Tucked away in the lush garden of a warm three-generation Dao Tien family, Hang Homestay offers a serene and authentic experience in the heart of Sung village, Da Bac.

From Pigsty to Peaceful Guesthouse

What makes this two-bedroom guesthouse truly unique is its transformation. The house now welcoming visitors once stood on the site of the family’s former pigsty.

As community-based tourism grew, families like Ms. Hang’s began moving livestock to separate production zones. This shift improved hygiene and created space for new opportunities—like this inviting guesthouse. Today, travelers sleep where pigs once lived, in a space that blends comfort with local charm.

This transformation is part of a broader effort supported by Action on CBT, which works with local households to design guest rooms that reflect traditional identity while improving comfort, cleanliness, and long-term sustainability.

What’s inside:

• Two private bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom

• A shared living area centered around a traditional fireplace—perfect for relaxing or storytelling

• Garden views and fresh air, especially beautiful during the lush summer season

• Traditional meals available on request

From June to October, guests can enjoy the soothing sound of a small stream flowing just beside the garden. It’s the perfect natural soundtrack for your morning coffee or evening rest.

A Cultural Connection

Not only is Ms. Hang a gracious host, but she also leads a local weaving group. Together with other women in the village, she works to preserve Dao Tien textile crafts such as indigo dyeing and beeswax-resist printing.

In addition, these art forms are woven—literally—into the décor of the house. Guests will find hand-dyed fabrics and ethnic patterns enriching every room.

Moreover, Ms. Hang’s extended family lives nearby. They are well known for their fermented pork and rice wine. Her children also often greet visitors, creating a warm, lived-in atmosphere full of small daily joys.
