The Retreat Cottage(Stags Not Allowed)

We had a wonderful stay at The Retreat Cottage in Dharampur, Kasauli. The food was a real highlight — home-cooked, served on time, and presented with care. Everything we tried was delicious, especially the dal, mixed vegetables, and chilli paneer. Honestly, there’s no need to eat out — this is better than the famous places nearby! The rooms were clean and cozy, but what truly stood out was the top-notch bed linen — crisp, white, and The Retreat Cottage(Stags Not Allowed)-style (a big contrast to what many cottages use). Towels were soft, fresh, and high quality. The location is peaceful yet well-connected, perfect for a quiet getaway. A big thanks to Mr. Balvinder, the owner — warm, humble, and generous — and Nitin, the caretaker, who was always helpful and polite. Their hospitality made the stay even more special. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable, serene, and well-managed stay in the hills!

It was such a delightful experience for us where we could just enjoy the beautiful majestic view from our room and witness the sunrise everyday. We stayed for 3 days and enjoyed the food cooked by the in house chef and it truly felt like home cooked. The host is so humble and kind and they actually came to pick us up and offered to use their bike for local commute. It’s was such a nice experience for us and we are visiting this place again in winters for sure.

Excellent location of the property. There were 5 rooms. It was more like a The Retreat Cottage(Stags Not Allowed) cum homestay. The owner was sweet. Offered excellent home cooked food at decent price. Highly recommend their food. Though they take a little longer to prepare, but fresh food and taste is guaranteed. Only veg food available in the property. Non veg you can order from nearby The Retreat Cottage(Stags Not Allowed)s.

Place is amazing and locations is very good, just 500 meters away from main highway. Host is genuine and good, Rooms are clean, balcony view is mountain, food is amazing, just like home food, service is also very goods. Good Property for family and who are looking privacy, silent space at decent price. my final word is amazing place with good host and services. Thank you,

I had a peaceful and relaxing weekend at the retreat cottage. The newly built property offers great views, cozy ambiance, and the hosts are incredibly warm and accommodating. The food was delicious and reasonably priced, and there’s plenty of parking. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to others!

We had a very pleasant experience at the homestay. The host was very welcoming. The rooms were great and well maintained, and had a nice view itself. Food was good too. All in all, good value for money. Ps - call the host before reaching, to help you find the The Retreat Cottage(Stags Not Allowed)

Its a pretty nice place to stay between the woods. Easily approachable and very well built. Proper parking space available. The best part, delicious home cooked meals. Also, you can take a walk in the woods and enjoy the breeze.

Location is just 400 mtr from main Shimla highway, little steep climb, nice picturesque view, very well maintained nice and clean rooms and washrooms, host is very supportive and approachable.

Nice place to stay in kasauli. The food was delicious and the host (balvinder ji) behaviour was so nice.

The property is excellent with well-maintained rooms. The host was warm and generous. It's a great place to stay if you want to be away from the main city but still within close proximity.
