About this property

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.

Excellent
After the last few years this property was exactly what our spirits needed. A beautifully located property away from it all but only 20 minutes from everything. The dogs would ch to in daily and added to the joy this place creates. Louise is so wonderful. Hope to be able to visit again. A must stay when wanting a non resort vacation to Antigua.

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!

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Louise Sandiford

Host profile image
I am from England originally, but have been living in the Caribbean for 30+ years.
I run a Production Service Company which assists film makers and photograhers who come into the Caribbean Region. I live at Tranquil Farm with dogs, ducks and chickens! I love to garden, I love to read. I enjoy the quiet and peace of my surroundings.

Why they chose this property

There are not many places that are this peaceful - if one car passes down the road during the day, its unusual. The sound of the birds and the leaves in the trees are the most prominent sounds - along the odd squeaks of the bamboo groaning in the wind and sounding like an old sailing ship!
Actually I should add a bit about the local wildlife noises - the odd donkey and at night the crickets and tree frogs take over.

What makes this property unique

Tranquil Farm has always had this name, the farmhouse is about 100 years old now - and the name still fits it perfectly. The farm house and cottage sit on a small hill inside a bigger valley. The view down the valley is over the top of mango trees and across the valley at the surrounding hills covered in lemon grass.

I first saw the house when looking for a location for filming, it was love at first sight - a small wooden farm house hidden in a circle of trees.It was unique then, and even more so now. I have lived here now for 22 years, and I still love it. It is very rare now to find a place that is so quiet and where nature seems to seep through the doors, or rather fly through the window!
