Mountain Springs Resort
A Family-Run Eco Retreat in the Mountains of Chiang Mai
Mountain Springs is a peaceful, family-run retreat located in the mountains of Ban Huai Hoi, Chiang Mai. Surrounded by forest, fresh air, and open views, it is a place to slow down, reconnect, and experience Thailand in a way that feels real, grounded, and welcoming. Built with care, local knowledge, and respect for nature, Mountain Springs offers a balance of comfort, simplicity, and community. The land has space for couples, families, solo travellers, backpackers, and long-stay guests to rest, explore, and connect. This is not a resort built to impress. It is a place built to belong.

PRIVATE BUNGALOWS
Mountain Springs currently offers three private bungalows, each with uninterrupted views of mountains and greenery.
The Communal Kitchen
The kitchen sits open to the mountain air, designed for guests who want to cook properly rather than just get by. There is a modern stovetop, oven, rice cooker, full-size fridge, and generous counter space. The whole setup looks out toward the trees.
This is a shared space, which means it tends to become the social centre of the stay. Guests swap trail stories here, share food, and wind down after a day in the forest. Whether you are making a quick coffee at sunrise or cooking a group dinner after an afternoon hike, the kitchen is fully set up and ready to use.
Self-catering is included as part of your stay. Ingredients can be sourced from Mae Wang market or arranged through the team.
