About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Tzikin Jaay (Birds House)

The house is open concept. Built with wood, stone, clay and metal. With views and access to Lake Atitlan. Garden with edible and medicinal plants. Basic equipped A kitchen, dining room, a bedroom, bathroom, and much more.

The house is located on the "farm road", a few minutes from the pier where the boats go to Santiago Atitlan. It is about 10 minutes walk from the main restaurants and bar area, and 10 minutes from the hill to downtown San Pedro. Because the house is far from the party area it is nice and quiet, but it is easy to reach from the center on foot or by tuk-tuk.

We loved this place
The place is very nice. Built with natural materials - stone/wood/ceramic/metal - it has a nice feeling. It's clean, and the location is great - there are a lot of trees on the lot, so constant birdsong. It's away from the road, so very tranquil. It's easy to get into town by walking or tuc tuc - you can walk along the lake to the Santiago dock, then you have to take the streets. It's a couple of hundred feet from the lake. Martin is very friendly and everything was easy. The stairs are quite steep, which wasn't a problem for us, but consider that if you have trouble with stairs. Thanks Martin!

The property was great. It is a 15 minute walk from the downtown area and 10 minutes from the market. It has a well stocked kitchen. The upstairs gets extremely hot during the day and extremely cold at night. I wish there was a way to regulate this. Lots of dogs barking at night

A work of art. Excellent for Body Mind and Spirit. Always a feeling of being welcome.
The inherent sense of Equinimity within the house has a healing therapeutic quality.. Juan presents a picture of the kindness, sensitive careing, understanding and kindness. His words are always impeccable, his responsively always reliable, his support and assistance always there. His son follows in his footsteps. He is also pragmatic flexible and sensirtive. He seems to want you to be in a state of well being and satisfaction. The house presents a harmonious simplicity of a balanced equilibrium. It is well equipped for the comforts of the guest and is totally unpretentious. Una experiencia inolvidable. Es estupenda que La gente Guatemalteca Siempre esten disponible para comunicación. Les gustan compartir experiencias y ideas. Es maravilloso que tengas la oportunidad a vivir entre vecinas Mayas. The night lights from the towns and villages across Lake Atitlan sinks deeply within the depths of your experience. Soothing to Body Mind and Spirit.

Lovely way to be in touch with nature while walking to downtown.
Juan and his son did an amazing job building this house. You will definitely experience the birds that live in the trees around the property and gorgeous views of the lake. With downtown a mere 10-15 minute walk away, Tzikin Jaay is a perfect spot to stay with a family. We loved it and will be back for sure!!! Thank you Juan
