Nestled in the lush Ajloun Forest Reserve, this cozy retreat features wooden cabins and a variety of outdoor activities, perfect for nature lovers and families.
"If you think Jordan is a country of dry, brown desert, get yourself to the gentle, wooded hills of the Ajloun Forest Reserve. It’s a relatively small park, but the slopes are studded with oak and pistachio trees, providing a green lung for the region and a home for roe deer, wild boar, jackals, a wide variety of bird life, and even the occasional wolf. Managed by the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature, the reserve features a series of hiking trails through the hills, many of which pass the farms and olive groves of nearby villages and show a side of Jordanian life not typically seen by visitors. Visit in the spring to walk among the wildflowers, and book one of the delightful wooden chalets near the reserve entrance or a homestay with a local villager if you wish to spend the night."
Cabins are nice, clean and warm.
Hiking trail was very beautiful in the morning. (It can be slippery because of the mud be careful)
Breakfast was okay.
Campfire area was closed and we wanted to do our own Sajieh. (We managed to spend time in Jarash then go to the cabins)
it is recommended in the winter if you cant do camping or a family.
The next day we visited soap and biscuits house. (I only bought Dana tea and few biscuits to try, its more touristic prices than local)

Best place for a wonderful stay in Ajloun, cabins are well equiped and neat, the scenery and place is amazing. The staff are so supportive and responsive. The only drawback is breakfast as it needs more improvements and one last thing is mosquitos, so make sure to get mosquito repellent.

The environment is stunning and quiet. The size of deluxe cabin is suitable for small families (~4p) but not much clean. The price is a little bit high close to 4~5 starts hotels, including a breakfast only. The breakfast is very basic and simple. The preserve does not include the brown deer as they claim. My children did not see it as well as their is no playing parks for young kids. Only zibline and giant swing for adults, teenagers, and maybe for very brave young kids. Anyway, it is good to try once.

Lovely place to be in the heart of Nature 🌳
The staff are friendly and zealous!
I went with a friend, and we took the small trail, so beautiful and informative, well maintained and indicated, easy and enjoyable between the oak trees and Greek strawberries trees, amazing landscape... Also what makes it great is that there are a lot of shaded areas! This trail can be done alone, no need for a guide. It is suitable for a family with young age children 🥾🥾.
The contribution fees are:
2.5 JD for Jordanians
8 JD for foreigners
Or you can end your wonderful small hike at the restaurant and enjoy the food, drinks, scenery, fresh breeze, so you don't have to pay the entrance fees.
Oh and the toilets are remarkably extraordinarily clean!
Well done!
Enjoy!
