Definitely a place to go back! The place is so much better when u get there that anything u can see on the web! The decoration is simply special, and rooms are amazing! The gardens are beautiful,u have a great view anywhere u look! So much better then anything a hotel could offer! Howie and Jerry will recommend where to... More

What's not to like, much less absolutely fawn and drool over? Both the bedroom and the public rooms and gardens are far more inspiring than the Four Seasons (nearby) or the Mandarin Oriental (about 30 minutes away). If you are considering either of these luxury hotels, you should consider instead staying at Howie's for 20-80% less. Keep in mind that... More

Before arriving at Howie's Homestay, Howie told me that the place was better than the pictures on his website. I doubted it after staying at so many places in the past where the professional pics are amazing and the real place is "eh...." Plus, the pictures on his website are incredible. Well, Howie's Homestay beat the pics and we were... More

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! Howie's HomeStay is excellent for families and young couples. We visited with our 11 month old daughter and our BIL/SIL (no kids) also were with us! I was a bit nervous as this was our first trip with our daughter BUT, once we arrived it really was like visiting our favorite Uncle and Aunt (Howie and Jerri)... More

Homestay is a very modest word for a gorgeous property with architectural street cred, decorated with beautiful objects from all over the globe. And yet a homestay is exactly what it is -- gorgeous as the property may be (the photos on the website speak for themselves), the welcome we received from Howie and Jerri made our experience so much...

Stunning. Refined, classy, elegant and the perfect romantic get-away. Howie is passionate about Chiangmai and has created an architectural masterpiece. Simply first-class. If you can afford this type of Lucullan experience, book it. Bring the one you love. Fabulous

I'll begin by saying that I'm a little jealous that I'm not the first to write a review here, and I'm also a little put out that the first two reviews are so thorough and well-written. Everything that they say is true: the place, Howie's Homestay, and the people, Howard and Jerri, are welcoming, beautiful, and unique. Every effort has... More

Review for a three night visit March 4-7, 2012. A stay at Howie’s HomeStay is a step into a fantasy Lanna world of Northern Thailand courtesy of the vision of owners Howard and his lovely wife Jerri and brilliant architecture and design of Bill Bensley. There are several superb descriptions of the property, so I will confine my review to... More

Paradise comes in many guises. Howie’s HomeStay is certainly one of them. Total indulgence. Total comfort. Attention to every detail. We didn’t know what to expect. We’d seen the gorgeous pictures, talked to Howie and made our plans. As promised he met us at the airport, entertained us with stories of the area on the 30 minute drive to the... More
