Description
Our well equipped, wooden cabin in the treetops of the Rainforest is just Two hundred yards from the main road in a developing area. However it has a remote and isolated feel on the edge of the World Heritage Site Morne Trois Pitons in the Volcanic island of Dominica .With parrots and hummingbirds as visitors and a rainwater plunge pool 20 feet above ground, this accommodation is ideally placed on the Waitikubuli Hiking Trail. There is WiFi to stay in touch and groceries can be bought from the corner shop or bought from Roseau. Pineapple Crossing is next door if your group is more than 6-8. A rental 4X4 Jeep can take you to many unusual attractions within an hours drive turtles laying and hatching, hot springs, rushing rivers and waterfalls, Organic Farm tours, Birdwatching for the Parrots only found in Dominica, Diving and snorkeling, whale watching and visiting the Kalinago Indian Basket weavers to see their traditional dances.

“Amazing rainforest location, a little slice of heaven for a couple or entire family”

Response from the owner We were horrified to hear that the insect life of the rainforest were "infesting our house" however thankfully none have appeared since these clients left. The tank is now filled and the house in action with our next visitors who love it. Repairs in the rainforest do take longer than in more developed places. We offered these guests our other house and they chose to risk waiting for the plumbing repair and enjoy the swimming pool. We see our guests as potential friends and always try to explain the trials of living with nature in the rainforest providing what we can in terms of support in person and over the internet. Even though we do not live on site, we do have a neighbour on call who visited these folks several times but did not meet them during their two day stay. "We are sorry you had a trying last two nights in Dominica."

Response from the owner YOu are right a 4X4 is the best option althoguh we strongly suggest people get a taxi from the airport or ferry and then have the car rental firm bring a vehicle the next day. They will also pick you up and take you to the airport if asked.

Response from the owner We did enjoy having you and seeing you fall in love with our forest home. Thankfully the building next door is done now and the shabby shed gone.We have improved the parking and now have a dedicated water heater for the pool.Next door at Pineapple Crossing there is a hot tub so spa treatment can be negotiated. One of our neighbors has started delivering meals too. Come back soon.

Response from the owner These visitors were ideal for our cottage and we enjoyed the day out on the sea with them in my husbands fishing boat. We plan to plant bamboo and hummingbird attracting vegetation between us and the neighbour at the back and keep our forest ambiance. Now we have bought the land in front of us we are planning a walk bordered with more indigenous plants to encourage the birds and butterflies to come closer. The parrots are rather shy but can usually be heard and seen flying over mid afternoon. We are planting oranges to attract them to come and feed in full view of the balcony.

Response from the owner We are very sorry that you were not able to enjoy the pool. It is now fixed and working ok. The showers and tap filters are also changed and should be fine. The intrusion was not a break in and will not happen without warning again. We welcome the feedback especially if the neighbours builders are a problem. We expect them to do most of their work whilst people are out, but it is a nuscience and we thank our guests for their tolerance.
