Smoking friendly vacation rentals in Kannan Devan Hills

Great stay at Podiyans. Everything was clean and in working order, the workers were very reliable and diligent in keeping the place as advertised in the photos. Recommending Podiyans to anyone interested in staying in the area.

The location and view was breathtaking. We loved that it was a private space, with an outdoor seating. The caretaker Shijo made amazing, affordable meals for us, and helped setup campfires in the evening. We had a great time. The property is located uphill, last 200mts towards the property was a narrow road but the caretaker was helpful when we came the first time and offered to drive our vehicle if we weren't confident with that stretch. We had a great, relaxing holiday with family. Thank you so much for the amazing hospitality!

Caretaker was great and accommodating. Helped us order our dinner and also beer (: Really peacefully place. Can't hear traffic at all. Bed was comfy. Some things to note: There's no aircon but you don't need it at all. You will have to walk down a trail of stairs (mud and stone). So be prepared and best if you bring backpack instead of roller luggage. I had no issues with this. The bathroom does not have piped hot water. You will have to boil in the kettle they provide and have a bucket shower. I had no issues with this. Not much to eat or do there. Really just go and chill with your book or boardgames.

The Planter''s Foyer is in a magical place, Kamballikad. It is the result of friends and families coming together under the shared vision of natural building and nature based living. The architectural touches are just divine, from the use of natural materials like stone, wood and reclaimed stuff, to antique pieces and soulful stuff dotting everything - it is quite something- a class apart from the average concrete monstrosity put together usually in Kerala. We booked for two days and stayed on location the whole time. Making walks to find sunrise and sunset spots, to being served meals three times a day by the caretaker Shijo- which had its highlights: Idiappam, the pork curry, among many things. I loved the skylight in the bathrooms, the shade for the lamps, the wooden boxes for all electrical fixtures. The last stretch to the location is a task for the unseasoned driver, the cllimb is very steep and I struggled, but we could have utilised the caretaker's offer to drive up

Very well maintained and a beautiful place to stay.. will definitely visit again

The stay at Swastham was great and unforgettable experience. Mr. Joy was so helpful and very friendly. The bungalow has a massive plantation where Mr. Joy took us for visit, it was so pleasant and informative. He described about the plants and cultivation process, my kids and wife enjoyed very well. Had homemade foods daily which is so tasteful. One day Mrs. Joy cooked traditional Kerala style breakfast and it was truly tasty. Every morning we wake up by hearing beautiful sounds of the birds and hot coffee and sit out is unbelievable. There are two caretakers and they were very friendly and we felt like staying in our home. I highly recommend this place. Truly truly amazing. Thanks Mr. Joy sir for this beautiful trip and your love towards organic farming. Regards, Jeeva and family.

We had a great time at Aida Villa. Initially, we were sceptical about staying 12 km away from the city, but it was the right decision. The balcony views from Aida Villa were spectacular. Mithun was such a friendly host - always greeted us with a smile and helped with everything possible. I'd highly recommend the place. It's quite an experience.

Amazing Stay – Highly Recommended! I recently had the pleasure of staying at Nidra Homestay, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and beautifully decorated, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. One of the highlights of my stay was the excellent service. The host Mr Anandhu was friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with any requests. The amenities provided were top-notch, including features like a fast WiFi, air conditioning, or a well-equipped kitchenette. The location was also perfect—close to nearby attractions, restaurants, or transportation options, making it very convenient for exploring the area. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and would definitely stay here again. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay!

Joby's place is a great place to stay if you're opting for some peaceful private vacation. The house has all the basic amenities. One thing to keep in mind is to plan your food requirements. Recommended to pack your groceries if you can cook as they have kitchen with gas stove and utensils or you can purchase in the nearby shop ( Timings are important ). Hotels are not very accessible but Joby/host will arrange if you're not in a position to cook. Other than that the place Mankulam is so rich that is filled with nature and beautiful people. Do visit once.
