Have you ever thought of escaping the busy city life and taking refuge in a house close to nature? You know, where trees are abundant, birds are chirping, the sound of the gushing river is music to the ears. Well, this place might be for you.

Location
Buda Vista Vacation House is located along BUDA (Bukidnon-Davao) Road in the southern part of the Philippines. To get there, you can rent a van with friends and drive along the Bukidnon-Davao road. You could also go to the Davao City Overland Transport Terminal and ride the bus bound for Cagayan for 90 PHP or 2 USD. The trip runs for approximately 3 hours.
Facilities and Amenities
It stands as a 3-storey vacation house. The house is mainly made of wood complemented with huge glasses which completes its modern architecture with a touch of country feel. The owners haven’t used the house for a while so they have it rented to travelers. They have caretakers that welcome guests and make sure that their needs are being attended to. A parking area is also available. It looks like 3 cars can fit in it.
At first, it just looks like it is made up of 2 floors. Because it is located on a slope, you’ll find another floor when you go around.
Upon entering the front porch, you’ll be greeted with a beautiful living area. It has a huge sofa set adjacent to the mini balcony, overlooking beautiful mountains, and another sofa set made of wood, facing the TV. They have cable, so don’t worry about missing your shows! On this floor, you can also find separate rooms for toilet and shower. A small room for sleeping can be found here as well.
Upstairs is the attic. It is being divided by curtains in two – one for a sleeping quarter and another one for an oriental-themed coffee area. Huge windows were installed, so you can view the lovely scene outside. You can also get a good view of the neighboring resort which is also beautiful.
The ground floor is composed of the entertainment and dining areas. They have a pool table and karaoke. Outside, you can find a dirty kitchen where you can grill your favorite steak. Another set of toilet and shower room with heater can be accessed in this area. They also have a microwave and microwave-friendly utensils.
There is also a viewing deck where you can hang out with friends while looking at the beautiful nature around you.
If you go down further, you’ll find their infinity pool surrounded with beautiful plants.
The house is also adorned with beautiful ornaments.
Reminders
Pack up a nice sweater to keep you warm. Mountains can be very cold.
Bring insect repellents. Nature has uninvited guests.

To be honest, I thought this was somewhere in Laguna or Tagaytay. Then I saw that this was in Bukidnon-Davao area, I got sad. It was so far from where I am right now. But, I saw the idea of saving up for it so when we travel to Mindanao, we can book that place and stay there. It’s very relaxing because of the greenery. Anyone who’s super stressed can find peace there.

It’s great to take a break and be surrounded with nature. I myself love this kind of stay. The place was also cool with all the rustic theme on it. However, being a mom, I don’t think it is practical for me to stay in a 6k place in one night. Though I must admit that the price equates to the amenities and the place itself.
