"This is a beautiful family-owned and run business. The owner is German with a Thai wife. His step-son handles most of the day-to-day operations. They have a lovely little daughter who is so sweet. They were very helpful with recommendations to drive to and visit the National Parks nearby and even organized amazing boat trips for us to both national parks. They are situated right on the Mekong River. What makes this place exceptional is their location far away from everything else. It is so peaceful. They have amazing Thai and western food, including an amazing steakhouse because the owner used to be a butcher. They even helped watch the children while the parents ate. And when we needed to go to town for some supplies, they promptly drove us there and back. They have a lovely garden with water features, good AC and fans, and a nice pool for children, along with swings and a small playground. They have a stocked bar, and they make watermelon smoothies to die for. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. I can’t wait to go back!"
