It is now possible to stay on Plantation Houses own coffee farm "Finca Don Eduardo". In keeping with the eco-friendly philosophy of Plantation House, Finca Don Eduardo is organic (although not certified).

The coffee farm is located 15 minutes walk from Plantation House and is very much a working coffee farm. The trail down to the farm during the wet seasons will be very muddy and a flashlight is needed to navigate the trail once the sun has gone down. That said the views from the farm are spectacular.

Accomodation is VERY BASIC - there is one double room on the lookout point and one large dormitory (6 beds) in the main farmhouse. There is a large open plan kitchen built in bamboo (guadua). In July 2010 two new bathrooms were added to the main house. The property has electricity and running water. In August 2010 a solar water heater was added to enable guests to have a hot shower.  In October 2012 a rainwater harvesting system was installed enabling the farm to be largely self sufficient in water.

A dormitory bed on the farm is 15,000 COP per night, the double room is 35,000 COP for double occupance and 30,000 COP for single occupancy.
