“This property is one of the best properties in Kasauli. Kasauli is a town situated on a hill and the farther up you are, the more peaceful and serene it will be. This property is the last civilian property before the airforce area which controls the hill further up to the peak. The views are breathtaking. It is higher than sunrise point and since it’s east facing you get to see sunrise from comfort of your room. No need to go to sunrise point. The staff is super helpful and warm. Indoor fireplace is one of the best things about this stay. We also loved the attic.” - by Ayoosh (India)
