Our stay in Naukuchiatal with family was truly memorable. The location itself is absolutely stunning—peaceful, scenic, and perfect for a relaxing getaway.
What made the experience even more special was the incredible hospitality. Naman, along with his mom and dad, were such warm and welcoming hosts. They made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived. The helpers on the property were also very kind and attentive, ensuring everything was comfortable throughout our stay.
A special mention to the three beautiful dogs—they added so much joy and warmth to the whole experience!
Overall, it was a perfect blend of nature, comfort, and heartfelt hospitality. We left with wonderful memories and would absolutely love to visit again. Highly recommended!

The place is simply out of this world. Birds chirping in the morning, calming sunlight, cool breeze and the lovely dogs. The experience is enhanced by the hospitality of Sattu Bhaiya (Caretaker) and the Lovely Owners/Hosts who are always warm and welcoming. This property is thoughtfully designed by the owner himself while keeping is mind the culture and modern amenities. This place is a must visit.
