Our experience was great. The house is lovely and the surroundings are beautiful. The house is really close to the lake and that its amazing. It was a little hard to find do to the lack of signs and clear roads but in the end the wait was all worth it. My plan was to be close to Panajachel. The house its 1 1/2 away from Pana approximately, if you don't know the area like us it may take you that long. (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps doesn't work around the area. Susan was so helpful while giving us directions we arrived kind of late that night. She offered us to stay for another night because all the confusion we had getting there. That was really kind but we couldn't take the offer because we had other plans.

Susan was extremely helpful with her communications and Diego, the caretaker was regularly around to help with whatever our needs were. He was at the dock waiting for us when our boat arrived, let us know what reasonable rates were to get to the various towns around Cerro Del Orro, and arranged for a reasonable private boat back to Panajachel when our stay was over. The house was beautiful, quiet, and had great access to the lake. The kitchen was extremely well furnished and the house had everything we would need to enjoy our time there. We were very happy to stay in a part of the lake that was quiet and away from tourists/travellers and the house was only about 20-30 minutes from Santiago by truck/tuk-tuk. We would definitely come back here to enjoy some down time the next time we are in Guatemala!

Todo excelente, el guardián Diego muy bueno, la casa muy bonita y cómoda

Susan was the best host. She was very accessible and made sure we had everything to feel comfortable. The house is clean, comfortable and has an amazing view of the lake. It is easily accessible by car and boat. My family and I had an incredible time and will definitely go back.

The property is really amazing! Really nice to walk down to the dock at sunrise or sunset and enjoy some peace and quiet. Ask if Diego is available to pick you up from the airport, it makes life very easy so you don't have to try and have a taxi driver find this place on their own. Definitely grab groceries on your way in. They have basically everything you'll need cooking wise and they had coffee/tea, but anything else you'll need (butter, spices, etc) make sure you grab! We had a great stay, definitely recommend to anyone, it was nice to see a part of the lake nobody goes to.

This was a very beautiful home and the host was just as cordial. While the amenities within the home surpass most of the lodgings that you'll find in Guatemala, you're close enough to truly experience the culture, scenery and overall beauty of this area. We were more than pleased with our stay and would recommend this to anyone.

Susan has a beautiful slice of paradise that is her home on Lake Atitlan. It is close enough to San Lucas and Santiago to arrive by pick-up, but also has its own dock on the lake making arrival easier. She was very responsive to emails and provided us with all the necessary information. The house was spotless and the guardian, Diego, was super friendly and helpful.

We had a good time at this house. The extra room off the kitchen wasn't super conducive for sleeping as it's not sealed off, so we didn't use that room much. We loved the porch and hung out there, as there are no couches (there are pillows lining a cement bench). The extra casita worked great for one couple, and our family of 5 slept downstairs, with the kids on mattresses. For our friends who had never been to the Lake or Guatemala before, it was a great place to relax. Overall, it was a great experience. Susan was very helpful and very quick at responding to any emails or questions we had.

Excellent

Muy comodo y agradable el lugar. La casa es muy bonita para el precio que tiene. Solo la llegada es un poco difícil por lo angosto de la calle y se debe llegar en carro 4x4 preferible.

Surprised! This is a very beautiful place - paradise, all the room facing the lake, the garden patchwork, and the house are very close to the lake, actually next to the lake, there is no floating debris, fresh seawater, there is a big yard, there are very large Of the area of activity, with beautiful views, front yard, backyard, small garden with pier.

The most special, you know the owner of this house is a very kind and nice guy, like a friend, 24 hours for your service, the owner can provide you with a variety of travel advice.

Amazing place

Wonderful spot. Great getaway.

Make sure you take a water taxi earlier in the day as collective water taxis stop running well before 4 pm to Toliman. It is a place off the beaten path.

Wonderful house located in a paradis! Beautiful house architecture with a well equiped kitchen. Very peaceful place with a beautiful garden. Rebecca is very nice and help us to find thé direction to get there. The mayans are very nice but could be very insisted to sale their artisanal objects.

La Casa es muy agradable y confortable. El espacio en el que se encuentra la casa es hermoso, bellisima vista y muy tranquilo; ideal para disfrutar una estadia en el lago. Sabina, la encargada, nos ayudo mucho y fue extremadamente gentil con nosotros.

That is a lovely house. We took a boat from Panajachel and the host sent someone to pick us up at Playa publica. The house locates right facing the lake, which provides a gorgeous view in the morning. Everything is beyond our expectation, except that we did not find the wifi as it showed in the description.

La casa es un tesoro a la orilla del lago Atitlán en un lugar remoto y muy bonito. The house is a hidden jewel on the lakeshore. Very great house and amenities and a great host!

La carretera para llegar no esta en muy buen estado, pero una vez llegas se te olvida todo, la atención muy buena de Rubén y la comunicación con Mauricio excelente, todo en completo orden, regresaría sin pensarlo dos veces en otras ocasiones.

What a great place in magical lake Atitlan. The views are incredible and the place is very spacious. We had a fantastic family time at Mauricio's place. He was always very helpful and responsive. We'll be back!

Very helpful and kind. Planning to go there next year.

Overall the experience was great, we are very happy that we stayed in this place and we would recommend it to anyone. Our group (8 people) really enjoyed the well furnished house and took advantage of the amenities available such as the BBQ and the kayaks. Everything you need to cook is there but you should bring your own food and condiments, as this area is remote and it might be challenging to find specific items. Even though they sent us detailed instructions about how find the house, it took a while to find the entrance. Once we found the path, our minivan couldn't go all the way down the road, so we had to carry everything down (around 80m). Mauricio and Claudia communicated very well with us. The person who takes care of the house (Ruben) was always available and really helpful with everything, from replacing the water container to arranging boats to the other towns on the lake. Thank you for your hospitality.

Great space for big groups. Fantastic communication with the host, beautiful location, and very well-equipped kitchen. We used it for a staff getaway and had a great time!

This was an incredible sight for our 10 person team development retreat, peaceful and relaxing and beautiful. Would definitely recommend.

Very cozy place to stay, amazing view of the lake, great host and great value

The house guardian, Rueben, went out of his way to make our group feel welcome. We were able to sleep our group of 15 comfortably and loved the spaces. The setting is beautiful! One warning (URL HIDDEN) not try to drive a mini bus to this locale! The road leading to this spot is narrow and tricky to navigate!

El Búnker was just what we were looking for in a very local area away from the trappings of mass tourism. The village had all the basics for cooking simple healthy food and everyone was very friendly. Diego was lovely and always attentive. We particularly loved the beautiful well kept gardens and easy access to the lake for swimming. Local transport was very easy and cheap enabling us to explore San Lucas and Santiago.

The bunker was fantastic! We loved the simple design and it had everything we needed and was in the perfect location. Diego was there if there was anything we needed, but gave us privacy as well. He keeps the place spotless and beautiful. We checked out most of the villages around lago de atitlan and cerro de oro was our favorite. No tourists, everyone was super friendly, and we loved walking around and also riding the pickups to other towns with the locals!!! Highly recommend this place!!!

This is a super nice, beautiful little house with a wonderful view over the lake. Very good communication. Susan and here care taker are super nice and help in every situation. We had everything we needed and had a very good time.

The grounds and location are lovely, and the groundskeeper Manuel was terrific. He was helpful, friendly, and extremely attentive. Carolina was out of town during our stay, so we had no interaction with her, although she was very communicative by e-mail before our arrival. Our group included my teenage daughter and my 78-year old parents, and for us there were a few things that would have been helpful to know in advance. First, there is no hot water in the kitchen or any of the sinks. The showers do have small electric hot water heaters, so a warm shower is possible. Second, there are two full bathrooms in the house, but the extra 1/2 bath mentioned is not in the house but in a detached studio near the lake, which we did not have access to except for getting boats and paddles out. Third, the location is beautiful, but its remoteness makes travel to and from the lodge difficult. To access the commercial boats you have to go to Santiago. Otherwise to get to the other lakeside villages, you have to arrange for a (much pricier) private boat. Finally, for us, having a Spanish speaking person (my daughter) was essential. In short, Lake Atitlan is a wonderful place to visit and La K'zonA has much to recommend it, but it is probably best for groups who either don't mind paying more to travel around the area and/or taking a part of each day just to get around, or plan simply to stay at the Lodge for a retreat-type stay.

Muy buena experiencia. El personal de la casa muy atento. La casa en sí muy bonita y recomendable para un grupo grande de personas tal como era nuestro caso.

I loved this place, the house is beautiful, cozy and very spacious. Cerro de Oro is a nice quiet place to stay. My favs: The large kitchen , the sound system s just amazing )

La K'zonA es preciosa!! Al llegar uno se siente bien! El gran jardin directamente al lago con hamacas es muy relajante. La casa tan, amplia, comoda, bien equipada… llegamos dos familias con 6 niños pequeños y había también muchos juguetes, estaban felices! Carolina era muy atenta, contesto siempre muy rápido, era muy amable. Recomendamos mucho la K'zona y esperamos de volver pronto.

The place is quiet and peaceful, we had a great time here. Don Manuel and Rutilia are good people; they help you in everything you need. And the view is really amazing.

Great Place!! maybe the most relaxing and peaceful place in all Atitlan Lake. The house was neat, clean and with all the stuff you required for the stay. Definitely recommended

Pasamos año nuevo en Villa Shabbat en familia. Frank se encargo de que tuviéramos una estadía bastante cómoda y relajante. La villa cuenta con lo necesario para tener un experiencia única, sobre todo si necesitas salir de la ciudad y quieres tranquilidad y naturaleza.

Pasé seis días en esta casa con mi familia en Semana Santa. Fue una excelente opción para mi primer viaje al lago Atitlán, ya que íbamos buscando un lugar para descansar y desconectar a los chicos de tabletas e internet. La casa es cómoda con todas las amenidades. Frank estuvo muy atento a nuestra llegada y la señora Susy fue muy amable y correcta con la limpieza. El residencial es muy exclusivo, seguro y tenía un área donde los niños podían bañarse sin problema, ya que otras playas públicas no las vi muy limpias. El pueblo de San Lucas Tolimán donde esta el residencial no es muy turístico y no hay variedad de restaurantes, para nosotros no fue problema porque íbamos preparados para quedarnos en la casa. Del pueblo a la casa son como 2km y una parte del camino es de tierra y piedras. El pueblo Santiago es muy lindo, hay restaurantes y excelente opción para comprar artesanías, se llega fácilmente en auto desde San Lucas. Fuimos a Panajachel en lancha privada que nos recogió en el residencial fueron como 30 minutos de viaje y la oportunidad de ver lindos paisajes de los volcanes.

My family was planning to go to Lago de Atitlan and we choose Chalet Shabbat. It was a very good decision, this is a beautiful property, definitely impressive. Amazing, comfortable accommodations with beautiful views! They were so comfortable here. The view of the mountains and lake was beautiful. Frank was a wonderful host he was very friendly all the time and was helpful and made sure that my family was fine during the stay on Shabbat . My family stayed at the Chalet Shabbat for 3 days and they didn't imagine it was going to be as peaceful and beautiful as it was.

Chalet Shabbat provided a peaceful and fun experience for me and my friends. The accommodations were simple yet comfortable. It is an adventure driving through town and coming down small back roads to eventually park in paradise. The community has an amazing garden and flowers and trees everywhere you look. I recommend you book a day with a private boat with Frank's contact as he was reasonably priced and it allowed us to see several towns, jump from rocks into the lake and relax in the aguas terminales. Breakfast was delicious and Suzy cleans the house everyday allowing you to come home to a spotless and organized home. Highly recommended!

The host canceled this reservation 86 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

it was a good airbnb experience. we had a great time. we brought our dogs which are like our kids and the host was very welcoming! the place was beautiful, quiet, amazing little gardens around the property and Juan, the keeper was very respectful. we would love to come back here!

The host canceled this reservation 59 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

If you want the best of the best come stay here! Everything was over again the top! Can't wait to come back!!

It's a great and beautiful home to stay in. The views are amazing and the amenities are wonderful. Didn't get to see the cat :( A little far from Pana to drive but there is a boat dock to travel by water.

a great palce for nature lovers. the house is a 15 minute drive from the closest village. rhe house is split on 3 floors which can be tirening if you have to go up and down very often. there is a gorgeus kitchen with really all you need and more. The only issue we had with Traci was the day we rented her boat for a 25 min drive to Panjachel and back. Besides the rental fee of the boat she wanted to charge us 165 QZ for fuel which is completely exaggerated. (means 5 gallons of fuel plus half liter oil) for a 75 hp engine. But besides rhat our stay was great. Thanks a lot

The view is truly AMAZING and everyone is very alert to anything we need.

Beautiful place with amazing views, the best views ever! Quiet, great landscaping, comfortable beds, spacious, up scale, everything is perfect. If you're looking for a place to rest and read and listen to music or if you want to go on an adventure on the lake, this place has everything!
