Vacation rentals in Manjalar Dam

This rustic beauty is a hidden gem nestled in the wilderness, offering incredible views of the mountains and free bird concerts at dusk and at dawn. If you want a relaxing and peaceful getaway with your loved ones this place is an excellent option. And, you won’t need to worry about food and safety, as Mehdi and the caretakers will always be there to help you. Of course, we were told that we could be left completely to ourselves if we wished that, so you have that option as well. This plan also has the advantage of a private viewpoint from a steep precipice, which may be rare, especially for a place that’s affordable. Access to this place itself is a bit of adventure, as it involves 2 kms of off-roading. Although, access to the areas within the premises are steep, so older people have to watch out. Also, the tap water is a bit muddy if you care about it. Overall though we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and it’s pity that we couldn’t plan to stay longer. Kudos to Mehdi and his team!

Ideal place for families and friends. Very fine ambience and every facility was given on just a telephone call. Caretaker has an appreciable character and the food served was very tasty and worth to money

it was an incredible experience. The home was beautiful, spacious, and very comfortable, making it a perfect getaway spot. The well-maintained lawn was a delightful place to relax. What truly stood out was the delicious food prepared there. Every meal was flavorful and satisfying, and the barbecue was a real highlight of the stay. The evenings around the bonfire, enjoying good food and great company, created unforgettable memories. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in Kodaikanal.

If your large group needs peace and an environment free from city noise and pollution, this is the perfect destination.

I had an amazing stay at this Airbnb! The cozy, well-decorated space made me feel right at home. The host was incredibly accommodating and attentive to every detail. From the comfy bed to the thoughtful amenities, it was a memorable experience. I'll definitely be booking here again!

Seems I manifested this stay. Growing up close to NE Indian hill stations, studying etc. always wanted to stay in a quaint, cozy hill top home overlooking the misty hills, watching sunrise from the balcony, have outdoor breakfast in the lap of nature, cooking maggi in hills, having coffee overlooking the hills. All these came true. Latha, Rajni, Selvi big thanks for such a lovely place. The road leading to the place is also very navigable. Walkable & short drive from local market should you need anything. Befriended a new feline friend as well. Latha’s place is just what your soul needs in the hills.

Had a great stay at Lilly’s Cottage in Kodaikanal. The place is clean, well-maintained, and perfect for a quiet getaway. The outdoor seating area is a big plus — ideal for enjoying the weather or sitting around a campfire in the evening. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful stay in the hills.

Had an amazing peaceful stay at this place! Would definitely be back in future ✨

George is an excellent host, very responsive and attentive, always checking in to ensure our comfort throughout the stay. The cottage is exactly as shown in the pictures—clean, well-maintained, and with a neat bathroom. It's conveniently located right on Lake Road, making it easy to find. The area is calm and peaceful, with a beautiful garden that added to the charm. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything we needed, and the portable heaters in both rooms kept us warm during the chilly nights. Priya, the caretaker, is an absolute gem. Her homemade food is delicious, and we ended up not eating out at all because her cooking was so good! She was always responsive to our needs. We stayed with our 1-year-old and 3-year-old, and both of them enjoyed the space and environment immensely. We will definitely visit again in the future. Highly recommend!
