The Lodge
The Hot Springs Lodge is located just outside Quepos, Costa Rica on approximately 2.5 acres with direct river frontage. Scott and Diane Nieminen fell in love with this privately owned property after stumbling upon it several years ago. Shortly thereafter they embarked on a mission to purchase the Lodge and share the breathtaking beauty and rejuvenating hot springs with people searching for an authentic Costa Rican experience.
Just getting to the Lodge is a thrilling experience with two stream crossings and mountainous roads. Once there you’ll be met with a remoteness not found anywhere else in the area. Adding to the surreal beauty is the state-of-the-art Hydro-Electric system fed by a nearby waterfall that provides all the power making the Lodge totally green.
The Lodge boasts farm fresh eggs, fabulous authentic breakfast and crazy good coffee. After breakfast you can embark on many activities both on the property and off. We’ll help you every step of the way to make it an unforgettable experience.
The Mission
Our mission is to help people experience the real Costa Rica while balancing sustainability with convenience. We are inspired to serve our guests so that we may serve the community.
