🎉 Happy 82nd Birthday, Linda! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating the one and only Linda—the founder of Donkey Den and the person who somehow still has more ideas than the rest of us combined!

If you know Linda, you know she loves building community, has a huge heart for animals, isn’t afraid of a little edgy humor, and is always thinking about the next adventure or business idea.

For more than 20 years, she’s helped people make the move to Ecuador’s coast, sharing her experience, introducing people to the community, and making the transition a little easier for so many.

From all of us at Donkey Den, thank you for your generosity, your curiosity, your laughter, and everything you’ve done to make this little corner of Santa Marianita feel like home for so many people.

We hope your day is full of friends, great food, lots of laughs, and maybe a few new ideas to keep us all on our toes.

Santa Marianita isn’t just about ocean views and peaceful escapes — it’s also the perfect place to experience one of Ecuador’s most delicious treasures: cacao.

During your stay at Donkey Den, take a day to explore nearby cacao experiences where you can:

🌱 Walk through cacao farms and see where chocolate begins
🍫 Learn the journey from cacao bean to chocolate bar
👩‍🍳 Watch traditional chocolate-making techniques
😋 Taste fresh cacao and handmade chocolate creations
🌿 Experience the culture, flavors, and traditions behind Ecuador’s famous cacao

After a day of sweet adventures, come back to Donkey Den, relax, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, and end the evening with unforgettable memories.

A special throwback to July 4th, 2014 at The Donkey Den ❤️ This photo of our founder Linda and her daughter Darcy captures a moment in time and reminds us how quickly the years pass.

While it isn’t the 4th of July here in Ecuador, we can still celebrate the meaning behind Independence Day — freedom, hope, and gratitude for the opportunities that shape our lives and the people we share them with.

Today we’re reflecting on memories, family, and the journeys that bring us together. We’re thankful for all the friendships and support that have become part of The Donkey Den story over the years.

And from Ecuador, we’re sending love to the USA and hoping for brighter days ahead, more unity, and a future filled with kindness and hope for all. 🇺🇸💙

At Donkey Den, the culture has never just been about a place — it’s about people. It’s about gathering around a table, sharing stories, creating space to be yourself, and remembering that community isn’t built by walls, it’s built by the souls who walk through the doors.

The Donkey Den has always been a little sanctuary for the free spirits, the seekers, the wanderers, the makers, and everyone finding their own path. We celebrate authenticity, connection, and the beautiful truth that independence can mean something different for every person.

Join us tomorrow for brunch and come be part of the conversation, the laughter, and the community that makes this place what it is.

And as we head into 4th of July weekend, we still have guest rooms available for anyone celebrating their own version of independence — whether that means rest, adventure, reflection, friendship, or simply getting away for a while.

Come find your people. Come find your peace. ❤️
