We offer a place to stay. You can stay for a night or longer.
We can also accommodate groups for team-building activities or meetings.
During your stay, walk around the forest. Discover and learn about Philippine native trees.
Look up, but be quiet, and you might just see a bird or two.
Appreciate the wild plants and flowers.
Breathe in the mountain air. Meander in the mountain mists.
Dip in our creek.
Wake up to the chirping of the birds.
Drink our mountain grown organic coffee.
Cook in our open kitchen (or in the indoor kitchen if you prefer). Use our clay oven (pugon) to cook pizza or roast meat. We also have a grill ready for you.
Have a bonfire at night when the weather permits. Have a bottle of wine. The fireflies might just decide to keep you company.
In the summer, the cicadas will sing for you at dusk.
But you don't have to go around. You may choose to simply chill, read a good book (we have books that you can borrow), and sleep.
The I.N.G. Guest House
Modern Bahay na Bato
Our bahay na bato (Filipino for stone house) is made primarily of stones (sourced in situ) on the lower ground and wood on the upper ground. We used only recycled wood (some more than a century old).
We tried to be as faithful as possible to the traditional features of a bahay na bato. The thick stone walls on the lower ground keep the house temperature cool. On the upper ground, there is cross-ventilation with windows all round and air vents at the top (calado) and below (ventanillas). We do not have airconditioning for ecological and other reasons.
Our bahay na bato can accommodate eight people.
STAY IN A TENT
We have tents and sleeping bags for those who want to experience sleeping amidst the sounds of nature.
Explore the Sierra Madre on a mountain bike
Ili ni Gaia is located at the boundary of Laguna and Quezon provinces. Hop on one of our mountain bikes and explore places nearby through the Sierra Madre mountains. The scenic route is popular among mountain bikers.
