The staff was excellent and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. The amenities were very good and the location was really nice.

Mesmerising, amazing for families who want an escape from rest of the world.
Pros:

One of the most beautiful properties I have ever been to. Such a humble staff, especially Mr. Bipin and Mr. Vijay, don’t really remember the other names, but each one of them who assisted was truly cooperating and helpful in the best way possible. Amazing food and hospitality.

Cons:

I think, nothing.

Pretty gem tucked away in the mountains
Pros:

Great experience end to end. Even before we reached, we got a call with key travel information and directions.

Unlike most mountain hotels, rooms here have tall ceilings and tall French windows, are very spacious, and are very tastefully done. Large balconies provide a great view of the mountains and apple orchards. All I could hear in the morning was birdsong and sound of the stream in the distance. Spotted several birds and a wild mountain goat just from
my balcony!

Every member of the staff is eager to go over and above to provide a great experience. Bipin leads a great team - Vijay (Service), Balwant (housekeeping), and chef Sandeep.

The owner is closely involved in personalising the food experience. We had several dishes from the local cuisine expertly made by chef Sandeep. Bichhu ghaas ka saag, chaisu, jakhiya aloo...and many more.

The restaurant is pretty and provides great views of the mountains.

The cottages are near a beautiful little village which makes for a good early morning or evening stroll. Locals are very welcoming and willing to engage in a conversation.

Would love to come back again some time !

Superb
Pros:

Everything was so perfect, food, location, service, view.

Cons:

The matresses could have been little better, as we prefer hard bed (Cotton beddings) for longer stays. Those foam matresses are not our preference.

Amazing property, with a view amazing untouched montains.
Pros:

The view from my cottage was amazing, the mountains range in front is untouched. This was the best ever view I have ever experienced from the luxurious, tastefully done cottages.

The peaceful afternoons, the music of the birds and trail to the nearby waterfall is something that will stay with me.

We enjoyed the Garhwali thali, loved the fact that some vegetables were cut from the garden after our order. The food spread was great which above our expectations.

We stayed for 6 Nights. We checked in the night around 8:00 pm.

Day 1- Trek to Gurson Bugiyal in the day and evening at the resort with Amazing Gharwali Thali.

Day 2- Trail to the nearby Village, visited the small the water body near the village temple. Lazy evening gazing the stars.

Day 3- Badrinath and Trek to Vasudhara Falls, this is an easy trek with a great view.

Day 4- Relaxed in the resort, listening to the music of the birds around with a bon fire in the evening.

Day 5- Again Bored ourself in our lovely cottage at the resort.

I would love to visit again in the winters hoping to catch the snow and try my hands on skating.

Cons:

Time to travel, but i guess that the reason for the beautiful views.
