Sean’s Guesthouse

Such a quiet and peaceful place, with incredible views. A little far from the main tourist places, but it's only a plus because there are no crowds of tourists and you can see the real life of the locals. The hostess cooks homemade dishes in her restaurant and helped us order a transfer to Linzian directly from the hotel. We would like to go back there again.

Sean wasn't there, so we cannot say much about him. Anyway, his daughter Rosey and her auntie took good care of us. Rosey helped us with transfers and informations (she is an excellent english speaker) while her auntie took care of us on site, cooking express fresh food at every meal we had there. On that, I would suggest to order the meals in advance, because cooking fresh food from zero takes time. The room we had assigned was a lovely wooden nest with a breathtaking view on the mountain. Was hard to go away

Loved our stay here! It's a fantastic place to explore the Lower Tiger Leaping gorge as well as go up hiking in the mountains. It's serene, peaceful and not crowded and touristy like the middle or upper sections. We got the best room with panoramic windows and could admire the beauty of the gorge from the comfort of our room. Another thing to mention Sean and people working with him were all helpful and genuinely good people It's absolutely worth sending a few days at Sean's while exploring the suroundings :)

Recommend. Will bring groups to stay here again next trip. The services are perfect, kind and very helpful

The staff was very accommodating and tried to fulfill our needs. Rosey, the daughter, was very helpful with all our transportation bookings and hike recommendations. For the price we paid, it was value for money. Madam Fang who managed the place while the owner is away, was also very helpful. Great effort for a one-woman show.

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.
