About the host
Hosted by Nicholas Zetts
A man of the earth who wants to share this property and show others what is possible on a small piece of land. Currently I live in Southern California where I manage a vineyard and farm and I return every year to work the land and build, until I can stay and run the agritourism bed&breakfast. This is a life project where I will incorporate my passions and interests. I am raising high quality food and produce that will heal the body and is in balance with the land. I'm an advocate for food and social issues and my gift to the world is the healing of the land via land stewardship and supplying healthy delicious food to guests.
I want to share this unique property and community to the world.
Why they chose this property
I arrived in Cahuasqui in 2006 as a Peace Corps volunteer working in the sustainable agriculture program. I lived and worked with the community of Cahusaqui and I fell in love with the people and countryside. What started out as a small vision of a small cabin and piece of land has blossomed into a bigger project with more outreach. I'm happy to say we have three beautiful custom built cabins, a small yoga studio, beautiful gardens, llamas, more animals, and incredible views! The next and biggest project will be the farm-to-table restaurant. I feel fortunate that I was sent to Cahuasqui as a volunteer and I feel even more blessed that I am now a steward of land and a member of the community and a place that provides good employment.
What makes this property unique
Tranquility, Community, Fresh Air, Clean Water. These are the four pillars which attracted me to Cahuasqui and to invest in this small rural farming community.
We welcome you to our authentic working farm in the heart of Ecuador, where tranquility, nature, and genuine rural life come together. Relax in our exquisite boutique yoga studio for eight, crafted from sustainable wood, river stone, and glass, and adorned with custom ceramic lamps by a celebrated Cuenca artist. Practice with breathtaking Andean views and llamas grazing at your feet. Soak in natural hot springs, wake up to exotic birdsong, and explore the outdoors through guided hiking and mountain climbing.
