We have 8 treehouses/huts (top and bottom peacock, screen hut, elmo’s treehouse, bamboo treehouse, honeymoon treehouse, pool hut, and the dragons lair) and a two story bunk house called the corral on top and the palapa on bottom. The bunk house and all of the treehouses have power with the exception of the screen hut and the dragon’s lair, although each of those have plenty of candles for evening light. Each of the peacock rooms have 3 single beds. The screen hut and elmo’s treehouse each have a double bed that comfortablly sleeps two. The bamboo and pool hut also each have one double bed as well as one thick foam mattress that will sleep one more. The honeymoon and dragon’s lair each have queen beds, while the honeymoon has 4 extra foam mattresses making it perfect for families or small groups that want to be together.
We have 3 outdoor showers with steaming hot water. These showers drain directly onto the forest floor, so we ask all of our guests to use the Dr. Bronner’s Organic Soaps that we provide for a more ecologically sound showering experience.
We offer food storage space in a communal area that includes a refrigerator/freezer as well as a full kitchen that you are welcome to use anytime that we’re not cooking dinner. We also provide a grand array of spices, herbs, and teas, as well as organic fairtrade coffee each morning.
We strive to live as ecologically sustainable as possible by encouraging conservation of electricity, minimal water usage of our local well, recycling 80%+ of our refuse, and using the saw dust composting toilet method designed by Joseph Jenkins in the Humanure Handbook. Unfortunatly, we are not well adapted for handicap accessibility due to rough forest trails, stairs, and our rustic environment. But if you are adventurous, we will make every possible effort to accomodate any special needs.
But please, if you reserve a room, you must call the day before to confirm your reservation, otherwise please cancel as soon as you are aware of the need to do so. Contact the Hostel at 912.264.9738. There have been an abundance of no-shows lately, and it impacts othes that would like to visit.
