🌿 A Peaceful Escape in the Heart of Fort Ternan, Kenya
Tucked away in the untouched hills of Fort Ternan, your lakefront villa awaits — a serene sanctuary where the world slows down, and peace finds you.
Wake up to golden sunrises shimmering over the lake, birdsong drifting through the trees, and crisp highland air filling your lungs. Spend lazy afternoons by the water, sip your coffee on a private veranda with breathtaking panoramic views, or take a sunset walk under a sky unspoiled by city lights.
Whether you’re looking for a romantic escape, a solo soul-refresh, or a quiet weekend with loved ones, this secluded hideaway offers more than a place to stay — it offers a chance to breathe.
✔️ Private lakefront access
✔️ Eco-conscious design and off-grid comfort
✔️ Ideal for couples, writers, photographers & nature lovers
✔️ Just 2.5 hours from Kisumu and a world away from the noise
