What Guests Say

★★★★★ 5.0 average · 7 reviews on Airbnb
★★★★★

We stayed here for ten days and really enjoyed it. The room felt very natural, like a treehouse. The balcony was relaxed and comfortable, and the bed was very cozy. The shared kitchen was convenient, and there was plenty of space in the common areas. It's very quiet here, but a 7 to 10 min walk takes you to the town center with a daily afternoon market.

Wonderful getaway on the outskirts of Chiang Mai. A very peaceful complex with everything you need. The host was very friendly and helpful and went above and beyond to make the stay feel effortless. Highly recommended for those looking for some peace and quiet.

The first impression of the place and the comfort throughout the stay was so much better than other accommodations. A local market is within walking distance. WiFi speed is excellent, very quiet. Whatever you need, the host Sarath will do everything he can to help. Will definitely come back.
