Recently completed a month of travel through Vietnam and Thailand. We stayed here as a base camp for short motorcycle trips into the adjacent mountains. The hosts are exceedingly gracious and accommodating - the main host does speak English (in contrast to prior comments). They will make mind-numbingly good meals for you (if you're around), call ahead to arrange any travel plans for you (motorcycle rentals/pickup), and generally open their home to you in every conceivable manner.

Read moreThis is my fourth stay here . I dream of this place whenever I miss Vietnam . The conjoined traditional wooden houses are surrounded by lovely country garden and ponds. The family that runs this place consists of three generations of quiet humble folks who go about tending their property daily . Comes the dinner time the meal is served in multiple traditional dishes that are to die for. I have never eaten Vietnamese food anywhere more delicious than here.
