We stayed at the log cabin over the Christmas holidays and it was blissful. We spent many happy days relaxing in the charming cabin and exploring the grounds around the cabin. The property is a nature lover’s paradise, we observed howler monkeys, agoutis, iguanas, and a myriad of beautiful birds and butterflies. Bruce is a fantastic host, friendly, kind and delighted to share his knowledge about the wonders of Belize. It is great too that he offers tours and airport pick-up. We were able to save money and hassles by not renting a car. While we mainly wanted to have relaxing downtime, we did want to go to Lamanai (the river tour enroute to Lamanai was as impressive as the Mayan ruins) and the Crooked Tree bird sanctuary. Bruce arranged the tours and took care of all the logistics. I highly recommend discussing with Bruce what you’d like to see and experience in Belize - he truly wants his guests to thoroughly enjoy Belize and has the local knowledge to enhance your experience. Definitely rent the bikes – it was fun to ride into town and take a howler monkey nature walk. Try to visit Shane’s monkey reserve – the folks are really nice and there are gorgeous wood carvings made by family members for sale in the gift shop. Follow the advice of other reviewers and bring some coffee/tea with you and various foodstuffs, Bruce will however take you to a grocery store upon arrival. Things to try – Belikin beer – the wonderful beer of Belize, brown molasses (?) bread, plantain chips, local tortillas. Two culinary bonuses -the Mennonite family that lives nearby sells fresh milk, cheese, ice cream and butter, and Gertie, a neighbor prepares tasty Belizean meals – we had Gertie’s breakfast and dinner one day and wished we’d bought more of them. The log cabin is a lovely place to stay and Bruce is so welcoming and sincere. We returned home feeling happy and rejuvenated, a great way to start off the new year. Thank you Bruce – we hope to return to Belize soon!
