There's a variety of accommodation from A-frames huts, to rooms, to bungalows, to 2-3 bedroom houses, to dorms.
We opted for the 500 baht bungalows

BDP was up a lot earlier than me the next morning & took a lot of photos of the resort. Maybe he will post some of his photos to give you an idea how pretty Rim Doi is is...

En route to Muang Khong & just after the caves there is a string of bungalows & resorts; & most of them look pretty interesting, if not inviting.

The Chiang Dao Hut is a beauty with it's spacious gardens & positive tranquility.

Chiang Dao Hut has a a variety of accommodation from dorms to 400-600-900-1,200 baht bungalows

We opted for the "up market 1,200 baht " bungalows with a view of the lush forest on the edge of property
There are only 3 x 1,200 baht bungalows.

The best bungalow

with a beautiful glass frontage on one side viewing the forest & cliffs of Chiang Dao.

the # 2 1,200 baht bungalow

the bathroom, a bit basic looking, but with a super gas hot water system - tough enough for the nippy cold season I dont doubt.

Check it out sometime for a lovely escape from Chiang Mai for the night.
Highly recommended for the fresh country air, peace & quiet.

Malee's Nature Lover's Bungalows. N 19 deg 24.202', E 098 deg 55.613'.

On 3024, past the Chiang Dao Cave and Chiang Dao Hut, further up on the right, is Malee's. Rooms for 600 Baht a night, gas water heater, with a breakfast of home made bread and eggs with fresh coffee.

Malee has been there for decades. She gets all the bird watchers and hikers stay there.
Her husband, Kurt, from Switzerland, knows all the hiking trails and has an exetensive orchid collection.
The resort is set in a luscious jungle garden with about 12 bungalows and a plunge pool, great to cool off in, at the end of a day's ride.

Malee is a very kind lady. Each time I stay she gives me fruit or home made Ba Jang (a meal of sticky rice, pork and egg wrapped up in a bamboo leaf).
She also parked her car putside so that we could park our bikes under shelter.
