  • Could one big room accommodate 3 people?

    Hi, You could check out our web site to find some rooms to fit 3 people. One is Doris Room which we could add an extra mattress to fit 3 people. And Catmily Room has 2 queen-size double beds which could accommodate 3 people, too. Greg

  • Please may i ask: 1)how near are you to the train station? I will be coming from Taichung. 2) do you have an option to add a single bed? We are two people but would prefer sleeping in two seperate beds - two twins, or one double and one sing

    Hi, 1) If you come from Taichung, you could only take a bus. We are 10 minutes walking distance from the Sun Moon Lake bus station. We are far from Train Station. 2)I'm sorry that we don't have twin beds room. There is only family room with 2 beds.

New DORIS HOME was moved in from January 2017 (and old one was opened from 2005). With the sense of design, you may take a nap after a nice lakeside stroll or biking, sit on the sofa sipping coffee and locally produced black tea, or simply chill out with cats. This property is hidden in a small lane with cat signs. If you can’t find out our secret location, please feel free to call us or ask a local resident.

Neighbourhood information

Only 5 minutes walking distance to Shuishe Visitor Center, 10 minutes walking distance to Shuishe Pier (lake side),5 minutes walking distance to Maolan Mountain Trails. We suggest you could take a ferry to cruise the lake and visit the other 2 piers. You could ride a bike to Xiangshan Visitor Center in 25 minutes or walk to Hanbi Trails in 10 minutes. They are both highly recommended.
