Monthly Rentals in Dal Lake

Fozia’s cottage truly lives up to its description and more. This charming little retreat is nestled within a beautifully kept garden, complete with a pergola and a peaceful water fountain right outside—perfect for relaxing mornings or quiet evenings. The cottage is filled with natural light and offers picturesque views from its many windows, so you're always connected to the outdoors. One of its highlights is the cozy attic—a perfect spot to curl up with a book and spend a slow, peaceful day. Located in a clean, serene neighborhood, the cottage is just a 10-minute walk from the lake's edge, making it both tranquil and conveniently placed. Fozia is a thoughtful host who goes the extra mile with her recommendations—she can connect you with a reliable shikhara boatman and a friendly auto driver who offers rides at very reasonable rates. A special touch is the delightful breakfast basket she provides, complete with homemade jams that add a personal and delicious start to the day.

This place was an absolute gem, it is worth every rupee. In fact the price is cheap for the place and amenities. We stayed with my 18 month infant and Aunty arranged milk for the baby. The place was clean, small but had all the required amenities. The local recommendations by Mujtaba was useful. The driver Mehraj suggested by host was helpful took us to all the popular places. The driver knew basic English which helped because of my limited knowledge of Hindi. The entire house, garden and backyard made us feel right at home. We will definitely repeat and recommend the place to anyone who wants a small, beautiful, home away from home with all amenities which one will find at a regular household.

"I was looking for a homestay in Srinagar where my family can find some peace in the beautiful surroundings and where my kid can enjoy the open space as well. This place is exactly the same what I was looking for. My family loved this property. Moreover, the staff is really helpful."

5* Location: Right at the Dal lake waterfront -- almost a houseboat with blissful views and gentle breeze. But without the stench and hygiene issues of a houseboat. 5* Maintenance: Very nice interiors, clean linen and bath, small yet adequately functional kitchenette. And 24x7 hot water that was perfect for the cold weather. 5* Service: We were stuck in gridlocked Srinagar streets (due to Tulip festival) By the team time we checked in to the property it was very late in the evening (~9pm) Caretaker Musa Bhai waited patiently for us, even drove us to nearby restaurants and get dinner, helped plan our visits to Sonmrg, Gulmarg and other tourist attractions. Abid quick to respond to any queries. He helped find local tour operators. Only improvement I'd suggest is to install a RO Water Purifier. Felt guilty almost, consuming water packaged in plastic bottles. (btw this is across Kashmir hotels, not specific to this property)
