Take a taxi up the mountain to this little gem. Used by local tourists and backpackers alike, this well appointed and well priced b&b will offer what you need to get away from the city towards fireplaces, wooden furniture, many comfortable details and a view to die for. The staff is courteous and attentive, making the fire in your room, or serving you a beautiful pizza with an inexpensive bottle of wine. The owner became another friend as she is well traveled with great English. There's hand made maps for local expositions, like a walk to a waterfall. They'll guide you to learning about Ecuador!
PS. Wifi is only in the main house and my cabin was down a pathway.

Country cottage

Beautiful place in a peaceful rural setting a few km from Otavalo. Dinners are excellent, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed my stay. Avoid if you are allergic to dogs or would not like multiple dogs constantly traipsing back and forth through the common area / restaurant with the occasional tussling and barking fit.

Wonderful, but the dogs!

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights. Despite knowing it was a bit out of town and up a hill, I was taken aback by the rough road up there and did start to wonder where we were headed. We had also just flown in from the Galapagos so we’re still in shorts and T-shirts. We got taken into the main reception/dining area to be confronted by a roaring fire and guests huddled in woolly hats and fleeces. I’m not sure which of us were more shocked by the appearance of the other!

But once we changed into warmer clothes and got the fire in our bedroom lit and the hot water bottle, and huddled under our many blankets, it felt really quite cozy and homely. We had missed lunch due to our travels so settled in with a bottle of red and ordered soup to start, some garlic bread and then spag bol. Just to say, the soup portions are large. I was floored by the soup but we still scoffed the lot. The food was homemade and tasty and hot the spot.

Breakfast was perhaps a little more disappointing given how the dinner was but I still enjoyed it. 

Location wise, we would get the bus into town but always got a taxi back up. I can’t imagine how long the walk up would have taken us but then again, the taxi ride was so bumpy I felt quite icky after it!

The only issue was settling the bill at the end. The price I was billed was higher than the rate I had booked through Booking.com and despite me showing the lady my confirmation and price, it took over 30 mins to resolve it. I’m guessing she had no authority to accept it and of course I wouldn’t have wanted her to get into trouble but that was a saga. 

Would I stay here again? Yes, definitely, but just be aware it’s out of the way a bit. And if you can speak Spanish all the better. Most staff can’t speak much English so finding out about how to get certain places is tricky but not insurmountable. That’s my fault for not being able to speak the local language!

Oh, and the dogs are all lovely too 😁

Enjoyable stay

La Luna was magical. The owners and staff were lovely, welcoming and very helpful. The property is beautiful, located out of town, with great views and 4 gorgeous and friendly dogs. The food was great, the included breakfasts were different every day, and always generous and delicious. Great coffee.
I was in the dorm, which was spacious and clean. There was hot water and good water pressure. Nightly fires in the restaurant were super cosy.
Gracias Tamara!

Magical stay, beautiful location

Hi All, This is my third trip to La Luna Mountain Lodge and it just gets better and better. Tamara and Kevin are the ultimate host and hostess.  Susie, Rosie, and the guys are wonderful and their attention to detail is well appreciated.  As usual I stayed in "my room" better known as "Rojas" so comfy, love the fireplace and the view is truly Amazing!!! It was hard to leave and I'm looking forward to going back soon!  Thanks to the crew!!! Love you, miss you!

Beautiful, laid back home away from home!

La Luna is on the outskirts of Otavalo, and is the most beautiful place to fall asleep and wake up. When it’s cold outside, fall asleep in a room with a fireplace, watching the flames dance. Wake up to the sounds of birds outside your window, watch them bounce from limb to limb and see the hummingbirds taste each flower to find the right one while you are still tucked in under the fluffy covers. It’s a world away from the hustle of the city, but also just a short ride or walk into town. 

Food at the restaurant was good. Rosa is a wonderful cook, I dined there most nights. The rooms were full of nice touches like fresh flowers by the bed and eucalyptus branches in the shower. Everything was very clean. I never saw the owners, but the staff was so nice. The dogs are especially well behaved. Overall, a very lovely place to stay. 

Far away, So close 

We recently spent 2 nights at Luna and are counting the days until we can return once again.

From checkin through checkout and everything in between our stay was excellent. The main lodge is comfortable with a well tended fireplace. 

The Owners , Kevin and Tammy along with their daughter, Emma Rose, and a team of knowledgeable and dedicated staff offer a warm and  comfortable experience that makes you feel right at home. 

The rooms are well maintained and tastefully decorated. The private bathroom was spotless and more than adequate. Hot water is plentiful. 

The views are spectacular and the surroundings provide an idyllic mountain calm. 

The food was great, simple fare, well prepared in more than adequate portions. I ate the Caprese salad at every meal as the tomatoes were grown on the Lodge'veggie garden. 

We were about a 15 minute drive up the hill from the Otavalo open air market( not to be missed).

This is a quaint, well managed, tranquil lodge.  We are already planning our return trip. 

When can we go back again

After traveling through Ecuador we wanted to spend some relaxing days and we found the perfect spot! Cozy rooms (some with a fireplace) and a great view on the region of Otavalo let's you calm down and chill. The dinner options in the restaurant were all very delicious!

Excellent place to relax

I absolutely loved my experience here. The staff was extremely friendly and greeted me warmly. The rooms are very pretty (request a room that overlooks the view cause there are some on the back side). The hammocks are so comfortable and I loved sitting and reading outside while lying in the hammock. There are two fire places inside and curling up by the fire at night was wonderful. The view from their outlook is really nice and only a 2 minute walk. Walking to the Waterfall Taxopamba was so nice. It is a 30 minute walk from the Lodge and it is really small hike through pastoral lands and indigenous communities. I highly recommend staying here!! Wish I could have stayed longer.
