Bhimtal Lake : locations de vacances en maison d'hôtes

Everything was good.... Had an amazing lake view. The last 300m was steep drive, though we enjoyed the ride. Mohit (caretaker) was very helpful and prompt. cook was making limited but good food, as good as home cooked meal. All in all a good experience.

The place is simply awesome. It is located right on top of the hill overlooking the Bhimtal lake. Be prepared for an uphill steep drive to the Magpie Retreat ! It is just a KM, though! Surrounded by lush green forest and with many birds chirping around (Magbie, Treepie, Blue Jay, Paradise Flycatcher, Thrush, Spotted Dove, Plum Headed Parakeet, Grey Headed Canary Flycatcher, etc.) The place is aptly named Magpie Retreat. Certainly carry a good zoom lens and a binocular. One can take strolls around the place. Very serene, calm, peaceful. Ideal location for unwinding. Hosts are very thoughtful. Have taken care of little but important things - Books, Monopoly, Scrabble, Cards, Umbrella, et al. Wonderful caretaker (Mohit). Delicious home made food. In summary, it is worth the vacation and value for money !

Beautiful Location, Picturesque views from the place, exactly as described... Host Neha gave amazing suggestions and Mohit and staff gave excellent service... Food was delicious... Would surely recommend this place to friends !!!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a charming homestay in Mukteshwar, and it was nothing short of delightful! From the moment I stepped through the door, Sharda, the owner, welcomed me with such warmth and hospitality that I instantly felt at home. She’s an incredibly kind and thoughtful host, always making sure her guests have a comfortable and unforgettable experience. The tent-style accommodations were cozy and well-kept, striking the perfect balance between adventure and comfort. The service was top-notch, and the food? Absolutely delicious—home-cooked, fresh, and bursting with flavor. One of the standout moments of my stay was meeting their adorable pet dog, who completely won me over! Plus, the homestay is pet-friendly, which is a fantastic perk for animal lovers. If you’re on the hunt for a serene getaway with exceptional hospitality, a warm, homely atmosphere, and stunning views, this is the spot for you. I can’t recommend it enough!

Stay was good. Although restaurant is being set up by host. The property is close to mall road and walk is around 300 m (hill walk). Caretaker and staff was very helpful.

It was a lovely serene place to stay. Its best for having a peaceful time. the view from there was amazing. And the meals , maggi,tea they provided was really good. Just that this airbnb is a-bit secluded,Its far from Almora so I would suggest to go to the place jn day light. Driving in night is quite risky. Also there is nocafe,restaurant nearby so it will be better to go with group of people there to spend good time .

We stayed two nights at Nakshatra, and had a great time! The views from the place are stunning, the area quiet (you can hear birds chirping in the morning), the staff helpful, and the cottage spacious and comfortable! The staff cooked whatever food we asked them for, and even set up a bonfire on our request. Beautiful place!

We were looking for a chilled out property where we could work during the afternoons, chill during the evenings and have safe arrangements for cooking food. This place met all our expectations. The room has an attached kitchen and it has a gas stove, all cutlery and cooking utensils. We were also provided with a Microwave so we were mostly self sufficient with things. The most favourite part of our stay was the Balcony! It’s been 10 days post our stay and I miss Nakshatra’s balcony every day! It has nice mountain view and you’d get to see beautiful civil twilight during evenings. This place also has a caretaker “BooBoo Jii” who is very courteous and would do everything to make sure you have a nice stay. Alongside BooBoo Ji we had a cook as well who cooked decent food. Lastly, we were 3 friends, and room was spacious enough to accommodate an extra bed. The only one thing that could have been better is the JioFi network in the rooms - but.. when you such a view outside why not sit outside and work with fresh air and the view! All the best Anurag. I would definitely be back within a month.
