Fair warning ... never stayed here, but discovered the link to the place while taking a look at some small, so-called 'boutique' hotels in Bangkok. This Chiang Mai guesthouse was recommended by one of the Bangkok hotels whose website I was viewing.

From the photos on the website only, it looks like a very comfy, interesting place. Thai style in a lush jungly setting. The map shows it to be located close to the banks of the River Ping. I know this area a bit . . . very close to the Riverside Restaurant, which makes it reasonable walking distance to the night market area of Chiang Mai just across the river.
Rates seem very reasonable.
