About the host
Hosted by Laarni
Sunrise House was built by Dennis and Ellen Freed from Big Timber, Montana.
Why they chose this property
Denny and Ellen searched for over a year to find the perfect location with sweeping views of the hills overlooking Loboc River and the Bohol Sea. We have numerous coconut, mango, cocoa, papaya, avocado trees, and banana plants. We enjoy cool nights, gentle breezes and escape from the noise and hustle of the city, and the Sunrise House is the perfect place to do just that!
Out of all my travels, I have never been to a place where the people there will bend over backward just to make you feel at home, even if you have never met them before. It is such a hospitable land and I have never even had so much as a sour look from anyone in 20 years. Perfect for vacation and family time.
