Description
Hello everyone, we are a local family living in Silk Grass, Belize. Our dream is to meet travellers from all over the the world and learn from each other. I (Rose) live together with my husband Vincent and our 3 daughters and 1 son. We have many animals such as ducks, chickens, dogs, rabbits, sheep and cats. We would love to welcome you in our family and give you an authentic Belizian experience!
We have a big plot of land which we would love to turn into a farm and a homestay. That way we could provide for ourselves after working for a boss for so many years. We would love to work together and get to know you! On this land, there are also multiple cabins where our children live, but they are in need of a renovation. We want to build some more cabins as guest houses for tourists to stay in and would love someone handy to give us some help. We would also love to develop a camping site for travelers to relax on their journey. We love to help people and create a place where everyone is welcome.
If you are interested, write us a message and we can get in contact :)

You can sleep in a cabin or a room in our house. It is basic, but cosy. We will make your stay here as comfortable as possible and want to make you feel as you are a part of our family when you stay here! You will have acces to our house and can use our laundry machine and (cold) shower when you like. We will cook some local meals for you. There is a good internet connection as well.
We are located in Silk Grass. There are beautiful Nature Reserves nearby, like Cockscomb, Silk Grass Wildlife Reserve the Maya Mountains and Mayflower Bocawina where you can see amazing nature.
