Vacation rentals in Los Mojones

I was going to spend an extended period in Matagalpa so I spent a week visiting all the places listed on AirBnB in person. Norvin's place is by far the best. The room is separated from the main living area and there is an extra sink, stove, and refrigerator to use so it's basically a whole apartment. It does face the street though and can be quite noisy as I don't believe people there believe in using mufflers. I made use of a white-noise machine. The location is in the middle of town and the entirety of Matagalpa can be traversed by foot in about 20 minutes. There are plenty of places to eat close by. A plate of food can be had for under 3 dollars at most of them. Breakfast and answers to questions are free. Norvin speaks some English which makes him one of probably 3 people in the whole town that does. There's hot water. The importance of this can't be overstated. Hot water is rare enough in Central America and that's normally no big deal but the water in the highlands areas is substantially colder than it is in, say, Managua. I stayed at another, comparably priced, AirBnB place my first week while I shopped for a long-term location. That place not only didn't have hot water but the water broke entirely and I was instructed on how to bathe out of a trashcan full of water with a little bucket. I was happy when Norvin told me I could move in early. Norvin is a professional baker. So, if you enjoy amazing baked goods and deserts, expect to get fatter during your stay. The balcony is perfect for a couple of people to hang out on and have a beer and a cigar from Esteli while watching the people do their thing. In summary, you'll get hot water, wifi, breakfast, a great location, fantastic hosts, an apartment-type living situation, laundry service, and a great location. Trust that I already did all the shopping around for you and book this place. Please tell everyone Nathan says 'hi' and give Valente a hug for me. I'm serious, please do that for me and enjoy your time in Matagalpa. It's a fun little town.

Taking the accommodation gave me peace of mind and above all, meeting exceptional people.

Very clean and comfy place to stay in Matagalpa. It does feel like staying in a hotel. walking distance to town, in a quiet neighbourhood. Eden is very responsive and friendly !

Parisa’s home was absolutely beautiful and peaceful! My husband, baby and I enjoyed every day of our stay. We felt right at home and enjoyed making meals and sitting out on the screened patio watching the birds fly and sing while looking at the mountains. Parisa’s place is exactly how described. There is AC, beautiful amenities, hot water, comfy bedding and furniture and an amazing view that you would never want to leave. The Airbnb has beautiful grounds to walk on as well if you’re looking to get some steps in or get outside. There is a gorgeous waterfall in Santa Emilia, 20 mins from the Airbnb and the downtown of Matagalpa is just a 17 min drive from the Airbnb. There isn’t WiFi in the Airbnb which is mentioned, though there are full bars of service on the phone and you can bring a hotspot if need be, anyways who wants to be on their phone when you have views like you do from Parisa’s Airbnb! We will definitely be back in the future! Thanks for such a tranquil stay!

This is the perfect location to explore Somoto Canyon. Patricia is a wonderful host and she arranged the perfect tour for us as soon as she found out what our interests were. The house is in nice neighbourhood easy to reach by taxi. A few restaurants nearby, but we really enjoyed both supper and breakfast that Patricia prepared for us.

Of all the places I have visited, Finca El Socorro, hosted by Sara, has been one of the most beautiful places we have ever visited and experienced. Sara has been an excellent host, always very attentive, communicative, and flexible. But the most important thing about her and her husband Edgar was the warmth and affection with which they welcomed us — they made us feel like a true member of their family. And feeling that way means a lot to me, and I truly appreciate it. It was a very short visit and stay, but it was absolutely worth it. The views from the house undoubtedly deserve to be on a postcard. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT RECOMMENDED!!! Thank you, Sara, for making us feel at home.

I agree with the other reviewers that Yelba offers a joyous and illuminating experience. The daily breakfast connected me to her home and community. Yelba arranged for 2 excursions that were outstanding. I highly recommend her property. Yelba exemplifies the warmth, resilience, and considerable talents of the Nicaraguan people.

We very much enjoyed our stay with Oscar even if it was only for a couple of nights. The farm is a little piece of paradise surrounded by the sound of the river, birds, goats, dogs and roosters. Oscar is very friendly, always helpful and just enjoyable company. The food was absolutely delicious, the morning coffee homegrown on the farm, homemade pizza baked in the wood fired bread oven outside, bananas, papayas and cocoa fresh from the garden just like garden Eden. Oscar showed us local pottery and helped us to get to see the coffee plantation. We easily would have liked to stay longer if we had a bit more time. Accommodation feels clean and comfortable. Thank you Oscar and Mauricio for such a special experience 🌺🙏🏽🙂
