In 1999, the Krauskopf family immigrated from Mt. Shasta in northern California

to the shores of. Lake Arenal and started the Restaurant "Caballo Negro", a restaurant featuring both hearty German fare and organic vegetarian specialties.
Then in 2000, what began as an effort to finance the rescue of a single dog grew into the well-known Lucky Bug Gallery. The profits from the unique and whimsical tropical art done by the talented Krauskopf triplets triplets - Alexandra, Katheryn and Sabrina - are used to support animal rescue, adoption and welfare. Since then, the gallery has expanded to include artwork and artistic furnishings done by the entire family and the work of talented Costa Rican artisans. Donations also are made to Costa Rica’s Children’s Hospital in addition to those used for animal rescue, adoption and animal population control.
Finally in 2005 the Lucky Bug B& B was opened. It is a charming four-room boutique “inn” tucked into the rain forest and decorated with art and handcrafts from the gallery. Since its opening it has become a popular place to stay on the shores of Lake Arenal.
The Restaurant Caballo Negro, the Lucky Bug Gallery and the Lucky Bug B&B together form an oasis to nurture both body and soul. Find that special treasure to take home as a souvenir, take a break for a terrific meal or snack, or spend the night in the enchanting B&B. You will be a “Lucky Bug” indeed for stopping at this delightful spot!
