Visit Bohol and Stay with the Schmocker Family

I stumbled on the website of the Schmocker Family and found their website very interesting for two reasons: 1, It linked to www.boholweb.com as the Travel and Tours link and 2, their bed and breakfast rates are really quite affordable. It is offering travellers a vacation that immerses them to the local culture which is probably more interesting than enjoying western world comforts in expensive hotels.

They have one guest cottage which has the basic amenities except for a kitchen. The Schmockers like to treat guests as family and would have you join them for meals, so there’s no need to cook your own food. They also wash and iron your clothes which is pretty convenient. The guest cottage is overlooking the sea and offers a great view of the shore.

Bed and Breakfast can be as cheap as $10 per person. Add $5 and you have dinner included. Children up to 12 years of age enjoy $8/day rates. The Schmockers have a gallery of pictures which includes photos of the family and scenic views around their guest cottage, as well as some pictures around Bohol.
