Cottage holiday rentals in India

We stayed at Aamir’s place in July 2024 when we visited Kashmir for the first time with our families. Aamir, Muneer and Aadil made the entire experience extremely comfortable. The very day we arrived, we were upgraded without asking for it as they saw that my mum in law can’t walk a lot so we were given the rooms close to the entrance. We arrived quite late (around 10pm) because of flight delays and had no idea where we will find food from at this hour but they made sure that we don’t sleep hungry. They prepared a full meal this late in the night and for all days that we stayed there, even if we needed something at 1am in the night, they were all happy to help. The place is beautiful and very nicely maintained. They have a beautiful garden just behind the rooms where we had breakfast and made some core memories. Aamir also recommended some places to visit and helped make transport arrangements. Thank you for the amazing hospitality. This was home away from home.

We had a truly lovely stay, and I must say, Rishi is an exceptional host. He went out of his way to ensure that we were comfortable in every possible way. His suggestions for places to visit, dining, and shopping were always spot-on and reliable. The property itself is stunning and well-maintained, offering a peaceful retreat. If you're looking to unwind and escape the hustle and bustle of the city this is the perfect place to relax. Highly recommended!

Host was great, communication was timely and proactive.

We went with high expectations and were not disappointed. The place is clean with amazing views and a superb and helpful service staff. The in-house food is good, although slightly pricey. My family had a great time soaking in the views and relaxing after a long day of sightseeing. Take up Shreyan's suggestions of off beat places to visit like Soyl village, you will be thankful. Only thing I would point out, is that the place is about 100 mts from a busy road and there is construction happening is several places around. I hope the pristine views are preserved for the future.

I booked this for a newly wedded couple for a short stay of 2nights . It’s their feedback . They loved the place, the design , architecture, atmosphere, ambiance and vibes . The bath tub was the highlight . Place is secure and offers great privacy . Serene and beautiful surroundings. Homely feeling with excellent assistance from private the staff as well as both Prabhu and Mukesh. Highly recommended. And hope to revisit for a longer stay . One feedback would be more accessible parking.

I’ll truly recommend to stay in Swarg Cottage in Naggar, Manali. The Service, the food, the view and overall cottage is so good. Behaviour of the care taker(Deepu ji) the owner of the cottage(Yash ji) is so nice towards the tourist. If you want to experience a peaceful life then go for Swarg cottage. Chiki(there dog) will also guide you till the cottage and you will love the company of there dogs(Chiki & Coco). I will give 10 on 10 to this cottage experience. Surely i will stay back in the Swarg Cottage if i will visit Manali again.

Magical place. Clean and very well maintained property. Beautiful and tasteful construction. It is a place where you would like to go again and again. Very peaceful surroundings. Good food. Super friendly and trained staff. Very well managed. I visited the place with my family with a small pet dog. There was ample of space for pet to roam around. I am very happy with the experience.

Found the place to be homely, peaceful and super serene. Surely will visit again.

Abhijay is a large airy and bright bungalow with a great view. It feels like how a home should with personal details and some rough edges. There’s plenty of room for a large group and it is a fairly comfortable space. The terraces and rock garden are standouts. The garden is landscaped with a lot of attention to detail and you can comfortably spend a couple of hours discovering its treasures. The kitchen is well stocked with essentials, crockery, and tableware. The only issue you might have (as a large group) is the number of washrooms. There are only two, but you know that going in. Overall, we had a great time. Vaijayanti is a warm and communicative host. Highly recommend!

Had a great time in TGH. Honestly I am flabbergasted by the vibe of the place in respect of overall service food, behavior of staff and comfort, location everything is top 👌 notch. Special thanks to Mrs. Bhagwati and Ganesh they never make us felt like a guest but like a member of a family . The property was great in terms of location, cleanliness, interior, artifacts etc everything was Great and I would love ❤️ to visit again.

Unique place at a good rate close to Shimla but away from crowds and clutter. In a peaceful orchard setting. Views of snow peaks is a big bonus. Food is modern and of high quality. Friendly host and his father who spent lot of time chatting with us, allowing us a lot of flexibility and prompt service. It goes beyond a regular Airbnb, with lot of focus on service and warmth. Makes sense for a large group since there are 2 cottages/buildings with a common area. Good for families, kids. We were there in spring, still needed a bonfire to keep us warm. Must be amazing in winters and we missed the full bloom of the flowers. Kufri is closeby, Narkanda peak is an hours drive and so is Shimla. Work friendly as well, Internet never dropped.

Had a lovely stay, the place is serene and so peaceful. You have to walk around 200 metres down from main road to reach, walk itself was lovely one in midst of nature. Nested in mountains surrounded by fruit orchards. You can not get enough of beautiful view of mountains and valley from the glass window or balcony. Dont expect luxury, its a small cottage but all basic necessities are well taken care of and thoughtfully put in. The place is pet friendly, we stayed with our pet, there is privacy and small sitting area outside each cottage. Also the caretakers are very polite and responsive. Food served was delicious and in hearty portions. Overall had a great stay.

Lovely place to disconnect from the world and relax, especially if one is traveling with a pet dog! We had an easy time finding the place and the location, while secluded, is fairly well connected to the main road. True to the description, we could hear the birds chirping and cicadas humming as we landed, and our dog enjoyed exploring the estate located nearby! One feedback - there are leeches that abound during rains, so a first aid kit being handy would help too! Despite the in-house chef being away, the owner’s wife made yummy breakfasts for everyone, though that meant relying on food delivery! Overall, underrated but must-visit place!

The place is really nice and cozy. It is really serene and beautiful. Great place for a couple. Jacuzzi pool is a bonus. Kitchen has all the basic amenities. Place is near Ganpatipule, 35-40 mins drive. Devghali beach (1 hour 45 mins) is a must visit place. Food is decent, limited options but taste is good. Nearest nearby Restaurants are at 10kms range. Overall it was a pleasant experience.

We had a great stay at Kennedy's place. He is a great host to talk to. The property was better than what is listed on the site. The photos don't do the place justice. It was a cozy 3-bedroom sufficient for 6-8 people. We were two adults and two kids, and had the whole place to ourselves. The home has everything anyone would need. well-cleaned bathrooms, a tastefully decorated living room, and bedrooms. Lots of books, playing cards, carrom, etc, to keep kids and adults entertained. A small garden just outside the patio with a swing is the cherry on top of the cake. Just a 5-10 minute drive from the main market area with a good parking space inside the premises. You can either cook in the kitchen or order Swiggy, or take a stroll for 15 minutes to the market area.

We had a wonderful stay! The place was peaceful and very quiet, set in a great area with a lovely garden and old trees—perfect for our furry friend. The hosts were very responsive and explained everything clearly, making us feel right at home. The local food recommended by Sanya was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!

Lovely place, all away from the hustle, gives you a tranquil and pleasant experience. Surrounded by only nature and it’s beautiful sounds, would definitely recommend. The host was very responsive and helped us in all ways. Special mention to the caretaker who made sure we had a good time.

The cook & the care taker with their highly satisfactory hospitality makes the wonderful stay comfortable. Location is perfect to enjoy the nature, peace along with facilities of homely food & city perks like Blinkit !

Nikhil and Aarti's homestay, Anoop's by Deerwood Cottages, Jagdhar, is an amazing, cozy place! We had selected the place just by seeing the snap of the Himalayan views from their cottage and we were lucky that the weather was clear and crisp and we got the exact same views! The home is very well maintained and the decor is excellent! Host Nikhil was around all the time and was very helpful and friendly. The most important thing that we are grateful for is that the food was customised as per our needs. We were a bunch of people between the age range of 12 to 82! One of my aunts had zero tolerance level for spices, so we asked them to keep aside one small serving for her, in every meal, with zero spices; and they did just exactly that and my aunt was super happy! The meals were tasty too. Thank you Nikhil and Aarti for this wonderful stay! All the best to you! Regards, Prachi and Abhijit & family.

Pala has been one of the best stays I have booked through AirBnB. The house is beautiful and so thoughtfully decorated. Surrounded by fields of wheat in May with the Dhauladhar range in the background, the views are pristine. Some good cafes nearby, close enough to Dharamshala but away from the chaos. Fully stocked kitchen and all the listed amenities are functional. Shoutout to Seema Didi. And finally, Rahat and Puneet were the best hosts we've had. Wonderful couple, super helpful, proactive and responsive. Had the best recommendations. They truly elevated our trip. Cannot recommend the place enough!

A perfect 👌 place for couple of families or a group of even 10 people. Very safe 🤙. Very well maintained and comfortable. U can come back again. That’s all to sum up.

Excellent stay , responsive caretakers . Very flexible checkin and checkout ! 24/7 pool is the best , overall nice ambience and great cottages . Value For Money deal .. Book without any doubts !! 🤍

Property was great. A place that is so beautiful and beyond your expectations in the overall setup and unexpected natural beauty, yet so close to Pune. Great caretakers and awesome home cooked food. The best place you can spend with your close ones or family in the garb of the beautiful nature that is so well maintained by the host, that you'll forget all your worries and have the most peaceful time of your lives.

The hill cottage had an attached jacuzzi pool which was an icing on the cake. A great location well connected to nature. Also, the caretaker Rina took great care of us. Would definitely give her 5 stars!
