THis was very nice experience. Food and Service was good. Private lake is a good attraction. Especially Bonfire and barbeque was superb. Only problem is no picnic spots nearby this and the rooms are very closer and has no privacy..But overall it was a good experience.

Staff is one of the courteous group. The management is very good. Rooms are neat and tidy however with limited privacy. Food is good for a south Indian palate but wasn't for us. Overall a very good experience. Will I go there again....... You bet

Since we were a big group, we had booked the entire house. The staff were very friendly, food was simple yet very tasty. The chef also took into account our suggestions wrt menu for dinner, breakfast and BBQ.The BBQ was well prepared and the home-stay was very very refreshing. We had a great time and a great experience.

This hard to find resort is one of a kind, even among the ubiquitous home-stay 'resorts' that seems to have mushroomed in the shringeri-chikmagalur dakshina kannada region. I'm a native of Dharmsthala, but have been abroad for a number of years nd have thus lost touch with my roots. This place, however, brought back my fondest memories of my childhood... More

It was truly one of the most relaxing trips for us.While booking itself, they were being very patient in answering all our doubts - we were travelling with my 70 year old mother and I had a lot of questions to ensure she was comfortable.
