We felt absolutely welcomed at the Howler House!

Erika was a fantastic host, arranging a ride from the airport, then meeting us a the house to give us a quick run down. She has the handiest little hand-drawn map of the village which is not only quaint but super helpful. We also loved reading her detailed notes of ideas and places to go as well as others comments and suggestions :)

The house is fabulous and is like one huge screened in porch in the best possible way. You are literally floating in the trees with the breeze and gorgeous river views - at perfect viewing level to see all kinds of wildlife! We loved seeing and hearing the crocodiles, iguanas, lizards, monkeys, and all kinds of birds...

The nearby village town of Burrell Boom gives the perfect glimpse of small town life that would not have been possible had we stayed on an island, in a hotel, or resort. We took the short bike ride into town daily for drinks, groceries, and small meals. We also borrowed the pool at the Black Orchid and they were absolutely accommodating as advertised..

Andrew gave us a ride to the water taxi so we could spend the day at Caye Caulker and it was the perfect getaway and super easy!

We also enjoyed canoeing the river...
