7. Amazing cabin in the lap of nature (from USD 25)
Visitors to this remarkable seven-room getaway will need to be prepared for a strong communal experience: this accommodation is something of a guest house but with a very “family” vibe where people who initially book in for two days end up staying for over a week. The views from the cabins are stunning, and a hiking trip in any direction will end up bringing you face to face with beautiful nature. Grazing bison are frequent visitors to the grounds, and the on-site staff will look after you like family. It’s somewhat remote - you’ll be sent directions when you book - but you can pay for delicious home-cooked meals and profits from the business go to local people in need. It is a wholly worthwhile place to stay when in Coonoor.
