The Monkey Pedestal was great. It is remote and isolated. The village of Isabella Bank has officially around 300 people but we only encountered like about 10 in 2 days. Make sure you rent the bicycles. We never met Adrienne. He sent Vivi Anne to pick us up with the shuttle for a fare. Viví Anne was very nice but we found that she did not know the answers for all our questions. She kept referring us to Adrienne. The is a local cell phone in the house to communicate with him. He was very patient with us and our indecision about the trips. We ended up doing the trips on our own and touring with the bikes.
We told Adrienne about a beeping smoke detector that we had to disconnect because it had no battery and never heard back about that issue and if there was a first aid kit since we needed a band aid. Given the remoteness of the location those issues should be addressed. Apart from that we enjoyed very much our stay and our time there.
