What Guests Say About Obadiah's Cabin
Real experiences from long-stay writers, international hikers, and mountain travelers.
"Three sublime months escaping the English winter..."
"Sitting with a cuppa on the balcony listening to birds sing, gazing at the farms nestled amongst towering oaks, banana and mango trees. Past crimson bougainvillea, Obadiah's farm is right next door. The house is cosy, with hot walk-in shower and good internet for remote work."

"Perfect break from the city & Mt. Kenya base"
"Obadiah Gitonga Micheu made us feel warmly welcome from the minute we arrived. The cabin was clean, quiet, and peaceful. We used it as our launchpad for trekking the Mount Kenya Chogoria route. Having hot showers and a full kitchen to cook breakfast was unbeatable."

"Responsive host, fast Wi-Fi and fresh nature"
"Obadiah was very attentive and made sure I had everything I needed. The Wi-Fi was strong enough for video calls on my laptop, and waking up to the sounds of barbets and kingfishers in the garden was truly refreshing. Will definitely be returning for a longer stay."
