My husband and I, both senior citizens, wanted to get away for a night or two and zeroed in on the Zen Studio Homestay which is an extension of the Cafe Parking Lot. The room was extremely comfortable, with wide, white framed windows looking out to the paddy fields and the hills with countless waterfalls descending, as it were, from the clouds and mist. The absence of a TV was a nice touch because, for a change, there was no compulsive distraction from that obtrusive source. The cafeteria with its outdoor sitting and dining area provided a peaceful haven amidst nature, especially beautiful in the monsoon. The food was interesting, the owner, Pravin, had asked us if there was anything specific that we would like and he made sure it was served. We sampled their fresh baked pizza too.

The cozy ambiance of the café combined with its unique concept of being a stay cum restaurant was truly refreshing. The attention to detail in the décor and setup added to the overall charm.

I visited the property with my mother and my wife, and I can surely say I had a delightful stay, and a big part of that was the outstanding service provided by Pravin and Shuvam and the Caretaker Azad. The place felt so safe and serene. the way they explained and made us experience the place was so gentle. The surroundings was exceptional. It felt like I visited a family. From check-in to check-out, they were courteous, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. They went above and beyond to ensure the experience was smooth and enjoyable. Their professionalism and warm hospitality truly stood out and made the stay memorable. When we were leaving the place Shuvam and Azad even came all the way out with us, opened the car door for my mother and greeted until we meet next time. I never experienced such a hospitality.
Highly recommended — thank you, Pravin and Shuvam! I will visit...
