Vacation rentals in Rubona

We came with three kids and were a bit nervous about being off the beaten path — but this place turned out to be a gem. The garden is like a wonderland, the house is well-equipped (we cooked pancakes in the morning!), and everyone — especially Arali and Brenda the caretakers — made sure we were safe and comfortable. The rooms are charmingly rustic, though you should know that there’s no hot water on demand. You can ask for it to be heated, but we actually ended up enjoying the cool morning rinse — it woke us up better than coffee. :) There’s currently no direct way to reach the lake, which was a small letdown for our kids. But with all the other experiences — the theatre night with Rayka, the drumming, the monkeys — they didn’t even remember this by the end! Its a very unique place - go check it out!

Quiet lovely home and not very far from fort portal town.

This is an amazing house with an absolutely stunning view over the beautiful lake and hills! The house is very large and well set up: there is a large communal living area and kitchen, huge terrace and several bed- and bathrooms. Two families can easily share. Christopher the housekeeper was very helpful and set up a fire for us on the first night. We had a wonderful time and I would be very happy to return! One thing we were disappointed about: The jetty to the lake was broken in parts, which made it difficult to get into and out of the lake. I suggest future guests who want to use the lake for swimming check with the house owners if the jetty has been repaired. Thanks!

What a beautiful place this is? Breathtaking! A wooden lodge with stunning views of the crater lake! Rayka and Brenda are very helpful to make delicious breakfast and give advice to suggest fun activities and nice restaurants! If you love adventure, this is the place for sure!

a great place, quiet with superb views on nature and village life. everything is peaceful here.

Sure! Here's a smoother, more polished version of your message: --- The view was absolutely stunning, and we had such a lovely time! The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming—we truly felt at home. We cooked for ourselves, and the kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed. I was especially impressed by the thoughtful touches like solar-powered battery banks and torches. The whole place was perfectly set up for a cosy, comfortable stay. The host also kindly accommodated our special request, which made our visit even more memorable. I can’t wait to come back!

Jojo is a very warm and welcoming host. Her place was easy to find and she greeted us when we arrived. She also lives in the house and she made us a delicious breakfast in the mornings which filled us up for the whole day. She has a beautiful garden which we enjoyed sitting in and picking gooseberries from. She even sent my friend home with some flower seeds. Overall, a comfortable, quiet and welcoming place if you want to feel right at home in Fort Portal!

Andi and Jennifer were fantastic hosts. Our stay in Fort Portal was awesome.

BLT residence is a lovely place, and there are many reasons to want to stay there again. I spent three nights there, in the beautiful home set in the foothills of Mount Rwenzori, with my wife and three young sons. The boys immediately felt at home, running through the landscaped garden and, later, asking if we could stay longer. The place is looked after by a kind caretaker who was very responsive and answered our questions or helped us get things we needed to buy from a nearby shop. Della herself was very responsive from the beginning. The home is located near Rwenzori Founders, a world-famous art center and sculpture gallery. I strongly recommend this property to travelers visiting the Rwenzori region, especially to those traveling as a small group. There is no home in Kasese that’s more tranquil — and more affordable — than BLT residence.
