Cottage vacation rentals in Himalayas

if you're seeking a tranquil escape from the chaos of everyday life, this cottage is an absolute gem. It offers an idyllic retreat in the lap of nature, where you can reconnect with yourself and immerse yourself in the beauty of your surroundings. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone in search of serenity, relaxation, and an experience that will leave a lasting impression. Moreover, I must commend the hosts for their exceptional hospitality. They were warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was nothing short of perfect.

A truly serene stay! The property is perfectly located near Aastha Path, right by the Ganga, offering a peaceful and calming atmosphere. Everything was just as shown in the pictures — clean, well-maintained, and fully equipped with all the necessary amenities. The host was very kind and communicated clearly throughout, making the stay even more comfortable. There’s also a nearby shop for any emergency groceries, and we had no issues with parking. Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway!

The villa itself is beautiful—clean, well-maintained, and comfortable with all the necessary amenities for a relaxing stay. However, the location is quite far from Manali, which can be inconvenient if you’re planning to explore the main town frequently. It’s a great place if you’re looking for peace and isolation, but keep the distance in mind when booking

I loved the house and the beautiful surroundings. The host was prompt and responsive to our needs. The place is near to several grocery stores and parking was in the premise which is rare.

Wonderful Stay – Highly Recommended! I had an absolutely lovely stay! The place was spotless, well-appointed, and even better than the photos. the staff there Mr.Anil was incredibly kind and responsive, making sure I had everything I needed. I especially appreciated that Anil made sure everything was clean and we were comfortable at all times. The neighborhood was quiet and safe, secluded and had a great view. The property itself is extremely beautiful, comfortable and has all the amenities one could ask for.

We went with high expectations and were not disappointed. The place is clean with amazing views and a superb and helpful service staff. The in-house food is good, although slightly pricey. My family had a great time soaking in the views and relaxing after a long day of sightseeing. Take up Shreyan's suggestions of off beat places to visit like Soyl village, you will be thankful. Only thing I would point out, is that the place is about 100 mts from a busy road and there is construction happening is several places around. I hope the pristine views are preserved for the future.

I’ll truly recommend to stay in Swarg Cottage in Naggar, Manali. The Service, the food, the view and overall cottage is so good. Behaviour of the care taker(Deepu ji) the owner of the cottage(Yash ji) is so nice towards the tourist. If you want to experience a peaceful life then go for Swarg cottage. Chiki(there dog) will also guide you till the cottage and you will love the company of there dogs(Chiki & Coco). I will give 10 on 10 to this cottage experience. Surely i will stay back in the Swarg Cottage if i will visit Manali again.

Magical place. Clean and very well maintained property. Beautiful and tasteful construction. It is a place where you would like to go again and again. Very peaceful surroundings. Good food. Super friendly and trained staff. Very well managed. I visited the place with my family with a small pet dog. There was ample of space for pet to roam around. I am very happy with the experience.

The place is very peaceful and offers a beautiful view, away from the crowd—perfect for those looking to unwind and relax in nature. I really enjoyed the quiet surroundings and serene atmosphere. Just a small tip: plan your vehicle and food arrangements in advance to make the most of your stay, as options nearby is limited. Overall, a wonderful and refreshing experience

My family and I have just had the most wonderful stay at Baramasa Lodge. Jagdeep was a fabulous host and was so easy to communicate with. He helped us with local taxis for day trips and arranged a great driver for our return trip to Dehli. He and my son even had an impromptu game of cricket together! He made us all feel so welcome and looked-after. The house is really clean and the beds comfortable. Vipin’s cooking was always delicious and I’ll forever miss his burjhi eggs & masala chai at breakfast! The best way to start a day! He and Arvind couldn’t have done anything more to make our stay comfortable. They are all lovely people and we’re privileged to have met them. We really hope to be able to return one day

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful property! The villas were spotless, well-maintained, and offered a peaceful vibe. The staff was extremely helpful and their hospitality made the whole experience truly heartwarming. What stood out was how well the place is managed—super pet-friendly, yet perfectly clean and comfortable even for those who may not be fond of pets. It strikes the perfect balance! The food was another highlight—absolutely delicious with a vast menu full of great options. Whether you're traveling with pets or not, this place makes for a perfect escape. Highly recommended.

Loved the property - beautiful view, well done interiors and very peaceful. Special shout out to caretaker and staff on the property - amazing, homely food and very hospitable. Highly recommend

It's an amazing property which is well maintained. Very neat and clean with an excellent care taker Mr Akash. He was always available for any help required. The in-house food is incredibly delicious and poclet friendly. The property is located at calm and serene mountain valley. It's kid friendly as well. The rooms, bathrooms, and everything was perfectly cleaned. I would highly recommend this property

We had a wonderful 5-6 day stay at your beautiful Kashvi homestay! The serene Mountains View from the house was truly breathtaking and made every morning feel special. The overall ambience of the house was peaceful, cozy, and tastefully done — it instantly made us feel at home. Everything was well maintained, and your hospitality especially the caretaker added to the experience. Thank you for making our stay so memorable — we’d love to come back again!

I had the wonderful opportunity of staying at Anantham in Bir. The property is really wonderful and it's soo comfortable. Everything here was more than perfect. What made the stay more memorable was the host Shikhar. He went above and beyond to make things perfect! Everything was perfectly laid out and he gave suggestions which helped us enjoy this place more!

This place is heaven. The location, the house, the facilities, the caretakers, the food- everything was beyond awesome. Rahul always responded in time. The caretakers Chandan and Mohan need special mention- they provided all required help, delicious food and great hospitality. Overall this place needs to be visited again and again for its charm, Himalayan views, tranquility and hospitality. We would definitely visit the place again.

What an incredible stay! The property is absolutely stunning—a true hidden gem near Bhimtal. A heartfelt shoutout to the wonderful caretaker, Rama didi, who went above and beyond to assist us—even answering our call for help at midnight. We’re also especially grateful to her daughter, Devanshi, whose cheerful company added so much fun to our visit. From badminton to Uno to Ludo, we had a blast together. Thank you to everyone who made this retreat truly memorable! Thank you Ashish for hosting us. :))

Absolutely lovely experience staying at this beautiful cottage! The place is already beautiful but the location is truly the cherry on top. Being there was a huge reset from city life. It was quiet, peaceful, and calm. Shambhavi, Aditya, and their team truly took utmost care of our experience even before we checked in. From providing detailed map instructions, confirming our arrival times, arranging food, they did it all. They even have art supplies, binoculars, and a telescope at the property! Lastly, a special shout out to Manmohan bhaiya who made sure we had everything we needed. I’ll be visiting again for sure, and for longer.

Nikhil and Aarti's homestay, Anoop's by Deerwood Cottages, Jagdhar, is an amazing, cozy place! We had selected the place just by seeing the snap of the Himalayan views from their cottage and we were lucky that the weather was clear and crisp and we got the exact same views! The home is very well maintained and the decor is excellent! Host Nikhil was around all the time and was very helpful and friendly. The most important thing that we are grateful for is that the food was customised as per our needs. We were a bunch of people between the age range of 12 to 82! One of my aunts had zero tolerance level for spices, so we asked them to keep aside one small serving for her, in every meal, with zero spices; and they did just exactly that and my aunt was super happy! The meals were tasty too. Thank you Nikhil and Aarti for this wonderful stay! All the best to you! Regards, Prachi and Abhijit & family.

I have been using AirBnB for well nigh a decade now — and this was one of the most enjoyable and memorable experiences so far. This was in large part due to the interest that Sanyukta took in our stay at the Rainbow farm — from recommending an extremely good driver for taking us around to taking us on a unique and informative tour of her orchard, nursery and garden anand further for taking us out on a wonderful hike up to the pine forest. She also took good care of arranging for our basic needs like breakfast and cottage cleaning. The cottage itself is picturesque and the panoramic view of the hills from the huge glass windows on three sides of the cottage is spectacular. The only downside of the stay are the crowds at popular tourist sites like Kempty falls (Sanyukta had hinted that it would be so) and the monotony of the mughlai food/pizzas/pasta available at most restaurants — ameliorated partly by genuine Garhwali food at a couple of places. Overall a wonderful vacation.

Kavita’s place is spotlessly clean. The rooms are tastefully done up with stunning views of the mountains. It felt like home. The caretaker Vinod is friendly and cooks delicious meals. I stayed at Nand Maya with my family and we had a comfortable stay. Kavita is responsive and was always available. I would surely go back to Nand Maya again.

A wonderful stay with warm hospitality! Nonika is a fantastic host—highly responsive and always ready to assist with any queries. Nikhil, the cook and caretaker, truly elevated the experience with his culinary skills. We had dinner at the BnB all three nights, and the food was absolutely superb! I wasnt expecting such good quality across cuisines (must try the chicken lollipop if you are a non vegetarian). The cottage itself is charming and thoughtfully decorated, ensuring all essential comforts. However, the staircase leading to the upper room is quite narrow and could feel a bit risky. One thing to note—while this isn't a fault of the BnB—the route from Jibhi to the property gets quite narrow and rough in certain patches, requiring extra caution while navigating.

Awesome stay. Very friendly host. Place is as described in the images. I strontsuggestvthis stay. Stunning nature view from the house

It’s a beautiful pristine place just as they have shown in the photos. Kundan bhaiya is the best & cooks amazing food. He is super proactive & takes care of your needs.
