Mae Rim Valley
Just north of Chiang Mai, Mae Rim Valley is one of Northern Thailand’s most desirable destinations, known for its mountain scenery, luxury retreats, botanical gardens, elephant experiences and outdoor adventures.
It offers the perfect balance of peaceful countryside and easy access to the cultural attractions of Chiang Mai.
“Skip the Four Seasons and the Amans.
Stay here for a unique seven‑star experience.”

Designed Around You
Every stay is designed around you.
From Jerri’s home-cooked Thai cuisine to curated excursions and seamless transfers, every detail is thoughtfully arranged to create a relaxed and immersive experience.
The Pavilions
Rather than a collection of hotel rooms, the estate is made up of seven individual golden teak pavilions.
Open layouts, natural materials and handcrafted details create a warm, authentic atmosphere, where traditional craftsmanship meets contemporary comfort.
Dining with Jerri
Dining is one of the defining parts of every stay.
Each meal is prepared exclusively for your group, with no set menu, no restaurant dining room and no strangers at the next table. Just fresh local ingredients, traditional Thai recipes and the warmth of Jerri’s hospitality.
Guests arrive expecting an exceptional villa.
Many leave talking about the food.
“As good as—if not better than—any world-class fine dining restaurant anywhere.”

The Setting
Relax by the infinity pool, stroll through the landscaped gardens, or discover the best of Northern Thailand with recommendations from Howie and Jerri.
Howie & Jerri
Howie and Jerri have spent more than twenty-five years creating a place unlike anywhere else in Northern Thailand. Their local knowledge, thoughtful hospitality and genuine love of welcoming guests are woven into every stay.
You’re not simply checking into a villa. You’re being welcomed into their home.
“Howie has created his own spectacular category of accommodation. There is nothing else like it. It is unique in the world.”
— Guest Review
“Far more inspiring than the Four Seasons nearby or the Mandarin Oriental — and I have spent nearly 20 years in the luxury hotel industry.”
— Luxury Hotel Industry Professional, Guest Review
“Despite the goofy name,
there is nothing amateurish about Howie’s HomeStay.”
