Mountain View Hotels in Yi County

"Before coming to Hongcun, I didn't have high expectations, thinking it would just be another old village to visit and leave. However, my stay at 'Hongcun Yike Homestay' made me feel that every detail of this trip radiated warmth. Upon arriving at Hongcun bus station, I was unfamiliar with the area and was stressing about how to drag my luggage across the stone-paved paths to the homestay while looking at a map. The moment I called, the owner's enthusiastic voice immediately put me at ease: 'Wait there, I'll be right over to pick you up!' In less than ten minutes, the owner appeared on an electric scooter, swiftly tied my luggage to the vehicle, and cheerfully motioned for me to hop on. We weaved through Hongcun's winding alleys and past bustling crowds of tourists. The homestay was tucked away in a quiet lane near Moon Pond, an excellent location. You could see Moon Pond just around the corner, yet it was peaceful and quiet – truly an oasis of calm amidst the hustle and bustle. Stepping into the courtyard, I was captivated by this homestay, a renovated Huizhou-style building. The exquisitely carved porch, wooden corridors, and rustic private courtyard exuded the unique elegance and serenity characteristic of Huizhou homes. Inside the room, it was bright and clean. The antique-style wooden bed paired with a soft mattress offered both classic charm and comfort. The night was exceptionally quiet, and I slept soundly. Early the next morning, I opened the window to a beautiful view of the Huizhou-style horse-head walls in the morning light, distant mountains draped in lush greenery, and the nearby sounds of birdsong and fragrant flowers. It truly felt like living inside a traditional Chinese ink wash painting. On the day of my departure, the owner drove me to the bus station as usual, reminding me of other places I hadn't visited in Hongcun along the way. Before saying goodbye, the owner pulled out a packet of chrysanthemum tea from the trunk, handed it to me, and smiled, saying, 'This is our local chrysanthemum tea, take it home and try it.' Holding that packet of tea, my heart felt warm. Staying here truly felt like returning to an old friend's home in Huizhou, thoughtful and considerate in every way. 'Yike Homestay' truly lives up to its name – making one feel 'at ease' (逸) and so content that guests (客) forget to leave. Next time I'm in Hongcun, I'll definitely stay here again."

"Our stay here was absolutely fantastic! The hotel is right next to Nanhu Lake, so we had amazing views of the clear water and the traditional Huizhou-style horse-head walls from our window. It was incredible to soak in the beauty of Hongcun without even leaving the hotel. The breakfast was delicious, with fresh ingredients and a good variety – simple but satisfying. The staff were consistently warm and attentive; whether we needed travel advice or a small favor, they responded quickly and patiently. Finding such a clean and thoughtful hotel in Hongcun was a wonderful surprise and made our trip even more enjoyable."

"This guesthouse is in a great location, very close to the village entrance, and just a short walk from the scenic area ticket office. It's clean, hygienic, and has an antique charm that makes time feel like it slows down. The service is also excellent; they'll pick you up at the village entrance and inform you of important travel tips in advance. It was a wonderful experience and definitely worth recommending!"

"I was surprised at how thoughtful the amenities were in this old house! The air conditioning heated evenly, keeping us warm in winter, and the hot water in the bathroom came quickly, so we didn't have to wait to wash up. The owner even helped us plan a one-day itinerary, avoiding congested routes. Although the room wasn't spacious, the overall experience was smooth and we had no regrets."

"This courtyard is truly lovely, surrounded by greenery. It's incredibly comfortable to stay here, and this particular room has a small balcony, which is perfect for enjoying the view – a great choice! The owner confirms your itinerary beforehand to arrange pick-up and drop-off, and even helps with luggage. They're really nice."

"Location: The hotel is situated within the Xidi Scenic Area. Upon check-in, each room receives two complimentary adult tickets to Xidi, with each adult ticket allowing one child to enter for free. The tickets are valid for 3 days, meaning a family of two adults and two children staying here can enjoy free entry to the scenic area. Facilities: The hotel boasts excellent facilities. The bathroom amenities and bedding are of good quality, and the decor has a charming traditional aesthetic. The complimentary items provided, such as the peach wood comb, toiletries, towels, and cotton-linen slippers, are all of high quality. It feels like you're bringing home a lot of lovely souvenirs after just one stay! Service: The hotel staff are friendly and welcoming, always greeting guests with a smile and patiently resolving any issues. Breakfast is quite generous, and in the evenings, they even provide complimentary chilled mung bean soup and Bingfen (a local dessert) when you return to your room. Environment: The hotel is nestled amidst ancient architecture and traditional gardens. Staying here allows you to truly appreciate the distinctive black tiles, white walls, and blue bricks of Huizhou's ancient buildings. I only wish I could have stayed for a few more days!"

"A truly special and satisfying stay. The owners, a husband and wife, were incredibly attentive and welcoming. They picked us up from the station upon arrival and drove us there upon departure. The courtyard was lovely, perfect for families with children. The accommodation was quiet and peaceful. They even provided a free electric scooter for the kids to play happily in the yard. It's a really great guesthouse, suitable for families, groups of friends, or couples. Staying here made me feel right at home."

"26年新開業的，就在黟縣古城主幹道上，整體設施都很新，室內設計大體上十分優秀，説一下美中不足的地方， 第一，房間的花灑洗澡的時候出水忽冷忽熱。 第二，房間的拖鞋跟瓷磚地面摩擦聲音比較大，起夜的時候和吵到同行人。 第三，馬桶沖水聲音太大，而且廁所門是非全封閉式設計，不隔音，晚上上廁所會吵醒同行人。"

"This is the best hotel room we live during the Huangshan trip! The room is huge and very clean with all Hi tech Smart Control features. There is no smoking smell at all in the room! It also has a very good free self service laundry room that you can clean and dry your clothes, which I have not found in other hotels during this trip in China. The dining area is also very clean. The hotel is very close the Hongchun （宏村）scenic area and close to main road. So, you don’t need to carry all your luggage to walk a long way to get to your hotel. I think that you will have to do that when you live inside the Hongchun scenic area."

"Our stay in Hongcun was incredibly comfortable this time! The room has a minimalist wabi-sabi style and is very clean, which is crucial for a trip. The bedding is soft and cozy, the natural light is fantastic, and the room itself is really spacious, making for a super relaxing stay. The overall atmosphere is very peaceful, not at all like being in a busy scenic area – it’s a wonderful place to slow down and truly rest. The room overlooks a small courtyard filled with flowers and plants, absolutely beautiful and vibrant with spring life. Just a few steps from the back exit, you can reach Moon Pond and the old alleys, making it super convenient for exploring and dining, with a lovely local vibe. The owners are also very warm and welcoming, recommending delicious food and sightseeing routes, and even giving out small gifts. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Hongcun!"
