Estancia del Carmen

Perched at the base of Cerro Ventana inside Nahuel Huapi National Park, about 10 km from downtown San Carlos de Bariloche and a short drive to Gutiérrez Lake and Cerro Otto. This family-friendly mountain resort mixes lodge rooms and cabins across seven hectares of forest, mountain and lake views.

Choose from a lodge room or one of the mountain cabins (three sizes available) across a low-density property built for quiet and big vistas. Rooms (19 total) come with LED/plasma TVs, blackout drapes, safes and private bathrooms with shower/tub combos and bidets. Expect a cozy lobby fireplace and broad outdoor spaces that frame forest-and-lake panoramas.

Stay active or unwind: indoor pool, spa tub and a health club sit alongside ski storage and winter-friendly services. There’s an attached winery, arcade/game room, ping-pong and picnic/BBQ areas. Babysitting and area shuttle services are available for a surcharge. Wake up to lake-breeze mornings and stretch out in big mountain grounds.

Onsite business center, conference room and a meeting room for events. 24-hour front desk, luggage storage and a safe-deposit box at reception. Complimentary wireless internet is provided, and train-station pick-up or airport shuttle can be arranged for a surcharge.

An onsite restaurant and coffee shop/café serve meals and snacks, with room service during limited hours and buffet breakfasts available for a fee. Alfresco dining spots overlook the lake and the property’s bar/lounge and attached winery round out evening options.
