Tonglu Hotels with Pools

## Nestled in Tonglu's Painterly Landscape | A Short Account of Yisongshuling, Lucun Village As the outside world receded, the invigorating spirit of the landscape washed over me. Stepping inside, it was immediately clear that the hosts possess a true appreciation for life. It wasn't about ostentatious 'design,' but rather a subtle integration of modern elements into aged wood, pristine white walls, and warm lighting. The room was spacious, and smart home features silently anticipated every need, making it feel like living in a futuristic poem – a poem, nonetheless, that rhymed with the mountains and the moon. My absolute favorite was the window. Mornings brought mist hovering over the river like a delicate veil, while at night, stars seemed to tumble into the deep, inky mountains. Sitting quietly by the window, listening to the wind whisper through the bamboo and watching water birds glide over the emerald ripples, I suddenly understood why ancient scholars always sought to 'steal moments of leisure' – the sublime beauty of nature is, after all, the most priceless of gifts. The home-cooked meals prepared by Auntie carried the warmth of the earth itself. Bamboo shoots, freshly dug from the back mountain that very morning, and fish, caught straight from the river, were simply prepared. Yet, their exquisite freshness transported me back to my grandmother's kitchen in childhood. Each bite felt like a gentle blessing from the mountains and waters. The staff always greeted us with a smile, striking the perfect balance, like old friends. There was no need to ask; they had already quietly anticipated and prepared everything. And if solitude was desired, they would simply leave you with a tranquil, gentle quietude. Departing felt like waking from a beautiful dream. This wasn't merely accommodation; it was unequivocally a few days spent dwelling in a fairyland. I left imbued with its spiritual essence, and I swear I even 'stole' half a window's worth of its magnificent scenery. —Perhaps true luxury never needs to flaunt itself; it simply, gently restores you to being one with nature. ### Tips * **Room types:** Diverse options available; a mountain view room is highly recommended. * **Must-try dishes:** Auntie's local chicken hotpot and stir-fried wild bamboo shoots. My personal favorite was the freshly made dried vegetable and pork patty – incredibly fragrant! * **Activities:** Take a stroll along the ancient path beside the guesthouse, where you can walk alongside the Fuchun River, with distant mountains as your backdrop. * **Nearby attractions:** It's very close to the Mailing Ancient Path, definitely worth a hike. The establishment was incredibly thoughtful. They helped upgrade our room, and when they heard our friend had to rush for a train and would miss breakfast, they kindly packed some fruit for them to eat on the go. Auntie also kept everything impeccably clean. **”When paradise is here, why search elsewhere?”**

100% positive review! The guesthouse's design is romantic and beautiful, truly stunning. There are also two adorable kittens that made my child incredibly happy. The owners are a very warm and friendly couple, and incredibly attentive. They offered free pick-up and drop-off to OMG Park, which only took a few minutes. The breakfast was exquisite and delicious, and the dinner was super tasty. The owner's wife even worried we wouldn't have enough to eat, so she gave us extra portions, and we ended up being completely stuffed! 😂 Before we left, she even braved the rain to come out and give us a souvenir—so thoughtful! 🥰🥰 I will definitely recommend this guesthouse to all my friends.

The decoration of the homestay is simple and elegant, the facilities are complete, and the surrounding scenery is also excellent. It is very comfortable to walk around in this season. The boss and his wife are very friendly and will tell us about the entertainment options in the surrounding area. All dishes are made to order. Just tell them what you want to eat in advance and they will buy it in town in advance. By the way, if you just want to play around the B&B, it is also very convenient. The owner has prepared a small boat for us, and it is very comfortable to sail in the small lake in front of the door. To sum up, it is highly recommended. It is a homestay that you are willing to come again after visiting.

Shanmeisu, the decoration aesthetic is online, the furniture is specially purchased from Thailand by the boss, the wood is very special, like it. The rooms are fully equipped and the wooden ceiling is original. The balcony room has a mountain view. Wake up in the morning as if you are in a cloud and mist. The natural oxygen bar is especially suitable for us who have been living in the city for a long time to relax and charge. In summer, you can also have an infinity pool, and there is a bath room in winter. Very suitable for group building and friends gathering!

The trip was full of surprises. This homestay was very clean and the bed was the most comfortable and immersive sleep I have ever lived in. Looking up is the mountain view, full of green eyes. Service: Full marks, the boss is very careful, we bring children more things, help us solve at any time. There are a lot of fun around, there are stream coffee, hot air balloons, and waterfall barbecue, so worry-free.

Beyond the flat plains lie spring mountains, and the grassy path is nestled within them. An hour and a half after departing from Yuhang, the car stopped in front of a shop sign. A small gate, hidden by a grassy path, opened to reveal a vast expanse of lush green lawn, like a thick, verdant carpet. On the lawn stood a five-story industrial-style building—the Grassy Path Guesthouse. The guesthouse's pets were all adorable and friendly: the dogs were domesticated, the cats wild. Dinner at the guesthouse featured a fragrant and sweet hot pot of free-range chicken and vegetables, and flavorful grilled beef and shrimp. Reading, sipping tea, and drinking coffee in the tatami study and tea room—a few relaxing days were truly delightful. As dawn and dusk passed, every step was met with verdant greenery and the sounds of birds and insects. At sunrise, golden rays pierced the clouds and pierced the forests and mountains; at dusk, countless stars shone brightly against the indigo sky. The tranquility of the mountains and fields could cleanse the dust of the world and soothe the soul. I would definitely come back to stay.

The off-peak travel was a great success! The hotel is on a hill next to the river, and you can directly see the river view. The off-peak travel is to have fewer people, and the overall environment is really quiet. The interior is the style I like, simple and clean, and the outdoor is also beautiful. Sitting by the swimming pool, blowing the wind and looking at the scenery, wasting time. The service attitude in the hotel is also very good, and I will choose this place next time I come to Tonglu.

It wasn't as outstanding as it was two years ago. The room had a musty smell when I entered, and a foul odor came from the toilet when it was opened. The sink also drained incredibly slowly. I didn't expect my first stay to be so good, and the second one to be so disappointing. The breakfast options weren't as plentiful as before either. Perhaps because Sun Park opened and there are more guests, the hotel is showing its age and some issues are popping up. Parking is available right at the entrance, and the service was fine; the security guard was very proactive. I hope the hardware conditions can be improved.

We had a fantastic stay at the big house at Nine Cloud Homestead Resort, traveling with 6 adults and 4 children. The house is beautifully located at the foot of the mountain, with a huge garden full of lovely trees and flowers, making it peaceful and perfect for families. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the service was excellent — special thanks to our dedicated housekeeper Aline, who was warm, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. The shuttle service between the hall and the house was very convenient, and guests can enjoy many free amenities including the swimming pool, gym, table tennis, and badminton courts. A wonderful, relaxing stay — highly recommended for families and groups!

The stay was very comfortable, and it felt like living in the embrace of the mountains. It was very crowded everywhere during the May Day holiday. We went to Daqi Mountain and played around the teahouse at the entrance. We didn't dare to go in. It was very quiet when we returned to the B&B. The boss was also very nice. Because the B&B was halfway up the mountain, the last section of the road was difficult to drive, so he always came to pick us up. I feel that there may be enough oxygen in the mountains, and I felt very energetic for the few days here. Haha~ The food was also delicious. We arrived at dinner time on the first day because of the traffic jam. We ordered dishes from the boss on the way. The service was in place👍
