the Deyishe Inn in Thousand Island Lake

We enjoyed our stay at this inn. The location is very peaceful and quiet, and the views from the restaurant area and rooms were fantastic. We didn't meet the host in person, but they were very prompt to our messages on WeChat and helped us communicate with the kitchen staff about our vegetarian requirements. The food was probably the best part of the stay, we really enjoyed eating a variety of vegtables and tofu cooked in classic Chinese cuisine style. The host also helped us after we were accidentally checked into the wrong room, despite it being after 11pm when we arrived, so we were very thankful for their assistance, though we never saw anyone behind the reception desk on site. It's a great choice for anyone looking to get away from a big city, we had a very peaceful and relaxing trip!

I cannot even begin to describe how amazing our stay was at The Deyishe Inn. The location itself is right on the lake with the most spectacular views. At night the sky was filled with stars creating the most romantic setting. The staff were friendly, kind, welcoming and made us feel at home. They cared about our needs and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was the best it could be and more. In the evening, we went and watched the local show, and the hotel helped us purchase the tickets and made sure we got there okay and were constantly making sure we had everything we needed. Located 10 minutes away from the local beer museum and town, it is also close enough to enjoy some tourist attractions while still giving the scene of escaping to paradise. If you want a getaway that is worth the money and will give you life-long memories, I cannot recommend The Deyishe Inn enough!

We LOVED our stay here; we were so happy with our choice in hotel 🙌 Jason, the owner, went above and beyond for us every moment he could. He was so quick to offer assistance, anticipating our every need, and of course any little thing we asked about he was happy to help with. Despite a language barrier, communication was great. Thank you so much for everything! And besides amazing service, the location is perfection and the rooms were comfortable, clean, well decorated, and most importantly look out onto a gorgeous little section of the lake! The hotel is located equidistant from Qiandaohu and Jiande railway station, nearby enough to the main town (as well as the beer "town"), but separated enough to feel isolated, with its own little cove. The views are fantastic and kayaking, swimming, fishing, etc. is right at your doorstep. Food is good too 👌 Jason can also help you arrange transportation if you don't have your own. We really enjoyed our short stay here, and one of us even extended their stay because they couldn't bare to go back to the city so soon 😜 Definitely the perfect hideout for a relaxing weekend. Highly recommend, especially for foreigners looking for a slightly more budget option on the lake 💯

The place is quiet and nice, The service is super friendly, Nice for a relaxing weekend!

Booked this stay very last minute and we were not disappointed. It’s an absolute gem of a place - it’s nice and quiet, beautiful views and close to the city (if you have a car or moped). Nothing was too much trouble for the owner who stayed up late for our arrival, gave us a free upgrade and helped store some food for us, as well as help make my breakfast (as I have specific dietary needs currently). We cannot speak highly enough of the owner and how helpful and kind he was. The room was lovely and clean, quiet and the standard breakfast on offer was delicious too. We also saw some guests order dinner in the Homestay which smelt delicious. It’s a must stay.

Nice inn. Host is very friendly and helpful. Amenities are good. Food can be pre ordered and served at any time, the food is delicious, maybe they could include more options for breakfast (fruit, milk). Location is a little remote to the city.

The hotel is located on an isolated cove of the lake and therefore is a bit off the beaten path but very idyllic. The rooms are clean and spacious and the main areas are simple but functional. The real selling point - other than the view and clam - is the cuisine. Tell Jason what you want to eat in a timely manner and the chef prepares it for you. We loved the eggplant and potato dishes as well as the homemade dumplings. The prices for dinners and lunches are really more than reasonable. Possibly the best service I had in 5 years of traveling in China.

Had an amazing, relaxing time. Would recommend!
