What recent reviews say

Every guest describes the same experience: a new, spotless house on a quiet hilltop with views of farmland and the occasional train, a working pool, and an owner who actually answers questions. Families consistently return because kids love the space and water, adults escape the noise of the city, and the price feels fair for what they get. One reviewer noted soft stairs worth watching on.

The pool uses unfiltered hill water with no chlorine. Durian lovers can book fruit from the owner's orchard, and a local warung serves lunch next door. Reviewers praise the complete setup (beds, kitchen, facilities) and the atmosphere that lets them relax without tourists buzzing about.
