My husband and I spent three nights at Casa Divina in May, and it was a truly amazing experience. The cabins were perfect: new, clean, spacious, and unique; the wood floors were gorgeous. The birding and nature hikes were outstanding, but the food was the highlight. The best in Ecuador! Each meal was better than the next. Owners Molly and... more

My husband and I spent three nights here in March. Molly was a super resouce prior to our arrival. Having never travelled in Ecuador, we had plenty of pre-arrival questions and she patiently answered them all. She also arranged for a driver for us from the Quito airport to the lodge. That got us off to a great start. Our... more

My husband & I stayed here at the end of April. Even though on both our hikes it rained, it didn't dampen the beauty of it all. It helped that we were able to get our clothes (and shoes) washed & dried. Molly & Efrain are wonderful hosts. The guided hikes by Efrain were awesome - he knows his stuff... more

i stayed here with my boyfriend on my second trip to Mindo. The property is WONDERFUL. The cabañas are adorable and very private because they are set back into the cloud forest. They do not rent out both floors of the cabañas to separate parties so it a great romantic escape. The food that Molly makes is fantastic. She varies... more

My wife and I just returned from a wonderful holiday in Ecuador, including a cruise in the Galapagos Islands with Celebrity Cruises (amazing!). After the cruise we spent 3 nights at Casa Divina in Mindo. The cabins were spotless and beautiful, well made of rich and exotic woods, and the setting, nestled amongst streams in the cloud forest outside of... more

This is a great hideaway in the cloud forest. Although it was one of the most expensive places we stayed in Ecuador we loved it. The property is beautiful and Molly and Efrain make you feel right at home. Molly is an incredible cook - her homemade soups are divine. Efrain is a fabulous birder and naturalist and took us... more

Casa Divina is a great place for families and for weekend adventures outside of Quito. We loved the setting in the forest and the private cabins. The hosts make you feel at home, serve delicious meals, and arrange interesting adventures. The zip lines were awesome, and the children's night hike fascinated the adults. It was wonderful to be so comfortable... more

Molly and Efrain have a great little forest retreat, complete with a resident quetzal and an elusive potoo. Entirely, and beautifully, built of local materials by Efrain and couple of helpers, the lodge consists of a main dining and meeting building and four screened-in two-story cottages, with a large room and bath on each floor. Very clean, lots of beautiful... more

I stumbled upon their website. It is beautifully designed and intrigued me to find out more. Molly Brown, a great American gal who serves up marvelous meals and killer deserts (she also runs the Heavenly Goddess bakery in the village of Mindo) and her partner Efrain Toapanta, Ecudoran with an extraordinary knowlege of the local ecology and birdlife, and their... more
