Chalet vacation rentals in South Asia

My second time here, this time with family. always excited to stay here. the view, the place is amazing. My family loved it too. Will visit again in future. Great host and caretaker. Always there to help you.

A great place. Just what we wanted. The cottage - is not very old. Yet it is built in local fashion with local materials but with all modern 'living amenities' as listed. In keeping with the mountain terrain it is built at 'levels. 'Full of knick knacks, a fire place & so on.... All this gives it a very cosy , yet rustic feel, very authentic & lovable. The cottage does not have a 'living room', but that is compensated by the large verandah overlooking the property. Grand views all day. the owners were present in their other house on the property. Very friendly yet not intrusive. One does not expect such help full caretakers in a airbnb. The caretaker cum househelp cum handyman Mr. Bobby Singh who is on hand 24/7 is a gem. he cleans, cooks, advises(if asked). Plus there is Mr. Anand Singh who takes care of the 'grounds' of the property, who helps in procuring groceries & stuff. Two people to help !!! Almost like a serviced resort . We will surely visit again. Thank you Mr. Sanjeev

Starting with the host first, Peter is super helpful and friendly, he provided clear instructions from the very first day I booked the place, and kept on checking continuously if we needed anything till the time of checkout. Sumith and Raja were helpful as well. Coming to the property, please note this property is in the middle of the jungle, so you get to enjoy wildlife and nature at its best, but please note not everyone has that preference So choice is yours, the place and property clearly matches the description and is perfect for someone who is looking to spend some time in nature in it’s pure and raw form

Beautiful Surroundings, Very Spacious Bungalow, Great food prepared by the Caretakers (Tilak Raj & Pritpal) Dal prepared by them is a must try!! They were very Helpful & shared a lot of information! Road approach of the last 1-2 kms is a bit rough & risky, expert driver should be able to manage. But it's absolutely worth it when you reach the property!!

Charu is a great host, she has carefully designed her place to be perfect for both solo traveller or groups/families. Caretaker is extremely helpful, surroundings are beautiful and quiet. Her place is one of the best Airbnb's I have stayed. Definitely coming back and recommend it. Thanks for hosting me!

a wonderful place to spend time with family. best part is that it's adventurous to get inside the property. Rashmi was super responsive and welcoming the care taker, Pratap helped us with food and everything we needed to make our stay comfortable.

Great place to stay and cherish the nature.

Had a wonderful stay at Ramashish’s place - the local staff cooked us heavenly food and made us feel welcome to the chalet. We enjoyed each evening watching the sunset against the beautiful mountains. The village nearby was quiet and walkable, we felt safe in the area and the gardens at the house were well taken care of and beautifully landscaped. Would definitely visit again in the future!

wonderful property with a great view of the mountains from every nook and corner very courteous staff . freshly cooked scrumptious meals. I wish we could have spent a few more nights at this place .

We LOVED our stay at the villa with private pool. We had a wonderful time at the hotel & the staff were so lovely. The food was delicious; room was nice, spacious, clean; staff were prompt and took care of us well; relaxing but also so much to do; etc! We definitely want to be back as soon as we can! Make sure to wear your sunscreen and enjoy snorkeling / scuba diving in the water with all the colorful fishes. We felt like we got a good price for our money! Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay at this charming, century-old chalet, beautifully renovated to offer modern comforts. The highlight is the stunning view of the Mondovi River, visible from the entire chalet—an experience that felt refreshingly different from our usual stays. It’s an ideal place for family and friends to gather, with a relaxed atmosphere and fewer restrictions compared to other places. A special mention to Mrs. Irvine, the caretaker, who was exceptionally friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. The only drawback is the limited availability of nearby stores for essentials. Additionally, the parking area opens directly onto the main street, which can be a bit challenging during busy hours. Overall, it’s a great place to unwind and connect with loved ones.

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)

The place is incredibly spacious and looks exactly like the pictures. It’s peaceful, clean, and well-maintained, with spotless washrooms. The in-house store is a great convenience, making everything easily accessible. You can spend an entire day relaxing at home, enjoying the serene riverbank views. It’s perfect for large groups, offering plenty of space for activities and gatherings. Whether you’re looking to unwind or have fun with friends and family, this place provides a comfortable and refreshing stay! A special mention to Irene, who is extremely helpful, kind, and a wonderful person to talk to, bringing great vibes to the experience.

Heina is a place for rustic experience combined with necessary urban convenience. check-in was a breeze. Anura was a great host with tips for local stuff. Friendly staff who prepared great breakfast. Getting there can be tricky if you have a huge car - which we did and topped it with checking in at middle of the night. But it was taken care of too... will recommend the place!
