    The location is on Volcan San Pedro. To arrive you take a lancha to Santiago where the owner will pick you up for a short ride to the cabin. He is very flexible and will take you to the mainland whenever you need to, making it a cozy cabin...

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.
