Listing highlights

Park for free

This is one of the few places in the area with free parking.
Welcome to our clean, well-lit and breezy guesthouse in a beautiful tropical setting not far from Cuttington University, Phebe Hospital, and Gbarnga City. We're located about 1/2 mile from Gbarnga-Phebe Highway on the quiet campus of the Gbarnga Lutheran Training Center (GLTC). A deep bore-hole well with filter and chlorination system ensures clean potable water (even for Westerners to drink right from the faucet!). 24-hour security provides personal safety and peace of mind.

The space
The Guesthouse has 3 rooms available, each with two beds. This listing is for Room 1. There are two shared bathrooms with flush toilets, showers, and tiled floors. A well-equipped kitchen has a gas cooktop (no oven), sink with running (potable) water, and basic cooking and eating utensils and supplies.

Your hosts, Amelia and Annie, can arrange additional services for you (for a small charge) including:
- meals
- laundry
- private security
- Kpelle dialect translation

Guest access
Guests have a private room with access to common areas like the living/dining room, two shared bathrooms, kitchen, and screened porch.

Other things to note
The guesthouse is located on the campus of an active elementary school, therefore, we kindly request that you do not interfere with the teachers or students during the school day. Classrooms are available for use in the evenings for meetings, small conferences, etc. (for additional fee).

Rental fees from the guesthouse will be used to help support the school operations and provide tuition scholarships to our students who live in the nearby village. Thanks for helping us educate an impoverished community.
