Rich and his family are located on a small farm with a few lodges on the property. Each is equipped with TV, bed, bathroom and air conditioner. Wifi 4G costs additional but for a very fair price. He provided breakfast for me on my two nights stay and it's very fulfilling also he offered to do my laundry which no other host in town would do that for me. I couldn't ask for more from such a great host. This Airbnb is ideal to go to the ATM cave and he can arrange for Carlos the Caveman to provide the tour. He will come to the property to pick you up with his 4x4 and give you a helmet with light attachment along with a life vest all inclusive. This is the best host in town.

What can we say, it was great! Richard, mary and of course Faith, there every so adorable daughter we're welcoming and warm. The place is so cute and just what we needed away from the city and busy streets. We had a car, so close to our excursions for ATM and caves branch. Lovely seeing the chickens out, and yes the roosters will be going in the early mornings. The studio was perfect - tv, loveseat, ac, hot water for showers, coffee maker and comfy bed. (Wifi is extra charge, but we didnt need it) Richard brought us breakfast and juice in the mornings which helped kickstart our day. If you are looking for a place in teakettle, id recommend this place.

Joseph and Marta were great hosts. The guest house is cozy and comfortable. Great value. The location suggests a car rental to better enjoy the Cayo area but most tours offers pick up and the guest house is located right at one of the pick up points for the ATM Caves. By the way, the ATM caves is a must see in Belize.

Joseph and Marta are exceptional hosts offering refreshment and great information on the area. It was a good place to come after our daily adventures and be able to make tea and use the internet. The bed was comfortable, and we slept well with air conditioning. The purified water and other little touches provided in the apartment was a very nice surprise.

Our home away from home! Josef and Marta are perfect hosts. Marta even picked us up at the bus terminal in Belmopan and brought us to the apartment. We were treated like family, and they were very helpful in guiding us to local attractions. There was cold drinking water waiting for us in our room, and a few staples like coffee and spices for cooking. Marta took us to the shops to buy our groceries before we checked in, and took us on a tour around Belmopan. We got to experience true Belizean stew beans as a gift from them! The apartment is well kept and very clean. We loved our stay here. The AC was a nice break from the heat, and the hot shower was fantastic! We loved having a refrigerator and stove, and the wifi worked very well. They invited us to share their verandah, which offered nice breezes and bird watching. We hope to have the opportunity to stay here again!

Martha and Joseph are wonderful hosts, I enjoyed my stay with them!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit with Joseph and Marta. They were very welcoming hosts. They helped us with booking a cave tubing tour....which was wonderful. The apartment was very spacious and clean. It was so nice to have a living area and complete kitchen along with our bedroom and bathroom. The bed was comfortable, the wifi worked well, there was plenty of hot water and we used their washer/dryer also. We had very secure and safe parking for our motorcycle. We would highly recommend staying here if you are in the area.

This was our second stay at Joseph's place. It is a decent price and comfortable apartment for visiting this area of Belize during the day. Thank you Joseph and Marta for welcoming us again.

Excellent space for those looking for a private getaway outside Belmopan with easy access to town. Plenty of space and option to cook your own meals in the guesthouse kitchen. Joseph and Marta are incredibly welcoming hosts!

It's hard to write exactly how wonderful this place is because I have so much love for it. Joop & Marta are incredible people - kind hearted, fun, well-traveled, hospitable, and more. I enjoyed getting to know them as well as enjoyed the wealth of knowledge about the history of the area. I could sit and chat with them for hours! As a woman traveling alone, it can be difficult and trying at times, and these two really have been the highlight of my trip. Thank you for the much needed relaxation, excitement, belonging, and perfect writing studio on the porch! I can't wait to come back and show my husband this beautiful place. Many, many thanks.

The Leslies' cabins are fantastic! Bobby is a welcoming host, and when we arrived he showed us all the amenities (which he clearly takes lots of pride in). There's a beautiful pool, outdoor shower, grill, bar, sound system--all for guests to enjoy. The cabin is one of four on the property (60 acres total) and is beautiful and very well appointed, with a king sized bed and fully equipped kitchenette (including stove, fridge, coffee maker, silverware, etc). The location is very convenient--less than 30 minutes drive west to san ignacio, ATM cave, and barton creek, and less than 30 minutes east to cave tubing and the hummingbird highway. Strongly recommend!!

We spent a week in Belize and our last 2 nights at Bobby's private getaway. Those two nights were the best I spelt and the most relaxed I was my entire trip. He is friendly, accommodating and an overall joy to be around. The property is nothing short of amazing with a private pool, luxurious cabins and views that you can't find anywhere else in Belize. Whether it be for one night or a week this is a great place for anyone planning a trip to Belize. I give a 10/10 on all fronts and only wish we could have stayed longer!

wonderful little cabin with basic necessities about 10 min away from Belmopan city! clean and comfortable bed, no ac but we did just fine with a couple standing fans they provided! property is beautiful and well kept! pool area was a great hang out spot. Bobby was definitely a wonderful host as he showed us around his property!

My wife and I spent three nights at Bobby's place last week. The lodging and grounds are top-notch, and Bobby is a fantastic host. He is also a wealth of information about places to visit and eat. The photos accurately depict how the property looks. You won't be disappointed.

This stay was great for multiple reasons. The cabin we stayed in was quaint, clean and comfortable. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous; tons of greenery, a beautiful pool space, and an awesome look out spot that is perfect for star gazing. Plus Bobby is a great host, his main saying being, "this is your home away from home." And his adorable puppies are an added fun bonus. Would 100% recommend this place to anyone.

Wonderful location so you get a true feeling for what living out in the country in Belize is really like. Totally enjoyed our stay there and would recommend it. Eating at Little Rock cafe and Teri's home cooking is a must!

The overall experience at Bobby's was wonderful. I only wish we could have stayed longer. Bobby was extremely welcoming, guided us to his property, and upon our arrival made sure we were settled and had all that we needed. He gave a tour of his property, which is lush and green and surrounded by a jungle. The property was clean, neat, and safe. The grounds included an outdoor grilling area, a beautiful pool, and an outdoor yoga area. The pool has chairs, hammocks, and a bar area, that were perfect for relaxing by in the evening. Bobby made sure we felt at home. When he showed us to our cabin, he told us this your home, and you could tell he meant it. I would highly recommend staying here.

Bobbys place was AMAZING!!...not only did he welcome us but he treated us like family. We arrived with pre planned activities but he gave us great advice and input that helped us with our decisions and our planning. I believe that we wouldn't of had the experience we did without him. The accommodations were great as well as we spent nights by the pool, bar, community kitchen, and Fire pits. There were even mornings we woke up with horses at the front of the home. The property is breathtaking as Bobby really captured the feel of living in the jungle of Belize, with beautiful wild flowers, Jungle brush that outlines the property and also palm trees and other brush and trees that just scatter the property providing shade. If you want an amazing experience i would highly recommend booking with Bobby, you won't regret it.

Richard and Peggy were such great hosts! Perfect jungle-surrounded location on the river with plentiful wildlife sightings! They were always there to answer questions and share their knowledge of the area, its flora, and fauna. I highly recommend a game of Dictionary Dabble with them if you have a free night :)

I am a word traveler and I have stayed in many hotels and airbnb's but this one definitely stands out as one of the best. The #1 reason was the host. Peggy welcomed us when we arrived and made us feel right at home. The place was actually very easy to find using the directions provided by Richard we were able to locate without GPS. The house is beautiful! The design is quite unique. The porch overlooks the river. At night, if your lucky you can feed wild kinkajous. We enjoyed our evening talking the night away with Peggy. We opted for them to provide dinner for a small fee. it was amazing! This lady can cook She even gave us home made mango ice cream which was spectacular! In the morning our breakfast included fresh cut dragonfruit, homemade cinnamon scones and an amazing scrambled eggs (Seriously amazing!) Again Peggy is a fabulous cook! We got to do some bird watching in the morning and admire the jungle views! We wish we could have stayed longer but will surely visit again! Highly recommend it!

Perfect. The location to Belmopan and hummingbird highway was exactly what we needed. The house and room were very clean, breakfast was yum with homemade bread for French toast and fresh eggs. The view and wildlife are amazing. Where else can you hand feed a kinkajou? Richard and Peggy are great hosts. They know the area very well and are helpful with suggestions. Communication is clear and prompt. Remember you are in the jungle so if you are sensitive to sounds in the morning bring ear plugs.

If I was to look up "perfect hosts" in a dictionary, it would have a picture of Richard and Peggy! From beginning to end everything was perfect. Before I even checked in, Richard gave me a very detailed and accurate directions list on how to get to his home. It was easy to use however I had GPS from my cell phone. Richard and Peggy's home is very beautiful and spacious. The bed is so comfy, awesome bathroom with views of the river below! I was able to get beautiful photos of many birds and even feed kinkajous!! My girlfriend love that part since she never seen a kinkajou in her life. Richard and Peggy also made dinner for us which was phenomenal thank you Peggy for being such a great cook. I brought a bottle of wine from home and we indulged in a great dinner and talked about our upcoming trip and Richard and Peggy gave us many tips. They were literally the perfect hosts. Richard even helped me with a tour to the ATM cave and although I had my own car rental he even drove me to the pickup point. How nice was that?!? All in all if you are looking for the best place to stay with truly amazing people, this is the spot. Richard and Peggy thank you for everything once again. I highly recommend Richard and Peggy's home and will definitely stay with them next time I am in Belize. five stars all around

To begin, our expectations for our stay in Teakettle were exceeded. Richard and Peggy went well out of their way to be accommodating to our family. Each day of our stay was started with delicious fresh-squeezed juice and fruit. They had a great knowledge of the area and its attractions and were able to help us make the most of our time. Richard even accompanied us to several of our excursions and had many personal connections with the locals that enhanced our trip. As for the house itself, it is nestled among the trees with a beautiful view of the Belize river. There is an abundance of wildlife living on the land surrounding the home. Each night we were able to hand feed bananas to kinkajous (cute raccoon/monkey- like creatures), right from the back porch. Howler monkeys and an abundance of tropical birds frequented the property. We opted to end our day with delicious home-cooked meals and board games. Overall, we had a great experience and found new friends in Richard and Peggy. If you want an authentic Belize experience, we definitely recommend booking a stay at this airbnb in Teakettle.

We had such a great time with Richard and Peggy Rasp! The house is off of a dirt road in Teakettle. The property is beautiful and backs up to a river. Unfortunately, we didn't see any kinkajous, but we did see a coatimundi running through the backyard and lots of howler monkeys. The Rasps are very kind and generous hosts. Our kids had a great time! Richard showed us around the property and even let my daughter collect fresh eggs from the chickens for breakfast. The house is very clean, but there were a few creepy crawlies, including geckos, spiders, and even a scorpion, which Richard took care of thankfully. We didn't have as much of a problem with mosquitoes as we had expected though, which was nice. Peggy is a great cook and Richard provided lots of information on things to do in the area. One of our favorite experiences was the New River/Lamanai tour, which Richard suggested. The guides were very friendly and shared a lot of interesting information, and the Mayan ruins were amazing! They provided a delicious lunch too. The house is close to Belmopan, so it's very easy to get to town should you need to. (We made a quick trip to the emergency room, which turned out to be a much better experience than we have in the U.S. sometimes.) If you're ever in the area, we would definitely recommend staying at this River Wildlife Sanctuary in the jungle of Belize.

recommended for the nature lover as the jungle is literately on your door step the animal night live is vibrant the owners has a wealth of knowledge

Peggy and Richard are the most gracious hosts we had ever come across! So friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent thanks Peggy. We really loved the nice conversations with you Richard and the adventures in the kayaks made possible by you. Our son Chayton was so happy to find a new game specialist in Peggy. The property is gorgeous. The grounds and rooms were more beautiful than expected. It is a secluded and private place. A hide away. The river view is breathtaking. In the morning you hear a bird symphony coming from the forest. The Howler Monkeys are often around so you can make an awesome experience to see and hear them. If you are a nature and animal lover this place is perfect. I highly recommend a stay, we can't wait to come back.

What a pleasant surprise Faith's Farm was for me. I was traveling Belize alone as a woman, and wanted to visit off the beaten path places. Teakettle was a halfway point between Hopkins and San Ignacio. Richard actually picked me up in Hopkins and drove me to his place an hour and a half each way. It was the most reasonable rate for transfer that I encountered in Belize. I found Richard to be very pleasant, informative, and accommodating. He has created a life on his property that is integrated with the local community, self sustaining, and serene. His wife and daughter were beautiful and friendly. His parents happened to be staying in another house on the property and we all gathered for "Tea Time" the evening I arrived. This consisted of tortillas and refried beans made with home made coconut oil. Yum!!! The cottage I stayed in was small but comfortable, and fully equipped with coffee and associated kitchen amenities. Hot breakfast was delivered to my door by Richard!! Another delicious Belizean meal. As I had trouble getting cash in Hopkins, Richard took his morning to drive me to two banks in town where I was able to have success. There was a new bike available for me to use checking out the local roads, and as I left it was super easy to catch the local bus to San Ignacio. Overall, a perfect stop that was very close to ATM Cave, with a glimpse into a life created in Teakettle Belize.

Richard was so accommodating!! He was easy to communicate with and got back to us quickly. He also picked us up from the airport and was willing to book all our tours for us.He had great suggestions. The room and A/C were great. Try the golf course. The owner is great and no crowds during the week. Only thing to take into consideration is eating.We did not have a car. There is breakfast which is super, but then you need to plan for other meals. Some meals will be included in your tours. But getting dinner needs to be planned out. There is not easy to eat location close by. Host and place is great! We could use local transportation easy from here.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Richard was a great host, helpful and friendly. He and his family took good care of us and made sure we had what we needed.

PLEASE NOTE: You will not be given directions to drive here, access is only by the river. You will have to ask people at the front desk of Dream Valley to call for you, and to reach them it may take up to an hour. So- BE PREPARED TO WAIT. If, for example you hang by the pool at Dream Valley and plan on getting back before dusk, BRING BUG SPRAY because you will likely get chewed up waiting for them to answer. I also don't suggest making a reservation to do other tours with them. You will likely be scheduled for the wrong day, be given sparse information, and then still have to keep asking about it to know for instance what time you should go. For various reasons, we cancelled our planned tour to the ATM cave. They do charge for meals, although they don't specify any of that when you show up. It is written on their site, and that is also likely my fault for not noting it, but this is our 5th stay, so it is hard to keep up with. They will randomly ask for you credit card number without being sure as to what they are charging you for. Maybe the food? I guess we'll see in a few days. Understanding you are in a jungle, the toilets are outdoor portapotties that you feed wood chips. They are supposed to turn them ever so often, but you may show up and it could still be whoever's remains from last week. Then you will have to ask them to please turn it for you. They will supply some dinky little fan for you, and you will wonder if it's a practical joke, because it is only USB powered, and the only outlets you see will be out of reach and comical to get to. If perchance you get the fan working, you'll wonder what the point of having it even is. With all of that aside, the staff is friendly. But the price here is not right for what you actually get, and may not even be right for what you THINK you are going to get. Just spend the money and stay at Dream Valley or find another place.

Awesome place. Beautiful and secluded. Incredible hostess and down to earth neighbors(if you have any). Nina let's you do whatever you want(to a reasonable extent), but will happily step in and help if you need any advice or have questions.

A little bit out of town, but it was so easy to get anywhere! Plus, it gives you a break from the hussel and bussel of town. We loved Nina, she was so accommodating and helpful. Highly recommended!!

Nina's place was absolutely incredible! Her property is gorgeous and perfectly rustic while having everything you'd need. Nina is a spectacular host who is sweet, warm, and flexible. I would absolutely recommend anyone stay there who is looking in the San Ignacio area.

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our time at Nina’s Place. It’s a super convenient location between Belmopan and San Ignacio, less than half an hour’s drive to either town. It was a great location for a visit to Tikal, which Nina kindly arranged for us. Nina is a gracious hostess of a charming place. We stayed in the Mayan cabin. It’s roomy and comfortable. There was a mini fridge stocked with waters, soda and local beer. The prices for each were very inexpensive (unlike the usually exorbitant mini-bar charges you would see at a hotel). The plumbing is outdoors. The WC and shower are less than 20 feet away. The private outdoor shower with on-demand hot water was a magical place to view the sky and stars at night. We had a delicious breakfast each morning and filling breakfast each morning. This is an extra charge but well worth it. I look forward to my next visit to Belize and the opportunity to stay here again.

We had an incredible time here. Nina took care of our excursion arrangements and transportation needs. She welcomed us with open arms. Ninas place is gorgeous, clean and peaceful. Her breakfasts are big and amazing. We would love to come back here again and would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Our stay with Nina was one of the best nights on the mainland. She was more than accommodating and the cabana was true to pictures and previous reviews. Our stay at #wolfsplacebelize was short and mellow but exactly what we needed in the middle of our trip. We started with a nap in the cabana (couldn't resist the mosquito net) followed by a pot of coffee and a beer both located just steps from our bed

Nina was an incredible host! The second we arrived she immediately made us feel as though we were part of her family. The cabana where we stayed was A DREAM. We never wanted to leave! Nina helped us coordinate our tour to the ATM caves and was able to help us rent a motorcycle to see the city by bike! I would highly recommend staying here to any travelers looking to explore the jungle!

Staying at Nina s place was an awesome experience! We loved our mayan cabana which is so lovely and quiet! Nina is an amazing woman, always open minded if you need to visit the wonderfull nature, breathless mayan sites or just talk about everything ! All the staff is really nice, rooms are cleaned every day and all the garden is perfectly kept. Spécial mention to the delicious breakfast! Thanks a lot for your kindness Nina, we already miss your place!! Bests

Nikki and Jerry are amazing hosts and we could have been happier with our stay in the Toucan Room. The A/C was a huge plus for my boyfriend and the nightly show of fire flies on the huge lawn was magical for me. :)

A super nice place! It was a real experience ! Beautiful place in the nature!

We found this amazing place because the not-so-amazing place we had booked cancelled on us. What a wonderful turn of fate! This is an ideal base for central Belize exploration; we came back to beautiful grounds, friendly people and delicious food after our days' adventures, not to mention the jetted tub, a/c, comfy bed, drinking water in the room, and wifi. There is also a beautiful river on the property and of course, the birds and the important work they're doing to protect them. I just can't recommend this place highly enough, and I can't imagine going back to Belize without staying there.

One of our favorite places in Belize! Mannie and his family took such great care of us while we were in Belmopan. The house was amazing. Clean and such a great space. We were greeted with love and the local fruit. Much love. Will be back!

Monika's warmth and hospitality shine, her little details in house and forthought left nothing to want... everything we needed was available to us.

Very helpful, incredible communication. Accurate information just make sure you know where you are heading before you set out. Pretty far from town and set back a ways from the highway so you will do quite a bit of driving as a part of your stay. Friendly host and neighbors. Lots of bugs, few amenities, but that's exactly what you're expecting from a tiny house in the middle of the jungle:)

Nice village and nice people !

It really was a cute and cozy home! I booked very last minute (the day before) and they were very kind to accommodate. If you want to feel like you're really living in the jungles- this is a great stay! There is no air conditioning, no wifi, no cell phone service and minimal lighting, but good running water and good shower pressure- more than one could ask for in the jungles! Make sure you bring your bug spray. I actually came in at night, which was a little scary driving ~3.5km on a beaten path from the main road, but it was very easy to spot from the road, even in the dark. The view in the morning was unbelievably breathtaking. The kitchenette was enough to service all of your basic needs. Andrea was great at communicating but make sure you work out all of the travel details before you go off the main road since there is no phone service to communicate once your'e there.

The reservation was canceled 72 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Karin, Mac and Julio are the best hosts, so friendly and knowledgable. If they offer you the option of home cooked food take it, it's excellent! Genuinely lovely people, the place is beautiful, even in rain, and you really feel like you've seen and done something different by visiting them. Highly recommended.

Karin and Mac are amazing hosts. Generous, informative, and friendly. Our stay with them was a huge bonus to our trip to Belize and helped us feel at home and already excited to visit again. The accommodations were beautiful, simple, and comfortable - far surpassing any local hotels, offering a true "ecotravel" experience without the hype or expense of a resort, and with the added bonus of knowing our payment goes to a great cause (Karin's charity Gringo Grands, helping local kids access education). For a little extra Karin will cook for you, which is such a treat and sharing our nightly meals added so much to our stay. And last but not least, their dogs are a delight! We loved every bit of our stay and hope to visit again.

Karin was a great hostess. She was attentive, cooked us a lovely dinner and breakfast, informative, interesting, welcoming and we had a great time staying with her. The guest house is clean, rustic and charming. It was our first night in Belize, and waking up to the sound of the jungle at Karin's house was just simply amazing. Thanks again!

I really had a great time. They were so nice and helpfull. The food was great they made me feel right at home. Hope I get the chance to go back one day

Karin and Dennis were the best hosts we could have wished for. We learned a lot from them and were truly impressed by the way they live their lives. The cabana we lived in was wonderful. It's situated in a breathtaking scenery, totally clean and decorated with much love. Breakfast and food was absolutely delicious! We will definitely try to come back to these wonderful people and the wonderful place : )

Our stay at Karin's place was fantastic. After a long travel day and waking up really early Karin was very welcoming and inviting into her home. Sitting down to talk with Karin and Mac in the evenings after a long day where Karin and Mac made delicious meals was a great treat after spending the day in the sun and exploring Belize. Karin was extremely helpful getting us to places and drawing little maps and directions for us. Karin's dogs were the most wonderful pets to have around. They were loving and friendly and Lady, a German shepherd mix, would sit on our steps in the guest house at night and greet us in the morning. It was a little bit of a culture shock being off the grid, but by the end of our stay it became second nature. The guest house was clean and having the separate and private space was nice. Julio, a friend of Karin and Mac, was a great guy to talk to and get to know as well. I would, and plan to, stay with Karin again the future.

My son and I traveled to Belize in August 2013. I wanted an authentic experience for the mainland. I got it staying with Karin! Her place is off the beaten path, which was perfect for getting off the grid. Her property is beautiful, and her neighbors are extraordinarily friendly and helpful. The house she had for us was clean and comfortable. The meals she prepared for us were delicious, and she was very accommodating. The land surrounding the houses were clear of any 'jungle', but we thoroughly enjoyed seeing, hearing, and experiencing the foliage around the property that was left native. Hearing the howler monkeys in the distance, and the immense sounds of frogs after the rains brought us back to our roots in staying close to the Earth. The resident genius, Julio, was incredibly interesting to meet. Eddie, the 'ranch hand' was super-friendly. Karin's place near Belmopan was a great launching point to make day trips to many local experiences, including Blue Hole National Park, the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest (many beautiful waterfalls), San Ignacio, Xunantunich (Mayan temple), the Belize Zoo, and cave tubing (at Blue Hole). All in all, it was a wonderful experience. My son and I would do it again without reservation. Thank you for having us Karin!
