The location of the place was really good with lakes around you whoch made the weather really cold. The house was neat and perfect for 6 people with lots of bedding, blankets and pillows. Overall the experience was worth going once again. The host was also very helpful from the start with directions, eatery joints and other errands.

We visited Vaibhav's place in March 2017. It's 25km from Lonavala, but the road was in fairly good condition & drive is very enjoyable as Pawana dam is right next to you for almost whole distance. House is as shown on site & is beautiful. 4 guests would be ideal size though 6 could possibly stay. (there is only one bed room& double bed, others have to manage on mattresses.) One point of caution. House is beautiful and environmental friendly but internal walls are not of full height (even toilet ones !!) & hence privacy could be issue. Vaibhav has made arrangement for food with local guy. There is no proper food joint around. Food he made for us was delicious, authentic rural marathi cuisine. But if you do not fancy this much, then you should carry your own things with you.

The listing description was accurate and the neighboorhood was calm, serene, peaceful, and very relaxing. An ideal getaway location for about six people.

The place is simply amazing. Service was too good. They are always ready to help you. All the basic necessities were provided. The view from the property was simply amazing. I recommend everyone to visit there atleast once.

Cozy cottage was a great experience. Amenities are perfect for a quick getaway. The cottage was very clean and tidy, with numerous board games and other sports equipments. It felt like a home away from home. The pictures don't do complete justice to the cottage, it is much better when experienced first hand. The surroundings are beautiful and scenic, with lakes and trecks right around the corner. Vaibhav (the host/owner) is warm, helpful and took care of our comfort and requirements proactively. Overall cozy cottage was a great experience. Highly recommended. Will definitely visit again.

Best place to stay for anyone i.e groups / family , etc... Scenic / peacefull / positive vibes. Enjoy.

It's a good location. Nicely kept house. Should provide little more facilities

It was great experience staying at Cozzy Cottage.

Excellent place, as described. Very neat and tidy. Was a pleasure to spend few days at Mahendra's place in Lonavala

It was the most memorable stay. I wish we had stayed longer. Sindhu is an excellent caretaker and an amazing cook. Excellent ambience.

Mahendra is a great host starting with instant booking confirmation. The cottage is exactly what is mentioned on the website. It is exclusive and private. We got lunch from nearby Siddhu da Dhaba. Sindhu Tai is an extremely caring caretaker. Her son fetched food from the dhaba and also set up barbecue in the evening. We, as a family with a pet, had a great time in this scenic, serene and secluded hideout. Loved it and will go again.

The cottage is a beauty tucked in the hills. Everything about it speaks of comfort and cosiness. The house was clean and tastefully done. The lawn was tidy and a good place to sit and look at the skies in the night. The caretaker was very kind with her hospitality and cooked us some very good meals. Overall I will say a good weekend getaway with friends!

Hi, we really appreciated the way host has provided the hospitality at the time of stay,.. He used to call 2-3 time before and after the arrival, if everything is ok and convenient.. The food provided was also good. The surrounding was also pleasant... Definetly, would recommend the place

The Listing description was accurate as noted. Its a good location away from the main town traffic of Lonavala and sweet and safe neighbourhood to stay around. The owner of the property Mahendra was warm to keep us informed of the place before our visit and made constant follow-ups during our stay too for more assistance. Also the attendant at the place was sweet and helpful to help us with all our requirements as and when we asked for. Over all it was a wonderful stay!

The villa is set in a beautiful location. The caretaker Sindhu is very warm and made us feel at home. She is a great cook too. Mahendra, thanks for the hospitality.

Mahendra is a wonderful host, he replied promptly to all our questions. The listing is accurate in description, the place is easy to find from the directions given. The caretaker cooks delicious food.

The complete experience right from the booking process till after the check out was outstanding. The host helped me book the place when I requested him, asked me my family's food preferences, guided me with the directions, called me to know if I had reached safely and finally called me to know how my stay was after my check out. The place was absolutely clean, well maintained, comfortable and spacious. The caretakers were actually very caring, helpful and friendly. Food as mentioned by the hosts is excellent. The overall atmosphere, ambience, food and treatment makes you feel at home. 100% marks. More importantly, if there are women, kids or seniors in this group then prefer this place for sure. The only trouble seniors will hsve to take is to climb about 6 steps. :)

The house is situated in a scenic location close to Pune with a beautiful view of the valley below and cool breeze passing through. It has a large play area with a basketball ring and badminton on the grass lawn. The house itself has been renovated and is clean, bathrooms in good condition, the place provides extra mattresses, bedsheets etc. Food served by the caretakers is good quality, well cooked and reasonably priced, choice of chicken or veg plate, kanda bhaji for snacks, poha for breakfast. The place doesn't currently have a water filter so you may need to carry drinking water along if you are not used to borewell water. There are also no shops anywhere near the apartment so buy any food/snacks at or before Paud. In searching for the venue, enter through Girivan's main gate and then follow the road uphill towards the main office and once you go past the main office it is maybe less than a km on the right. For those who wish to trek you can trek through the hills on the west and cross over to Mulshi reservoir's catchment, though Girivan resort has a lot of fenced private property surrounding the hill so finding a way up the hill isn't easy, ask locals for directions.

We were a group of 7 friends, just wanted to relax for the night, and what this place provided was beyond our expectations. The prompt response from the host from start to end, the caretaker's really caring nature made the stay very pleasant. It shows 2 hours journey on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps but depending on traffic conditions it can be anywhere between 1.5 to 3 hours. We checked in late but caretaker was still there waiting for us. Place is so big that it can accommodate 20 people easily. We were impressed by the cleanliness of the house. The toilet are neat, modern and clean. Mr. Namdev the caretaker literally pampered us. The food served was of excellent quality (both veg and nonveg) and very reasonably priced. I thank the host Mr Devendra and the caretaker for making the night memore.

We had a wonderful time at Iccha Purti. Property: very well maintained. Beautiful, lots of pictures. Well equipped with extra bedding, blankets. Location: in malvali village....a few kilometers off lonavala. Quiet place... Great place for walks... There is a Ganesha temple nearby The care takers are helpful and help with cooking. Overall, it's a great place to relax and enjoy with family.

Very nice n comfortable bunglow.staff was very co-operative. only the approach road is not very good.rest all was perfect. The directions to the bunglow helped a lot to reach.

Спасибо хозяину Саратхи за очень теплый прием и прекрасный перерыв. Дом расположен идеально среди холмов Лонавала. Очень близко к некоторые удивительные водопады и красивых дисков. В доме хорошо сохранились и организованы, плюс мои дети абсолютно любил играть на заднем дворе. По этой цене я сомневаюсь, что кто-то может найти лучшего отдыха. Благодаря!

The house was very comfortable and nicely landscaped. The caretakers took good care of our needs and cooked some good vegetarian dishes as per our desire. The negatives was the last 2 KM stretch of road to reach the house is a poorly maintained potholed road. Also there was annoying beep coming out of the security system within the house which could not be stopped since it was within a locked closet.

We enjoyed every bit of our stay. Morning view to the mountain was just awesome. Place was neat and clean. Well maintained lawn and garden. We had power and water throughout our stay. Right from our start of journey till we checked out, host was there to help. He made all of us feel at home. Having a good cook provided additional comfort starting with morning cup of tea. Cannot ask for more. I have already recommend this place to my family and friends.

An amazing experience! We were here with our 2 kids and a senior citizen and all of us had a comfortable, enjoyable and relaxing stay. Mr. Sarathi ensured that he kept communicating with us and guiding us right from the time we identified his property as an option till we completed our stay. It's a neat and well maintained property with polite and caring caretakers.

Отличный опыт!! Место точно так, как описано. Бунгало находится в хорошем состоянии и в тихом месте. В саду великолепно поддерживается. Ресепционист также очень кооперативная и готовит большую еду. В саду горит с огнями в ночное время. Вы можете играть громкую музыку без каких-либо ограничений на всех. Место находится в нескольких минутах ходьбы от станции Malavli. Я хотел бы еще раз посетить.

It was an amazing Experience at Iccha Purti. Loved the flowers and vegetables grown around the vicinity We were total 5elder and 2kids Kids loved playing running in the garden Evening barbeque was awesome Nathu took good care of us.

Great place. Ideal for a chilled out weekend stay.

The place was vry well maintained, neat and tidy... Good for family outing....Kids can play outdoor games in d lawn.. Kitchen facility is good....!! Overall it was a good experience and stay at Aashirwad Bungalow :)

We booked for one night at Siddharth's place. Somehow, due to personal we could not stayed at his place. However, i would like to say that he is a gentleman. When he came to know that we did not stay at his place, he asked my account details n refunded the booking amount. Thank you Siddharth. Siddharth .

El lugar era bueno para permanecer tranquilo y agradable .. .. Bunglow estaba muy limpio ... En general, una experiencia muy agradable.

令人惊喜的住宿那瓦拉,有点远离城市,但看门人是有益的,将在您的处置在呼叫。你可以很容易地共享汽车在主要市场的下跌你5分钟。 谈到房地产,我想你会喜欢一个惊人之旅。留在自己的位置有一个平静的聚会,送布牙。 房间是惊人的,非常宽敞,容纳多达8-9人。 两床房和大厅使其成为一个完美的留在地方。

¡Buen lugar! Relación calidad-precio!

El lugar es exactamente como aparece en las imágenes. Llegamos tarde en la noche para pasar la noche y estaban bien guiados por el cuidador. Si necesita alimentos para disponerse las mismas necesidades a ser informado antes. Hay lugares cercanos por donde se puede caminar para un bocado. Es una bonita colonia aislada, pero cerca de la autopista. La casa y los accesorios son viejas pero ordenada / cómoda. Muy buena relación calidad-precio para una estancia de una noche!

The location is serene and peaceful. The house is very clean, you will not find a single dust particle even on the window rims. Great for pets, good place for them to run around and mingle with the neighbors dogs(both of them were adorable) the interiors are very 80ies so makes you very nostalgic - from the bed to the sit out to the dining area. The house has everything you need, you jus need to ensure you have ur food supplies and water taken care off. The caretakers are very helpful. The view from the villa is fantastic. The only thing you need to be warned about is the moist stench in the blankets which is ignorable considering the other benefits at this price. Overall a fantastic place.

Dr. Samender is a great host. Although he was personally not there but he took every possible care to make our stay comfortable. loved the quiet environment. would have definitely loved to stay more time but could not. definitely will plan to come to his place next time in future.

What a place!!!! I don't have words to explain. These Hotel chains should learn the meaning of hospitality from Dr. Samender. Since the day I booked the room, what a great follow up and service I have been provided with . I have to admit , I am impressed. I was also checking reviews before booking and some people gave negative feedback but now i can decline all the bad reviews. Its a nice place. Location, view, conveyance, food cost, taste. Everything was awesome. The most amazing thing was, Mr. Sumendra and Mr. Vikcy, such amazing people. We have checked out at 10am, kept our bags in the reception area and went for sightseeing. We got wet due to heavy rains and wanted to change. I requested Mr. Vicky for using the reception washroom for 5 mins but he has given us a room again for 30 mins without any cost . I believe no one would do this in this industry. I must suggest this Holiday Home. Ignore all bad reviews.

Great stay. Was extremely happy to take my pet along to this cute comfy lil resort. Unfortunately we didn't have any Wi-Fi throughout the stay and so couldn't stay connected to family, plus no network. Also, please note that to order room service, you will have to go to the restaurant yourself to place an order. There's no way to call them up. Other than this, we really enjoyed out stay, Dr. Samendar was helpful and so were the others. Super happy that we found a lovely pet friendly resort! Will definitely visit again!

The care taker Mr.Desai I believe, came a fair bit outside to escort us to the exact location which I thought was commendable, we arrived just as the kitchen was closing and they obliged to still serve us food. The location isn't the easiest to navigate and is quite secluded, would be difficult to get around without personal transport Over all it was a satisfactory stay, rooms were clean and sufficient is the best way to describe this listing.

Great stay. Easy to locate and nearby from Lonavala Station. Clean rooms. Didn't really try any food there except for breakfast which was okay in taste. Overall.. a great stay!

Dr. Samender was very communicative and forward. Even before we booked, he helped us with any queries we had.During our stay as well, despite his absence at the holiday home Dr. was available. He ensured that we found our way to the holiday home with helpful directions. Mr. Vicky, the caretaker of the place was also quite helpful when we checked in. He gave us info on what we could do during our stay in and around Lonavala.

Great experience very much helpful host and staff present over there

Son un bon endroit si vous voulez simplement vous asseoir et vous détendre le week-end. Le gestionnaire il est aussi utile que l'un peut. Je ne pense pas avoir un unique se plaignent de ce lieu. Mais il vaut mieux prendre votre propre véhicule là-bas. Il n'y a pas lieu pittoresque à visiter à proximité. Dans l'ensemble, je suis complètement satisfait de mon expérience.

Pros: 1. Good host 2. Residential location 3. Great view Minus: 1. No shops or restaurants nearby. If you go with your own cab then it is not an issue. 2. Great apartment and lovely terrace. Only the overall building is a bit unclean. Otherwise the apartment is maintained well.

This listing is located in a nice, secluded, cozy neighborhood. The town center is 15 mins drive from this listing. My favorite part of this listing was the terrace. It was nicely designed and I spent a lot of time on it. The host was really nice as well. Nishant called frequently to make sure we have everything, along with food and travel suggestions. The beds were cozy, and bathroom was clean. The road to get to the location is a little bumpy, but the location overall is great.

It was a nice experience overall.. Spent my birthday at Nishant's apartment.. Nishant as well as the caretaker were very helpful with directions, and other details needed.. The caretaker Vicky also helped us with some errands needed from the market.. The apartment has a nice view, breezy ambiance.. perfect for a quick layover..

Perfect accomodation! The terasse is awesome! See u again One day!

The place was as it looks in the photos, very beautiful. Love the gazebo. Friendly host and caretaker. Would recommend you to have a transport in order to get around, since the public transport is expensive.

Nishants place is great if you looking for peace and quiet. It is in a gated community surrounded by mountain views. Do not expect any luxuries but it is a cozy studio with a private gazebo which has an amazing view. It is a five minute drive to Lonavala market and has quite a few food options (German bakery, dominoes, smoking joes etc). Nishant was in touch with us and made sure we were settled in alright. We had a great time and will definitely visit again.

Didn't find it worth the money we paid.

Loved my stay in this studio apartment . Its perfect for city people who need a break from their hectic lives . The studio is exactly as it is mentioned in the listing. Nishant is a great host, so is Vicky the caretaker. They both were constantly in touch with me through the stay duration . I didnt have any problem in finding the location , as i drove there in my car. The terrace is very good . Would love to stay here again in the future .

Bathrooms and kitchen could have been cleaner. All other facilities were good.

Fantastic altitude .... The outside is mind blowing .. Has a fantastic gazebo like place from where you view the lake n beautiful valley ... Good place to sit for long hours gazing to nature. The house is good to stay may not b the best but has a full fledge kitchen to use n cook food of your choice. Local stores are down the hill so better get your essentials on the way. Good is served at the club house ... Very tasty ... All in all a good place n very cooperative host. Cheers !! Trushant .. Thanks lived your place.

Amazing hosts and the location is a hidden gem. The house was clean, not far from the lake and the view was breathtaking. The fancy rare birds, the mango trees and James (the boxer doggo) added to the experience. Overall, very sweet people and a beautiful experience. Would most definitely visit again especially in the monsoons.

The place is good to stay provided you manage to get there and that the designated caretaker is available and not 'out of town suddenly'. We were told to wait at the clubhouse while food was being prepared. We made the mistake of turning on the fans as it was a hot summer day. A lady entered and told us to wait outside in the heat as we had the fans on and were wasting her electricity. Turns out this clubhouse isn't the host's. Regardless, I think it was messed up that one human tells 4 others to wait in the heat to save 10 mins of electricity. The time we landed the host has promised us that they'll take care of the barbeque. So while we were waiting for it to be done, at the last minute the guy comes and tells us that he will not do the barbeque for us. Which would have been alright had he told us earlier and not wasted two hours of our time. In the garden there were a few mangoes that had fallen on the ground. Because we took our dog, we did not want him to eat the raw mangoes so we picked them up and placed them in the kitchen. All hell broke loose when the maid came and saw those mangoes. She told us not to take them away and asked us to pay for them. Now, when we arrived, there was no one to help us check in and finding the place was a nightmare on its own. However, we pick a few mangoes off the ground and suddenly 5 people are in the house condemning our actions. However, the host realised the problems we were facing and provided us dinner on the house which was a good gesture. But did it make up for the troubles we faced? Not one bit. Overall, if I had to recommend this place on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being 'definitely recommend', I'd give it a 2.

Trushant is a very good and a warm host and made us feel like home at his farmhouse. The house was equipped with all the amenities and it was in a quiet and a serene location at the edge of the cliff with an awesome view of the lake. Perfect getaway place!

Ideal stay option for bigger families & groups. Its a beautiful farm house will all the necessary amenities. Loved the barbecue chicken tikka (just carry chicken from market) and you are all set for some mouthwatering grill stuff. Trushant and his caretaker both are very helpful (although i didn't managed to spend time with trushant & his family) that would have been the icing on the cake. You get a very good view of Mulshi backwaters from the property. Last but not the least, a open jeep safari towards the backwaters will surely be a treat for adventure seekers. Reaching here from mumbai / pune / lonavala is a bit tough as the roads are not in very good shape, however it was a very pleasant experience driving through jungles & villages. Once again thank you so much Trushant for your warm hospitality, hope to meet you again soon and this time you have to stay with us ;-)

Lovely place.

I went there for a weekend with husband, in laws and my 7 month old German Shepherd. I loved every second spent on the Farm. It is not too far from city yet very close to nature. Serene, peaceful, quiet, calm and cold. The lovely bungalow suits the environment. The sitting porch is the best thing I have seen in many years. If you happen to have a dog, he wouldn't want to come back from the Farm (like mine did!). Its a safe pet's (URL HIDDEN) puppy ran around the property without a leash on him. I haven't seen him this happy ever. Thank you Trushant for owning such a wonderful place. The food in the CLubhouse was wonderful and very suitably priced. The caretaker Pradip was very helpful and hospitable. Over all a 10 on 10 trip. Will recommend it to all pet owners and people who like to stay away from hustle of city.

Trushant was a perfect host. He ensured our stay was hassle free and catered to all our needs prior to stay.He had given us the keys to his beautiful place which is located next to mulshi lake. The place is perfect for chilling over weekend with friend and family. Its remotely located but it is not isolated. You can walk to the lake to take a dip or play frisbee ,fly a kite or bbq at nights. The patio/gazeebo has a stunning view. The place is pet friendly which is a big plus for me coz i have a tiny pug. Following things were kept for our disposal whch was really impressive 1. A fully equipped kitchen with all cooking utensils and basic utilities 2. A fully stocked fridge with water and other basics 3. Lot of Extra bedding 4. BBQ grill and coal 5. a caretaker who could do runs for you incase you needed something from nearest village overall, beautiful stay with wonderful memories thank you trushant!

It's a lovely, pleasant, well maintained home in tranquil neighborhood. Me and My friends had comfortable stay and enjoyed every bit of our stay there. The directions mentioned are very clear to easily find the location. Its exactly the same as shown in pics. I had a pleasant surprise to see two swings too which was a bonus for me :) It's hygienic and clean place. Caretaker - Mr Namdev kaka was very friendly and co-operative during the tenure. Thank you Mr Gulabrao and Namdev for your hospitality and making our get-together memorable. We strongly recommend this home away from home in Lonavala! Happy Holidays!

Amazing experience! The house has a modern yet rustic feel to it making it ideal for people old and young to enjoy equally. It's located in a quiet yet secure area. All rooms were well kept, clean and spacious. The owner (Mr. Gulabrao) was very co-operative and understanding for our needs from the start that's much appreciated. But a special mention and thanks to the caretaker (Mr. Namdev) who was extremely helpful, quick to respond and at our service 24/7 for everything ranging from directions, providing us with things required for our stay to giving us suggestions for food and other tourist attractions. Situated equidistant from main market and Lonavala ST Stand made it perfect for us to visit near by attractions and locate numerous food options. All in all a relaxing place to enjoy with family, would definitely visit again and happily recommend others. Thanks again for having us!

The place is exactly as described. No disturbances around and so peaceful. Just loved it. Wished to stay more. Will surely visit this prpoerty again. Thank u Mr. Gulabrao for such a beautiful and well maintained bungalow.

Great place. Awesome decor. Well maintained. Could not fault on any point. Whole family was awed bymy selection. Will definitely repaeat stay.

Awesome place. Must visit for Friends and Family. Only 1 issue caretaker was not giving AC remote :(

Pros: The Villa Garden Cleanliness The Caretaker Value for Money Beds Furniture Spacious Cons: 1 room in GF is not very private.

Location is perfect, caretaker was very helpful. Neat and clean. Need some improvements specially WiFi facility and allow to use kitchen

You will love the lawn and the verandah. The society is also very quiet. The interiors are basic but still charming.

We landed to Malavli via train and walked to the house for 20 min. The house is small but comfortable for 4 adults. The view outside the balcony is beautiful and serene. In the evening, for going to the market, the road was dark and it became a bit difficult to walk. The house was clean and the caretaker was kind enough to provide us with breakfast and water.

We had a nice stay for two nights. The location of the Bungalow is good and easily accessible. Prashant was very clear in his communications which helped us to reach there without any problem. Breakfast is provided by the caretaker, need to tell in advance. There are a few restaurants nearby which can be accessed even by walk.

Perfect place to stay on a weekend getaway. The property is well maintained and the location is serene and peaceful .

Very well furnished bungalow. No compromise has been done in the amenities. There's no wifi but Vodafone network with 3G works at the location. Cleanliness was awesome. Kitchen has all the amenities required for cooking food. If you are planning to stay long and cook your food then do take along with u all the masala and other things. Even if you can't then they have a caretaker who will get you whatever you want because market is nearby and he gets it thru his scooter. The caretaker was also very cooperative and helpful. Enjoyed the stay overall.

Quiet location. Space as described. Nice to spend time there with family. You will be better served if you have your own vehicle, to get around.

A beautiful, clean, very well setup holiday home. Extremely peaceful and we enjoyed our stay here. The only problem could be transportation. Tough to get cabs during heavy rainfall times, but if you have your own travel, this place would be an ideal holiday hangout. Much betterand, clean and spacious than ordinary reaorts. Loved the experience! The

Shakil's place was as described. It was clean, spacious, and not too far from the market if you had a vehicle. The double bedrooms with attached ensuites are on the top level and are very comfortable with AC's in both rooms. There were plenty of utensils to use for preparing home cooked meals on the gas cooktop provided. The host was very accommodating and helpful and a timely communicator. Even though we booked the villa for eight people only four of us ended up staying at the villa but it could easily accommodate eight persons. We had a comfortable stay and would recommend Shakil to future guests.

Nice place - but it is a part of a row house scheme- so if the guests in other bunglows are loud... things become tooo loud and noisy . There were guests who played loud music throughout the day and night.

Stayed here in month of May. In total 2 families with 2 infants and one child. A good place to stay with responsive host. Kitchen is fully loaded and specially useful in case of travelling with infants or kids. The place is well maintained. There is a caretaker who also takes care of daily cleaning and cooking if required.

Fully furnished well maintained property with all the modern amenities. Fully equipped kitchen with all the utensils in place incase you wish to cook. We had 4 kids so utensils and gas availability proved very handy for us. Good tasty home made food available from the caretaker Somnath. A perfect place for a family get together. Comfortable for 8 adults. The owner also ensured with upto date details of the location facilities etc. So a perfect start for us using Air bnb app.
