🏡La Maison is a collection of homestays rebuilt from 100-year-old traditional H’mong houses, redesigned with modern comforts while preserving the rich culture of the highland ethnic people. 🌿 No pool, no TV, no AC, but always hot water, internet, and warm blankets. Simple, beautiful moments like wildflowers and the feeling of touching the green mountains. 🌿 📍 8km from Sapa, 30 mins by taxi 🏡 Peaceful, nature-filled, with ethnic minority neighbors 🐕 Dogs, cats & chickens go around The space 🏠 Staying at La Maison means experiencing life in a traditional wooden house of the Hmong and Dzay people. If there are no other guests booking, the whole cozy house is yours, with your own private home space. And if there are other guests coming to stay in the same house, you will interact and make friends with them (this depends on your fate and guests). 🌿 The mountain view changes with the seasons—always beautiful and peaceful, even on foggy or rainy days.
