Our Story
100 Years of Heritage,
Perfectly Preserved
Built in 1924 by a British officer who fell in love with the Dalhousie highlands, this stone-and-timber cottage has sheltered generations of mountain seekers. Original hand-carved teak doors, brass knob fixtures, and slate-roofed verandas have been meticulously preserved.
In 2018, the estate was restored with great care — every plank and stone retained, modern plumbing and heating added invisibly beneath. Today it stands as one of Himachal Pradesh's finest heritage stays, certified by the state's Tourism Board.

Voices from the Mountains
"Absolutely magical. Waking up to snow-dusted peaks from a century-old cottage with a roaring fireplace is something you can't experience anywhere else. We've been back three times and each stay feels like coming home."

"Our kids experienced real mountain life — picking apples from the orchard, spotting Himalayan birds, hiking the deodar trails. The caretaker's home-cooked rajma-chawal was better than any restaurant we've visited."

"We traveled from the UK specifically for this cottage. The authentic colonial architecture, the mist rolling through the valley at dawn, the warm hospitality — it exceeded every expectation. A true hidden gem."
