Eco Cabin in remote Caribbean Woodlands

The cottage is Caribbean style, its walls covered in wooden shingles, with shuttered windows and a large open deck. It is tucked away in a remote and wooded valley. It is a short walk from the car parking area to the cabin - a narrow path covered in bamboo leaves. There is a patio area with an outside table and a BBQ. The kitchen is open sided, birds flying through! There is everything you would need from espresso coffee maker to knife sharpener! The pots and pans hang on the wall.
The cabin is totally eco and is powered with solar energy, the sockets are 110v USA with a 1000 watt inverter. All the water is rain water. The shower is open. The bedroom is large with windows on 3 sides. The door on the 4th side leads Narnia like through the wardrobe to the kitchen and shower. From the netted four poster bed, you look through balcony and garden to the hills covered in lemon grass. There are comfy chairs and a hammock on the balcony, perfect for a lounge with a book (there is a selection) and a glass of two! The cottage has a garden and teak lounge chairs for you to watch the stars or sunbathe... Although we are in this quiet and hidden valley it is only a rather lovely short drive down Fig Tree Drive to the nearest beach at Carlisle Bay. Beyond Carlisle Bay are some of the best beaches in Antigua laid out before you along the West Coast, the side with the Caribbean sea.
The cabin features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and a coffee maker.

Louise was really kind. She was extremely helpful and even purchased chairs that we could take to the beach. Accommodation was great and we had everything we needed. She provided a hummingbird feeder so we were able to entice hummingbirds onto the porch for a feed. Absolutely loved seeing their beautiful colours. Overall really great.

Great experience in a lovely location.

What a fantastic place to stay, if you are wanting to get away from it all then Tranquil Farm lives up to its name. We spent a week in this lovely cabin surrounded by the sounds of the woodlands. The accommodation is really comfortable and beautifully furnished and has a really homely feel to it, the owners have really made an effort and we loved it.

You are immersed in the forest and wildlife a Louise’s Tranquil Farm and it has so much charm. We loved our stay.We hindsight we should have hired a jeep to get to faraday, as the roads were challenging in our little Toyota.Louise was a perfect host, making us some homemade goodies and a bottle of wine to enhance our stay.

Perfect peaceful cabin

The location requires a car, 4x4 ideally, but once you find it it’s a wonderful peaceful place with all the amenities you need. There was even a bottle of wine and some food to see us through the first night. The cabin is ideal for people that want out of the hustle and bustle and want to relax in nature, with the dogs, chickens and birds making a regular appearance. Highly recommend a visit!

Splendid Isolation

Had an absolutely wonderful stay at Tranquil Farm with Louise. She is a superb and gracious hostess and the property was even more perfect than I had imagined. You'll want a 4x4 (as you will anywhere in Antigua), otherwise, it's a totally self-contained paradise. Can't wait to come back. Thank you, Louise!

What we needed!

Louise's place is absolutely AMAZING! My partner and I had the best time. We did absolutely nothing but enjoyed the scenery, the sounds of the ducks, chickens and birds. Sleeping with the windows opened and we especially loved the view of the sunrise from the bed. It didn't hurt having a few friendly visit from Chloe🐶 and Bash 🐶either. After a busy year, this was exactly what we needed "TO RELAX". Thank you Louise! We will be back!

If you love Nature, you will love Eco Cabin

Everything, but the bedroom is outdoors which is exactly what I expected. If you are looking for a location in the heart of a town you will be disappointed. But if you love birds on the handrail while you sit on the porch having coffee, mongoose running thru the trees 20 ft. away, and nature I can not think of any better location. Louise is a great host. And my wife, who is a accomplished baker states that het homemade bread is the best that she has ever eaten!

What an amazing experience…..

To start, Louise is a lovely host and makes you feel so welcome. The Eco Cabin is just what we expected, one with nature. You soon adjust to all of the forest noises that lull you to sleep. It’s so relaxing sitting on the terrace listening to the birds during the day and the crickets and frogs at night. Nature is all around you and you’re reminded of this constantly in the most amazing ways. This is a must to experience and we ll definitely be going back again. Thank you Louise.

Beautiful cabin surrounded by nature

We had a wonderful stay. The cabin is as charming as the photos and has even more special touches than we knew about. Old-fashioned kitchen implements, lovely food in the refrigerator, charcoal crayons and paper, chickens, birds, and two endearing canine ambassadors who adopted us. We especially loved the open-air kitchen, dining area, and shower surrounded by lush trees and a mini-rain forest. Martin, who took care of us, could not have been more gracious, helpful and enlightening about the island. We had a storm one day that kept us at home, and it was the best day of the vacation. Only one piece of advice - consider renting a car with four-wheel drive, maybe a SUV that's higher off the road because the roads are rocky.

Idyllic cabin in the woods

If your childhood had memories of a summer cabin with the sound of frogs, crickets, creaking trees and a cool breeze singing you to sleep at night you’ll love this cabin. It’s a bit rustic but with lots of comforts and a big front porch with comfy chairs for taking it all in. Our favorite stay of 5 during our extended visit. But you must love animals - friendly dogs and chickens. Louise makes you feel right at home from a welcoming meal to thick bathrobes. The outside shower is a treat. Put Sawcolts Methodist Church in your GPS to make it easy to find. It’s just a minute or two from there. Book it!

Favorite accommodation in the Caribbean

We have been to several Caribbean islands, and Louise's cabin in the woods is by far our favorite place we have stayed. It is more charming than the posted images, if that is possible. Louise couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful. While a 4-wheel drive is a necessity and the location is off the beaten track, it is well worth the extra effort to find this little piece of heaven. It is a destination itself--great local walks (with or without her very friendly and well-behaved dogs) and a chance to see a part of the island most visitors don't. The outdoor shower feels very private and has the best hot water. The flush toilet, electric lights, and gas-powered refrigerator all make you forget how eco it really is. While somewhat out-of-the-way, the cabin is closer to most of the island's more interesting attractions than is, for example, Dickenson Bay, where we had previously stayed. Don't miss Wallings Dam and walking to the top of the hill for a view of Guadaloupe and Montserrat. And Rendezvous Bay Beach is lovely (although, as remote as it is by car--again 4-wheel drive is necessary!--people boat over from Falmouth Harbour and English Bay, so don't expect to be alone). I miss Louise and the dogs and the birds and the cabin and the woods and the entire experience. I want to go back!

A great novel

Words may just not be enough to convey our extraordinary experience at this beautifully and sustainably designed cabin nestled in the lush green hills of the island. Louise has built a wonderful homestead that truly escapes time and brings you to a place that feels like the setting of a great adventure novel with all supporting characters present, including a couple of friendly and playful dogs, chickens supplying your first mornings eggs, roosters waking you to enjoy breakfast with the birds and morning light on the porch, and the duck that occasionally laughs (at you?) in the distance. Louise also knows how to make her guests feel right at home, is available if needed, though leaves you to enjoy the surroundings completely at your own leisure. We were even welcomed with quality provisions in the fridge upon arrival. Such a well thought place must be accompanied by a thoughtful host after all! The location is a great launching point to explore the island, particularly the more remote and breathtaking southwest, the closest beach being a short drive through the rainforest down Fig Tree Drive at Carlisle Bay with water so clear that spear fishers are out on a calm day. On top of that, a beach outing is made that much more comfortable with amenities available as though you're at home. I could write a book about Louise's place, but I'm running up on the word limit and because you can actually go and experience it yourself, I highly recommend just that!

Beautiful Cottage off the Grid

This Eco Cabin is completely off the grid, from both a power source and location. Electricity and hot water are solar powered. The kitchen is equipped with refrigerator and new gas stove/oven. Coffee is brewed with a Bialetti espresso pot so if you want to bring your own you could travel with a small electric maker (US plugs) and use outlets in the large bedroom on a desk or out on the covered porch where the lamp is plugged in. The bedroom is nicely appointed with a comfortable bed with mosquito netting, screens on windows, desk, chairs and ample storage space. There is a large selection of books and oil pastels to get creative with. The outdoor shower is large and really nice and has an adjoining toilet room with sink. The covered porch has a dining table and several chairs to read and relax. The large Lasko floor fan can be moved around for your comfort. There is an effective mosquito capture drum and I don't think I got any bites during my three night stay. You just need to cover up before dusk and early morning. The cabin is in the woods and there is nobody around other than the owner, ducks, chickens and roosters, and the owner's two dog friendly security patrol. It is about 10-15 minutes off Fig Tree Drive and probably 30 mins to Jolly Harbor and 30 mins to Falmouth Harbor Antigua Yacht Club area. Even though I had a very small Kia rental, I was able to get in and out, even after heavy rains. If you want to checkout and check-in to nature this is the place for you.

Why stay elsewhere?

While searching for a place to stay during our trip to Antigua, I had several criteria in mind. I'd like to list them and explain how Tranquil Farm met the criteria, revealed new criteria we hadn't thought of, and exceeded our expectations. We needed to get away from everything! The property offers seclusion without being frustratingly difficult to reach. The central location is ideal for people looking to explore the island. The driveway is really fun to traverse, just make sure you rent a vehicle with some ground clearance! We wanted peace and a certain kind of quiet! The property is in the rainforest, so quiet nights aren't really an option. However, the noises we sought to and did in fact hear (frogs insects and birds) in the candlelight will put you in a trance while you lie in the four poster under the mosquito netting with the windows up and balancing a cold rum punch on your belly. We wanted simplicity! Tranquil Farm is completely "off the grid" and can be as primitive as you want it to be. The cottage has lots of windows and the climate is so perfect that air con isn't necessary. There's a continer of fresh water and a charcoal brazier for cooking. There are also lots of candles and kerosene lamps. Not feeling so primitive? There's solar powered LED lighting, a fan, a radio, bedside lamps, wifi, two sinks, a real toilet, well stocked fridge (fed two for nearly a week) and very hot water in the outdoor shower. The one thing we didn't expect was The owner herself. One of our fondest memories of the trip was getting to know her. We spent hours on our day of departure chatting and drinking delicious coffee. She met our every need as guests and more. She's extremely interesting and has a lot to offer in the way of Caribbean travel advice. If you're going to Antigua, do yourself a favor and stay at Tranquil Farm. During the long flight home you'll enrapture your fellow passengers with the adventures you're likely to have had in choosing the type of trip travelers who'll find Tranquil Farm appealing. If you want an interesting trip, please make this your home base. The only thing you'll regret is having to leave!
