Howie's HomeStay

我們算是豪華旅遊的常客，平時也沒有寫評論的習慣，但沒想到這個世界有這種酒店，所以一定要推薦一下！這個地方像一個博物館一樣，我和女朋友在這裏住了4個晚上，每天都可以發掘一些新奇有趣的藝術品，不論是傢俬擺設和莊園都是由知名設計師設計！因為這家酒店的設計是由Bill Bensley 操刀的，然後主人家Howie 那一份對藝術品的情懷在這個地方完美演繹出來！另外值得一提的是Howie 只接待一台客人，基本上感覺像是包了埸，所以整個莊園都是我們的，他會親自招呼你，就好像你去拜訪一位舊朋友一樣親切！Howie 太太Jerri 做的泰菜媲美米子連餐廳，每天都有不同花款，他們確保早午晚我們都得到悉心照料我們也很享受Howie 的熱情款待，常常在吃飯的時候跟我們分享他的企業家心得，另外如果想體驗清邁，Howie 也會提供所有建議，確保大家玩得安心！我訂房之前看了其他評論感覺too good to be truth, 但原來是真的！這是一次非常好的住宿體驗，回味無窮！有機會一定再回去。 We are a frequent luxury traveler and we don’t usually have the habit of writing reviews, but we didn’t expect this kind of hotel to exist in this world, so we must recommend it! This place is like a museum. My girlfriend and I stayed here for 4 nights, and we can discover some new and interesting artworks every day. Whether it is furniture and manors, they are all designed by well-known designers! this hotel was designed by Bill Bensley, and the host Howie's have phenomenal sense for them and the artworks are perfectly interpreted in this place! It is also worth mentioning that Howie only receives one booking at a time! That’s right! basically it feel like you spend a fortune for the privacy, so the whole manor is ours, and he will greet you personally, as it feel like we are visiting an old friend! Howie's wife Jerri's Thai food is comparable to Michelin star restaurant. There are new dishes every day. They ensure that we are well taken care of in the the whole trip. We also enjoy Howie's hospitality and often share his entrepreneurial ideas with us during dining ,In addition if you want to experience Chiang Mai, Howie will also provide great suggestions to ensure that everyone has a safe and fun time! I read other reviews before making this trip and felt all the comments were too good to be truth, but it is actually the facts here! This is a very good accommodation experience! we will definitely go back.

There are many reasons as to why Howie's HomeStay felt like we were staying in a Garden Of Eden (our villa, the exquisite pool, the lush vegetation and birds, the hospitality and service, etc.) not the least of which was the magically curated and prepared meals organized by Jerri. We made an effort to find good food throughout our trip to Southeast Asia but none was close to as good as Jerri's food. We highly recommend Howie's -- anything else would be a distant second-best.

Howie has created his own category of accommodation. There is nothing else like it. It’s not a luxury hotel, because at a luxury hotel you will see other guests. It’s not a Homestay because it is way too opulent. It is unique in the world. Howie worked with Bill Bensley, the famous creative genius behind some of best hotels in Asia, to build this sublime compound. We stay here with our daughter and son-in-law for three days, and should have stayed longer. Howie and his charming wife Jerri fed us some of the best food we had in southeast Asia, arranged insider tours that only the locals know, and made sure our time as a family was memorable. When we checked in and toured the property in wonder, our kids asked how many other guests would be staying there. When we told them it was just us, their jaws dropped. Thank you so much Howie and Jerri. We’ll see you again soon.
