The property keeps things simple and thoughtful, with all the essentials for a comfortable stay. All guest rooms are non-smoking and fitted with air conditioning, crisp linens, flat-screen TVs, and en-suite shower bathrooms stocked with free toiletries, toilet paper, and towels.

Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions sit within a 15-minute drive of the cabin. First, Luodong Night Market is just 10 minutes away by car: one of Yilan’s most famous night markets, it serves up iconic local dishes like scallion pancake, braised pork rice, and fresh grilled squid, alongside quirky stalls selling handmade souvenirs. Second, Luodong Forestry Culture Park is an 8-minute drive from the property: a sprawling green park built on a former lumber mill, it features sun-dappled walking trails, historic industrial buildings, and calm ponds perfect for picnics. Third, Sanxing Green Tunnel is 12 minutes away: a 4-kilometer stretch of road lined with towering bamboo that casts cool shade over bikers and walkers, offering one of the most iconic scenic photo spots in Yilan.

Travel Tips

The property only hosts Chinese-speaking staff, so it’s helpful to have a translation app ready if you don’t speak Mandarin. Book at least two weeks in advance for weekends and national holidays, as cabins fill up fast year-round. Bring a pair of comfortable walking shoes for exploring the nearby forest park and green tunnel, and don’t forget to pack snacks for your terrace evenings – Yilan’s cooler evenings are perfect for stargazing away from city light pollution. If you’re traveling without a car, you can catch a local bus from Luodong Train Station that drops off within 5 minutes’ walk of the property.
