The homestay owners (Chị Thảo and Anh Hãi) came pick us up at the bus terminal upon our arrival. We directly connected as they are so welcoming. The homestay consists of 5 separate tiny houses for the guests. The owners live in their ancient house typical of the E Đe style.

The coffee she serves is from Aeroco, certified by Rainforest Alliance and had won several awards in VN. Check out the coffee processing facility next to lake Aekao. We are pleased to have stayed in Buon’s garden and left BMT in a much better...
