3 Riverrs & Rosalie Forest Eco Lodge was the dream of Jem Winston, from the United Kingdom.

In my early 20's I dreamt of building and running a small place in Dominica, having disovered it during my backpacing days.

Then I got serious and retruned to England to save to buy land in Dominica.

My brother signed up for the dream.

And so it began, on an overgrown banana plantation, in a remote part, of a remote island in the Caribbean; now my home, Dominica.

Finally we moved to Dominica in January 2002, and work began on clearing the land, in preparation for building. By the end of that year, 3 Rivers Eco Lodge opened with one cottage. Soon after my brother left, and I stayed to run the Lodge.

In 2004, some of the forest at the back of 3 Rivers went up for sale, and in order to prevent the area from coninued logging, (which had begun), and for the feeling, the honour, the responsibility, of owning some real rainforest, I decided to buy a piece of the jungle at the back of 3 Rivers Eco Lodge, and established the Rosalie Eco Forest Retreat, in harmony with 3 Rivers.

Today the old 3 Rivers Eco Lodge with it's charming cottages, is merged with my own Rosalie Forest and it's inspiring Tree Houses and cabins, and formed what is now known as Rosalie Foreat / 3 Rivers Eco Lodge.

Today, Rosalie Forest / 3 Rivers Eco Lodge, is a true back to nature experience, with a variety of cool and sustainable accommodations, in incredible natural surroundings, safe and secluded in the jungle: Offering a range of activities for all. From the beginning, the idea was to create the ideal getaway, respecting the environment and working closely with the locals to create an ambience that is a mixture of cultures, where people on any budget can enjoy the natural wonders of Dominica, whilst minimizing the environmental impact and aiding the sustainable development of the local community. Together with an excellent team of local workers, Rosalie Forest Eco Lodge is now receiving a steadily growing flow of guests and accolades.

Together with my staff, we are proud to have received various eco awards for our environmental work.

My name is Jem Winston, and I own and 3 Rivers & Rosalie Forest Eco Lodge. I first discovered Dominica in 1990, when I was backpacking the Caribbean, and fell in love with the place instantly. I dreamt that one day I would return and build a small hotel and campsite. In 2002, I returned to build first 3 Rivers and then Rosalie Forest. My aim was to create what I would have liked to find when I was on the road; a small and friendly place, surrounded by natural beauty, with friendly staff, where anyone, on any budget, would feel comfortable. I believe I have succeedded in my wish.

My name is Lincoln Thomas and I am from the nearby village of Petite Soufriere, one of the most unspoiled villages on the island. I mainly work up in the forest, but you may well see me around the main property too ; whatever you need, let me know and I will sort it for you.
