Cabañas El Estribo Hotel  

Tucked into Valle de Bravo’s wooded outskirts, this rustic cabin retreat sits in a rural forest setting, about 11 km from Temascaltepec de González. Nearby highlights include Rancho Avándaro Country Club, the Church of Saint Mary and Velo de Novia Waterfalls. Family-friendly and pet-friendly in the bungalows.

Seventeen wood cabins and bungalows surround gardens and pine forest. Rooms feature fireplaces, flat-screen TVs, DVD players and private furnished balconies or patios. Expect simple, cozy décor, daily housekeeping, refrigerators and microwaves in-room, and a warm lobby fireplace.

Onsite massages, a terrace and garden areas set a relaxed tone. Play a round on the mini-golf, hit the ping-pong tables, ride mountain bikes, or relax in the clubhouse saloon. There’s a picnic and barbecue area, a kids’ playroom, and free self-parking. Wi‑Fi is available in common areas.

A small business center is onsite. Private check-in/out, a safe-deposit box and free self-parking add convenience for work-and-play stays.

Start days with a breakfast bufete included with many stays. A weekend restaurant (open daily in peak season), a bar/lounge and limited-hours room service cover casual meals and local flavors. Use the barbecue and picnic areas for hands-on dining in the trees.
