Cabañas del Cerro

La pileta climatizada está perfecta, pero no volvería. The cabins get incredibly hot, and without air conditioning it was hard to sleep. Opening the windows to cool things down let in bugs, including wasps, and there were several nests in the roof. The owners' manner was very curt, too. I expected the location and entry details the day before. When I messaged, I only got videos and the gate code. The cabin access code arrived 30 minutes later, after I'd already gotten in. My cabin was attached to an identical one with only a wooden wall between them, so you could hear the neighbors talking and doing things, as well as footsteps on the stairs. That stair noise could even be heard outside.

The setting really won me over, with the grounds immersed in nature and Mount Piltri in the background. The cabins are equipped for cooking, the rooms are comfortable and have a fan and TV, and the Wi-Fi worked perfectly. There's a heated pool that's lovely and very popular. I especially enjoyed feeling close to nature, though you'll need a car to get there; stores are about a kilometer away. It's near the 42nd parallel and El Bolsón, and close to the center of Puelo. There's a grill, but using it isn't as simple as just having a barbecue: you need permission from Civil Defense, depending on wind speed. The kitchens are very comfortable, in any case. Thank you for everything, Patricia! Sonia from Lanús.

The bed and shower were decent, but the rest of this two-person cabin was frustrating. At night it gets hot, and the choice is an open window with a rotten-egg smell coming in or a fan louder than a train. The curtains were ripped, the windows wouldn't open, and there was dog poop everywhere. They didn't even leave a bit of salt for cooking. Frying an egg was out of the question unless you wanted to eat pure Teflon. It looks like no money has gone into upkeep for ages. Unless you're driving a 4x4, you'll curse the climb up the entrance ramp, which isn't much of a ramp at all. And if I'm being picky, the all-white lighting was annoying.

Patricia, the owner, was helpful when we had questions about using the pool and grills. She explained the process and the authorization needed for the grill. The property itself is very nice, and we highly recommend it. Thanks so much!
