http://www.rabkindesign.com/Rabkin_Design/Cottage_by_the_River.html Queen bed, Internet, wifi, Cable TV No smoking No pets Enjoy paradise in this darling "casita" situated on the grounds of one of the most admired private properties in downtown Boquete, just across the street from Los Establos Plaza.  We have earned high praise from our guests, many of whom are “repeat” visitors. See their comments at www.vrbo.com/250888. The cozy, comfy and convenient one-room guest cottage has a queen bed, very comfortable for a single person or couple. The covered terrace overlooking the river provides a pleasant setting for reading, meals or working on the computer. The casita sits behind a charming wrought iron gate overlooking a beautiful bubbling stream. 

It is stocked with mini-fridge, microwave, toaster-oven, electric kettle and coffee maker - the basics for preparing breakfast or a light meal. 

Fine cotton linens, duvet, down pillows and bath robes, complimentary local cell phone and free phone service to US are part of the amenity package, Laundry service available. Walk to restaurants & cafes, shopping, golf course, eco-touring, transportation! Or just hang out in the hammock, listening to the running stream. The setting is perfect for Spanish language study, cultural immersion and adventure.  
If you are considering a move to Panama, your hosts would be happy to answer questions and give you some "insider" tips. If you wish, you can arrange to take a course in silk painting with Barbara, an artist/teacher in Boquete. You may also wish to take one of Mort's artisan bread baking classes, using the wood fired clay oven. 

We and Maggie, our sweet Labradoodle, look forward to welcoming you as our honored guests.
