The Mountain House in Antipolo, Rizal
If we’re being honest, most of us have just been yearning to take a break away from it all in the middle of a haven surrounded by the warm comforts of nature.
Fortunately, just a few kilometers away from Metro Manila in Antipolo lie portions of the forests of Sierra Madre, where The Mountain House, located in the midst of the mountain range that lets you take a reset in a Filipino-style house and pods, can be found.
