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 needs to be more than five stars for this place. Literally every detail that makes for a comfortable and memorable stay was included. From excellent advance communication to the most delicious food ever (seriously, we’ve had Michelin starred meals and this place deserves one!) to friendly and warm hosting… every possible amenity and anything we could ever have wanted to do pr not do (the pool is delightful). We highly recommend Howie’s HomeStay for a couple looking to getaway and think it would be great for families and groups traveling together too. We will be back!

Howie and Jerri have the most gorgeous property we have ever seen. This is the kind of property that deserves to be featured on the cover of Architectural Digest along with at least a ten page spread inside. The quality of design, workmanship and overall attention to detail is beyond compare. We felt so privileged to be able to stay there for five glorious nights. Initially, we imagined feeling ill at ease as the only guests in such a large property. That was not the case at all. Howie always found the perfect level of making himself available but yet providing us with complete privacy during our stay. Howie would join us briefly during breakfast and dinner to answer any questions we might have and to confirm our plans for the upcoming days. We found his suggestions to be excellent and appreciated his willingness to find a way to make things happen. We were met at the Chiang Mai airport by Addy who along with a van and driver facilitated our various different activities while in Chiang Mai and continuing on to Chiang Rai and ultimately to the airport for our return to Bangkok. We had been told by a friend who had stayed there a year previous to us that it was worth staying there just to eat the amazing food. Therefore, we were anticipating good food but we could never have imagined the meals that Jerri prepared for us during our stay. Each night the table was laden with five scrumptious main course dishes. The quantity of food was staggering but more so was the quality of the dishes. We live in NYC and are accustomed to amazing meals but nothing compared to Jerri’s masterpieces. Her dishes included traditional thai dishes but always with her special signature twist. Our meals were worthy of a multiple Michelin star establishment. Any thoughts we had of not trying everything in front of us were discarded after our first bites. These meals were meant to be relished and lingered over.

After 4 wonderful but busy days in Bangkok, our (too-short!) time at Howie's Home Stay was amazing. From the stunning architecture and landscaping, to wonderful guides and activities, to Jerri's SPECTACULAR meals and welcoming, gracious spirit and interesting chats with Howie. We couldn't have asked for a better way to experience Chiang Mai!!

Howie and Jeri’s home stay is Is the most amazing property we have ever stayed at. While the property itself is probably the most private, well-designed, architecturally significant and overall mind blowing place, the real gems were Howie and Jeri themselves. We felt like we made new friends in Thailand and having coffee and chatting with Howie every morning was so interesting and insightful. It’s difficult to describe the quality of Jeri’s food, if this home was open to the public for dining, it would have three Michelin stars. Her flavors, presentations, the sheer variety of the dishes that we were served every night and the beautiful breakfast with so many delicious tropical fresh fruits was mind blowing. If you’re looking for a superlative experience like none you’ve ever had before, Howie’s Homestay is for you. 10 stars, we will be back.

Howie’s HomeStay provides an unforgettable experience. The exquisite environment, the impeccable services, and most of all, the delicious cuisines. Jerri, the beautiful wife of Howie and talented chief with her stylish and tasty fusion Thai cuisines satisfies picky taste buds. The only worris brought are that we’ll all have to go on diet after going home.
