Stone Tree Little Ceynot - Pueblo Tulum in Tulum

This romantic private home and cottage are enclosed in a high walled garden with many trees, tropical plants and the birds and butterflies that accompany this maintained natural habitat.  It is centrally located in Tulum Pueblo, in the original Maya neighborhood, a land the Chan Santa Cruz Maya have inhabited for centuries.  Be local or tourist as you like in this culturally rich and friendly place.

The Main House and Cottage can be rented separately or together. The Main House sleeps 10 and each of the Cottage Studio Units sleeps 2.    Each house and each Cottage unit is very private from the other.  Guests have come to stay at “Stone Tree” since 1985.  They have come from many countries, singles, couples, and honeymooners, groups of families and friends of all ages from all walks of life.   For a large group (max 14), you will need both houses. If you are a single person or couple, you will need only one of the guest cottage units.  No worry for privacy if you are mixed group.  Each house is very private from the other.  You can mingle with other guests if you choose but if not, you will enjoy the privacy of your home.

Main House:  With the exception of “Holiday Season”, the Main House 1st Floor only, can be rented if you are 4 or 5 people, providing kitchen/living-dining room (w/2 single beds that can form a king bed) and 1 bedroom with 1 single bed  and a double bed and a large bathroom.  On the 2nd floor are two bedrooms and a small room between them, leading to the bathroom with a small refrigerator.  Bedroom #1 has large tiled terraza with hammocks and lounge chairs, table and chairs...a great place to sunbathe and a thatch roof covered area for shade.  It also has a small balcony, king bed and closet.    Bedroom #2 has a smaller terraza, a double bed and a single bed and a wonderful varnished hardwood floor of zapote.

A stairway  from ground level leads up to Bedroom #1 and then continues on up to a flat,  cement  roof….another great spot for sunbathing, star gazing or knocking down coconuts from the tree growing alongside the house.  The 2nd floor of the Main House is very private from the 1st floor with separate outside entrances to each of the 2nd floor bedrooms.

Cottage Units:  The unit on ground level “Cottage Baja”:  is a Studio Room w/Dbl bed and kitchen at one end of room, a bathroom and closet.  The upper Cottage unit, “Cottage Alta” is same as the lower unit except it has a Queen Bed with a balcony overlooking the pool.  There is a stairway leading from ground level to a flat cement roof; great place for sunbathing etc.

It is a 4 block walk to the Main Plaza where there always seems to be some event to enjoy.   This makes it easy to pad out the door and join in the fun with the locals.      .".....the best reason to go to Mexico is the people; their gusto, their love of life.  They make everyone feel happier!"  Said Robert Reid.  I agree.

Also close by (a fresh juice stand open every morning at 7am around the corner-, taco stands, and restaurants-Mexican, Italian, French, Argentinean, Chinese, Tai, Chilean, Cuban and Mayan -all making good use of the excellent local produce, meat and fresh fish.  Across the street is a little "in-house" tienda-very convenient to buy your basics.  The cost of everything in town is much less than on the beach and the expanded choice of restaurants is a plus.

Surely Tulum and the surrounding areas have some of the most beautiful beaches, coral reefs, flora and fauna on the planet, subterranean rivers and many ancient ruins to explore.  Our neighborhood is located a block from where a dense jungle begins that separates the town from the beaches and the Maya Ruins of Tulum. There is a bike path leading from town to the beaches, a distance of about 2 miles.   Taxis are readily available and Bikes & Scooters can be rented nearby. If driving, beaches have easy access and parking.

Socorro:  My manager, "Soco", is a Mexican grandmother and will attend to all your needs and you will love her and she will make you happy!   Whether it is catering meals, babysitting, getting a taxi if you don’t want to walk out of the house, etc.  Guests continue to rave on about her. Catering:  She charges $5.00 per meal/ per person including fruit drink and she is from Mexico City and an excellent Mexican cook.

Massage:  I have recently discovered a Mayan massage man and chiropractor who will come to the house to give you an hour’s massage.  You will be amazed and kiss goodbye to some things your doctors have said were not fixable.  He can fix them.  He learned his art from his father and grandfather and charges $20.00 per session. The ancient art and wisdom of the Maya is very much alive in him.

Travel Tips:  I give every confirmed guest 10 pages of my tips on places to visit in the area and I have received many thanks from previous guests how useful this was.

Come!  We welcome you to "Stone Tree" and look forward to serving you.  For guests “......considering coming from the USA, Mexico. is a lot safer than you might realize in spite of homeland security warnings. We tend to lump all of Mexico--a country the size of Western Europe--together.  ...Yet it's in the 17 of the 31 states not named in the newly expanded warnings where you'll find the most rewarding destinations:  the Yucatan Peninsula..." excerpt from an article by Robert Reid, -Why you should go to Mexico- Robert Reid is Lonely Planet's New York based U.S. travel editor.

Air Conditioning:(See Rates)  Cost is $7.00 per day per a/c.    Each of the 3 bedrooms in Main house have a/c and each cottage unit.   You probably won't need it as both houses have very thick stone walls, high ceilings, lots of windows and ceiling fans throughout.

Pool:  It is about 9 x 12 and 3 feet at the deep end.  It has built in seating.  It has a waterfall and maintains all year round a cool temperature.  It is not a swimming pool except for youngsters.  It is a wonderful chill place for adults…a cool tub rather than a hot tub and  I find floating in it very meditative with the flowering bougainvilla with a million blossoms above accompanied by the sound of the movement of the water falling below.

Activities in the area are many.  So many exquisite white sand beaches & coral reef to explore.  Boat trips and special tours can be easily arranged.  I give all confirmed renters my list of "tips" and special discoveries and you will make new ones..  The beaches in Mexico are all public 20 meters from the shore and access is not a problem.  A 7 minute drive will take you to them.  There is a bike path to the beaches and bicycles and scooters can be rented a few blocks from the house. Nearby are taxis, main bus terminal, atm, banks, markets.  There are ball games and children are welcome to join in. dances and a cultural center with ongoing exhibits and events.  A stroll in the evening is highly recommended.  The town comes alive again at night.  Coba ruins are half hour's drive away...Chitzen Itza about 2 hr. drive from Tulum.  Many other lesser known ones half and hour or so from the house.
