Our three-week vacation in mid-June 2024 to Pine Peak (Kasauli) was a delightful escape from the extreme heat. We rented an entire house with two apartments, perfect for our party of 14, which included some guests who joined us for shorter durations. The property is conveniently located about 5 km on the Sari road, Garkhal, near Kasauli.
Highlights:
• Breathtaking Views: The property boasts a stunning valley view and magnificent morning sunrises, which we thoroughly enjoyed. • Comfortable Stay: The accommodations were spacious and comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. • Excellent Service: The caretakers were exceptional, particularly Lucky, who was always helpful and attentive. • Delicious Food: Our cook, Gollu, prepared amazing meals. We only needed to provide a grocery list, and everything was taken care of. • Owner’s Responsiveness: We had a few minor issues, but the owner, Bikram, was very receptive to our feedback and eager to address them.
Nearby Attractions:
We explored several nearby places, including:
• Kasauli (Man Ki Point, Sunset Point) • Panjore Gardens • Timber Trail • Solan • Dagshai • Barog • Heritage Park • Chail • Kufri • Shimla • Pine Peak (Amigo Pizza and Sunset Point at Dochi)
We rented a Traveller van. Our caretaker, Jettu, arranged that for us, which made traveling around very convenient.
Overall Experience:
Our experience was overwhelmingly positive. The combination of beautiful scenery, excellent service, and delicious food made for a memorable vacation. Given the chance, I would definitely visit again and highly recommend this...
Read moreProperty is a little far away from your average herd crowd. Has picturesque views all around the property. Rooms are spacious enough with private Balcony and sitting arrangements. Property has provision for bonfire if you want to.
There are trails for minor hiking all around the place and I recommend you to explore some while you stay here. I have attached a couple of timelapse, room view, and balcony view videos to give you an approximate idea of what awaits you.
The staff is really nice and goes beyond and over to help you and make your stay comfortable. Try to have your own vehicle if possible. Because the property is a little far from the center(not a cons :) ), getting something quick and at will gets difficult.
You will be provided a menu for an on-property chef and I found the food to be delicious and hygienic.
I really liked the polite hospitality of everyone, specifically Pavan Ji and Abhishek. Pavan Ji fed us lip-smacking food while maintaining great hygiene practices. Always have a genuine smile and eagerness to serve us. It was very kind of him to check on us if we forgot to order dinner or Lunch. Abhishek is a very well-spoken and warm host. He helped us to understand the logistics around the place and was always super reachable whenever we reached him.
Had a nice interaction with Kamal Ji while checking out too.
Update: Funny thing. I assumed Pavan ji was Kishore. Realized correct names while checking out and corrected in the...
Read moreLocated around 6-7 kms away from the hustle bustle of the main town. Very calm and peaceful location. Amid beautiful pine trees and clouds you will find this property. We were lucky enough to get upgrade from their another property, Valley Homz to Lalita's Pine Peak for 2 nights. View from the terrace is majestic. Rooms are huge and spacious with an amazing view from the balcony. You can get parking here for your vehicle. Food options are limited and taste is okayish. No other option for any restaurants nearby. Staff was nice and friendly especially Virender and Sunny gave a really nice hospitality. Some of the constructive feedback: One of the bathrooms in the room wasn't functional, shower was broken. There was a rat in the bathroom, visited us once and pooped all over the wash basin's slab, that was filthy and unacceptable. Bathrooms need a little more maintenance and bedsheets need to be cleaner and smell good.
Also, thanks to Mr. Vishal Dhiman to have offered us nice upgrades. Overall it was an excellent experience. Would come there...
