My husband and I were traveling with our cat and really enjoyed staying in Joe’s loft. It was a unique pleasure for people like us who don’t get to retreat into nature often. There were plenty of sights to see nearby during the day and we returned in the evening to relax in the cool breeze and fall asleep to the sounds of the forest. The garden was amazing—breadfruit, vanilla vines, bananas, fragrant flowers! We only stayed a day so we didn’t get to ask more about the property, but it appeared that Joe is a very skilled craftsman and has created a completely self sustaining little ecosystem.
