A popular yet uncrowded Mountain Lake Resort

Mountain Lake Resort: Where nature meets adventure.

For those who like fun-filled activities like obstacle courses and nature games, I have just the perfect place - the popular yet uncrowded destination, Mountain Lake Resort. Situated at the famous Caliraya Lake, it ranks as the go-to resort of Cavinti, Laguna. Surrounded by the body of water, this 300-hectare getaway makes you rethink all the activities you have in mind after seeing all the things you can do - be it extreme or chill. This is a place where you can go back to the domain of life, and to contemplate and relax while you enjoy an exciting adventure with nature.

Floating boathouse

The floating boathouse I spent my night with.

My rustic boathouse.

To experience a totally different stay, I chose to spend my night in a floating boathouse. The rustic boathouse resembled a typical recreational summer house, afloat on the lake and made with reclaimed materials: bunches of dried cogon grass, covered with a green net on the roof, planks of bamboos and nipas inside and outside the wall; and blocks of solid woods in the floor. The room was modest, colored in brown and exquisitely decorated in a classic Pinoy style. The air was fresh and cool inside the room as I welcomed the vibe of living simply in a bahay-kubo.

The toilet, located outside the boathouse, is also made of reclaimed materials.

The bed, built from bamboo and queen-sized, made good my choice to linger in the boathouse for someone like me who, for almost a quarter of my life, has spent living in the jungle city. I slept so soundly (literally and figuratively), feeling at ease and comfortable in resting here for the first time. More often than not, being away from my comfort zone results in shallow, broken sleep. But not here. I had a good, wakeless sleep in the boathouse.
