Guests/owners enjoy a breathtaking view of the tree canopy resplendent with dozens of bird species that provide hours of bird watching pleasure.

The approximate half-acre on which the house sits is enclosed by a 5 ft. cyclone fence set in concrete footing, with both a single person gate and a double car/truck access gate.
The Macal River gravel beach is accessible via a concrete stairway from the Main House. The Main House and bulk of the property are situated well above the flood plain, and totally safe from any rise in river levels during rainy season.
