Excellent place for a short halt enroute Manali. The property is magnificent & the openness is divine with it's ideal location. The Owner Mr.Ravi Gaur is extremely hospitable including all the family members & really makes you feel at home.||We got the excellent ground floor cottage with the balcony which was the USP. Could spend sitting hours there looking at the nature & hills. The caretaker boys Yedu & Yougal are helpful & hardworking.||If you wish to relax,this is ideal for you. Do not expect sightseeing trips much nearby nor any swanky accommodation status. Sanjeevji the younger brother showed us around the Orchard property & explained each farming tips with flawless indepth knowledge. ||Food was a little dissapointing-we expected better local cruising.Though it is made by the caretaker Yedu,it if slightly overrated,overpriced & lacks in quality. However all said & done the hospitality extended by the Gaur's leaves no room for complain.||Yougal the housekeeping guy also needs little supervision for cleanliness of the rooms. We stayed for 4nights & had a memorable stay there.||The is a small play courtyard where my daughter played with the Gaur kids - Dhara n Purav. Overall an excellent & memorable,experience cum stay.||Highly...

The cottage in itself was spacious,specially the porch where we could sit and spend the whole day without even feeling the necessity to go anywhere,the view was amazing.Thanks Raviji for hosting us , it almost felt like home and also for the parting gift .hope to...
Read moreStayed here on 7th July 2016 for a night. We came down to Manali from Leh on our bikes & wanted to avoid the hustle bustle of Manali So continued towards Kullu & on the way found this awesome cottage. Rooms are quite spacious & very well maintained. The patios are beautiful & are added bonus. There isn't much staff which is actually a plus if you are not looking for a 7 course meal. We wanted to a comfortable good night's sleep & freshly cooked decent food. The lone staff did prepare a simple but delicious dinner for us. Really enjoyed that evening. The garden at the cottage is beautiful & is full of exotic flora. Mr.Gaur, the owner, was very helpful & gave some great shopping tips. |Will plan to visit it again with...
