Cottage vacation 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.

A beautiful property set amidst apple trees. The house is the same as shown in the pictures shared by the host, Shahnawaz ji, with ample garden area to play in. We found the house and the host to be warm and inviting. Shahnawaz ji was very helpful and guided us through our planning and traveling phase of this holiday. He is a gem of a person and quite helpful. Also helped us get in touch with someone local who helped in guiding us perfectly for the entire 10 days trip to the valley. This property is located around half an hour away from Srinagar city and they have only a couple of eateries around but not pure veg which is found only in main city. The kitchen , at the property,is stocked with basic cooking utensils and Shahnawaz ji has kept few spices and other essentials to help the guests in case they wish to cook their own meals. There is a RO unit fitted in the kitchen to get clean drinking water too.

Nabeel was super responsive and helpful. They easily accommodated our request for a late checkin and early checkout. Nabeel was very warm and welcoming. Thanks for the amazing stay.

View from the room is just picturesque. The host was flexible with the late check in too

The place is exactly as shown in pictures and the is surrounded by beautiful views. The cottage has all the amenities you can need and also has great interiors. Special thanks to the caretakers Ajay and Vinay who are really helpful and take care of all your needs.

great place with great view jacuzzi overlooking the mountains was mesmerizing staff was helpful mr. shreyas helped for local guidance overall great place

If there were 1000000 stars , i would give this experience all of it. I have been to Himachal quite a few times and trust me i have been to enough, if you wish to have a stay right in the lap of nature, this is it. The walk to the swarg home, swarg home itself with its attention to detail, the trails around, the cafes, the aptly quiet naggar village are all just INCREDIBLE . Yash ji, Veena ji, Deepu bhaiya , chikki are very warm, very welcoming and make you feel absolutely at home, right from the time they pick you up, till the time they drop you, ufff, there is a lot to learn from them in terms of hospitality. The home cooked food , the birds chirping , the stunning views of the snow capped peaks , the seclusion from the outside world and still being just 15 mins walk away from the pretty main Naggar market makes this the bestessst stay ever. A perfect place to put all your guards down and still be handheld by the mother nature. Can’t wait to come back already♥️

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

Gazal is a good host and gave us the elaborate instructions well in advance. She also helped us with the local recommendations. We had a peaceful stay during our visit. Overall a relaxing experience.

Scotty’s house in Khopoli is a wonderfully chill and relaxing retreat. It’s especially perfect for women travelers, offering a safe and comfortable environment. My friend and I enjoyed our stay immensely, and our two dogs, Uno and Ellie, had a blast running around in the spacious courtyard and exploring Kalote Lake, which is just a minute’s walk away. The cozy ambiance, complete with the soothing background of chirping birds, made it the ideal spot to unwind. Highly recommended!

scenic locations or the countryside, are frequently praised for their stunning views.

Leena is an amazing host. It’s one of those places where you’ll get the real Himalayan hospitality. We felt right at home, the food was simply amazing, might have gained a few while I was here. The staff, especially Chandan (since we only interacted with him) is extremely polite and helpful. The space is very cozy, and the views around the place are breathtakingly beautiful. I’ll definitely be back as soon I can.

it was a beautiful stay by the backwaters. very responsive hosts and made us feel very comfortable. they even took care of my dog when we went out for a few hours. The food was also top notch. overall a wonderful experience. Will definitely recommend

Host - Aunty is responsive, helpful, and chatty. You'll enjoy her company. You can make special requests in food or anything else you might need ;). Location - It's located down the road, there are two paths to take, 1 easier, 1 tougher, both adventurous and beautiful. Hosts (Aunty, her husband and DIL) carry your luggage to and fro. The place is isolated from the road and other stays, and provides a quiet stay experience. Rooms - They are clean and spacious, large washrooms, beautiful balconies that can accommodate 5 people each for the chai-siddu-view chill mornings. When we visited they were still building the tree house but it looked nice. Food - Aunty feeds you home cooked, clean, tasty food - whatever you request. The siddu's are fantastic and the ghee is to die for.

Sachin and Jaypal are best hosts and people you would want to reachout with all suggesstions, and help. This was my 5th visit to their place, and their cottage is very spacious, with friendly staff. I prefer their cottage more is because of their warm hosting and pet-friendly place with spacious lawns. You must try their kitchen menu, with multicuisine options, it is so good. Also thank you for providing me with hot water bags, they really made my bed warm and cozy. Special thanks to Rohit for his active service throughout.

This place is very peaceful and serene. It is located amongst jungle where you can take a walk. I visited with my labrador and we never put him on leash here. He enjoyed a lot running around the property. The home made food is delicious. If you are looking for a peaceful vacation with a lot of activities, its a must visit.

I must say we had a wonderful time at the property. We (me and my wife) work and we were looking for some peace and tranquility. We got both, thank you for having nice caretakers at the place too. Overall we have decided to come back again 😀

Such a beautiful and cozy property. Felt right at home and peaceful. The place is well maintained and rooms were squeaky clean. You get a partial view of the lake but more importantly the wide view of green hill tops is even more pleasing to the eye. The hosts are very responsive and polite. wish them best !

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Pine Wood Cottage, and it was an unforgettable experience! Nestled amidst serene surroundings, this charming cottage offered the perfect blend of comfort and nature. The view was breathtaking—rolling hills, lush greenery. The cottage itself was beautifully maintained, with a cozy yet modern design that made it feel like a home away from home. The upstairs room is the star of the property with a beautiful view and plenty of sun in the morning. The kitchen is well stocked as well. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat or a romantic getaway, Pine Wood Cottage is a gem. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to unwind and reconnect with nature. Can’t wait to return!

It is such a warm and cozy place with such a magnificent view. It felt like home away from home. The house staff Sonu and Nishant were very helpful and prompt. Sonuji prepared scrumptious meals. Also Faizanji who lives nearby drove us around Mussorie. He was very accommodating and he guided us well. It was overall a very memorable experience. Im recommending my friends and family to visit and stay here atleast once ! :)

We had an amazing stay at Tragopan Chalets, Tandi! The wooden rooms were not only beautifully designed but also incredibly cozy and comfortable. The views from the chalet were absolutely breathtaking—waking up to those stunning mountain and valley vistas was a highlight of our trip. The caretakers were extremely warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The food was another standout—every meal was delicious and prepared with so much care. It truly felt like a perfect mountain getaway. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for peace, beauty, and great hospitality!

Had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb in Bhimtal! The location was peaceful with stunning lake views, and the property was clean, spacious, and well-equipped. The host was incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Bhimtal is a charming spot to relax and explore. Highly recommend this place for a tranquil retreat!

The accommodation was excellent, making our stay truly enjoyable. The hosts were warm, responsive, and proactive. The food, served based on the menu, was delicious, with our top recommendations being Rara Chicken and Rajma Chawal. They also guided us to nearby attractions, providing clear directions. Additionally, Door Ji assisted us in coordinating with local taxi services, ensuring smooth travel and a hassle-free return. I highly recommend this cottage for a vacation—it’s a perfect choice for families or groups.

It was beautiful place to stay with clean washroom and bedsheets Good food good Ambience the only hitch for people especially ladies in 50s and plus have to climb up...which some aren't used to at all...otherwise all is good
