World-class experience
Pros:

Spectra Lodge is an amazing place. The design is stunning, the bed is comfortable, and the hospitality is world-class. Every detail—from the delicious breakfast and dinner to the peaceful mountain atmosphere—was spot on. There are lots of charming items in the rooms and main area, which in a normal location could become a bit messy, but everything is truly spotless with not a speck of dust to be found! James is a great host with a lot of knowledge of the surrounding area. He can help you plan your stay and even your follow-up itinerary if you want. Highly recommended.

Cons:

We only stayed two nights. In hindsight we would've preferred to stay longer since there's a lot to do in the area.

Das versteckte Juwel in Chile. Eine Nacht ist viel zu kurz...
Pros:

Man fährt durch diese stille, majestätische Landschaft – und plötzlich steht da dieses kleine Wunder aus Holz, Wärme und Gastfreundschaft. Ich hatte das Gefühl: Das hier ist kein normales Hotel, das ist ein Ort mit Herz.

Chris und James sind Gastgeber, die die seltene Kunst beherrschen, gleichzeitig entspannt und unglaublich aufmerksam zu sein. Ich glaube fast, sie konnten schon von Weitem erkennen, ob ich Lust auf Abenteuer, Ruhe oder ein zweites Glas Wein habe.

Mein Zimmer war unglaublich gemütlich und mit unzähligen liebevollen Details - Motto Hexenzimmer - eingerichtet. Und dieser Blick! Es sah aus, als hätte jemand Vulkan und Berge extra vor meinem Fenster perfekt arrangiert.

Das Frühstück war excellent. Frisch, liebevoll, jedes Detail durchdacht.

Dazu die Umgebung: heiße Quellen, Vulkane, Nationalparks – ein riesiger Naturspielplatz direkt vor der Tür. Selbst mein Auto schien glücklicher zu sein.

Die Spectra Lodge ist für mich ein Zaubertrick. Kaum angekommen – und schon war die Welt langsamer, schöner und alles fühlte sich so richtig an. Ich komme wieder!

Cons:

Nothing

A fantastic stay
Pros:

We loved our stay at Spectra Lodge. The rooms are super well decorated as well as the main room of the lodge. We really feel we are in a fairy tale! We were sleeping in the enchanted forest room with a huge comfortable bed it was hard to get out from after a nice sleep! James and Kris took care of us so well. Kris cooked very good breakfast and full dinner. In addition, dinner and drinks were at a very fair price. James gave us a lot of information on what to do in the area but also in sur chico as he lived several years in pucon. He planned different day trips for us to choose from. We really felt home with a five star service. We also enjoyed playing with their dog Taika and petting their cat Maple (or at least trying to), they're so cute! Now that we're gone we're already feeling nostalgic about this place. I really recommend this small lodge!

Cons:

Nothing

La casa es hermosa, y tiene una decoracion muy especial. Se nota una dedicacion en escoger todo para que sea una experiencia unica. Tambien es muy calida. Las habitaciones son tematicas y eso lo hace mas entretenido. Tiene una vista fabulosa al volcan Lonquimay y por las noches es impresionante la cantidad de estrellas que pueden verse.. realmente hermoso.
Esta muy cerca del centro de ski y de termas y saltos.
Los anfitriones son muy amables y atentos y las cenas son riquisimas!

10/10 - love this place! Can’t wait to go back!
Pros:

We stumbled across Spectre Lodge whilst doing research for our trip to Chile, asoon as I saw it I so excited to come and experience this magical place.
Kris and James are absolutely fantastic hosts. Everything was so perfect during our entire stay, they focus on the fine details to make sure your stay is a memorable experience. The level of detail these two have invested in this beautiful place shines through. I’ll remember this trip forever. I won’t go into too much detail about the place itself, as I feel that the surprise adds to the magic experience.

The food is beyond incredible, we looked forward to breakfast and Dinner each day. So much choice and all cooked perfectly.

James was so informative about all of the activities that were available in the local area for summer/winter. The level of thought that has gone into supplying all of this information for so that the guests can get the most of our their stay, is truely impressive and genuine.

Would recommend to everybody! 10/10 stay.
Thank you Kris and James!
We will hopefully return in the future!
