Forest House Bed and Breakfast

We all know Forest House, that quaint and charming restaurant on the way to Camp John Hay. Forest House has been recognized as one of the best restaurants in Baguio for years now, and recently, I discovered that they offered more than just their great food.




For those who have not yet been to the Forest House Cafe, it's really one of the best dining spots in Baguio. Its terrace is now bigger, while the interiors remain as charming and as cozy as before. It can get full during lunch and dinner so make sure you arrive early or reserve.


As we were headed out after lunch, we noticed a staircase going down. We were led to this wooden door. Curious, we entered and discovered the bed and breakfast.


It was like going through a house in gingerbread land. The mood was very relaxing and playful in a way. We wanted to explore more of the place.


There was actually another dining area if the space above gets full. I like this part the most, because it's very private. The receptionist told us that this area is used usually for functions and small seminars. 


Opposite the dining area is a living space, where I guests can have a perfect cup of coffee. I imagine friends and families playing board games or just simply hanging out here.


Now for the rooms. Forest House Inn is of course a boutique property, so they only have 4 rooms I think, named after the children of the owners. Each cabin is different, so you get to choose which suits you best.


I forgot the name of the room, but I call it the Green Door (obviously). It has two double sized beds. Despite the old feel of the room, it was one of the coziest nooks I have slept on. And since it was cold and damp in Baguio that day, staying in bed all day was pure bliss.


There was also the Red Door beside, but it was occupied, so I wasn't able to view it. I guess this room had a better view since it faced a wider space.


All in all, my stay in the Forest House Inn was short lived. Too short lived that I wasn't able to enjoy it that much. But I promised myself to come back to enjoy the coffee, order food every 3 hours and finally finish my book here.

Us-Usan Island: Guimaras

Image
After having a pleasant lunch in Nagarao, we decided to hire a boat to explore the surrounding islands of Nagarao. There was this one island that the staff recommended, Us-usan Island. As soon as I saw a strip of sand glistening from a distance, I knew we were in for a treat. Us-usan Island. The water wasn't as clear though as in Nagarao and in most of Guimaras. The sand bar jutting out of the island seemed like a catwalk on the sea. This provided a nice swimming area for the island's visitors as well. We began to explore the island, hoping to circle it in less than an hour. The island has a narrow shoreline, probably because it was high tide. There were also foliage all around, so it was quite a struggle going around. We were treated though with amazing views of the sea. This tree was alone and offshore for around 100 meters. It was quite strange to see a single tree in full bloom in the middle of the sea. After 15 minutes of walking, we arrived at a mangrove area. There were

Nagarao Island: Guimaras

Idyllic Guimaras Island is a 15 minute ferry ride from the port of Ortiz in Iloilo. And with flights to Iloilo being one of the cheapest in the country, a trip to Guimaras is your best bet for a budget escape. I already featured Alibuhod Beach in a previous entry. Now, let me take you further to the eastern coast, facing Negros Island. It takes a grueling hour and a half via tricycle to get to Nagarao Island Resort. From its jump off point on the mainland of Guimaras, it takes around 20 minutes to get to this island escape. The resort arranges the boat for you, so you just have to worry how to get to their port. For first time Guimaras visitors, once you dock at the Jordan port, just hire a multicab or a tricycle or even a single motorbike to get around Guimaras. It will cost you P200 for a motorbike (habal-habal), P400 for a tricycle and P800 for a multicab. So it really depends on how big your group is. If you're alone, the habal-habal would be best. Now, back to Nagarao. We app
