Tree House 10 mins drive fr center

  Moo was an excellent host. We were massive pains and changed our plans and dates a million times and she was so flexible and accommodating. The tree house is really cute and super pretty but rather hot. The place itself is really lovely and the gym and outdoor areas are super nice. The grounds man is really sweet and super helpful too. We ended up changing our room to one of the brick houses and it was so beautiful. Lots of space but still with a cold shower. Viva Chiang Mai is quite a way out of town so it's best to hire a scooter to get in and out of town. There wasn't anyone else staying during our time but I reckon it would be super fun with more people around.

  we really like the the tree house! it is located around 10-15 min drive from nimmanhaemin road/ city center, in a quiet neighborhood with some private houses surrounded. for people who look for something simple, who like to stay in treehouse-typed lush and quiet place, and also be able to explore the city conveniently - this is a great choice. this place has a big garden, and the lounge/club house area were nicely built with decent design aesthetics. the room is clean and nice, with a small balcony. it's falling asleep to the raucous sounds of crickets, tree frogs, and waking up to birdsong and the smell of trees.

  note to travellers - as this place is quite hidden outside of city, taxi driver usually would not be able to find it. if you don't have a GPS map in hand, get the host on the phone to talk to the driver will work. we rent a scooter on the second day and it's actually pretty easy to find our way home.

  Alors l'hôte nous a reçu, mais c'est tout!!!
  Personne pour répondre a nos questions, des travaux dans la résidence a côté qui commencent a 8h du matin, pas de breakfast disponible, c'est a dire par de cuisine ni personnel pour ça! Juste des verres, de l'eau et du thé. Aucun prospectus sur les activités et bar alentours. Personne pour savoir si tout c'est bien passé et nous dire au revoir. Et ce n'est pas une cabane dans les arbres mais des arbres autour une cabane! Très loin de la ville et non 10 minutes comme l'hôte le dit, même les taxis ne trouvent pas. Comptez minimum 400 bahts.

  What a great place! We stayed in the treehouse for a week (me, my husband and my 3-year-old son) and we just loved it. The whole place is clean and well mantained and the garden is enchanting! People can enjoy their breakfast in the morning (a cereal-toast-milk breakfast is served for 100 Baht, which is a good deal as breakfast at coffee shops/restaurants in town cost much more). The water in the bathroom is just a bit warm (not really hot), but that's good enough as in Thailand it's hot all year around (we were there in January so during the cool season and we were ok with that). If you have a driving license go and rent a motorbike (we did it), it will save money and time. Taxis and tuk-tuk are not on the way but Miss Duangporn can help with that. Gym, wi-fi, yoga space and info point are available. Want to escape the city but still not be too far from it? Are you a traveler more than a tourist? This is the right place.

  the tree house as beauty as the picture and surround by the nature ,it was my first time visit Chiang Mai so I didnt know how far from the old city (The taxi rate "not tuk tuk or the red one for share " ) around $150 THB to the old city and around 15mins, but if you dont want spend money on taxi or dont know how to ride scooter then here may not your choice ,as here not like a hotel so no receptionist ; no restaurant inside it means no food you can order here ! if you want breakfast that you have to tell the gardener the day before and the breakfast is really basic , but sometime he works out so you may not able to reach him ,also he barely speak English so even though he wants to help that he couldnt but he is really nice and friendly guy !
  so for my experienced that suggest you buy fruit for breakfast, then you can relax in the morning and go out for lunch and walking around the city .
  You can do self-practice yoga and gym here as they provide the yoga mat and room , but not suggest ask them to arrange the teacher come over ,as more fun go to the yoga studio in town as there have many good studios like blue garden ; wild rose and yoga tree ... As here quite remote so not many taxi driver know the direction ,you must print the map and their number just in case they cannot find .

  The treehouse was interesting. And the owner was very friendly and nice. Several points:
  Advantages:
  1.Great view and very natural environments. You can heard bugs a lot in the evening.
  2.The room was in a great village. The citizens there was very nice.
  3.There were many great local restaurants in the village which had delicious foods in it.

  Disadvantages:
  1.A bit far away from the City center. If you leave here, do rent a motobike. The taxi in the Airport didn't want to go here, and tuk-tuk in the city would ask high price to drive your here from downtown.
  2.Ants. A bit lot ants.
  3.The breakfast would cost you 100 Baht / person. I don't think it was cost-effective.

  I liked staying here because it was very quiet, calm and with good taste. I was looking for "nature" and although it is truly very nice, I was a bit surprised to find that this is actually a property in a semi-urban part of town, so the view from the tree house's balcony is beautiful, just like in the pictures but on the other side, you have the neighbor just a few meters away - you don't feel in the countryside at all. Another thing is that there wasn't any yoga, or meditation, or cooking. It was more like, if you want to, you can do it, or the owner can arrange a class for you, but this is not a meditation retreat. A final consideration is that it is quite complicated to get to the city center of Chiang Mai. The best way is to just rent a scooter, which is 200-300 baht per day, so take it into account in your budget. If you don't, you'll pay about the same for taxis, but it is more complicated for them to agree to take you there and to find one when you are going out.

  All in all, just knowing that you'll probably have to rent a scooter, and that it is truly peaceful, I really liked this place. My aim is just to help you manage your expectation compared to what the description says. I recommend it. I definitely preferred staying here than in one of the hotels in Chiang Mai city. It's much nicer, peaceful, quiet, clean.

  We never met the host, but the man who was available on site was great. He was friendly and helpful. However there is nothing else I would recommend about this place. The pool and landscape were dirty and not being maintain. The bungalow had broken shower doors and there were two single beds for a married couple.
  Plus its really in the middle of nowhere, the closest attractive is a large shopping mall.

  The place was so depressing we left after one night and couldn't get a refund.

  Its a very nice and serene place but small and at quite a distance from the city. The room was spacious and clean but the bathroom is extremely small. Given that the bathroom is somewhat open, it got cold while taking a shower (in Jan).To get around you need your own transport. There are very limited options for food nearby. The b'fast is overpriced for what you get. The owner/manager is quite helpful:she got her Gardner helper to take me to the city to rent a bike. It makes sense to stay here if you are a party of 2-4 people and have your own transport.

  I was really pleased with this place. The space itself was somewhat small, but my travelling companion and I had no complaints. It was unseasonably cold (record lows!) when we were there, so the outdoor shower went from a positive to a negative. But given the regular climate in Chiang Mai it's pretty great to take a private shower outdoors as I was able to on my last day! If you're here during the warm months, it's a huge plus.
  We were walking distance to a pickup point for the farm cooking class, and closely positioned to the tiger farm. Those were the highlights of CM for me. If you crave to be closer to downtown that's a different choice, but it's really only a 10-minute tuk tuk ride (about $5 US) and I liked the restaurants and massage parlors that were walking distance to us.
  It may be worthwhile to spend 1-2 nights here, and another 1-2 nights in downtown, so you get the best of both worlds. But if you stay outside of downtown, I would definitely recommend!

  Ce bungalow est situé en bordure de route et même avec des boules quies, le va et vient incessant des motos et autres véhicules ;, ne vous permettrons pas de dormir.
  Equipement intérieur plus que rudimentaire, celui qui dormira dans la couchette supérieure aura vue sur la rue et sera éclairé par les véhicules qui passent.
  A éviter.

  Surpris de constater a l'accueil après un long voyage de plus de douze heures qu'elle était prête a nous donner "cache back" parce qu'elle était full booked ! Très belle endroit mais pas si calme... Chiens, motos, voiture et notre hôte sans arrêt au cellulaire et elle parle fort ! Loin de Chan(website hidden) il vous en coûte 200 B pour y allez et difficile de négocier un minimum de 400B pour rentrer c'est si loin que pas un taxi ou tuc tuc ne veux y allez !et c'est un plus sur votre budget prenez en compte le temps perdu pour négocier les taxis! Elle dit 10 minutes en velo mais les cotes sont raides croyez moi ! Petit dej insignifiant...et on peu même voir les chats laper le beurre avant qu'il ne vous soit servi ! Oui, oui de nos huis yeux vu !! Par contre dans le village de tres bons authentiques restaurants Thaï!
  Yoga et méditation disait-elle ? Quand vous êtes sur place ca n'existe pas ! J'ai plus eu l'impression d'être dans un hotel de passage que dans une maison privée dite calme.
  Par-contre c'est très propre et nous y avons fait une très belle rencontre avec qui tout en échangeant nos déceptions commune quant a l'endroit promis avons cherche une autre place pour finalement passer les deux semaines et demis restantes a visiter la Thaïlande... Pour ça merci !

  The Villa, bungalows and the tree house in this property are all exquisitely designed with superlative taste and comfort. I loved them! If you are looking for somewhere to chill out and be surrounded by nature and serenity, this is the place to be. The meditation/yoga terrace is perfect for sunbathing, reading and yoga practice. There are many local eateries around the property and the best one is the seafood restaurant at the entrance of the mountain road. It takes 15 min to get to the old city by tuk tuk, the only problem is to return to the property. It's a very frustrated experience to convince the driver to go up the hill and they always try to change price along the way. If you can rent a motorbike it would save you tremendous amount of money, time and energy. Despite the issue of transportation, I loved our stay at this property and highly recommend those who love modern architecture and beautiful design. The host is very helpful as well.

  Excellent accommodations. Viva Chiang Mai's distance from the old city provides a nice contrast to the more tourist-oriented areas in the old city/Th Ninmanhaemin. However it can be difficult for taxi drivers to find, so it is better to direct taxi drivers to Wat Rumpeong. Our rooms were very well kept, Mu was very helpful in arranging whatever we needed during the length of our stay.

  Calling this place a homestay may be a bit of a stretch, since you're not exactly sharing a home with a family, but it would be an ideal nature retreat for groups looking to do yoga. Beautiful surroundings.

  My 2 friends and i loved our stay in Chiang Mai and it had a lot to do with the hospitality of the lovely staff. They were very friendly going out of their way to make out stay as enjoyable as possible. I would definately stay here again. The accomadation was great and the pools were very relaxing.
  Thanks again for a great holiday.
