Top choice in Mae Hong Son Province
The five fan-cooled A-frame bungalows around a small pool are compact but well maintained, while the four air-con rooms in the newer building are spacious and attractive. But it’s the beautiful two-storey ‘houses’ that make this place special. Perfect for families or a group of friends, they are stylishly decorated with living rooms, interesting nooks and crannies, and terraces with hammocks.
There is an attached restaurant and trekking and rafting trips can be arranged.
