By the beautiful lake, wild and serene. Five courtyards hide among the trees, each with its own privacy. A bird darts by, a fish leaps from the water, the wind rustles the leaves. In this secluded retreat, time slows down, and no one disturbs your peace.

"Breakfast is simple, with two types of buns, corn, sweet potatoes, milk, or coffee. Bananas, grapes, and cherry tomatoes are also delivered to your room and can be enjoyed on the small terrace while enjoying the view. It's super chilled!

2️⃣ Stay Experience: You'll have your own butler, who will call you the morning of your arrival date to ask what time you'll arrive. They'll also add you on WeChat in advance to send you maps, directions, and travel guides.
