The space
Our cabin is a unique, tree level, 3 story hand crafted cabin in the middle of the cloud forest with great attention to detail and remarkable views of the forested mountains. Enjoy the well appointed and comfort driven interior and our incredible, private location. You will hear the songs of birds and crickets and the soft rush of the River, without the barking dogs, car alarms and loud music of town.

The ground floor has an beautiful open air kitchen with a dining table, surrounded by lovely gardens. Here is the enclosed shower and the first of two toilets. You can enjoy our hand made adult "swings".

The second story holds the bedroom with high end mattress, beautiful organic linens and a charming half bath. The large windows open wide to bring in the views and mountain breezes.

On the 3rd story is the kitchenette and lounge area. There is a kettle/coffee maker. Enjoy a few of the excellent local restaurants within walking distance and many restaurants in town 3k away. There is a comfortable convertible sofa that turns into a single bed. The cabin is for 2 adults only, no infants, no children. Relax on the 3rd story balcony and take in the breathtaking views. You can sip some excellent local coffee and watch the birds flitting in the trees at eye level.

If you are a nature lover or bird watcher, you will be thrilled. Our property is at the end of the road, surrounded by miles of forest inside the 1700 sq Kil UNESCO Protected Biosphere. There just aren’t many places like this left in the world and a rarity even in Mindo.

I'm an American, living in Ecuador since 2011. I'm a life long nature enthusiast, Vegan and Yoga Teacher. I'm very interested in Natural Living. You will be staying in my very private, very special. hand crafted guest cabin. Its fantastic with lots of personal touches and care. You will feel right at home. Some folks rent for a week and use the cabin as a personal “retreat”, taking yoga classes, hike and getting massages...treat yourself.
