When we arrived at our Airbnb in Lake Atitlán, we knew we had found something special. Nestled right on the edge of the lake, it felt like our own private paradise. The property was a beautiful mix of rustic charm and modern comfort, surrounded by lush greenery and with stunning views of the lake and volcanoes. We had seen the pictures online, but the reality was even better.
Our private bungalow was massive, with an open-concept living space that felt airy and inviting. Floor-to-ceiling windows let in natural light and gave us panoramic views of the lake. The decor was cozy but elegant, with natural wood tones and local textiles. The hot tub just outside the bungalow was the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring—we sat there under the stars with a glass of wine more nights than we can count.
The property had not one, but multiple swimming pools scattered across the grounds. Some were more secluded, tucked away behind tropical plants, while others had wide-open views of the lake. We spent lazy mornings lounging by the pool and cooling off with afternoon swims. The whole property felt so peaceful that it was easy to lose track of time.
It wasn’t just a stay—it was an experience that connected us to the heart of Lake Atitlan.
One of the coolest things about this Airbnb was the range of activities it offered. We had access to a canoe and a longboard, which we used to explore the calm waters of the lake. Paddling out early in the morning when the lake was perfectly still was one of the most peaceful and memorable parts of our trip. The property also had a beautifully landscaped yard and a shaded nature patio where we sat and listened to the sounds of the birds and the water.

Staying at this Airbnb made our trip to Lake Atitlán even more special. It wasn’t just a place to sleep—it became a key part of the experience. The mix of luxury, natural beauty, and thoughtful details made it feel like home. We left feeling relaxed, inspired, and already dreaming of coming back.
