Worth the price. But one problem we faced is that there was no electricity on the day we went there but they had a power backup which helped till night. Food is good and the atmosphere is mind blowing. I will suggest to go there in summer so that you can easily enjoy the swimming pool. Last but not the least it's quite far from Lamahatta eco park

One of the best homestays I’ve ever stayed at! ❤️ Everything about this place was just perfect. From the peaceful ambience to the delicious food, every little detail made our stay so comfortable and memorable. The staff is incredibly humble, polite, and always ready to help with a smile, which made us feel right at home. The service was excellent throughout our stay, and you can truly see the care and effort they put into making every guest feel welcome. If you’re planning a trip, I would definitely recommend staying here. It’s one of those places that leaves you with beautiful memories, and I can confidently say you won’t regret it. Looking forward to visiting again

Located near Lamahatta, but not on the Lamahatta Park roadside. It is close to Glenburn Tea Estate, a few kilometers from 6th Mile. Mobile network coverage is good, with a tower nearby. The duplex cottages are spacious, clean, and nicely designed. If you're visiting between March and October, you may need a fan as the rooms can get a bit warm. The swimming pool is functional, but the pool area could be maintained better. Since the property is relatively new, some parts are still not fully maintained. The food is good and tastes fresh. If you order anything beyond the package, double-check the availability beforehand to avoid surprises. Overall, it's a good option for a relaxing full-day stay or a short getaway. With better maintenance over time, this property has the potential to become a good place to stay for a day or max 2.

We stayed at this beautiful homestay to celebrate my wife’s birthday and to enjoy a family outing with our son. While traveling from Darjeeling, we felt a little disappointed because of the journey, but the moment we arrived, all those feelings disappeared. The place is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and welcoming. My wife loved it, and we had a wonderful time together as a family. The rooms were very well maintained, neat, clean, and comfortable, making our stay even more enjoyable. The dinner served by the hosts was absolutely delicious, and we truly enjoyed every meal. The hospitality was warm and made us feel right at home. Thank you for making our special occasion so memorable. We will always cherish the wonderful memories we created here. As a small suggestion, I think maintaining and beautifying the surrounding areas a little more would make this place even more attractive and perfect in the future. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable stay. We would love to visit again!
