“Placentero y tranquilo”
Nice place, pleasant weather, and you can cook.
The tranquility.
“Paz y pura amabilidad en el ambiente.”
The kindness distinguishes the people in Zautla. That and the most delicious mole tamales in the region. Pure tasty pleasure.
“A peaceful, mountain-top stay near Oaxaca that gave both me and my service dogs exactly what we need”
Everything about this stay was incredible. An open space perched on top of a mountain, surrounded by mountains, and close enough to Oaxaca to explore with ease. I chose to stay here because it was exactly what I needed—and exactly what my service dogs needed as well. I loved the town and every person I met. Pedro made my stay effortless, and he has an amazing rescued dog named Luna, who spent a lot of time with me and my dogs. My dog rescue foundation thrives because of humans like Pedro—people with huge hearts who choose to take in a dog and, by doing so, inspire others to do the same. For anyone traveling to Oaxaca who wants a real, authentic connection to Mexico, Loma Rabo Ratón has everything you need. Every local I encountered offered nothing but smiles and friendship. That fact I had to leave for work! I would have stayed for another week or two!
It is a very good place, pretty with views of the valley and a countryside vibe… the cabin did not have hotel‑style amenities, which is fine, there was no TV but there was WiFi and hot water. The caretaker’s service was poor, as we had to wait almost half an hour for him to receive us. Afterwards, he ignored us on mobile communication until he had time to return to set up a fire pit that had already been paid for and give us “personally” the WiFi (he didn’t want to share the password via message). I am talking about at least 4 hours of uncertainty, because I didn’t know if we would see him that day or until the next day when we were supposed to deliver, and in fact no one showed up at check‑out time.
