Vacation rentals with a firepit in Cát Hải

I spent two peaceful days in Lan Homestay, just what I needed for a quiet moment alone, away from the hustle and bustle of Cat Ba city. Access is great: a speedboat (between 500k and 700k VND) offers a nice trip into the bay, followed by a small golf cart to the village, already an adventure in itself. Even though there is a little bit of traffic with tourists by bike or hike in the park, the place remains quiet. The setting is beautiful, soothing. The family is adorable, the food delicious (special mention of coconuts ), and the garden is cared for with a lot of love, it feels. The hike nearby is a little strong but the view is worth every drop of sweat. Loved this little cocoon, I was like a queen. Big up to little brother, super attentive and helpful, a pearl 🤗

The best Airbnb I had! Loved it! Food was delicious. Thank you!!

This homestay is amazing! In Viet Hai village, a traditional Vietnamese village in the middle of a national park. The homestay is gorgeous and Hai and Chilly were helpful, professional, and friendly. The food provided was delicious and the village and surrounding park are bucolic. I recommend this place wholeheartedly!

I could go on about how amazing it was to stay at Yen in Hidden Valley! Our hosts went out of their way in every instance. The food was probably some of the best throughout Vietnam. They helped organize a guided morning hike with the sweetest local. They organized an afternoon of boating and kayaking to see the bioluminescence. We were able to rent scooters to go into town. They even drove us to town the last day so that we could catch our bus to Ninh Binh. The accommodations were comfortable and very relaxing. I highly suggest staying here if you’re heading to the island.

Thu Ha is the perfect host, getting to the ancient house was both adventurous but also so easy with the help of Thu Ha. We had a wonderful time at the ancient house with the most beautiful view and really good food. It’s a place to find peace and quiet. We would definitely come back, it was the most beautiful place in Vietnam we have been to.

on the last day of our stay, we ran out of fuel and were stranded in the middle of nowhere, just 30mins before our bus to Hanoi. The host saved us, picked is up and we made it just in time. She's the absolute best!
