Fodor's Review:

The best thing about this B&B is the service provided by its Canadian owners, Janet and Glenn Lee. They rent mountain bikes, prepare box lunches, and organize tours ranging from bird-watching to a guided hike on the Sendero Los Quetzales with luggage transfer to your hotel in Boquete. Then there's its tranquil location at the forest edge, where a stream runs through the gardens and birdsong plays from sunrise to sunset. Spacious, well-equipped guest rooms are decorated with indigenous Panamanian crafts. Brighter end rooms are worth the extra $10. Guests share a cozy lounge with a fireplace, DVD, stereo, and computer, as well as a wide covered terrace with rocking chairs for watching the hummingbirds. You might end up skipping lunch after the magnificent breakfasts. Pros: Quiet, near nature, great breakfasts, helpful owners, nice rooms. Cons: No restaurant, often full.
