I had a huge pleasure staying one night at Sean’s place after hiking in the Tiger leaping gorge. Sean was extremely friendly and hospitable, cooked dinner and breakfast for me, and we talked about many things. Sean speaks fluent English (very rare case! so it was a rare opportunity for me, as a traveller, to learn more about local culture. He also organized for me a minivan transfer to Lijiang for a fare price in the morning, that was extremely convenient.
The guest house has a spanning 40 year history, and it was one of the first in the area to welcome foreigners. It’s very maintained, provides with all the essentials amenities, very comfortable, clean and spacious. I felt very rested and tranquil there. And the view is just unbeatable!
It’s just 2km extra walk after the exit from the middle gorge, totally worth it. It provides desired comfort and isolation from the crowds that you may encounter in other places along the way.
The host is a very pleasant man. The rooms are simple but have everything you need after a hiking day. Also Sean is a very good cook and takes really good care of you.
It’s absolutely gorgeous place, located in the Tiger Leap Gorge, in the mountains. It’s quite, peaceful place, amazing views from the terraces, the rooms are very simple but cozy, all wood inside, have real bath! The owner is absolutely amazing, welcoming, he will treat you as real friend, perfect English, food of all kinds. I just left but I already want to come back again! Thank you so much!
Sean’s Guesthouse offers a huge outdoor seating area where you can enjoy views of the mountains, tea, coffee, beer and many amazing, organic, home cooked meals. Sean is a very nice and helpful host who gives great hiking tips.
