We were very impressed with the fern resort from the moment we arrived. The staff were so charming and welcoming. We both arrived quite poorly and they were so attentive to our needs snd provided cut fruit and ginger and lemon tea to our room, let me stress we did not get ill here but at a previous accommodation, these folks helped us. The facilities are amazing and the location, trees, greenery , streams and swimming pools just so well thought out and presented. I wish we could have stayed as it would have been the perfect recovery location, a very special thank you to all the lovely staff for looking after us so well.

“Tropical Beauty on the Mae Hong Son Loop”

This was a real find. You must stay here for a couple of days if doing the Mae Hong Son loop, accessible by car or motorbike. It is not far from Mae Hong Son and is absolutely magnificent. Tranquil and with such tropical beauty. The rooms are spacious little huts with a large main area with very comfy bed and a ensuite that is also spacious. We also had a small verandah. There are 2 pools on the property with the infinity style pool offering great sunset views. The gardens are beautiful and abound with butterflies. The resort also has a coffee shop and restaurant for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Our breakfast was included and delicious. Whilst there we also had an amazing and relaxing massage. We only planned to stay one night however this place was so special we added another night!!

“Well worth your visit if you want a natural eco jungle visit while not roughing it!”

After growing up, visiting and living in and around MHS for many years, I finally spent a few nights at the Fern Resort.

After growing up, visiting and living in and around MHS for many years, I finally spent a few nights at the Fern Resort. I’ve always known it was the highest rated accommodation in MHS but I was surprised at how beautiful it was and how extensive the grounds are. It was much larger than I thought with many rooms/cabins and enough space to accommodate them all scattered around rice fields and jungle paths. Each room/suite is similar but the view from the veranda/porch will vary depending on the location. Even if it is at full occupancy, there are quite places to sit and be still throughout the property in addition to the 2-3 coffee shops, dining and other areas. Rooms are well maintained with a few minor maintenance issues (see photos). Staying there in the dry hot season you will quickly realize you are in a literal oasis of green as surrounding hillsides are parched and dry but everything in Fern’s valley is still lush and green. It’s just a lovely place – very relaxing with much to explore - just on the grounds - let alone if you venture off on one of the nature/adventure trails. For the price you cannot go wrong. Staff are friendly and the majority are local hires who live in villages close by. It is 7-8 km outside of Mae Hong Son town so having your own transport definitely will make it easier but they have regular shuttles that can take you back into town. But if you want a few relaxing days surrounded by nature, this is the place to stay. You won’t be roughing it. As far as Thai eco retreats go, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommended.

“Beautiful location, good concept but showing signs of dilapidation and lack of firm management. Not really for disabled”

Excellent location, lovely climate, friendly and keen staff and , mostly, well kept and very clean facilities.

Excellent location, lovely climate, friendly and keen staff and , mostly, well kept and very clean facilities. Although their menu has no ‘western content’ the Thai/Chinese menu, although limited, was some of the best food we have had in Thailand The downside is that it is starting to show signs of decline. The rooms are just staring to look sad and outdated - eg our toilet leaked clean water onto the floor and the shower had little pressure, and the grouting needed replacing The breakfast menu was very limited with no cereal; and the butter was rancid but the staff couldn’t understand the problem. Also the dining room was inhabited by 4 dogs which were being fed by the staff and some guests! But don’t be put off, they are warning signs for the future, not a reason to stay at a lovely location now! It is not suitable for wheelchairs and the slopes make walking with a stick very difficult B
