Thank you for allowing me this space to share my experience as a guest and appreciation of Uncle Rufu and Brother Khalil.
I can not say enough good things about Khalil and Uncle Rufu. First they are well loved and respected by MANY. When I say their names folks' light up with HUGE radiant HAPPY smiles, while saying "Uncle Rufu? I KNOW HIM." That alone SAYS alot! Well, I am adding my sentiments. Because I too share the same and more.
When I've arrived here I was a wounded sparrow, burnt out, soulfully wounded and damaged. Well, the effect of just spending a night or more alone in nature is just what I've needed to begin resetting soul and sanity. I feel more energized LITERALLY waking up to the roosters' crow. I am not a morning person. However I am one now with energy let over for my night owlish tendencies.
This man is NOT inn keeping to gain wealth. Nah, he's entered it because of his love for farming, the earth, nature and people, and it SHOWS through his actions towards me and the land. I've looked at other offers similar to his, they start out at least $50 upwards to $100+ per night without the many amenities which Khalil offers FREE of CHARGE. He doesn't have any hidden charges.
He is the epitome of what how an inn keeper should conduct oneself and their business.
He has a lifetime camper in me.
Thank you very much.
