Hi! Welcome to my home : ) I am Tiger who used to be a backpacker for 10+ years. With my personal travel experiences, I got the idea to manage a guest house to meet the people all over the world and this idea turned to be real in 2010! Now I'm living in the yard surrounding by the non-touristy Great Wall in the mountain with 9 cutie cats, sharing the stories with friends and guests from time to time, enjoy the relaxing and peaceful life here.

Property info

This courtyard has 100-year-old history, it's located in a small village among the mountains surounded by the Great Wall, with modern facilities and friendly&family atmosphere. We have tea, coffee and organic vagetarien diet menu to our guests here. 9 cutie cats are kids' friendly.

Neighborhood info

Besides 4 main sections of the Great Wall, including 2 touristy and 2 non-touristy parts, Gubei WaterTown is also in 10 minutes by car. Starbucks is available in WaterTown. A kids' playground is in 2KM distance. If you like hiking or camping, a large forest park is located in about 3KM away from us.
