Rare are the things that are as breathtaking as the views of the Kalinga Province. The topography of the mountain range around the Cordilleras may make it a difficult drive or climb but nevertheless, it offers a rewarding repose from our messy city lives. Here, there is supreme quiet to be had, with its share of streams, plains, indigenous communities, and the like. It also helps that we already saw JM De Guzman and Angelica Panganiban film here. If they could do it, why can't we?
Among the region's most cherished peaks is that of Mount Lilayan, where we can find this interesting cabin on the peak's literal edge. This cozy space offers a breathtaking view of the Kayakayam River. With it comes a spot away from the chaos of your own life. Just a space to breathe and decompress a little, if you will. And you can rent the place for a month if you needed to.
The cabin is an Airbnb for people who want to rediscover the Cordilleras from above (or for those who want to get away and are in search of some semblance of enlightenment in their lives). Featuring 180-degree views, this modest Kalinga house is complete with a full kitchen, grill, two bedrooms, and, 1.5 bathrooms. Of course, it has access to Wi-Fi, just in case you want to stay in touch with reality. The cabin comes with free breakfast, as well.
You almost can't see the cabin because of the lush greens up Kalinga.
The view you get to wake up to.
Sunset.
You might even be welcomed by a chicken!
You get access to this lovely outdoor space, too.

It's a "pre-colonial" reimagining of a kitchen. You can grill as you please.
