Kibbutz Haon Guest House on the Sea of Galilee

“What is a kibbutz?” was the main question I had after the first time I read over the itinerary after we purchased the trip.  That’s right AFTER.  I think we glanced at it and bought it.  All I knew is that it was a tour of Israel and that was good enough for me!   But after the trip was purchased I spent a little more time looking through what we would be doing and where we would be staying.  The tour was booked through Isram Israel.  Kibbutz Haon Guest House #IsraelTravel #IsramIsraelTraditionally a kibbutz was a community that pooled and shared all of it’s resources and finances, kind of a socialist or some said Zionist community.  Kibbutz Haon, is a community settlement on the shore of the Sea of Galilee in northern Israel. It is located at the foot of the Golan Heights about a twenty minute drive from the city of Tiberias.  In the early 2000s the community, highly in debt, had to liquidate and sell and it now a wonderful place for guests and tourists.

Kibbutz Haon Guest House Bathroom #IsraelTravelThe bathroom was HUGE and the tub fit the room perfectly.  I knew I was going to like it here.  But there was more…

Kibbutz Haon Guest House Bedroom #IsraelTravelI kept exploring and was surprised to find another bedroom.  Whew!  😉  Wow we had room in this place for our entire family of seven.  I couldn’t help thinking how the kids would have loved running around this place!

Kibbutz Haon Sea of Galilee #IsraelTravelWe met up with Jason’s dad, Bob at Haon.  It was so fun to get to spend time with him and enjoy the trip together.
