This is a must visit place. I feel that they have maintained the authenticity of their food. Without being overpriced or overhyped. It can be an adventurous eat nonetheless since I was not personally familiar with the taste and ingredients.

This is one of those places where it exceeds your expectation. Even if you have googled it and saw pictures of it online, being actually there is a different story altogether. There were 5 of us and we booked the Marahuyo Cabin. This is currently...their biggest cabin which can house 6 people. These are the 3 cabins which have the best view on the ridge : Hiraya, Amihan and Marahuyo. They have a book waiting time of 3 months. Our cabin had a bedroom, a loft bedroom and a sofa bed. Toilet and shower are separated. Water heater is good. Small fridge and electric kettle is available. Wifi signal is almost nil but mobile data signal is good for Globe and Smart. The cabins do not have aircondioning as the cool mountain breeze is enough to have you put on a light jacket. Each cabin comes with its own plunge pool and ours had the biggest pool. Wish it was heated so you can still dip late at night and not freeze your gonads. In between Hiraya and Amihan cabin is a raised platform where you can take wonderful pictures with the Pantabangan lake and Sierra Madre mountains as your backdrop. This expansive view here is the creme de la creme of your stay. It's just awesome. Whether you are in the pool or having a cup of pour over coffee or having your lunch, the view is just so postcard perfect. The property is of course a farm where they grow different kinds of vegetables. You can pay a certain amount (250?) to pick the veges you like. They have an in-house restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food is relatively good, although not really special. Price is not so cheap either. You can also opt to eat outside near the town but better to do it in day time as the small road leading to the property is very rough and requires high clearance SUVs to clear it. Other places to eat outside are Hillocks Cafe, Ruby's Restaurant and if you want to splurge a bit - Soraya at Bali Highlands resort. You have to pay 800 per adult and 150 per child to enter. The 500 is consumable at the resto. Aside from eating there, you can also do some photo Ops as the place is very nice.

CONS *Guest services can be improved *Cabin inclusions can be improved like adding daily bottled water, etc. *Food prices can be improved. Ex. chicken wings platter cost 400 pesos for just 4pcs cut into 8pcs. A small plate of Caesar salad cost 300. Silog meals dro breakfast is ok at 150. (Note: You are allowed bring your own food) *Very rough road going up the property. Overall, the place and experience is very good. Definitely deserve a 2nd and 3rd trip back. *No TV fMore

Had mixed meats wrap for late breakfast. Enough for two when you order an extra wrap. Delicious cuts of marinated meats with fresh salad. Fresh brewed coffee as well and nice service.
