Chalet vacation rentals in South India

Due to occurrences outside Varghese’s control, the room we had booked with him became unavailable prior to our stay. However, Varghese was extremely helpful in lining up an alternate location for us to stay, sending pictures to make sure we were happy with the change, and covering all our room expenses there. He was helpful and communicative throughout the process. Thank you so much!

An incredibly nice environment, surrounded by nature. Not unimportant; our host and hostess were very welcoming, helpful & sweet. We had a delicious dinner and also relaxed there. You will enjoy beautiful views, nature sounds and the tranquility. It is conveniently located to Sigiriya (Lions rock) and national park. We highly recommend this property!!

It was awesome place to stay, we got the jungle vibe in Ella, and from the balcony we got the Ella Rock view, it was tremendous scene to look at.

Pugmarks Forrest Resort had been the highlight of our backpacking adventure in India. The resort is stunning with treehouse chalets that are comfortable and ecologically sound. Great Indian food is available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Elephants, Deer, bison, monkeys, rabbits, squirrels, various birds and lizards can all be seen. Our host Gopa was just the best. Cheerful, amiable and supper helpful. The photos do not do this place justice! it's better than we could have possible hoped for. We will be very sad to leave.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming, century-old chalet, beautifully renovated to offer modern comforts. The highlight is the stunning view of the Mondovi River, visible from the entire chalet—an experience that felt refreshingly different from our usual stays. It’s an ideal place for family and friends to gather, with a relaxed atmosphere and fewer restrictions compared to other places. A special mention to Mrs. Irvine, the caretaker, who was exceptionally friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. The only drawback is the limited availability of nearby stores for essentials. Additionally, the parking area opens directly onto the main street, which can be a bit challenging during busy hours. Overall, it’s a great place to unwind and connect with loved ones.

It is beautifully situated in the jungle with natural pool, very quiet and so beautiful green everything. The rooms are very large and great - with sofa, large mirror - furnished. You can book breakfast and dinner. The hosts are incredibly kind and helpful, it's a great pleasure to be with them.

Me and my family really enjoyed the stay. The peaceful atmosphere and serene surrounding with a lot of space made us felt relaxed and refreshed!

The place is very peaceful and beautiful, it was a good stay for me. Krishna and Darren were very helpful. There are 2 great restaurants right next to the stay. Morjim beach is just 10 mins walk from the stay. I loved that the place is pet friendly, got to meet the kittens and super friendly doggo Max.

Dilshan is a very caring host. He can satisfy almost all reasonable request. The location is fantastic. The rooms and dining area were very cozy. Everything is new inside the house. Highly recommended A+++ host!

The property was extremely peaceful and relaxing. The staff was friendly and helped out with everything we needed. It's accessible by road and one can easily drive down to nearby beaches and local markets.

Great stay. Food options are quite limited but the staff is helpful and accommodating. Overall, nice experience.

This is a place not just for your mind and body but also the soul. The chalet has excellent ventilation and the view is to die for. The design and the setting blends minimalist philosophy with comfort so that you have everything you need in a manner sustainable to the environment. The food that this establishment serves is as good as Italian cuisine gets. I haven’t tasted such good pasta since my time in Italy. I would certainly consider their spaghetti as the best I have had in india. The culture of the establishment has struck a perfect balance between respecting the privacy of the guests while also ensuring that the stay is comfortable. The pool is especially the highlight of this place besides the beach access. Over all- the vacation and the stay here was perfect.

The photos do not express how much this place is amazing! We've really enjoyed our time here. The bungalows and the rooms are new, furnished with taste, full of light and very clean. The common space makes you feel at home; you have breakfast here, you can order some snack said/lunch/dinner or enjoy a papaya juice in the upper level waiting for the sunset. The food is always fresh (bought every morning on request) and extremely well cooked. The beach is really the best of the eastern coast, few tourists, amazing sand and waves of the right size to enjoy them swimming. If you get bored, the staff is always there for you, ready to organize boat trip, to do snorkeling, dolphin-whale watching or to go fishing with the locals. Sam is a great host, and her staff is amazing. Highly recommended, we'll be back for sure. We left our heart here! This is what serendipity is about :) Thank you, once again!
