Playing & enjoying the simplicity of the life! Now available with lake access This is your opportunity to travel to the past, without being in the past. Enjoy this magnificent museum piece! All the pieces are original & give you an idea of our grandparents life. Sleep enjoying the sound of the coquis & natural life. Welcome to the 1950. The space .

A hidden gem inside the mountains of the municipality of Cidra. Excellent space to disconnect you from the busy life of the city and get in contact with nature. You can walk, hike, make a bonfire, or just sit at the lakeshore to recharge your batteries. Enjoy the views and the sound of the coqui during the sunset. Enjoy the stars and the night sky away from the city. Live the experience of the past and remember our grandparents. In the grandpa's house, you will live like them. This is a triple experience to the past in only one place: 2. In an adjacent structure, the 1950 grocery store, you will have access to a traditional bathroom with a shower, a 2-burner gas stove, a small refrigerator, and a microwave. You will have the basic commodities but live like Grandpa. 3. Visit the iconic ranch where Bad Bunny film his musical video "Pitorro de Coco" Boricua owned!

Vehicles like a Toyota Camry, an SUV, or a 4x4. Other things to note Use only Google Maps to drive to the property; you can get lost if you use other apps like Apple Maps. Remember this is a rural area with just a few traffic lights; we highly recommend arriving early the 1st time to get familiarized with the area.Wi-Fi: There is no Wi-Fi signal in Grandpa's house, but if you need to use it, you can access the Wi-Fi service close to the main house.You will be in the middle of 5 acres of land, in total contact with nature and in an emblematic property from the 50's. In simple words: there are no screens on the windows, and you sleep with a mosquito net. Insects are a vital part of the flora and fauna, and you can see a wide variety of them in the surroundings, from lizards to fireflies. In the same way, and despite the fact that we have an exterminator visit every 2 weeks, sometimes they can be inside the grandfather's house. A real, genuine, and magical experience.For those not familiar with the local driving conditions, it's advisable to approach the journey with a sense of adventure and patience. The roads, while providing an authentic experience of the country's topography, may require a bit of adaptability from drivers more accustomed to city driving.Compact vehicles are more than capable of reaching our hidden oasis. The key is to drive safely, taking your time to navigate any twists, bumpy roads, and turns with care. The reward for your efforts is an untouched sanctuary, where the untouched beauty of nature awaits.We are close to Monasterio Santa Clara - only for reference

Weekend Trip to Mountain Retreat

It is difficult to overstate just how wonderful this place is. Andres gave us clear and concise directions on how to get there, via pre-recorded video, and that made it easy to get there. The drive itself was marvelous because for the most part you are high on the mountains. We are avid campers and brought everything we needed but have to say that the outdoor kitchen/gazebo was pretty darn cool and convenient! There is a stove, kitchen sink, a “fogón” (cooking fire pit) as well as a full size refrigerator. This was more “Glamping” than “camping”. We camp every month on full moon as I love to watch the moonrise as well as the moonset and this place was particularly special for that. As someone that grew up in Puerto Rico but lived most of my adult life outside the island, what I can tell you about the area is that the residents are extremely friendly, well manners and considerate that I am otherwise accustomed to. Everybody we saw whether driving on or driving out would wave at us, as if we were known to them. I hope you try this place and when you do, I am confident you are definitely going to enjoy it.

Very peaceful place. I personally enjoy nature and the lake is stunning. Next time I can't forget my fishing gear! You see big fishes close to shore. At night they have solar lights that helps a lot. The running water is only in the bathrooms which are very well kept. A place to get ice and supplies is a 2 min drive. Highly recommend!

Its easy to drive to the property. Near by there is a gas station you can purchase ice and other supplies. They also have a food truck near the gas station. There is a very peaceful and serene atmosphere. Bathrooms are clean. There is running water in the main gazebo that you can wash dishes. I love the place. Is my second time here and I plan to come again.

Fui solo buscando un lugar tranquilo y encontré justo lo que necesitaba. Desde que llegué, Janairi me recibió con mucha amabilidad. Me hizo sentir bienvenido desde el primer momento. El lugar es hermoso. La vista al río es especial. Pasé tiempo sentado mirando el agua y escuchando los sonidos de la naturaleza. Se siente una paz difícil de encontrar en otros lugares. Pude participar en una actividad de labor comunitaria. Fue una experiencia simple pero valiosa. Todo el lugar invita a desconectar del estrés y conectar con uno mismo y con la tierra. Me fui agradecido y con ganas de volver.

Finca Uateke is just beyond beautiful. It is remote and tucked in the mountains away from the main streets, perfect for nature lovers (especially birders!) and everyone who is adventurous and wishes to experience a more peaceful and quiet side to our Puerto Rico. The drive is not for the faint of heart haha but everyone visiting Orocovis should know that! ;) Andres is an exceptional host, he is incredibly attentive and kind and made sure that I had a good time at the finca. He provided clear instructions and helpful videos on how to find the location and how to park there. The amenities were perfect and were kept very clean. You can tell that he loves Finca Uateke and genuinely wants to share it with his guests. Overall, I absolutely recommend that you visit, whether you’re a native, local, or just visiting the Island for a few days. It’s well worth it! :)

This place is incredible. Don’t let the low price fool you, it is paradise with the perfect amenities. We had a 22 foot van that we were able to back up to the Mountain View. It is such an open and peaceful location. I felt very safe there. The bathroom was clean. The shower and washer/drier set up was excellent. The owners Andres and Gabriella were quick to respond and answer questions. They even included a video once you rent to tell you where to go! We will be back!

The breathtaking mountain views make it ideal for photography and relaxation. The facilities are clean, with well-maintained restroom, and spacious sites.

Acampar en El Mirador fue una experiencia que excedió nuestras expectativas. Andrés fue muy asertivo con todas sus recomendaciones. La carretera estaba en excelentes condiciones y el pin nos dirigió perfectamente. La localización de la propiedad es un sueño. Habíamos visto imágenes del lugar, pero la primera impresión nos dejó sin palabras. Adicional a la vista, absolutamente todo el lugar estaba impecablemente limpio. Las facilidades tenían disponible para cocinar al carbón y con hornillas de gas, un amplio fregadero y una nevera grande con congelador, lo cual nos brindó una comodidad adicional a la experiencia. Sobre el baño, además que la decoración es un sueño, cuenta con calentador de agua... todo lo que uno quiere luego de un día de aventuras y de experimentar el "friito" de las montañas de Orocovis. ¡Demás está decir que volveremos!
