We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Howler House.
It's a perfect spot right on the river with open and enclosed decks to enjoy the location and with the majority of walls meshed airflow was divine.

We didn't have a car yet that wasn't a problem.
Erika had arranged for Andrew to pick us up at the airport and drive us to Howler House, he also included a great drive through the Bunnell Boom village pointing out the various places that served meals/food and where we could buy groceries.

Erika also has a cell phone at the Howler House, you can add minutes at the grocery stores. Plus great wireless.

We went on a few trips (Lamanai and Belize Zoo - both worth it) through the Black Orchid Resort, they know Erika and the Howler House well so it was very straight forward. We also arranged for massages at the resort and enjoyed a delicious dinner (they provided both ways shuttle too!).

We explored the Burrell Boom village - chatted with locals, had meals from: Ms Carols (evenings fried chicken and burgers / daytime chicken, rice and beans), Mr Chee's (Chinese) and Mayora's (red building), Papusa's (little building near Mr Chee's)
Got beers from Tony's.
The bikes were very helpful.
Grocery stores have very basic staples and limited fresh produce.
We bought our own granola and enjoyed the local fresh papaya and bananas!
Note: bring your own coffee and filters

We felt very comfortable and safe walking around in the dark.
Note: bring a flashlight

Definitely a great location, the tree house its cozy rustic and the photos are accurate.
