a little bit more isolated from the town for peace and privacy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend La Lomita to anyone I know. Thanks again, this was the foundation of the trip of a lifetime.

Beautiful property in Mindo
An absolute gem! The house and the entire property is stunning and it was a perfect weekend for the family. Fernando was super easy to communicate with and Luis the on property contact was helpful and also quick to assist with anything we needed. The only issue I had was our stay was too short. We can’t wait to return!

Amazing getaway!
An incredible oasis minutes outside town! The house was immaculate and exactly what we’d hoped for - the sunroom with hammocks and beautiful views were a favourite place to unwind and watch the wildlife - birds, bunnies, chickens, even a capybara! The kids enjoyed seeing the 2 house dogs daily. The grounds were amazing, and so well kept. We enjoyed the pool and sauna after days adventuring in Mindo. Nando and Luis were so helpful and friendly, making our stay perfect. Nando arranged travel from Quito for our family of 7 and assistance in organizing activities for our family of 5 teens was much appreciated! Our only complaint was that we didn’t have more time to spend here. 5 stars!!

Sobre o anfitrião

Anfitrião: Marjorie & Fernando Salmeron

Imagem do perfil do anfitrião
We're a tri-cultural family, having lived in Chile, Ecuador, and the United States. Since 1998 we have been in love with Mindo and its surrounding area, and in 2007 were able to start our dreams of raising our family here.

Our two children, ages 8 and 14, speak both English, Spanish, and Spanglish, and have the unique opportunity to adventure outside without worrying about cars or strangers, or take walks into town and enjoy the magnificent views, natural lifestyle, and slow pace of life.

Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade

Mindo is neither too hot, too cold, nor too humid--it is perfect. It is located about 5,000 -6,500 feet above sea level, and as such is above the Ecuadorian malarial zone. Its seasons are divided into rainy and dry, with half the year (approximately June to December) being the dry season, and the other half (December to June), the rainy one.

During that time it may rain all day, or just predominantly in the afternoon, leaving the mornings pleasant and sunny for outdoor activities. In this case, usually after such exercise, afternoon rains are a refreshing welcome, with the rhythmic sound calming you after a day of activities, or lulling you to sleep from so much fun.

Wildlife, in both flora and fauna, is abundant here, and unique to this small corner of the world. Mindo is also primarily known for outdoor and adventure activities, all of which are in close range to our property at Posada La Lomita. Contrary to many other parts of Ecuador and South America, you will notice that the Mindo community has an appreciation and understanding of the importance of the biodiversity of this region, and as such provides resources and support for its continued existence.

O que faz essa propriedade ser única?

You will find perhaps other homes in Mindo, or lodges and cabins that offer your own private sleeping quarters, but what sets us apart is our closeness with nature, yet privacy and remoteness from the town, in which you can take advantage of the large house and expansive property for carrying on your own activities. We are self-sufficient and in control of our energy consumption; when Mindo is without electricity, we are not. Likewise, when Mindo is without water, we also are not. The house doesn't offer residence to multiple guests at once, but rather one family at a time--thus ensuring a complete private, family experience. We have no visible neighbors, yet we are just a hop, skip, and a jump away from town and all the much desired tourist activities. Depending on your mood and your longing for seclusion, you can all of it, none of it, or pick and choose your level of anonymity and socialization. Posada La Lomita is a paradise suitable for every kind of person, family, and personality!
