We were in the swimming pool and suddenly noticed that there was a deer standing next to the pool - it felt so awesome.

We had a great time in jungle hut , It's like family. Anushri and Vivek looked after all our needs. The kids had a great time and so did we. We managed to see a tiger as well on our safari to bandipur. Will return again.

JUngle Hut is nestled away in Masinagudi. Somewhere between a homestay and a resort, it clearly offers the best of both. Brilliant place is all I can say. Awesome food. A place to either totally chill out or get out and do some activities. Went with my family and all of us came back smiling. And to top it off,... More

Even a short stay at Jungle Hut is like being back among dear, dear friends. The welcome, the warmth, the charm of this hoary old property and the fact that you see more wildlife a few yards from your cottages than you will see in the Madumalai sanctuary, all make this a truly precious holiday or get-away-from-it-all destination. The `sanctuary'... More

Fantastic resort. I stayed there with my family on 21st and 22nd May 2013. One night a wild tusker barged in the resort and wanted to be the guest. It was very exciting to see the whole scene. Food is very good and rooms are very comfortable. Thanks to Puja madam and her team for everything. Ravi Asopa

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
After working for 25 years on tea plantations Joe and Hermie Mathias chose to retire close to nature away from the buzzing city life. They started Jungle Hut in 1986 sharing the warmth of their home and providing the unique getaway for the adventurous traveller. Through word of mouth people from far and wide visited Jungle Hut and many of them continue to patronise us.My wife and I follow in their footsteps and open our home to you.Welcome to Jungle Hut.At 3000 feet above sea level and a range of climatic conditions, our holiday estate is surrounded by a wealth of plant and animal life that thrives amidst sparkling streams and virgin jungle. Here you can trek meandering forest paths, enjoy peace and quiet under starry skies, or be bold and explore your wild side with a jungle safari.At the end of the day treat yourself to a hot shower in our cozy rooms and then relax for a while on verandahs that offer breathtaking views while ensuring your privacy. When you're hungry, come on up to our dining area, we cater buffet meals with a home cooked feel.Through all our travels we have not come across a hideaway offering such serenity. Our guests the world over have echoed this same feeling. Don't forget to bring your camera as this is one holiday you will want to remember for a long, long time. So come, stay a while, enjoy our hospitality and nature at its best.- Anushri and Vikram Mathias. ... more   less
