Peace Lodge and Waterfall Gardens

One of the country’s most whimsical stays, Peace Lodge is an unrestrained tribute to the natural world, with on-site waterfall hikes and a historic farmhouse. Each storybook villa or guest room is hidden in the cloud forest, and features river-stone fireplaces, balconies with a Jacuzzi (or two) and a hammock, and a tiled bathroom with a waterfall shower. Visitors come to the Peace Lodge just for the rescued wildlife preserve, where guests can attend feedings for hummingbirds, toucans, and jaguars—including three adolescent cubs born at the facility.
