The room is clean and tidy. The landlady is very enthusiastic and has a good service attitude. Whatever we were missing, we asked the landlady to help us, and she would meet our requirements one by one. Ask him anything at nine o'clock in the evening and he will reply promptly. Later, when I left, I forgot my hat to help us deliver the goods. Later, when I was cleaning up the room, I discovered that there was a plug for the charger, and I took the trouble to ask us again. It's really good. I will choose his home again when I go to Anji in the future.

Cleanliness: Very good
Environment: Superb
Service: Absolutely amazing
Welcome fruit: The sweetest plums I've ever tasted!
We went in late July, it was super hot during the day, but thankfully there was a shuttle service that took us everywhere, which saved us a lot of hassle.
The first night, we ate at a restaurant recommended by the front desk, and the food was excellent.
The second day, we went for the 'lazy' rafting experience, also recommended by the front desk. Although it was crowded, the experience was still fantastic!
On the third day, before checking out, we visited the museum and went for a small stream trekking, which was incredibly relaxing.
Overall impression:
The entire scenic area has great aesthetics; whether it's the natural scenery or the architecture, there's nothing visually unappealing.
The people we met and the scenic area itself were very pet-friendly. They treated our dog like family, making the experience very relaxed and natural.
This place is also perfect for very lazy people. The hotel organized many activities and even reminded us in advance to join, which was very thoughtful.
The breakfast was also delicious, clean, and fresh.

Guest UserFull score! The most pleasant surprise of the stay experience is the farmhouse food at the hotel, which really exceeds expectations! The local chicken soup is fresh and fresh, slowly boiling the soup color of golden butter, the meat is tight and not woody, the soup is fresh and mellow, it is completely the original flavor of the ingredients themselves, and it warms the heart and warms the stomach.
The dishes are all hand-held by the grandmother of the hotel. The authentic farmhouse flavor, the fire seasoning is just right, every mouthful is simple and practical fireworks, there is no fancy steamed buns, but it eats the warmth of home. The ingredients are fresh, the taste is authentic, and the dining atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. It is suitable for daily dining or small gatherings.
The service is intimate and thoughtful, the overall experience is full, not only the environment is comfortable, but also the authentic and delicious home-cooked food, it is highly recommended, and I will choose here next time!

The room design was great, and both the elderly and children loved it. They even thoughtfully provided eye masks. The room had a smart smart control system and underfloor heating. Both the indoor and outdoor views were fantastic, especially the hot spring in the bamboo forest. The service was excellent; they responded immediately to every request, even late at night – thank you so much to the young man! Initially, the guesthouse had stopped providing underfloor heating for the first few days of our stay because it was getting warmer, but on the day we arrived, it got a bit cold, and my child liked to walk on the floor without slippers. The owner kindly turned the heating back on – thank you!
We had dinner at the guesthouse: chicken soup, braised bamboo shoots, and braised catfish. The auntie cooked it very well; my elders still rave about it afterward, haha. Breakfast was rather home-style, but the auntie's soft-boiled eggs were delicious, and the young man's hand-drip coffee was also very good.
One small suggestion: could the guesthouse consider allowing guests to choose between regular towels and disposable towels in the future? My child only made this suggestion about the towels, haha. Also, it would be even better if there was an absorbent mat in the bathroom.
Overall, it's good, pet-friendly, and I recommend it.

This guesthouse in Anji Jiangnan Tianchi was such a pleasant surprise! As soon as you open the window, you're greeted by a snowy wonderland with mountains draped in white. The bamboo forest covered in snow looked like a beautiful ink painting. It's super close to the ski resort, making it incredibly convenient for snow activities. The room was clean, cozy, and even had underfloor heating, which made our winter stay super comfortable. The owners were incredibly warm and welcoming; they even thoughtfully reminded us about slippery roads during the snowfall. Their homemade farm-to-table dishes were incredibly fresh and delicious, using only local ingredients. Enjoying the snowy view from the room with a hot cup of tea created the perfect atmosphere and an amazing experience. It's definitely the best choice for enjoying snow in Jiangnan during winter. We'll be back!

zou13This is the fourth Lostvilla I've visited, and it's actually quite close to the first one (Biyu branch) – so close that I even recognized the Heytea store in Anji County where I placed an order last time.
If the Biyu branch represents the original vision, where you could see the founder meticulously documenting every step of his renovation, transforming an old house into a wondrous frame, then the Green Gables branch signifies the transition from an agrarian civilization to an industrial one, entering the steam age. Lostvilla now boasts a mature and replicable business model and values – likely fueled by capital (my guess) – evolving from a personal passion or sentiment into a brand, and thereby rallying a team to consistently pursue a shared goal day in and day out.
Thanks for helping me sort out my room (yes, I cleverly arrived early to check in). I also recommend the 'Dragon's Haunt Rafting' which is about a 10-minute drive from the hotel – I'd call it another 'steam age' version of a tourism product, haha.

The experience is very good, you can go directly to the river from the yard to play in the water. This year, I encountered a typhoon, and the water temperature was low, and it was very comfortable. The dining is rich, the dishes made by the proprietress are delicious, the mother-in-law is enthusiastic, the boss and the baby are very patient, and the life must be a good father.

My short one-night stay felt like a wonderful vacation. I was awakened by the crowing of roosters in the mountains, and opening the window revealed a breathtaking view of lush greenery. The most unforgettable experience was the landlady's cooking – she made a hot, fragrant pancake for me when I was hungry that evening; and the next morning she made a simple bowl of home-style noodles, simple yet comforting.
This place lacked the sophistication of a hotel, but it had the warmth of home. The landlady's hospitality was like a gentle mountain breeze, natural and comforting. She even walked us to the door when we left, a gesture that made it hard to leave.
For that pancake, that bowl of noodles, and for that rare moment of tranquility, I'll definitely bring my friends back next time!

Let's start with the downsides: I haven't seen anyone mention this in reviews, but it's not quiet and can be noisy. There's a pump house right outside the entrance, which is a source of noise at night. The hotel is located on a small road, and even though there aren't many cars, they tend to drive quite fast, so you need to be careful. Next to the main entrance, there's another guesthouse under construction, which will likely add to the noise. Also, Xiaosenlin isn't a standalone property; there's another guesthouse called 'Shanxia Xiaozhu' still under construction within the same compound. I think the guesthouse should have mentioned this; I specifically came during the off-season hoping for a peaceful place to stay with my dog. Most reviews mention it's convenient for rafting in the summer.
The room itself has some issues: the floor is uneven, the furnishings are a bit old and not well-maintained, and it's a bit damp. The showerhead provides a fine spray, but the water pressure is weak. There are quite a few mosquitoes, especially if you open the door – they'll all fly in. You need to keep the lights off inside to avoid them. The refrigerator door opens in an awkward direction and is placed in the corner of the sink area, causing the door to hit the mirror cabinet next to it. The staff who checked us in didn't even plug it in; the owner had to come and plug it in herself. The power outlets are also very hard to find and plug into.
Now for the positives: The overall layout has a very 'small forest' feel, with well-arranged spaces. The glass cafe on the second floor is very elegant and nature-themed, probably the one featured on Ctrip's homepage. The terrace on the second floor offers a nice view. There's a large, very gentle and cute Labrador. Surprisingly, there's a refrigerator, which many guesthouses lack. The switch for the fan/AC was a bit hard to find, and when the remote control ran out of batteries, the owner quickly replaced them. She also recommended a fantastic noodle place in the nearby town and a quiet walking trail along the river, which is almost car-free and about 4km long, winding through streams, bamboo forests, and tea plantations.
Overall, the value for money is quite good, especially when traveling with a dog. The fact that they didn't charge an extra cleaning fee for the dog was a really nice touch.
