What a wonderful place to spend a weeks vacation.
Location is magical, views breath taking, furnishing
colorful and comfortable. The kitchen is well
equipped but bring your own salt and pepper!
It is probably the BEST private house to stay, in the
Pucon area. You won't be disappointed if you
decide to stay here. |

Homeowner Response:
We are SO sorry... our caretakers forgot to leave out the condiments. April wanted to omit the sentence but we couldn't figure out how to change it. No worries... won't happen again.

We stayed at Gracias a la Vida for a month. It was a wonderful experience for our family of four. My little boys loved to play outside, they loved the dogs, and they especially loved Raquel, the caretaker. The house is warm and comfortable and we did not want for anything. The linens were wonderful, after traveling around the world. The kitchen is well stocked with sharp knives and
wonderful dishes.
The view is absolutely amazing. The volcano. The lake. The volcano. The lake We enjoyed our stay so much in Pucon that we are moving there this fall.
Thank you, Judyth and Bob, for sharing your wonderful house and all of your inside information. Our trip was a success!

Our stay in Pucon was like a dream! This home is truly as beautiful as it gets, warmly and meticulously decorated with all of the amentities (roof-top hot tub, gourmet kitchen,etc) AND an extraordinary view to boot. We LOVED our 2-week stay at Gracias a La Vida. We got so familiar with our volcano that we decided we HAD to climb it....what an adventure!! We highly recommend this for any visitors. Pucon is a fabulous, little tourist town and you just don't get tired of walking its little streets, sitting in its cafes or dining at its many restaurants. Carlos and Raquel are always around to help with anything you might need, and the dogs are always happy to greet you! We stayed for two weeks in March and the weather was perfect almost the entire time! Thank you so much for sharing your Chilean home with us....

"My wife and I spent 2 months traveling in Patagonia before coming to Pucon. We needed to relax and take a break. When we found Gracias a la Vida we knew it would be perfect. First of all, it is stunningly beautiful. The setting, with the lake in front and the snow-capped volcano behind, is incredible. The house is designed to compliment the natural beauty, inside and out. Secondly, the owners have provided everything you need to instantly feel at home. It is more than comfortable - it has luxury features that are not over-the-top, but simply encourage you to be still and use the precious time to restore one's soul. Give yourself this gift!"

Hi Judyth,
Please add to your guest comments:
It's hard to describe the absolute wonder of this Chilean home. The views from the house of the beautiful lake and awesome volcano are breathtaking. The deck on the top of the house provided a relaxing way to start the day with breakfast and end the day with the splendor of the skies, including the Milky Way and other constellations, not to mention the shooting stars all while enjoying the jacuzzi. The house itself was truly a cultural experience and full of life and color. We had a BBQ several nights and thoroughly enjoyed the company of your gracious caretakers (and loved the dogs). Day trips to Pucon to wander around the town and adventure trips zip lining and rafting were enjoyed by all. If the occasion presents itself again, I would stay at this wonderful home away from home in a heart beat. Thank you for letting us share your home and make many wonderful memories in Gracias a La Vida!!

| We spent Christmas at Gracias a La Vida for 2008 and had a wonderful time. The house is beautiful, with gorgeous views of the lake and volcano(especially at sunset from the rooftop hot tub). The property manager was incredibly helpful. The peace is wonderfully balanced with the proximity to town. We use vrbo regularly and this is one of the best places we have ever stayed, can't recommend it enough : ) |

Our vacation to “Gracias a la Vida” was a Chilean
adventure beginning with your stunning home. Its
appreciable architecture is jaw dropping inside and out.
The location of the property has almost make-believe
scenery. It’s quiet, very private, a little off the beaten
path with absolutely unobstructed, magnificent views. It’s
a very special hide-away. Not only did we find your home
enchanting, but also we found that “peaceful place to be
in life”. We left Pucon with new friends, lots of adventure
under our belts, an enriched spirit and definitely the need
to follow through with more Spanish lessons for our return
one day.

Thank you so much for having us in your lovely home! We so enjoyed having
access to town while feeling miles away from our busy lives. It was easy to have
a restful, restorative vacation surrounding by the lake, the volcano, and your
beautiful art work. We wish you many happy years in this lovely place!"

It has been completely spectacular. What an honor to initiate this guestbook! We have reveled in this beautiful place, enjoying every aspect of your thoughtfully-designed home and the environs of Pucon. Thank you x 10 to the sixth! ...Carlos and Raquel have been so helpful.
"Perhaps this is the house I lived in when neither I nor earth existed, when all was moon or stone or darkness, when still light was unborn.
I want to tell you how much I loved your Chilean home. I don't want to seem melodramatic, but meditating on the pillows by the open front window was a truly sacred experience. The air there is somehow different - maybe it's just that it's clean, and so quiet. Wonderful. Thank you. We got climb to the volcano and visit forests and rivers. The weather was perfect.
