Loved it! It is well maintained, comfortable and spacious. Evokes a sense of nostalgia for those who have memories of family homes of yesteryears overlooking the mountains and dreamy during the rains. The rooms are big and so are the bathrooms. We took the family room and single room. You can choose from: a Family room (INR 4000 per night), a Double room (INR 3000) and a Single room (INR1500), each with its own bathroom. Views from some of the windows overlook the forest behind the house. The sit out at the back is an indulgence in itself. The balcony too has its charm with fairy lights, plants and candles. The kitchen is well-stocked for a breakfast, besides the market is close by. Cafes open for breakfast, so one may not bother. If you are up for pancakes, Renee makes lovely ones! The location on Rajpur Road makes it a practical stay option if you want to experience the city as well as opt for close proximity to Mussoorie, trekkable nearby areas, etc. We could meet ***y friends and relatives in the city. The house is right opposite Sakya Centre and it was therapeutic to start the day with ******* chants. I also enjoyed my morning run on Rajpur Road, ***** tall trees, plenty of rain birthed greenery, chic cafes, the Maa Anandmayee Ashram, Aurobindo Ashram, Ramakrishna Mission, etc. - different from running in a park in Delhi! Renee and Jayant are wonderful hosts and if you have the time, they are up for a chat - Jayant tells you about the city, cafes, treks, etc., Renee has her storehouse of home remedies and beauty ingredients - she also makes great handmade soaps. They have a dog-Bhurrie who is not only very affectionate but is a great host to visitor dogs if they can maintain a decorum of toilet ***ners and not eye Bhurrie's food! Our Indie, Nimboo had a great sisterhood time with Bhurrie! Overall, a memorable stay. Will visit again and recommend to others! Kavita Singal
