Holiday houses in Northern Forest Reserve

Good location near Portsmouth, very responsive host with clear instructions on how to find the place Clean home and quiet environment I recommend

I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The space was not only beautiful but thoughtfully and intentionally designed; every detail contributed to a relaxing and comfortable experience. It’s clear that the host put a lot of care into creating a welcoming environment. Highly recommended and would definitely stay again!

This rustic riverside cottage was the perfect blend of charm, comfort, and convenience. Tucked away in nature but only 10 minutes from the airport, it made our departure incredibly stress-free—without sacrificing the peaceful, off-the-grid vibe we were craving. The cottage is simple and rustic in the best way—clean, cozy, and full of character. The real highlight is the river just steps away, it felt like having a private natural pool right outside our door.

They did a great job accommodating a relatively last-minute reservation. The house is just over a hill from the construction site for the new airport, so even though it's close you don't have any noise or ugly views. There are some restaurants/bars 10-15 minutes to the West in/near Calibishie. The best beach on the island (Batibou) is also close. However, other major sites are 45+ minutes away. It's a very quiet corner of Dominica.

What a gem. Top air bnb stay for me. Stunning beauty, surrounded by nature with sounds images cannot depict. The house itself, is so creatively and solidly made. Close to lots of local attractions (falls/hikes/hots springs) and the capital Roseau is a short drive down the hill. I stayed in 4 different locations in Dominica and this was my favorite. A perfect place to meditate and connect with the earth. There seemed to be a magic in the air here as I was in sync with nature and everything seemed to just fall into place. Hard to explain- but if you are going to Dominica and even considering staying her. Do yourself the favor and stay here. Even though I did not get a chance to meet the hosts (I was only there 2 nights), they were communicative and directions/instructions were easy to follow. When I return to Dominica, I will return to this heavenly retreat!

We loved our stay at Monlights! It's the perfect place to stay in Dominica. The location is up in the mountains surrounded by trees, flowers, and birds with amazing views of the ocean and rainforest and its only a quick drive from the town of Portsmouth, that has lots of restaurants. We enjoyed taking easy day trips from the house to explore the island and the pool was a great amenity to use after a long day of exploring. The AC in the bedrooms worked really well and the smart TV with Netflix was perfect for movie nights. If we find ourselves back in Dominica, we would definitely choose to stay here again.

OMG…where to start? Isha was one of the best host I’ve encountered. With all my travels there has been only one other person I would say that about. As soon as I walked into the place I felt at home! It was so beautiful. So nicely decorated. Usually I feel the need to clean or at least spray lysol, but not there. The whole place was spotless. And matched the pictures perfectly! It was so quiet and peaceful there. The mattress was so comfortable. I used the local bus to get there and it was very easy to find. The checkin instructions were the best I’ve ever gotten, so easy to get in. There is a very nice restaurant and market, within 1-2 minutes walk. I didn’t walk to the beach because I did a day tour, but I understand there is a nice one within a short walk. If I find I need a stay in Calibishie, this is where I will be staying.

Connie and Lorenzo were very nice and gracious hosts, even made sure our rental car situation was all squared away! Beautiful home and view, it was just amazing waking up to such beauty every morning. It was also a fantastic location up out of Portsmouth but close enough to get there so easily if you need anything or for some good dinner. If you are ok with a bug here and there, you won’t regret staying here!
