A Note About Nature - Because you’re close to the forest, you may see harmless insects—part of the natural ecosystem here. We provide a clean, sanitized space between every stay and respect both guest comfort and the local environment. We also have essential oils and cotton if you want to rub across the window sill as this will help reduce mini-ants coming to visit. Even scorpions are not dangerous here, so we try to remember that they too serve an important purpose in our eco-system.
Your Stay, Your Way - We’re happy to offer personalized local tips—or give you complete privacy for a self-guided stay. Whether you’re traveling as a family or with friends, our home offers the perfect blend of comfort, calm, and connection to nature.
