Vacation rentals in Kumily

I stayed at Aneesh's property for a week and it was an absolute delight! The hospitality was exceptional, with Aneesh and his family going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Aneesh has been super responsive, from the time of booking, to dropping me to the nearest bus stand. The highlight was the incredible home-cooked meal, which added a personal and unforgettable touch to our stay. Highly recommend for a warm and memorable experience!

The place is clean and tidy, easy to find. However, an almirah in the room and a electric kettle are two basic amenities that were missing. But surpassing every shortcomings was Aunty's welcoming nature. She was friendly and made sure we were comfortable. Her tea was a mood lifter. The property has a beautiful garden with plenty of flowering plants. You'll also wake up to birds singing from the forest right in front of the place. overall a very peaceful stay which could be made perfect by adding a few basic amenities.

A lovely stay in a perfectly located spot. Only a few minutes to walk to the meeting place for the Periyar Tiger Reserve and amongst lovely shops and cafes. Nithin - the manager- was really helpful and friendly. The accommodation was as described and Nithin even provided us with a kettle as us Brits can’t do without our morning cuppa! We also had a balcony with a lovely view of the reserve. Would highly recommend.

Very nice stay at Thekkedy with Shibu as a very helpful and nice host. Location is very perfect and nice as Periyer is at very close proximity. The view from our first floor balcony is gorgeous at night with beholding some animal movements in nature. Shibu is really helpful arranging auto rickshaw for Thekkedy sight seeing and a cab for Alleppey. Overall a superb one night stay and love to stay again. Highly recommend.

Awesome stay with stunning views from the rooms. Their continental food and buffet spread is fantastic. All activities like Cultural programmes ( Kuchipudi) , cooking classes in the evening, campfire and their high tea with a view were very thoughtful and much appreciative. Their swimming pool is neat and outside candle light dinner spot was good though couldn’t try as it needs to be pre booked before arrival. Courteous staffs especially Harish, Aleena and Maya in the reception were very helpful throughout the stay, they were kind and easily approachable. Room service were prompt and very reliable anytime. Overall a pleasant stay at Mountain courtyard and very memorable moments .

Staying at this ecostay in the heart of a spice garden was a truly wonderful experience. Surrounded by lush green leaves, the place offers a peaceful and refreshing retreat. The hospitality of the host, Uncle and Aunty, was exceptional—they were incredibly sweet, and we enjgoyed talking to them. The staff was also very helpful, making our stay even more comfortable. It truly felt like a home away from home. One of the unique highlights was the cardamom plantation within the property, adding to the natural charm. If you’re looking to escape the hustle of Thekkady, this is the perfect place to relax and unwind. Waking up to the sounds of birds made our mornings even more delightful. Highly recommended for nature lovers!

this was an experience we will always remember - we already miss Molamma and her cooking, the beautiful green jungle and spice plantation, the clean air and spring water from the mountain. it was very hard to leave...especially thanks to Bruno for loaning his guitar. just a magical taste of life on a farm we LOVED it. thank you!!!

From the moment we spoke with Lakshmy on the phone, we felt at home. The warmth and kindness of the family is palpable. I arrived with the idea that we may make a friend over the 4 days me and my partner were there and left feeling like a part of the family. As a guest you are welcome to do things alone; eating, exploring or just resting but after meeting our hosts it’s hard to stay away. We took towels and toiletries, and water bottles to refill. We had time to explore beautiful Kumily and go on some day hikes in the reserve. Lakshmy is so helpful when it came to us organising things. She speaks multiple languages, has written a beautiful book, does incredible work with/for young women in India and is an absolute delight to just simply sit and talk to. We can’t recommend this place enough. Be ready to slow down, live simply and connect with your surroundings. Enjoy!
