A look around

What's here

The drive from Dharampur is on a single-lane road that winds through the hills. The air gets cooler, cleaner. The home is a collection of buildings set among tall pines on a slope. You will hear birds, and not much else. This is a large home, with 37 individual rooms spread across the property. Each room is its own space, designed to feel like a warm cabin with wood-panelled ceilings and large windows that look out into the forest. The beds are plush, the bathrooms are modern. Some rooms have a jacuzzi-style bathtub, while others open onto their own private, temperature-controlled plunge pools with a small waterfall. The heart of the home is the common areas, including a large swimming pool and garden. The staff is warm and attentive. As one guest, Uday, noted, "A special mention goes to Mr. Ankit, who took exceptional care of our anniversary plans." Another guest, Manuj, said, "Waking up to the sounds of birds and the fresh, crisp mountain air was a daily joy." The food is prepared fresh, and many find it has a home-cooked feel, especially the breakfast spread. There is also a friendly resident dog. "If you are a dog lover, don't forget to meet their inhouse pet BUZO. He's Pawsome!!!!"

“My stay at this property was very pleasant. The rooms were comfortable, and the overall service was commendable, especially the F&B offerings. 🍽️ However, room service experienced delays, with calls not being answered promptly, leading to a half-hour wait for water.
