We stayed at Aamir’s place in July 2024 when we visited Kashmir for the first time with our families. Aamir, Muneer and Aadil made the entire experience extremely comfortable. The very day we arrived, we were upgraded without asking for it as they saw that my mum in law can’t walk a lot so we were given the rooms close to the entrance. We arrived quite late (around 10pm) because of flight delays and had no idea where we will find food from at this hour but they made sure that we don’t sleep hungry. They prepared a full meal this late in the night and for all days that we stayed there, even if we needed something at 1am in the night, they were all happy to help. The place is beautiful and very nicely maintained. They have a beautiful garden just behind the rooms where we had breakfast and made some core memories. Aamir also recommended some places to visit and helped make transport arrangements. Thank you for the amazing hospitality. This was home away from home.

We had a truly lovely stay, and I must say, Rishi is an exceptional host. He went out of his way to ensure that we were comfortable in every possible way. His suggestions for places to visit, dining, and shopping were always spot-on and reliable. The property itself is stunning and well-maintained, offering a peaceful retreat. If you're looking to unwind and escape the hustle and bustle of the city this is the perfect place to relax. Highly recommended!

View from the room is just picturesque. The host was flexible with the late check in too

The place is exactly as shown in pictures and the is surrounded by beautiful views. The cottage has all the amenities you can need and also has great interiors. Special thanks to the caretakers Ajay and Vinay who are really helpful and take care of all your needs.

Place is really beautiful! The view is great from the room! Place is very neat and clean ! Location is close to the Mall Road Overall a beautiful place Would totally recommend staying here! Will visit soon again

If there were 1000000 stars , i would give this experience all of it. I have been to Himachal quite a few times and trust me i have been to enough, if you wish to have a stay right in the lap of nature, this is it. The walk to the swarg home, swarg home itself with its attention to detail, the trails around, the cafes, the aptly quiet naggar village are all just INCREDIBLE . Yash ji, Veena ji, Deepu bhaiya , chikki are very warm, very welcoming and make you feel absolutely at home, right from the time they pick you up, till the time they drop you, ufff, there is a lot to learn from them in terms of hospitality. The home cooked food , the birds chirping , the stunning views of the snow capped peaks , the seclusion from the outside world and still being just 15 mins walk away from the pretty main Naggar market makes this the bestessst stay ever. A perfect place to put all your guards down and still be handheld by the mother nature. Can’t wait to come back already♥️

Found the place to be homely, peaceful and super serene. Surely will visit again.

Single day stay just for downtime with our pet. Perfect place for two adults and a dog whose definition of bliss in life is getting to spend time quietly together. Lake was a lovely quiet walk. Everything was very clean and homely. Very touched by Amit and Caroline's special gestures to make us comfortable. I had forgotten odomos. They got their staff to go and get it for us in under 30 minutes. The pantry had all basic staples. All in all we are so glad to have taken this day off at Scotty's cottage

scenic locations or the countryside, are frequently praised for their stunning views.

Leena is an amazing host. It’s one of those places where you’ll get the real Himalayan hospitality. We felt right at home, the food was simply amazing, might have gained a few while I was here. The staff, especially Chandan (since we only interacted with him) is extremely polite and helpful. The space is very cozy, and the views around the place are breathtakingly beautiful. I’ll definitely be back as soon I can.

it was a beautiful stay by the backwaters. very responsive hosts and made us feel very comfortable. they even took care of my dog when we went out for a few hours. The food was also top notch. overall a wonderful experience. Will definitely recommend

Host - Aunty is responsive, helpful, and chatty. You'll enjoy her company. You can make special requests in food or anything else you might need ;). Location - It's located down the road, there are two paths to take, 1 easier, 1 tougher, both adventurous and beautiful. Hosts (Aunty, her husband and DIL) carry your luggage to and fro. The place is isolated from the road and other stays, and provides a quiet stay experience. Rooms - They are clean and spacious, large washrooms, beautiful balconies that can accommodate 5 people each for the chai-siddu-view chill mornings. When we visited they were still building the tree house but it looked nice. Food - Aunty feeds you home cooked, clean, tasty food - whatever you request. The siddu's are fantastic and the ghee is to die for.

Sachin and Jaypal are best hosts and people you would want to reachout with all suggesstions, and help. This was my 5th visit to their place, and their cottage is very spacious, with friendly staff. I prefer their cottage more is because of their warm hosting and pet-friendly place with spacious lawns. You must try their kitchen menu, with multicuisine options, it is so good. Also thank you for providing me with hot water bags, they really made my bed warm and cozy. Special thanks to Rohit for his active service throughout.

I am in love with the place. Stayed here for one night. They also very nicely accomodated bday decoration request. The staff is great, very friendly. Food was awesome. My only request will be that the dart games and other games be kept in an accessible area to play. Maybe near gazebo. Or near main stay. Also the road till gazebo is great but from gazebo to the main stay is a slightly bumpy ride. but apart from the above suggestions, loved the place! Great people, great stay, very accommodating and to be very honest, felt extremely rejuvenated after just one day there. :) hopefully will get the opportunity to be back someday :) Thanks for everything....

This is the second time we stayed at X-cottage including our two pet dogs. The stay was peaceful, comfortable and it was different experience this time given the cool weather and getting to watch cloud covered hills early morning. I would definitely recommend this place and look forward to visit again. Thanks Shivnath for being a great host.

I must say we had a wonderful time at the property. We (me and my wife) work and we were looking for some peace and tranquility. We got both, thank you for having nice caretakers at the place too. Overall we have decided to come back again 😀

had a great time, the owner was very helpful and the cottage has a quaint charm

It is such a warm and cozy place with such a magnificent view. It felt like home away from home. The house staff Sonu and Nishant were very helpful and prompt. Sonuji prepared scrumptious meals. Also Faizanji who lives nearby drove us around Mussorie. He was very accommodating and he guided us well. It was overall a very memorable experience. Im recommending my friends and family to visit and stay here atleast once ! :)

We had an amazing stay at Tragopan Chalets, Tandi! The wooden rooms were not only beautifully designed but also incredibly cozy and comfortable. The views from the chalet were absolutely breathtaking—waking up to those stunning mountain and valley vistas was a highlight of our trip. The caretakers were extremely warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The food was another standout—every meal was delicious and prepared with so much care. It truly felt like a perfect mountain getaway. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for peace, beauty, and great hospitality!

Highly recommended, such a good host and lovey quiet place with beautiful garden

Had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb in Bhimtal! The location was peaceful with stunning lake views, and the property was clean, spacious, and well-equipped. The host was incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Bhimtal is a charming spot to relax and explore. Highly recommend this place for a tranquil retreat!

The accommodation was excellent, making our stay truly enjoyable. The hosts were warm, responsive, and proactive. The food, served based on the menu, was delicious, with our top recommendations being Rara Chicken and Rajma Chawal. They also guided us to nearby attractions, providing clear directions. Additionally, Door Ji assisted us in coordinating with local taxi services, ensuring smooth travel and a hassle-free return. I highly recommend this cottage for a vacation—it’s a perfect choice for families or groups.

We 4 adults and 2 teenagers stayed for 3 nights. Overall great experience. The booking includes the entire property i.e you are not sharing it with any other guests. We'll maintained property with lot of open spaces to sit out with a good valley and mountain view. Has both sunrise view in front and sunset view at back. The property itself is a big plus, however special mention to Neeraj and Manoj, caretakers who stay at the property. The food they cooked and service is excellent. Food is completely sorted. Both are very generous. They arranged barbecue and bonfire on one of the evenings. We even played cricket nearby with local kids. few points to consider though 1. From main road, it takes 15mins to reach, this stretch is under construction. drivable but not great at moment. 2. From parking one has to hike for short distance to reach property. Problem only for those with mobility issues. It's not a steep or long hike. Overall highly recommended. We would love to comeback and visit.
