Mae-Sa Valley Farm Stay Resort

I booked 3 bed rooms villa for 6 people of my family. Each bedroom have its own bathroom. It's very convenience. There's big window in master bedroom, you will have the best garden and waterfall view from this room. This resort is located on the hill so there're lots of steps. Not recommend for who have legs problem or little kids.

It's sad to see this place poorly maintained. The remnants of where craft and painting used to be done were left behind. It's a pity. The restaurant seem to have quite a crowd but the food was slightly on the sweet side. But the gardens were well looked after and the landscape was amazing.

Another one night stop on my solo bike tour of the province - the steps were tough after a long day on the bike that finished with a big climb. But the area is very picturesque. Staff speaks good English, is very friendly and professional. Limited menu, but first rate food prepared perfectly to order (they also offer cooking classes), decent room also with nice views, a/c and water pressure good.

We were picked up from our hotel in Chaing Mai and taken to the Mae-Sa Valley resort, where we did a morning of cooking. As we had the 2 kids, this course was for just our family. (The kitchen is small, so I expect the max capacity is about 6 anyway.) The resort is set in the hills in the national park and has wonderful views. The kitchen is a well equipped outdoor kitchen- perfect for the heat and the view! The class was taken by the Thai cook and there were a lot of people to help (eg. cutting vegetables/spices/herbs for the kids). Everyone was really friendly. We cooked Pad Thai, green curry, pork fried rice and banana coconut cream...and then ate it! It was great as the kids could put in less chilli for themselves, so we had a meal to suit all of us! The kids were so excited and loved this trip- it was a fantastic and relaxing way to learn Thai cooking for kids in a great location.

I'm sick of staying at well-equipped hotels in the middle of tourists city so I pick This place. It's about an hour driving to town. Beautiful landscape on the hill brings lovely peaceful feelings. The weather was a little colder than in city especially at night and early morning. It's close to the Waterfall, Elephant Camp, Botanic Garden... Just not many things to do at night. It's quite empty so there was no class like pottery or painting opened.

We really, honestly enjoyed our visit and would recommend it to others. The resort is so relaxing and beautiful. However, it's obvious that it's not what it (appears to be) once was. e.g., - lots of massage beds…but no one to give a message - enticing craft village…but it's closed - huge fire pit with firewood stacked in it…but when I asked if my family could have a campfire, the lady looked at the wood, looked at me, then said, "No. Cannot." - beautiful swimming pool…but is seriously the coldest pool I've ever been in, and we're from the North. We traveled just before the Chinese New Year, so this is peak season which would make you think they'd be at the top of their game, but they weren't. Sad to see many of their "services" not in service. I give it 4 stars for the immaculate landscaping, gorgeous scenery, nice staff, and clean updated room.

First impressions of this place really good........ Lovely surroundings in a steep garden. Nice pool, let down by awful poolside furniture - very old and pitted with grime. We had a standard room with aircon, which was very basic - no chair inside, no fridge or tea/ coffee making facilities. Bear this in mind as nearby there are only a couple of ramshackle Thai places. We went to the Restaurant in the evening hoping to enjoy our evening there. Luckily we had the foresight to ask the price of a beer to enjoy with our meal, and were shocked to be told 170 baht a bottle !! It's the most we have ever been asked for in all our travels in Thailand. The manageress justified this with the explanation they have to add VAT ! Once you arrive there you are a cornered market, with nowhere decent to eat or drink nearby, and complete lack of facities in the room to enjoy a drink on your own terrace. I suppose this entitles them to think they can charge anything they want. The last orders in the Restaurant are 7.45 pm, so there is nothing to be done after this time but retire to bed. We had taken pictures of this lovely place in the day, to return with friends later, but we will not be going back. Reception is a long, long way from the entrance and accessible only by many steep steps, not a problem for us as , we only had overnight bags. Thankfully we didn't book longer !

We have stayed at this resort prior to what seems to be new management. We checked the room rates on their web site and with them noted arrived last Thursday.The low season, standard room rate was quoted on the web site at 800 baht however on arrival we were quoted 1,700 baht because we hadn't booked via the internet.I said to the girl OK I will sit in the car and send you an email is that ok? no she said you are already here,its 1,700 baht.I have managed and owned resorts and this sort of nonsense beggars belief.I should of course have asked to speak to the manager but we just left politely never to return.A km later we found another resort with no such ridiculous policy.

We booked this resort relying on the pictures (nice) on the internet. The surroundings are very nice with flowers and a stream. Although almost all the big bungalows were empty, they assigned us a bungalow really awful: tiny room, unadorned, with thin walls, not even a chair to place our luggage, bathroom small and spartan, beds and pillows hard and not comfortable. Breakfast poor and low quality. Staff rude.

This place is beautifully surrounded by forest, filled with flowers, kind people and playful cats. Every cottage is designed in a different style and building are spread all over the place in a different levels giving you your privacy and peace. This place is huge and incredibly lush. It has an amazing pool built higher up giving you an amazing view. Also breakfast is served on the terrace of a building on top of the hill giving you one spectacular view of almost entire place. There is also a magical craft village having some interesting courses on offer. I am very satisfied with mine batik/scarf painting course. I have noticed they can also arrange a cooking class for you. This family run place is perfect for relaxation, couples, families with kids, honeymoon and even a wedding parties. I can truly imagine to stay here for very long time if not forever. Been here for 4 days and feeling like at home already. Thank you.
