Great place for a gateway. Located at the bottom of the mountain park you are near the touristic village down the mountain (not up the top that is more remote and more natural). It's a family run BnB they are very good at welcoming, and they even shared their diner with us as we came in low season and were the only guest in the villa, that has 9 bedroom in total. It got cold at night (5 degree outdoor) but they provided us with extra heater for the temperature, and extra lighting to get a more cosy vibe in the room. Sky glass ceiling and waking up with view on the mountain was breathtaking. The common room have music, bar and billard to play. Chimney too but wasn't available this time because not clean.

It's the personal touch that made our stay at Little Forest exceptional. The terrace behind our room was nestled in a grove of mature bamboo which felt idyllic and peaceful. And the daily breakfast, excellent coffee, and morning walks alongside the river made this a nice getaway for us. My wife is learning to play the guqin and practices every day when we're at home, so what a nice surprise to find that there was a guqin on site (the owner is also learning to play the instrument) that my wife could continue her daily practice on. The owner was incredibly helpful, making daily activity suggestions and recommendations and even arranging for (and driving) us to swim in a nearby pool that was fed by mountain water. We hope to be back to visit Little Forest in the future; it's the type of guesthouse that feels like home.
