Where the air changes
The road climbs out of Malaybalay and the air changes. By the time you reach the ridge, the valley below has filled with cloud, and the noise of the city is an hour behind you.
The view, most mornings
Misty mornings on the ridge, slow afternoons by the pool, and cottages tucked under the treeline.
The road up
Getting here
About an hour from the city, most of it uphill. Give the road note a quick read before you set out.

About the road
The last stretch is rough road with a river crossing. A pickup or an SUV is much easier, though a low car manages in dry weather if it is driven slowly. After heavy rain the crossing can rise fast, so call us before you set out rather than turning around at the water.
- 1
Start from Malaybalay City proper and head for Barangay Kibalabag, west of the city, following the Kibalabag road up out of the valley.
- 2
Keep climbing. The sealed surface gives way to gravel and packed earth on the upper stretches, and the last section includes a river crossing.
- 3
Allow about an hour from the city, and more after rain. There is no fuel and little cell signal past the last barangay, so fill up and send any message you need to send before you leave town.
- 4
Call us when you set out. We will tell you what the crossing is like that day and meet you if the road has moved.

It gets cold after dark at this height. Bring a jacket, a flashlight, and anything you cannot buy on the mountain. There is no store past the last barangay.
Drive west out of Malaybalay City toward Barangay Kibalabag and keep climbing. Allow about an hour. The sealed road gives way to gravel and packed earth on the upper stretches, and there is a river crossing near the end. Fill up in town: there is no fuel past the last barangay. Call us the morning you travel and we will tell you what the crossing is like that day. If you would rather not drive it yourself, we run a shuttle for ₱3,000 round trip, and habal-habal is ₱300 for two passengers per ride.
Rough for the last part, and a regular car manages it in dry weather if you take it slowly. The lower stretches out of Malaybalay are sealed; the upper ones are gravel and packed earth, and there is a river crossing close to the property. A pickup or an SUV is the easier drive by a wide margin. After heavy rain the last section is difficult without high clearance and the crossing can rise, so call us before you set out rather than after. Off-site parking is ₱100 a night if you would rather leave the car below.
Warm layers, a flashlight, and shoes you do not mind getting muddy. Kibalabag sits at roughly 1,300 meters, and it gets genuinely cold after dark, which is the one thing guests underpack for. The cottages provide mattresses or beds, blankets and pillows; the ones with private bathrooms also provide towels, and Barkadahan Cottage Uno has kitchen utensils if you want to cook. If you are tent camping you bring your own tent, sleeping equipment and cooking utensils.
Do not count on it. Signal thins out badly on the road above the last barangay, so send anything urgent before you leave Malaybalay and tell whoever is expecting you that you may go quiet. Which networks reach the property itself has not been confirmed in writing, so message us before you travel and we will tell you what to expect.
Ask us before you book if you need to charge or run equipment. Power at the property (mains, generator, hours it is on) is not settled in writing yet, and a guess here is the kind that leaves somebody with a flat phone on a mountain. Bring a power bank either way.
Not at the moment. None of the accommodations is set up to take animals, so the booking form will not let you add a pet. If you need to bring one, message us before you book rather than on the day.
