A large property hidden in the jungle on the shores of Lake Atitlán. Relax, rest, and focus in total peace and quiet: there are no roads, no cars, and no neighbors. The only sound is the chirping of the birds in the trees. The property is only accessible by boat. It's a 4-minute boat ride from the city of Santiago. My workers and I will take you in a boat back and forth between the property and Santiago. The space: The chalet is a single-story wooden house which is a short walk up the hill on a stone path, set amidst the trees and plants. The wooden house has two bedrooms: a master bedroom with a large bed, and a smaller room with a two-bed bunk bed. Blankets, sheets, towels, and many pillows are all provided for your comfort. The house is fully equipped. The kitchen has a stove, oven, microwave, coffee machine, pots, pans, utensils. The main room has a TV, DVD player, as well as tables and chairs. The internet is by satellite. Download speed: 10 Mbps; upload speed: 1-3 Mbps. The guest access: You have full access to the entire property. There is a basketball court (which can also be used for volleyball), a fire pit where you can roast your food in the outdoors, benches for picnics, and kayaks and canoes which you can use on the lake. I have gardens on the lake from which I'd love to share with you whatever is available during your stay: lettuce, chilis, Swiss chard, cabbage, dragonfruit, papaya, and lots more. Plus as many bananas as you can eat!

Welcome! My name is Richard. I'm from Utah in the United States. My son lives in Utah and my daughter in Nevada. My wife passed away nine years ago. I was a high-school teacher of the German language in the US. During one of my vacations, I visited Guatemala, and I fell in love with Lake Atitlán and the culture of the people here. So after my retirement, I decided to move to Guatemala. I've lived in this property on the shores of Lake Atitlán for 3 years. I love woodworking, gardening, and I'm always working to improve the property and its nature to enhance its beauty in a sustainable way. I love living here because of the beautiful nature, the views, the lake, the indigenous culture, and the weather. And I love to share all of that with my guests here! I speak English, German, and Spanish. I would be very happy to welcome you here to this idyllic and tranquil paradise on Lake Atitlán.

Our chalet is located in the woods, surrounded by nature. Our neighbors are a distance away. The house is surrounded by many large trees, beautiful plants and flowers. There are beautiful views of Lake Atitlán and the two volcanos on the other side of the lake, Tolimán and Atitlán. I love living here because of the beautiful nature, the views, the lake, and the weather. And I love to share all of that with my guests! Since I live on the property, I'm just a short walk away and can help you at any time to make your stay more comfortable, yet at the same time, you have all the privacy you need in your house in the jungle. I provide breakfast or a welcome food package so you can cook for yourself if you like. I also provide purified water for your entire stay. The house is available for short-term or long-term rentals. Solar panels generate all the electricity on the property. It's a very unique space, so if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I would be very happy to welcome you here to this idyllic and tranquil paradise on Lake Atitlán.
