Relax... Our goal is to make you
feel at home. |
| Make yourself at home and have what you
want when you want it. We run on the honor system, so you don’t have to dig into your
pockets to pay each time you want an ice cold beer. Just mark it down on your tab and
we will settle the bill before you leave. After day hiking in the cloud forest
you can try sweating in the SAUNA - HOT TUB combination, or indulge in a home baked
chocolate brownie, banana bread or oatmeal cookies. Tea, fresh brewed coffee and purified water are
always FREE -anytime. So sip away while reading about Ecuador
in one of the many photo books on the coffee table. |

ALL meals are vegetarian.

Every Sunday at
the Black Sheep Inn we serve a special breakfast of
Pancakes & Jazz. Don’t forget to bring your
saxophone! Thick, American pancakes piled high with fresh fruit
salad, homemade sugarcane syrup, butter and jam. And always plenty of strong
steaming hot coffee while listening to Dave Brubeck, Miles Davis, Louis
Armstrong, Preservation Jazz Hall Band, Stan Getz and Ella
Fitzgerald, just to name a few of our favorites.
Yoga Studio is a great space for
meditation, relaxing, stretching, rock climbing or simply hanging in a
hammock or reading a book. |

Many declare that the best way to wake up at
the Black Sheep Inn is on the 100 meter zip line, a cable swing that launches off
the tree house. Even better than an espresso! You can also
relax before going
to bed in our Sauna - Sweat Lodge/Hot Tub combination. Black
Sheep Inn sauna is an eclectic combination of a traditional Finnish Sauna and a
Native American Indian Sweat Lodge. Some people say that the Finnish sauna is for cleaning the
body, and the Native American sweat dome for ritualistic purification. At Black
Sheep Inn both ways feel fantastic! The hot tub is first solar heated and
then kept piping hot with the same
woodstove that heats the sauna through a thermal siphon, this means
there are no pumps or electricity used, just natural hot water. |

Inside Our Sauna |
 |
The 10 acre farm is growing. We’ve got a
dog, cat,
pigs, chickens, guinea pigs (CUYS), rabbits, llamas, and of course a flock of Black Sheep! All
the animals are friendly
and love attention. The llamas are
in training
for Andean Llama Treks. The
chickens and ducks lay eggs. And the Black Sheep… We
started with a pair, and learned that two black sheep will produce adorable black
lambs. They are the most majestic looking mascots imaginable.

| The music collection at the Black Sheep Inn is diverse. Yes, we love the
Andean folk music but we don’t play it all day long. Typically we might
play Mozart or Vivaldi for Breakfast, Simon and Garfunkel in
the afternoon, and an evening mix would include the Gipsy Kings, Dave Matthews
Band, Indigo Girls, and The Beatles. We also have a book exchange, extensive
lending library, indigenous artwork and local crafts for sale. |
