This was a trip where we expected the least from our stay, but we got the most memorable experiences in the stay itself. Such cases are rare. Thanks to Ashith for the wonderful hospitality. His eagerness to keep the guests comfortable and happy exemplifies the great hospitality tradition that India is known for. Speaking of the property, it is rich with a variety of local flora. I’ll spill no beans here as Ashith will gladly take you on the tour himself. The tents are of great quality, spacious and comfortable. No issue of mosquitoes whatsoever. Washrooms are well stocked and super clean. There is a nice space for bonfire and guests are treated with some truly amazing bite foods (starters). Ashith treated us with homemade wines which we had to guess. They’re surprisingly unique and one shouldn’t miss this activity. The flavors are really awesome (won’t be spilling any beans here too!) Coming to the food. We’d never expected to have such amazing, homely and authentic Coorg preparations. Every meal was a treat. The guessing games didn’t stop at just wine, it happened for the desserts too and we were equally surprised. I can go on and on, but one has to try to really find out how good it really was. I am personally coming back just for the chili pork. Ashith is very knowledgeable about what spots the guests can visit and everything he suggested was totally worth going/doing. Finally, I am truly looking forward to come back once more to Coorg and goes without saying that this is where I’d want to stay.

Best place to be in, if you are looking for a peaceful stay. Ashith is the super host anyone would ask for; he makes sure of the best stay and best trip you have ever seen. Amazing Coorg Cuisine home made food (specially the dessert); with bonfire and splendid hospitality what Ashith provides will make your stay even better. He treats you like a close friend or a family member. He guided us to a Backwater scenic place, it is small trek with easy trail, that’s where you feel “Nature is not a place to visit, It is home” Also he offers you bikes to cycle around the place. If you come here once, you will never forget it and will come back for sure.

We stayed at Foothill for 3 days, and absolutely loved it. This is the place to go to if you're looking for peace, quiet and camping (with all facilities attached!) along with amazing home-cooked and authentic Coorgi cuisine. Ashith was very helpful with directions and suggestions, and went out of his way to make sure we had access to transport, food and places to visit. The camp itself is well thought out, with availability of clean toilets and hot water, along with spacious tents and access to food and electricity. It rained 2 of the days we were there, but the tents were safe and dry, letting us enjoy the cold weather with zero hassles. We were also able to rent cycles for a biking trip across to the monastery and Tibetan camps, for a nominal fee. If you don't have your own vehicle (we didn't), you will have to rely on other transport to get to the sightseeing points in Kushalnagar, but all these were within a 10km radius and autos and buses are available. Ashith also organized a small bonfire near the camp at night, the perfect place to swap stories with fellow campers after indulging in some piping hot home-cooked pork curry and rice butter balls (DO NOT miss the food here!). A little adventure, and a big dose of scenic views is what Foothill was all about to us, along with the wonderful food and hospitality extended to us by Ashith's family. Definitely worth a stay, as there are so many memories to make here!

It was a very good experience staying at anusha home stay. Ranjith,Jagadish uncle & their family are very friendly. They have two cute puppies sunny & sweety. Overall we loved the family,place & stay.

The experience was great!!

It's awesome hosting by uncle Jagdish uncle they made to us to feel like we are in part of their family .. thanks uncle love the place and hospitality

The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

I went with family (7 adults + 1 kids + 1 infant) and stayed for a night. We had a good night stay. It is very close to Kushal nagar bust stop so it saves lot of time if you have tight itinerary. Hosts (Ranjith and his father) are friendly and very responsive.

It is calm residential place. It is just a KM from Kushalnagar Town and Bustop.

Pros This place is in the first floor of the house while the owner stays in the ground floor. The Verandah on the first floor is a good place to relax if you have kids. Also since I practice yoga regularly, personally I loved it. Another pro is those two cute puppies – Chinni and Sunny – who can be easily befriended. Cons This place needs serious improvements in terms of infrastructure and the hospitality of the hosts. To start of, I contacted the owner Ranjith – under whom this property is registered in airbnb – twice before booking it. We had a warm chat and I conveyed the total guests who are supposed to stay there and he was willing to host us. And hence I went ahead with the booking On reaching the place, I called Mr. Jagadish – father of Ranjith – who guided us to reach the spot. We had following inconvenience in the place 1.Welcome – When we entered the house, we were only provided two rooms with 6 beds which had a common bathroom. But Ranjith had told that we can use the entire property. Then, on insistence and with reluctance, he gave us one more room with 2 beds and 1 bathroom. 2.Hygiene – Ranjith had told that they maintain this place with great hygiene which I believed without any second thought as the owners live in this place. But when we entered, in one of the bathrooms someone had already Pee’d without cleaning up the mess. When Mr. Jagadish was informed of this he nonchalantly asked “Did anyone of you did it?”. I have never met with such a callous reply from the host in any of my trips before. There was no sorry / apology for this. Also the jug that was kept for water was not cleaned. This after giving 4 – 5 days of notice is unacceptable. 3.Heater – This place is fitted with solar heater which is not sufficient for large groups. But again, I have told the total strength including two 1 year old kids before booking it. In both the days we had to wait for hot water to bath our kids. And only on repeated follow ups we were supplied hot water 4.Amenities – In terms of amenities this place has miles to travel to give a peaceful experience for guests : a.When we checked in there were only two towels. One each in each of the bathroom and both looked like someone had used it already. I have asked Ranjith on Saturday October 29th 2016 afternoon for which he said towels and soaps will be supplied. I asked for more towels which was never supplied. But soaps were provided on insistence. b.The Television never worked and there were no channels. c.The lighting provided were low watts DELP BESCOM subsidized bulb. With Rs.15000 for two days, I think there can be better lighting arrangement. d.Fans are at one place and beds are at another place....

The place of course is as beautiful as it gets. The tents and bathrooms are impeccable, the insects are kept away, the place is basically perfect. What sets this place apart, however is Ashiths hospitality. He went out if the way to ensure that we had a pleasant stay. He didn't hesitate about a single request and he even arranged a cake and got it to our tent at 12 since it was my friends birthday. His presence ensures that you won't only have a good stay, but a brilliant experience as well. Things we likes the most - Brilliant pork preparation Home made wine Cycling Recommended lunch places Coffee in the evenings Delicious meals

Review submitted by my colleague who stayed here-- Had a wonderful stay at Ashith's Foothill Camp which also happened to be my first camp style experience. This offbeat campsite is located in a fruit garden next to Ashith's house. The camp felt very welcoming as soon as we entered, with tents placed at comfortable distance from each other and loads of interesting plants and trees all around. Ashith's tour of the orchard was interesting and I got to know many trivia. Comfortable beds in the tents and clean washrooms on either side of the camp site. Charging points close by. Now for the highlights... Ashith is into cycling and there are a few cycles that guests can use. On the first eve we rode down to a popular coffee shop called Coffee Cup where we had some of the best coffee that Coorg is known for. This ride also prepared me for a longer ride early morn the next day where we crossed villages and streams. I would highly recommend the cycling experience with Ashith as you can get to know/see some nice spots that you wouldnt come across otherwise. They are launching some cycling tours as well, would love to go on one of those next time I'm here. After a tiring day like this one would just want to relax with a drink perhaps and some good food, sitting beside a cosy campfire. The expectations were easily met! Got to taste some local fig wine that Ashith's mom had prepared and it was delicious and whet my appetite. The dinner spread that followed was simply delicious (I'm a foodie so can vouch for this part). You would be hard pressed to find something like this in any restaurant. Authentic Coorgi food brought to you piping hot from the home kitchen. So if you are looking for an offbeat exploration but would still like to have some home like comforts then Foothill Camp is a great bet, esp for the personal care and attention given by Ashith!

My first experience as a solo traveller couldn't have been better. The Campsite is located among greenery and beautiful surroundings. A peaceful environment that helps you forget all hustle and bustle from daily life. Clear Sky, perfect weather. Later in night sky full of stars perfected the scenario. Fairly peaceful place to enjoy time with oneself and let your thoughts be free sitting beside the campfire. Other than enjoying nature, I had delicious traditional Coorgi food items which were well cooked and served. The host Ashith was humble and nice and provided me with all facilities and comforts while camping. All round, it was a great trip. An elegant, different and refined experience of life for me. I would suggest others to stay here.

Very good and will ask my friend to stay there if they will visit coorg. Food and Breakfast was also delicious.

This place is much more than what you see in the pictures. The host has done such a brilliant job in taking care of his guests and making them comfortable. His attention to detail is what makes this place such a beautiful campsite. The tents are very clean. Toilets are very basic and well maintained. Could not ask for a better camping experience. We went as a group and loved the place. There are so many different fruits all over the place. It's very beautiful. He even made us try the chillies directly from the plant. In the evening there are bonfires , which you can have privately with your friends. Ashith gave us some beautiful home made wine. The food is a must have during the stay. Especially the pork . If you are looking for some relaxation with nature, fresh air, some cycle rides, brilliant food and a camping experience- this is the place to be. All in all a brilliant vacation spot to be one with nature and forget about our current technology filled life. Cheers to Ashith for all the hard work! And thanks for such a lovely weekend.

Okay! Please read this fully before deciding. The place sucks! Not because of one reason but because of a plethora of them! First, it's 10 times over priced! No lights, No charging points in the tents, Small beds where your legs wont fit and you might as well roll over if you move and absolute zero maintenance cost. It's just in the backyard between trees with no hill visible and two not so great bathrooms/toilets. Secondly, why would you stay in the outskirts of Kushalnagar? Coming to Coorg? Go to Madikeri directly which is 32 kms away! Save time. Thirdly, the tents are definitely not as big as shown in the pictures and if it rains, you close the windows which further makes it suffocating. Fourth, whatever the host might claim, mosquitoes enter the tent even if you open the zips for a moment which you have to if you aspire to enter the unbelievably small tent. Fifth, some reviews claim that the stay was the best part of the trip and that is one of the reasons I made a fool of myself! It is not even a decent place and you would better stay out than return back. Yeah, the host serves you traditional food, receives you well even if you reach at midnight, may be serve some snacks for non-vegetarians and cucumbers for vegetarians (yeah that's exactly what we got!) and if you request, a bonfire might be arranged but you are paying way too much for nothing! Stay in a resort somewhere in Madikeri. Sixth, There is actually nothing nearby. The pictures you see are the private gardens and the world around is not at all similar! Seventh, The host serves wine which they brew themselves but we didn't get that. We were "Fortunate" enough to be served free dinner (I don't know why would anyone pay further for a dinner after all this!) and we just ate as a courtesy as we had taken food outside already on purpose. Most people come here to relax and stay away from the internet and in the lap of nature! Well, in that case good! You won't anyway get internet signals and even if you do, your phone's battery might have died out and the only place you can recharge it at, is the dining space which is not nearby! By the way, if you think that I have no experiences of what a camping is like, I have been to camps and survived in worse conditions. I love to camp out, love adventures, backpacking and I travel a lot but this place is not a all some place you would want to stay at! Not at the exorbitant prices that the host maintains. I don't have any hard feelings as such against the host but yeah the stay was the worst thing that happened to our otherwise amazing trip to Coorg which even involved renting bikes and going for a Open Jeep Safari!

If you are looking for a quiet peaceful getaway from the city, this is THE place to be. Great stay and location. The bonfire and dinner was brilliant especially the pork and the dessert :) Thanks Ashith for being a great host!

The host Ashithi is a very polite and friendly person. He helped us through out our stay. Though you feel like living in someone's backyard, As long as you following the rules, there won't be anyone bothering you. The local food and other preparation was also really nice. Overall the surroundings are pretty peaceful and away from the crowd. The only problem is neighbors, Sometimes they play really loud music in the evening but we sort of couldn't do anything about it. There a lot of fruit trees and 10s of different type of flowers you can trip on and can pluck a fruit right from the tree and have it. It's a bit cold and moist place so there are a lot of mosquitoes. Better to keep a mosquito-repellent handy, though they put "Dhoop" and it works quite well.

My experience at Anusha Homestay was nothing less than wonderful! It's a peaceful location connected well to the town where one can find places to eat and pubic transport. The neighbourhood is extremely friendly and humble. A huge balcony with a wonderful view provided for a serene atmosphere for the mind and soul. The best aspect of this homestay however is the sweet family-like environment Anusha and her parents created for me. Being a solo traveller, I was looked after and felt cared for in every way. I can't thank uncle enough for such warmth and compassion. And of course the lovely food they prepared for me everyday. :)

Anirvaa is set on a beautiful 4-5 acre lush green land that's walking distance from the Cauveri river. The house itself is a simple, yet comfortable, spacious and functional set-up -- boasting a kitchen with tea, coffee, kettle, stove, pots and fridge; a gigantic verandah on which our dogs slept on lazily through the rainy afternoon (post hike, post run!); a hammock to relax on; a caretaker to help run for groceries; and most importantly -- a quiet green surrounding that puts you back in touch with nature. We were here to celebrate my husband's birthday and had a really great time walking by the river (our dogs took a little dip), hiking into the dense forrest/village roads and running on roads with lush fields on either side. I actually beat my own running time -- probably given the clean air! House is clean, tidy, with essentials. The dining area/verandah is large enough for ~5 people to comfortably do yoga together or meditate. Nice - simple restaurants/grocery stores are about a 5km ride away -- Purple palms' is not a bad place for a special evening dinner. A rafting company is within walking distance (~2km) of the homestay. The river and the house were the highlights. Prem met us on route to the homestay and welcomed us with some coconuts and greens from his farm. Prem is a great host with a wealth of knowledge, and plenty of experiences to share. He was kind enough to get me the number of a vet and a doctor before we traveled -- as we wanted someone to call on in case of an emergency. If you are the adventurous type looking to hike/bike or if you are seeking solitude too, this would be a wonderful spot. We felt safe in the area. It is family friendly - given the kitchen and access to a caretaker. We wish we could have spent more time here. We are sure to return -- and we'll definitely be bringing our mountainbikes along.

The place was a nice cottage tucked away in the silence of the forest. However there needs to be some grass that needs to be cleared and could be made less wild, if I may say :) Otherwise a good stay. However Coorg does not have very good places to eat... The kitchen here is pretty well equipped. So you may want to get some stuff to make a quick meal.

Very Nice Place if you want to spend a weekend away from city life.They have a kitchen with all amenities.Only problem was Power outage in the night.We spend our first night without power.I would recommend to place an inverter for power backup during emergency times.

The place was everything that we were looking for...secluded, quiet and away from the drama. We were looking for a place to unwind and also for our pet to run around freely. Prem's place was all that and more. A quaint little cottage in the middle of a huge farm, it was well maintained and had all the facilities to have a good time. We carried basic groceries, thanks to earlier reviews about the place and that helped. Prem was in touch constantly to ensure all was good. His caretakers were unobtrusive and left us alone. Our pet loved the place, as she doesn't get to run around much in the city. Overall, an excellent weekend getaway that will stay in our memories for long.

We were a group of 10 family members and one pet dog. Anirvaa at Coorg is a very quaint farmhouse in the interiors of Kushalnagar. While it was scary the first night of our stay, we got used to the surroundings the next couple of nights. If you need any groceries or stuff, you will need to travel about 3-4 kms to get them, so make sure to be well stocked if you are a large group. If you are the adventurous kind, you are sure to like this place. Prem is very professional and everything was provided for with a fully functional kitchen where we prepared most of our own meals. We were provided extra beds to accommodate all of us in the two bedrooms. He even provided us a brand new tent which the kids enjoyed a lot. We found the climate to be pretty hot and thought that Coorg would be much more cooler than that . So we spent most of the time in the room itself with occasional walks to the river which is nearby and went to other places like Dubbare Elephant Camp, Abbi Falls, River rafting, Madikeri etc. Overall, I would say we had a good time!

A getaway from din and clatter around. Scenic and a beautiful place which is comfortable and if you have your own vehicle, this is the place to stay at.

The host Prem is a very interesting person with so many fascinating stories from his life. He took the effort of meeting us in Mysore before we headed to Coorg. This place completely reflects on his sensibilities and every bit of the place tells you that it has all been done personally. The house is located in the middle of a vast land, completely surrounded by coffee plantations. The place is perfect for a calm sojourn away from the city in the middle of nowhere. The caretaker Rajesh ensures that everything you need is taken care of, with a quick trip around in his bike. Overall, i strongly recommend this place to anyone planning a trip to Coorg.

The caretaker Raju was nice and courteous. The place was not easy to find since there are no boards to indicate where it is but the caretaker was good enough to help us out.

Nithin is not actually the owner of the property and is a broker. So, there is a chance you won't have a room the day you are supposed to check in because the actual owner rented out all the rooms or is holding back rooms to rent out on his own. On the day of the check in, I called the Nithin's phone to see if it was possible to check in earlier but he asked me whether my friend and I were a couple and if we were unmarried. This is a discriminatory policy and it was not shared with us prior to the booking or even after. Nithin said he would call us back in 10 minutes to confirm the room and never got back to us and ignored the calls from my phone. We eventually were able to reach him only after using my friend's phone and he said he cannot give a room to us (male and female) and wanted to cancel our reservation. We later found that he was using this reason as an excuse to cancel because the actual owner of the homestay (Bhagat) told Nithin he did not have a room open when Nithin called him in the morning. When we actually tried to going to the property after the check in time, it took us a long time to find the property even while using the a local auto because the actual location is a few kilometers into the forest than the gps location shared by Nithin and he wasn't being helpful in providing directions. Eventually, we found the place and the actual owners of the homestay were able to accommodate us after we explained the situation. The property itself was peaceful and secluded although the electricity did not come in till after 6 pm and hot water at night was actually lukewarm. Overall I recommend the property but not booking with Nithin.

Great accommodations, great hospitality, and beautiful scenery!

Nice and warm hosts. The challenge was in locating the place at 10PM with no signboards anywhere, and no network for Vodafone users. Breakfast was mentioned as complementary but we were suggested to go to the hotel nearby for it. The hotel guys were not informed of the guests coming there for BF, causing confusion.

We had a great stay! Amazing hospitality, very cordial people and a great location. The apartment and it's surrounding is neatly maintained and it looks beautiful, the kid just loved the beautiful lawn. It would have been nicer to have a small kitchen plus a better WiFi connectivity - but they were not the show stoppers.

Be clear with the number of adults and room you're getting....nishu may not advice u he expects you to book the room n rough it out. Hot water is intermittent and you havs to wait for hours at times. Cleanliness has alot of room for improvement. Great location and good home like cooked food.

Very nice location and Franc has been very helpful.

A very welcoming host, got us acquainted with whats to do around after we settled in. The place is idyllic, quaint and an embodiment of peace. A lovely place for leisurely walks on the bank by the back waters. Witness the local's day in the life as you laze on the porch. No hassles for the car and driver's stay. Left us feeling like a visit to our uncle's place.

It's a wonderful place to have a weekend getaway. Definitely recommend for people who want to go by themselves.

Only thing good is the location. Rooms and toilet not worth the money. Food definitely not worth, breakfast was okay but dinner not worth it. Host was good though. Highly overpriced accommodation.

Very secluded location. No phone networks will work. Amazing food was prepared for both Breakfast and Dinner(extra cost). Great host. Tippu was amazing and took very good care of us.

The property is really nice and cozy. Lot of vegetation. Perfect for a short stay with friends and family.

We had a really good stay at Jaivik Greens. The host was kind enough to guide us to the property, through the way from Kushalnagar. They welcomed us with a steamy cup of coffee. The property is fabulous with the owner's Bunglow right besides the Estate stay for guests which helps in case you need anything but gives you enough privacy as well. The accommodation was very cosy and more than enough for our group of 4 friends. The Coorgi style breakfast was wonderful and so was the freshly brewed coffee. We met 2 lovely & friendly dogs at the property as well. Overall, I would recommend this if you are looking to stay in a estate & need to chill away from the hustle. Would recommend having your own vehicle while traveling here.

It was one of the stays to remember,the place was amazing quite peaceful and lush green in the middle of the coffee estate.Hosts were excellent,they took care of each and everything required for the stay and guided us for nearby places to visit.The morning breakfast was amazing.Its a home away from home indeed.

We had a fantastic stay at Jaivik Greens. The property is fabulous. And the home was very cosy and ideal for our group of 6 friends. Moreover, our hosts Mr and Mrs Ponachha made us feel very welcome. The Coorgi style food was wonderful and so were the bottomless cups of fresh coffee!

Clean and well equipped space. Owner is very accommodating, helpers are always tending to your needs. Food is delicious and coffee is great! Owner is very hospitable and went out of his way to guide us with all aspects of or stay. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet time!

The heavenly location was sheer magic. They say picture says a 1000 words but words and pic didn't do justice to how it actually looked. The food from impeccable, both taste and presentation and served with love.

We stayed here for one day and we only wished we could stay here for longer. The place is clean and tidy. It was a true nature calling experience... We had a good time relaxing and eating authentic coorg style cuisine. The hosts were extremely welcoming and cooperative. They took us around the estate and explained everything....they also got us hand plucked fresh fruits from their plantation. It was the first time we ate such fresh fruits. They even let us take their dogs for a walk. A special mention to the cooks who made really yummy food and fresh juices for us. Would definitely recommend this place without second thoughts.

Loved everything here. Could not have asked for a better place or hosts or food.

Elephant Trail turned out to be a perfect getaway for a large family like us. Tucked away in the lush forests of Coorg, this cosy cottage inside a coffee plantation is a great option for those looking for a relaxed vacation. Over the three days of our stay there, we enjoyed misty mornings, the sound of birds, yummy coffee brewed from home-grown beans, delicious meals, walks around the plantation and short day trips to nearby attractions. Rachita, her father Mr Sannu and the cook Hakim proved to be warm hosts, who created a very homely environment for us. With their beautiful dogs, cats and fowls for company, we had a wonderful time at the property. It must be said that the rooms are exceptionally clean, spacious and offer beautiful views. The fact that the elephant trail runs right by their property added to the excitement. The food however, was the highlight of our stay. Every meal was a lavish spread of delicious vegetarian and non-vegetarian fare that we just couldn’t get enough of. We thank the hosts for this amazing experience. We highly recommend this place to everyone.

We had a wonderful time at Rachita and Sannu Uncles place. The homestay is a serene place and one you would not wish to leave. We had the best food in Coorg at the homestay itself. The dogs and cats made us feel extra loved. Would love to come back.

Very pleasant stay !

Place was clean , scenic , beautiful and pet dogs sansa and zumba we're just friendly playful enough to fill our hearts to going back to this place.... Including the cats, whole experience is awesome.... Would totally recommend this place...

Coorg has some great homestays and you might be spoilt for choices. But if you want the whole package of rest and relaxation, plantation walks, privacy, a small place with not too many people around, experience local Coorg village life, have great local food and awesome hosts look no further than this place. Added bonus: if you are lucky, you might just see an wild elephant from your balcony not more than 50 metres from the homestay. And the food. I would go back just for the incredible food. Go for it.

Great getaway place. Every thing here is amazing. The hosts, the location, the fact that it is literally an elephant's trail and the food. We were vegetarians and throughly enjoyed every meal. Sannu uncle is an awesome host to have, he was so helpful with all the queries and concerns we had. Would love to visit again with family and would also recommend this to my friends. 10/10 this place is solid getaway nest.

The Granary is just off of the main house, its this cute and cozy little cabin in the woods that makes you feel like you've gone into another world. The view from the balcony is amazing and you can spend hours just soaking in the sight and sound of the forest surrounding you. Jyothi's parents are awesome fun, they make you feel right at home straight away. And you can here stories of how they once woke up to see Elephants eating their Bananas - We kept our eyes peeled looking for more after that :p Completing the whole experience is the food - it's just perfect, homemade, super fresh and super awesome. We overate every meal but somehow as soon as the next mealtime came went and did it all over again :)

We stayed at The Granary on the Souland Estates Homestay. I will give a 5 on 5 rating to my stay - Mr JP (as he is called) and his entire family were extremely warm and embraced us like family. The property itself (The Granary and the estate) is done exceptionally well - its aesthetic and comfortable. But I would say that best part are the hosts - I really felt as if I was visiting family. Aunty is an amazing cook - my appetite increased 5 folds there. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a quiet getaway from the city and I assure you that once you are at the estate you just wouldn't feel like going out anywhere. The Granary and Souland Estates a must stay option if you are visiting Kushalnagar or Coorg.

The Granary proved to be every bit of experience it promised. The purity in the air, beautiful green landscape, the serenity & the amazing history behind the place - makes it the perfect getaway from the chaotic city life. Ours was a short trip but we gathered such good memories in that short span. The cherry on the top was the great hospitality offered by Uncle, Aunty, Jyothsna & adorable little Thejas. Jyothi, we missed seeing you! It just felt like a home away from home when we relished upon Aunty's deliciously cooked meals :) We are definitely coming back here, still haven't got enough of the place and the people there :)

The Granary Cabin was everything promised! It looked even better in person. My husband and I enjoyed every bit of the getaway and savoured every bit of Aunty's home cooked Coorgi food. It was such a wonderful holiday with a warm, welcoming family. Thank you :-)

This is just an amazing place to stay. I stayed here for two days and they have been the most beautiful days ever. Mr. Jaya Prakash and his family is very courteous. The food was always amazing. The best part though is the place, it is secluded away from the conundrum of the city. You wake up to chirps of birds looking into the woods. It is a cozy little wooden cabin. Loved the stay, would come again definitely. Recommended to everyone.

Stayed as a couple in Granary for 3 Days.Granary is an experience to be felt rather than described. It is an old granary refurbished and mounted on stilts. We never felt like going out during the stay. It was an ideal getaway from the city life. The hosts pampered us with delicious home cooked meals 3 times a day and the holiday was just perfect for us. Waiting to come back..

This is a private cabin in the backdoors to a wonderful estate. The cabin is very well designed and tastefully decorated. The bathroom also has this spectacular view of the woods, and is secluded with a lot of privacy. The foods prepared by Jyothi's parents were delicious. A recommended place for stay.

Granary is beautiful, the tree house feel, the bath tub facing the greens, serene balcony - the experience of staying at granary was truly unique. Must visit if you ever dreamt of living in tree houses :)

Pleasant stay, courteous host, room was neat and overall a nice experience
