Company information

Remodeling started in 2005 and lasted 2 years. Fern Grotto Inn opened for business in 2007. Over the years and many more upgrades (indoors and outdoors) later, as well as guests recommended changes and additions later, a second floor was added to Coco Cottage and 3 new Coco suites were created in 2017. Over the years, our business has evolved into a self service place you can call your holiday home. Paul Juma
