Vacation Rental Description

This romantic private home is enclosed in a high walled garden with 
many trees and a sit-float pool with a waterfall. It is located in 
Tulum Pueblo, a short five minute drive from the powdery white sand 
beaches and the famous Tulum Ruins by the sea; in the original ancient 
maya neighborhood of Tulum; a place the Chan Santa Cruz Maya have 
inhabited for centuries.  Be local or tourist as you like in this 
culturally rich and friendly place. Within easy walking distance are 
transportation,restaurants, shops, fiestas, bank with ATM, Ball Games 
(kids are welcome to join in), dances, live theatre and a Circus 
sometimes.Tulum has a variety of ever changing activities to choose 
from.  A stroll in the evenings is highly recommended, the town comes 
alive atnight and the bird songs are exquisite!  The beach is 
separated from the village by dense jungle and is not walkable without 
a guide but an easy drive or bikes can be rented to take you to the 
beaches with easy access and parking.  
 
There are two houses on the property, a Main House and a Cottage. The 
Main House has 2 separate bedrooms, a large bathroom and a main room 
consisting of a kitchen, dining and living area with 2 "day beds" 
single beds where 2 more guests can sleep. Maximum 6 people. It has a 
lovely balcony overlooking the garden on the second floor. The Cottage 
has 2 units.  One is below near the pool the the other is above 
overlooking the pool. Each "Cottage Unit" is a large room with a 
kitchen area at one end; a large locking closet, a bathroom and a 
double bed and a single fold down couch for a maximum of 3 people in 
each Cottage unit. Main House and Cottage can be rented separately or 
together depending on size of your group and availability. The small 
sit/float pool and front patio garden area are shared by all guests.  
The Main House has it's own private garden in back part of property. 
   
Maya neighbors did all the construction of stone, fine hardwoods and 
tile; a reminder of where you are.  The style...of the houses..well, I 
call it "accidental architecture", the end result of an on-going 
collaboration between various local builders and a gringa (me). First 
2 houses were built and were destroyed by hurricane Roxane 13 years 
ago.  Only floors remained.  Ouch! These re-constructions are 
hurricane proof as they come is the hope.  They appear ageless and 
without definable style of solid stone.  When I am there guests often 
ask what part of this place was here when you started, assuming they 
were built a long time ago. I continue to enjoy and rediscover this  
place on each visit.  There is a comfy hard to explain atmosphere here 
in this garden and in these houses.  I find much comfort, and 
inspiration is here. The houses are an interesting blend 
of ancient and modern and have all the comforts of home and not too 
many; just enough.  A great place to bring a group of friends or 
family and also for one travelling alone, very safe and many honeymoon 
couples have stayed and my maid loves doing special preparations for 
them!  It is a wonderful spot to enjoy the unique privacy of a home in 
a Maya village in Mexico and to dip into the tourist scene if and when 
desired. 
Both houses have very high ceilings,thick stone walls, ceiling and  
floor fans throughout and this along with all the trees, creates a  
very cool atmosphere indoors and in the gardens. The Cottage Units 
each have A/Cfor hotter months.  Unlike the Main House, it has no 
large trees shading it or thatch on the roof. The pool is a lovely 
spot to sink into after excursions or to just plain chill out with a 
cold drink, float and watch the hummingbirds, lay in a hammock and 
read a bood and children love the pool of course! 
 
 
Testimonials: 
 
….Tulum feels alive.  So many good restaurants, very cheap.   
Delicious sweet pineapples, $4.usd at home…here $1.50 or less.   
Incredible! We also found our way to the pastry shop and ended up  
trying one of almost everything.  I guess it wasn't a good idea to go  
there after diving all day but we certainly enjoyed our dessert  
brownies and pastries the next morning, by the pool, were quite a  
treat.  We ate at several of the places you mentioned and also  
discovered a couple on our own.  The food was inexpensive and quite  
tasty and the casual atmosphere (shorts, tshirt, barefoot accepted)  
sure made it easy to go anywhere for a great meal. Coqueta (cat) was  
the perfect hostess.  We were able to do 6 cenote dives and 4 ocean  
dives and I must say diving the cenotes was quite an adventure --  
very different from diving in the ocean.  Tulum is bursting with  
color!  The beaches were beautiful and it seemed as if everything was  
in bloom -- so unlike things in Indiana.  We spent a day a Tankah  
Caleta and it was truly one of the most relaxing days of my life.  We  
got there fairly early in the morning so we had the place to  
ourselves until early afternoon.  It was so nice having a week where  
I only had to worry about finding a shady palm tree to lay under; one  
that would provide plenty of sun for an afternoon nap.    It was a  
fantastic vacation!  I'm really glad I did the web search and found  
your house. The house is beautiful and so very comfortable.  It is  
easy to relax and wind down.  Lots of wonderful memories and time  
well spent with my family.  Peg Main House March 2005 
 
This was our first trip to Tulum and we feel really lucky to have  
found your place.  Your insights & advice about the great spots & not  
so great ones was a huge help in making this a great experience.  We  
absolutely love your place and everything you have done with it.

….we were starting to fanaticize that we’d never have to leave.  We  
could live here easy.  Everything we need is close by.  The  
townspeople are so kind and beautiful. There’s so much here to do and  
see and be. Thank you Donna for being our host.  Do you rent by the  
year?  Tira & Patrick  Cot. March 2005 
 
We enjoyed your lovely house.  The courtyard and gardens are  
perfect.  We spent hours here.  The beaches are the prettiest we’ve  
ever seen….Kathleen & family, Main House March 2005 
 
Heartfelt thanks for sharing your little piece of paradise.  The  
garden and sitting pool provided a peaceful reprieve.  We had so much  
fun going out to eat and dancing at the local bars and restaurants.   
Thanks so much for the good tips and helpful information.  I only  
wish that we could stay longer.  Dan and  Patricia-Cottage April 2005 
 
…What a fantastic house.  Our 4 Yr. Old spent the first 2 days in the  
pond/pool.  Binda & Richard, Main April 2005 
 
…The Casa was mucho bonita.  We love the cat and will miss her.  Our  
time in Tulum has been magic.  Thank you.  Jason, Lauren Daniel &  
Hart, Main House May 2005 
 
Thanks so much for your hospitality and providing this wonderful  
house.  Masumi is especially thankful for your advice on how to cure  
her poison tree infection with the natural antidote ; the tree bark  
your friends found for her.  We enjoyed the shady garden with your  
beautiful landscaping and I enjoyed every moment to talk to you.   
Thanks. 
Jergen & Masumi, Main House May 2005 
 
"We returned Tuesday after almost three weeks in Mexico.  We had a  
great time exploring the Yucatan, and our stay at your house was  
wonderful.  After living in very close quarters for most of the trip,  
the whole family really enjoyed being able to spread out a bit.  Our  
15 year old daughter loved the loft bedroom and pronounced the bed up  
there as the most comfortable on our trip.  Our 10 year old son  
quickily made friends with the cat and he was fascinated by the  
cenote.  I spent a lot of time reading in the courtyard and enjoying  
your lovely garden.  The fountain is the perfect touch.  We loved  
Tulum and found the beaches to be the most beautiful of the many we  
visited on this trip.  We really enjoyed exploring the town, and  
especially enjoyed the lively atmosphere on Saturday night.  Thank  
you for sharing your lovely house with us.  We hope to visit again  
someday.  Best Regards, Kathleen"(Family of 4-Main House March 2005) 
 
"We very much enjoyed staying in Tulum and I would rent your house  
again.  I liked being in town, a real town.  I think it was very good  
first experience for my niece...authentic Mexican rather than mega- 
resort.  Complete with Mama Pig and 6 piglets on one back street...It  
was wonderful, went too fast, and I'm ready to go back.  I'm an ESL  
teacher and it definitely rekindled my desire to teach in Mexico.   
Gracias para la casa!  Lynn"

Activities and Attractions

Activities   There are many and if you stay at “StoneTree”, I will  
give you a list of my special discoveries and you will find new  
ones!  The beaches in Mexico are all public 20 meters from the shore,  
so access is not a problem.  If there is a resort on them you may  
need to pay a dollar if you wish to use a beach chair or cabana on a  
resort beach. Buy a drink or a dinner and they will be well pleased  
by your visit.  I love going to the beach and coming home to 24 hour  
electricity, no sand in my bed or on my floor and the rooster crowing 
to wake me up next door; my frig. etc., a home and a place to rest 
from the immense energy of the sea and sand and to enjoy the community 
of the village.   I like seeing the variety of flora and fauna in the 
garden and village that thrive in the less intense atmosphere.  
Ceynot’s dot the area all around Tulum and there are many 
to explore; a must do. The cool crystal clear fresh water is lovely 
for swimming, snorkeling or cave driving. They were formed by a meteor 
which hit the earth near Merida…the one thatcaused the extermination 
of the dinosaurs and there are many of them.  Some in caves with 
stalactites and stalagmites.   
Maya Ruin sites are also abundant.  To name a few; Tulum (5 min.),  
Coba (30 min drive, Xhel Ha( 20 min.), Chitzen Itza (1 Hr.)  Fishing  
and boat trips for snorkeling on the reef.  Guided trips can be  
arranged by my manager if you choose.   Chetumal has a terrific  
museum and many more ruin sites (2.5 Hr.) More to do there  
also.  I continue to find the newly discovered ruins and ceynots  
after 18 years.  Come!  You will not be disappointed and if you  
choose my place to stay.  We welcome you and put forth our best  
efforts to share with you and make your stay one in keeping with the  
comfort level we enjoy and to share with you this place with  
respect for those who are natives to the area.
