Claiming that there are other pages posting fake information about its residence, and yet, it was so difficult to get the owner to communicate with me in Facebook Messenger, although he advertised his Facebook link here. Waited for his reply, and he repeated what I had already known, without answering my question. And then, no reply again. I don't understand how this place could prosper in longer run, if he is so inattentive.
We did not stay but we were the only visitors until a lovely small family from Israel stopped by and then we talked about Texas and guns lol with the husband. My girlfriend from Thailand enjoyed all of the beautiful mountain views and sunset!
Not really worth driving down there during the dry season (February), I only stopped by because I was visiting the waterfalls. You can still appreciate the traditional wooden houses or watch the sunset. The road is narrow and gets bumpier the closer you get to the village. Must be gorgeous when the rice fields are green.
Nice accommodation with the ricefield view, be prepared to bring your own food since there is no restaurant around or you will be hungry until the meal time that the accommodation provide. Will be good when you visit on the green season. The way to reach there is narrow and in the mountain drive. Safe drive.
Wonderful place to stay overlooking to valley filled with rice fields. In the morning it is a sea of cloud stretching out below. Great food brought to our terrace at dusk and dawn. Room pretty basic but adequate - with good mosquito net. A really memorable place to stay
