I love to go off-grid when traveling, to be in the middle of nature, and to meet interesting people. Howler house ticks all those boxes! Communication with Kenny and Shanna was easy, and they took such good care of us, setting up a trip to the Belize zoo (exceeded expectations), a cave tubing adventure, and a zip-lining adventure. The positive experiences started when their staff picked us up from the airport and took us to a roadside stand for delicious rice, beans and stew chicken.
Howler house is spacious, with a wraparound porch that looks out over the river. There is also a screened porch with a comfy couch and a hammock. When we were not out on an adventure, we swung in the hammocks at the house, with breezes from the many fans in the house. One afternoon, we were amazed to observe playful howler monkeys swinging from a nearby tree.
The kitchen is well-equipped (including with drinking water), and there is pretty tile-work in the bathroom.
One evening, Kenny drove us to nearby Black Orchid, where we had delicious ceviche for dinner.
Kenny and Shanna are special, kind friends, and I hope to see them again at Howler House!
