January 2020Back Again and Just as good the Second Time!
We visited La Pena for the second year in a row and loved it as much if not more this time! Martha is a great host, and Hilda, Nico and Fernando did everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Hard to beat sitting in the hot tub overlooking the lake with the nightly spectacular sunsets!”

January 2020Beautiful view, elegant interior design
We stayed a week in mid Janaury 2020 in this lovely house. It was very relaxing after a hectic but fulfilling 6 days in Mexico City. The two make a great combination. The owners are very helpful, we even met for a glass of wine prior to our stay, in Mexico City. We drove in a rental car quite easily in about 2 hours from Mexico City. The town is small and attractive, mostly the tourists are local, so it felt like an authentic experience. We enjoyed a boat ride on the lake, and especially the trip to the butterfly sanctuary to see the Monarchs. In January the daily high was 25 to 26 Celsius, so very comfortable. pleasantly cool at night. Hilda, the housekeeper was very helpful, and would prepare dinners for when we didn't want to go out. Mostly we enjoyed relaxing poolside enjoying the view. The owners' attention to interior design was exemplified by their collection of architecture books we enjoyed perusing. Highly recommended.”

January 2019Perfect Vacation!
My wife and I and two friends stayed at the magnificent La Pena Rock House for two amazing weeks. The pictures do not do this house justice. The weather was perfect and our host Martha was very helpful and responded immediately to questions we had. We were pampered by Hilda's cooking and housekeeping and Nico took care of the pool, hot tub and grounds. Valle de Bravo is a wonderful small town with several great restaurants. All Martha's recommendations were excellent. The only glitch we had was the gas shortage but Nico somehow found us gas! Oh and I should mention that none of us speak Spanish so we had a lot of fun trying to communicate with Martha but she was delightful and we managed beautifully. ”
