Description
Once called T-rex House, Little Eden is a far more appropriate name for this tiny slice of paradise. The friendly owner, Pen, is a registered tour guide, and her English and German are excellent. With an eye for design and simple, stunning detail, Little Eden is in very good condition with a lovely feel to it. Small wooden A-frames are a little overpriced for a simple room with bathroom, but are by far the loveliest in town in this category. Larger more expensive rooms are beautifully done, ranging in size from tiny double rooms with en suite, to family rooms in whole houses with a TV and VCD player. A clear blue swimming pool holds centre place, while a big wooden sala at the back of the garden allows guests to sit and look out over the river. They have all number of services that are not offered in the rest of the town, from internet to massage, overseas calls to hilltribe handicrafts, day tours and trekking services to maps and information. They also plan to make a small bridge over the river so visitors have direct access to the adjacent forest wilderness.

Guest feedback
Simply comfy -

We stayed in the smaller room attached to the honeymoon suite. It was simply gorgeous with stone walls and wooden window shutters. It was very clean although I'm pretty sure I got some bed bug bites there. Pen is super nice and the first person who gave us directions to hike independently instead of charging us for her guiding services. That said, she was extremely busy over the holiday season, and it was quite the wait for meals etc. Having said that, her food was worth the wait as there was not much else in Soppong!
Still, we stayed 3 or 4 nights and really had a fantastic time exploring the hills and caves and met a lot of friendly locals.
Simple yes, comfy no -

We can only comment on the bungalows, which are set chockablock in a single row, but found them cramped, stuffy, and with some very uncomfortable and worn mattresses. Toilets were clean, but small, with a hand-dip flush toilet. The small pool created a nice scene, but the grounds were sort of small and the bungalows were too small and hot to relax in. Agree with the reviewer that they were overpriced, but not bad for something in a village as small as Sappong.
