We went to Baguio last November 26-28 and we stayed in this little haven called Camp Riverside 2600 Tiny House Lofts located in Purok 02, Ambayao Road, Barangay Irisan.We had an EXCELLENT experience and you'll see why when you read through this post. I've included plenty of pictures to document our relaxing and enjoyable experience during our stay.
Props to Kuya Anjo and Kuya Arnie for making us feel so welcome!
To start off, let's begin with a general location and description of Camp Riverside 2600. It is about 20 minutes (7 KMs) from Burnham Park (as a landmark for the City Center). It's accessible via the Naguilian Road but you'll have a short drive along a narrow street to get to the place. If you have Waze installed, then you won't have a problem getting to it.
We weren't really concerned with the time or the distance to the City Center because you only need to travel once or twice from the place especially if you plan your itinerary well enough. We preferred being able to rest peacefully once we get "home" and that is exactly what we got - the peace and quiet and general environment was really conducive to rest and relaxation. We stayed near the City Center before and we were a little affected by the energy or the frenzy of the City so it wasn't as restful, unlike during this trip...
The Tiny House was exactly that. Each house/cabin can accommodate a maximum of 4 people. It has one toilet and bath; a kitchen with a gas stove, rice cooker, electric kettle, plates, cups, utensils, dishwashing soap and sponge; a small refrigerator; dining table and benches, a bed with pullout on the ground floor and 2 double beds in the loft. There's also a television set with some cable reception. WIFI is available but it becomes weak the farther you are from the Cafe.

This is the Kitchen area. They're actually facing each other or on opposite sides of the floor.
The loft has this huge bed or more accurately 2 huge beds put together. There's also a Japanese center table and two reclining leather seats.

These are some of the dishes we had for lunch during our first day there. Everything was delicious and though Dylan ordered Quesadillas he wanted more of the Pesto. He actually ordered Pesto the next time we ate here :) Prices are also commensurate for what you're getting :)

As part of their exemplary service, we also got treated to a bonfire which the kids enjoyed. They watched how they prepared the fire and it was quite an experience :)
Speaking of service, I gave them 5/5 stars because Kuya Anjo and Kuya Arnie treated us tremendously well. They always had a smile and a welcoming greeting whenever we saw them. They offered complimentary breakfast for 2 because there was an unscheduled power outage from 9AM to 5PM on our 2nd Day. It wasn't a big deal for us because we were spending the day in the City during that time so we weren't really affected by it but the treat was very much appreciated.
They also allowed us to check out their new and soon-to-open Bontoc Mansion, an extension area for Camp Riverside.

Our 3-Day stay at Camp Riverside 2600 was like a home away from home. There is no question that when we come back to Baguio, we'll stay here again. The price was also attractive. We booked our cabin for P2,000/night when they had their promo, but the regular rate is P2,500. It's really affordable, because you have all the amenities that you need and you can even cook for yourself!
Thank you Kuya Anjo (in the pic with us) for making our stay so comfortable and relaxing! :)
