[PLEASE NO EXCHANGES WITH EUROPE or AUSTRALIA. Thank you! We are in a spectacular natural setting. The bungalows are all made of coconut wood, bamboo and thatch and fine woods. There are four rooms enclosed in glass with attached jungle shower bathrooms for three of them. The four rooms open on to a large wooden deck with coral trees. There are 2 dining tables and chairs and lounge chairs on the deck. The vista from this deck is fantastic! Views of Mount Agung on clear days, expansive rice fields and river gorge below. There are natural springs on the property and and lush waterfalls. A river walk which leads to a plunge pool - naturally spring fed. The plunge pool sits opposite some waterfalls above the river. We have a helpful staff: a manager, 2 housekeepers, a cook, a gardener, a driver, a maintenance person and security staff. Our assistant can arrange your outings, tours, or help with any information you need, etc. They provide wonderful service. Kitchen staff have trained them in healthy food preparation (incl raw). We are known for our excellent and unique food. Much of it comes from our organic gardens. We are located a few of kilometers from the Ubud town center, renowned for its spas, restaurants, hotels, markets, craftspeople, musical and dance performances, artisans of all sorts, etc. You can bike to the town center through the sacred monkey forest.

A larger house is on the one hectare (about 2 1/2 acre) property across from these.

High speed Internet.

No smoking and no pets (cats, dogs). We love then, but my daughter is allergic. We have a watch dog on the premises in a large fenced area, but he does not come near the houses.

For the exchange we ask that a housekeeper be available at least sometimes as we provide full service housekeeping.

PLEASE NO EXCHANGES WITH EUROPE or AUSTRALIA. Thank you! Our places are available for rent though. We are in the hamlet of Jukut Paku next to Nyuh Kuning which is at the base of the sacred Monkey Forest. Only a short bike ride to the Monkey Forest in the heart of Ubud with its shops, spas, restaurants, markets, etc. Ubud is known as the cultural center of Bali. Full of artisans - masks, jewelry, wood, clothing, traditional musicians and dancers. We are close to everything. There are many spas nearby as well as 5 star hotels. There are many rafting adventure companies for great river rafting nearby. They will pick you up, take you rafting, incl lunch and bring you back. Many things to do for children also that are not too far away: Bird park, Zoo, Waterbom Water Park, Safari Park, Elephant ride Park, etc.

Roundtrip airfares from Los Angeles or San Francisco usually begin at around $1000.US but usually a bit higher. The airport to fly into is Denpasar (DPS) which is approximately 1 hour to Ubud and our house.

PLEASE NO EXCHANGES WITH EUROPE or AUSTRALIA. Thank you! Our place is also available for rent. We wish to have long stays in New York City and/or DC - from 2 weeks to 6 months to visit family. We also love to visit Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

We are a family of five. My husband, Dan, is an inventor, computer software engineer and avid bird watcher! I (Michelle) am a writer and founder of the International Peace Project which began in Santa Barbara, California. Our daughter (Sage) is 18 and our twin boys (Muhammad and Bamba) are 10 years old. We are very conscientious to take care of other peoples property and keep it clean and tidy. We love adventure and are very peaceful, responsible and conscientious of our surroundings. We love to have cultural exchange.

My daughter (who does not always travel with us) is allergic to cats and we are sensitive to dog hairs, so generally can not be in a house with indoor cats or dogs. Thanks!
