On-Site Activities
For those looking for adventure or relaxation, explore the natural wonders of Hush Valley with our on-site activities:

• Tranquil Forest Trails: Wander along our forest trails and immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscape. Ancient trees, a virginal fern forest, blackberries, and some of the best birdwatching in Costa Rica await you, along with butterflies and bees dancing from flower to flower. The land here breathes relaxation and peace.
• Seasonal Foraging and Exploration: We always welcome explorations of the land—you never know what treasures you might discover! For a more guided experience, we offer a casual foraging tour to show you the best seasonal spots. This service can be added to your reservation for $15 per person. The fee helps us manage the upkeep of the hiking trails on our 38-acre property. 
• River Bathing: For those who enjoy cold water immersion, our river provides a perfect opportunity to take an invigorating dip into the swimming pools. The water is refreshingly cold and a great way to connect with nature.
• Forest Bathing: Experience the ancient practice of forest bathing—an immersion in the sights, sounds, and smells of the forest. Walk among towering ancient trees and feel the interconnectedness of it all, allowing your mind to relax and your senses to awaken. Forest bathing offers a deep sense of peace, helping to reduce stress and create a feeling of profound connection to nature.

Although we are tucked away on 38 acres of lush forestry, Hush Valley is in no way a secluded island detached from community and activities. There are plenty of attractions nearby, including wine tours, goat dairies, orchard tours, stunning waterfalls, coffee roaster tours, local dining, and much more. These experiences provide a wonderful blend of nature and culture, enriching your stay with us.

Extra Cleaning Service Add-On
The single cleaning fee is already included in the total cost of your package, ensuring your casita is clean and comfortable when you arrive. However, if you'll be staying with us for an extended period and would like an additional cleaning during your stay, this add-on is perfect for you. Simply select the add-on, and we’ll follow up to schedule a convenient time to ensure your comfort is maintained throughout your stay.
