Is staying in a stilted house in a Miao village with kids a pleasant surprise or a pitfall?
1️⃣ Core Features of the Room: When Loft Meets Miao Aesthetics
1. Space Design - Modern Interpretation of Stilted House DNA
✔️ Three-dimensional Cube Structure: Duplex with upper and lower levels, the ground floor serves as a living room (sofa can be converted into a 1.2-meter children's bed) + separate wet and dry bathroom, with a steel-wood spiral staircase leading to the upper floor with a 1.8-meter bed + 1.2-meter bed, comfortably accommodating 2 adults and 2 children.
✔️ Safety Design: Anti-slip strips on the stairs + tatami beds, making it more suitable for young children compared to traditional stilted houses.
2️⃣ Real Stay Experience: The Joys and Challenges of Staying with Kids
✔️ Pleasant Surprises
Space Magic: A 24-inch suitcase and a stroller can be laid out simultaneously, with the private area on the upper floor separated from the activity area on the ground floor. Parents can enjoy the night view of the Miao village in the living room after the kids fall asleep (a rare benefit for family rooms!).
⚠️ Potential Challenges
Staircase Test: The spiral staircase is about 65cm wide, requiring close supervision of children under 3 years old.
Warm Air Conditioning: Dual-layer air conditioning ensures warmth in the tatami area, even in cold weather!
3️⃣ Horizontal Comparison: How Does It Compare to Scenic Rooms/Basic Rooms?
✔️ Child-friendliness: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
✔️ Scenic Value: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
4️⃣ Is It Worth Staying? Three Types of Families to Consider
✔️ Curious Elementary School Students (6-12 years old) (High cultural experience absorption)
✔️ Families with Two Children/Three Generations Traveling Together (Space separation saves parents' sanity)
This is not just a room, but a miniature Miao museum. The duplex Loft family room at Boyun Inn tells a story through its space, making the stilted house more than just a background in a scenic postcard, but a tangible cultural classroom during a family trip. If you are willing to pay a premium for such magic, it is definitely worth being a highlight of your trip to the Miao village.
