Vacation rentals in Baguio

Located on Luzon Island, Baguio is a mountain town known for its cool, dry weather and refreshing pine-scented forests. The city’s main drag and entertainment area, Session Road, is home to Baguio Cathedral and a collection of brand-name shops, restaurants, and bars. It’s one of the most vibrant parts of the city and a great place to see groups of friends and families having a fun night out on the town. You’ll also find a smattering of stalls dishing up local street food, including pork sisig — a local delicacy of minced pork and spices — and lumpia. For a dose of nature, head to Camp John Hay, where you’ll find golf courses, hiking trails, and tree-top adventures. You may also want to wander through the Baguio Botanical Garden or check out Mines View Park offering sweeping views of the Cordillera Mountains.

Thanks to the city’s high altitude and moderate climate, there is no bad time to secure Baguio house rentals for your next vacation. The winter generally has the driest, coolest weather. And in February, the famous month-long Panagbenga Festival celebrates the area’s blooming flowers with floats decorated with flowers and dancing. This is one of the most popular times to visit, so it is good to keep this in mind when booking your accommodation. The summer months fall during the rainy season, making it tricky if you plan to visit some of the outdoor attractions. However, the rain generally comes in short bursts, leaving you plenty of time to be outside. The spring and autumn are usually drier and less crowded than during the winter.

Mines View Park

Located just three miles from the center of Baguio, Mines View Park features a lovely overlook with expansive views of the surrounding mountains covered in pine trees and abandoned gold and copper mines. The area is particularly striking at sunrise when you can see the black of night fade away to a rainbow of colors.

Camp John Hay

Established in 1900, Camp John Hay is a well-known recreation area known for its golf course, hiking trails, ziplines, horseback riding, and a butterfly sanctuary set in an aromatic tropical pine forest. You can also find outlet shopping and restaurants on-site.

Bridal Veil Falls

Located about an hour from Baguio, Bridal Veil Falls and its tranquil surroundings are the perfect day trip for anyone looking for some outdoor adventure. The easiest way to reach the falls is along Kennon Road. You can choose to admire the cascading water from afar or cross a metal hanging bridge that extends over the Bued River.
