Estancia Peuma Hue is a private ranch located within the grounds of Argentina’s first and largest national park–Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi. The ranch spans some 500 acres, in the heart of Argentina’s Lake District, on the idyllic shores of the Lake Gutierrez.
Peuma Hue (place of dreams in the native Mapuche language) is the incarnation of the owner’s lifelong dream. The estancia features a main lodge and three independent log homes, where most of the guest rooms are located.
Amenities & Services
Guests at Estancia Peuma Hue can enjoy the sauna, massage room, shared living rooms, a boardroom, a non-denominational chapel, an organic vegetable garden, a greenhouse, a boathouse, and stables.
The ranch guides (some human, some canine) help guests explore the mountain scenery on by hiking path, on horseback, and via kayak. The property is lined with forest and mountain trails. Guests often observe deer, woodpeckers, foxes, and owls.
Private concerts, tango classes, massages, yoga classes, and wine tastings can be arranged for an additional charge.

Dietary restrictions and preferences can be accommodated with advance notice. Premium regional wines and microbrew beers are available at an additional cost.

The Lake Bedroom located on the upper floor offers views of the lake and creek, while the Garden Bedroom is located on the ground floor and overlooks the lake and the Estancia’s vegetable garden.

The Yurts
The yurts offer a “glamping” experience. Overlooking the lake and mountains, yurts can either be furnished with a king-size bed or two twin-size beds, plus an extra bed if needed. The yurts feature wooden floors, electric and firewood heating, a deck overlooking the lake, and a private bathroom with a shower and buthtub.
