“A homestay grown over a decade, shelf by shelf, book by book.”
It’s a unique and beautiful homestay that also serves as the local library, built with care and dedication over more than a decade. They regularly host cultural events. The place really breathes tranquility and is very well kept. Every morning the owner even provided eggs and fruit, which normally isn’t included.

“A memorable place in Nan.”
This rambling old wooden house has been going for a long time and little has changed. It is one of a kind, convivial, charming, quirky. Don't expect too much in terms of comfort, but it is a memorable stay.

“Don’t miss this experience”
A beautifully preserved wooden guesthouse, part library and part retreat, this place feels like a secret haven in the heart of Nan. Built entirely in old teak, it carries the charm of a bygone Thailand—quiet, warm, and exquisitely tasteful. Every corner feels curated, from the vintage details to the shelves lined with books, creating a sense of intimacy that makes you want to slow down and stay a few days. The location couldn’t be better: tucked inside a peaceful neighbourhood but still close to Nan’s temples, museums, bicycle routes, and some truly excellent local restaurants. The garden is a highlight—lush, fragrant, and perfectly kept, ideal for reading, journaling, or simply listening to the birds at sunrise. This guesthouse captures the quiet sophistication that makes Nan the best small city in northern Thailand. It’s a place for travellers who appreciate authenticity, thoughtful design, and a slower rhythm. Absolutely worth lingering for more than just a night.

Fab place in general and great accommodation in particular; the room with balcony is perfect, with more amenities you can need (kettle, coffee maker, local coffee, tea, and possibly more cups than I have back home). You can borrow bikes to wander around town, and if you want to explore further out with a car, ask the lovely lady at reception to put you in contact with Nmin, she’s a great driver and super nice company. I’ll go back without hesitation!

“This place is a gem in Nan”
The environment of this ancient house feeling has been carved over the year by the owner who is a delightful lady, very caring and friendly. The cafe on the ground floor serves the best coffee in the most relaxing atmosphere. I loved the tiny thoughtful decoration details spread around the area, the cleanliness of the whole place, excellent beds and bed linens, the plants everywhere. Everything I could ever need was provided in my room (fridge, kettle, coffee, tea, cutlery etc.) there was even a terrace. The guest house is also a library with plethora of great books, and hosts cultural events. You may meet great people there, ready to share their insights on the country, their culture and life in general. It is located quite centrally though in a quiet neighbourhood. You can easily walk around (many shops and restaurants) or take a bicycle from the guest house if you want to explore a little further.

“Wonderful home stay with art and literature”
The atmosphere is a real local one, the house is of old style but confortable and welcoming. The staff is friendly but also leave your privacy. Inside the house is hosted a small library and independent editor so you have the chance to participate to events on art and literature that is not something so common in Thailand.

Lovely atmospheric guest house for an amazing price. Quiet location but close to town centre. Free bikes were a bonus to get to the other side of the river.
