We offer a wonderful get-away for families, "COVID-bubbles" of friends, and professionals who are looking for a place to decompress during this challenging time. If you work remotely, this is a perfect place to relax for a week (or more!) until things normalize. Family-friendly, sweet country home 5 minutes from the town center. An abundance of songbirds, native plants, and garden space on a two-acre retreat in a small, quiet neighborhood. Make an inquiry to discuss an offer that works for you! The space A truly unique and hidden 2-acre paradise in the high mountain coffee and spice lands of Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. Delight in the abundance of orchids, songbirds (more recent bird count on the property - 137!), and the sounds, smells, and lush landscape of Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. Enjoy the starry nights next to the outdoor fire pit. Small, sweet, and safe country home and guest house that sleeps up to 8-9 (3 bedrooms), two bathrooms, plus a back-up latrine. Room on the property for pitching tents, or to set up extra cots for larger groups. Separate home office available for long-term renters. Fire-burning stove in the house for cold winter months. Rainwater catchment system gravity feeds into the house with back-up municipal water. Back-up generator if electricity fails. The seasonal garden provides an abundance of fresh salad greens, kale, and herbs. Potential for the chicken flocks to be restored for long-term renters. Full kitchen (includes pots & pans, coffee maker, microwave, toaster, blender, juicer, crockpot, among many other amenities), washer and dryer, cable TV, and CD player. WIFI is available. The property is completely fenced, safe, and secure, making it an excellent place for children, and there are two dogs (gentle with kids, but excellent guard dogs) on-premise for extra security. Fees include caretaker/garden support from Nelson. Cooking, daily cleaning, laundry services, and childcare can be arranged at extra cost, with the owners' long-time and much-loved household manager, Juanita (Nelson's wife). Nelson can serve as a driver on nearby adventures (you can negotiate the fee with him directly). Long-term renters (over one month) will assume the costs of water, electricity, cable, and internet. We are on the outskirts of Coban (5-minute drive, 20-minute walk) to access shopping, restaurants, and public transportation. Safe and trusted taxis available upon request. Ideal place for families or small groups to hunker down and explore the wonder of Semuc Champey, the crystalline waters of Laguna Lachua, or spelunking and tubing adventures of Chisec, or for groups in town for Coban Marathon, Rabin Ajau, and Semana Santa. Fabulous birding in the region - we can link you with birding tours. 6 hours from Tikal and Cancuen Maya ruins. Spanish language schools are available in Coban. Also an ideal place for artists and writers looking for an affordable retreat, and development professionals who seek a more homey base when on their weeks-long field visits. Please read our client reviews to appreciate what we offer! Guest access Short-term guests will have access to full outdoor space and the main and / or back house, depending on size of group. Long-term guests will also be granted use of the home office. Please ask Juanita or Nelson for laundry services support. Other things to note The first guest is $50 / night, and additional guests are $20 / night / person. There are discounts for longer term stays. Depending on the reservation request we can consider a change to these fees....reach out to discuss a deal! Security is an issue in Guatemala, and we have worked to make our property safe and secure. We know of no other place in Coban that offers such a beautiful and extensive area that is also truly secure AND offers complete privacy. This is also an ideal property for guests to decompress during COVID, with extensive outdoor areas to enjoy with family and friends.
