Beautiful Cottage in Rio Dulce Forest Farm

A rustic Rock and Wood Cottage built as a Guest House for family and friends, located on top of a hill with a view on the surrounding plantations and forest a refreshing breeze in the afternoons. The Cottage was built with ecological criteria and is powered by solar panels, the water provided comes from a spring in the higher part of the forest. The house is well appointed and kept very clean usually prepped for guests a day in advance we provide enough food for several breakfasts including coffe or tea, yoghurt, fruits, toast and butter, orange juice, bottled drinking water and more.
Both upstairs bedrooms are equipped with matrimonial beds with their respective mosquito nets, old farm style furniture and plenty books to read. A shared bathroom with shower separates the bedrooms, each has a veranda with french windows and a view.
Downstairs large open spaces hold a kitchen with gas stove, fridge, breakfast table for four and all usual kitchen utensils, blender, french press, etc. A large set of comfy sofas surround a coffee table in the other part of the downstairs and both areas open through french doors to a corridor for hammocks with another small table and chairs to enjoy the birds in the mornings and afternoon.
A second bathroom with a shower is located below the steps in a central rock and wood structure which also forms the steps out of log wood for the second storie.
The Cottage is located on the Hacienda Tijax Farm which is only a mile away from the Rio Dulce Bridge and road to Tikal. Guests also have access to the Hacienda Tijax Hotel and Marina which has a bar, restaurant, swimming pool and all the usual amenities of a small hotel. Boat trips and information are available there for many activities available to our guests like kayak and horse tours as well as nature hikes.
A natural spring pool is only a hundred yards away to cool off on hot days and for those who enjoy hiking and bird watching the lookout tower is only a 10 minute hike from the house.
Please note that this cottage is located on the edges of a plantation and a forest reserve, it for those who love nature but are also not afraid of other creatures. It is ideal for a retreat, quiet relaxation and observation of nature. Here it the tropical jungle it often rains and there are bugs. If you are just interested in passing through and avoiding discomforts perhaps you should stay in a hotel. For those rainy days we have a back up generator and books!
