I stayed here for one day and had a very pleasant experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The location was convenient, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful. The property also offers a great view, which made the stay even more enjoyable and relaxing. Even though my stay was short, I enjoyed it and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable stay.

The booking process with the owner was very smooth,he is highly respectful and took our feedback seriously. The property itself is beautiful.The milk tea and chicken momos they served for snacks upon our request were great! However, we would recommend them to improve their food quality for lunch and dinner. The caretaker's ground management and professionalism also need better training, but we have shared that privately with the owner, who promptly assured us he will look into it. We appreciate his understanding response.
