Vanilla County

We stayed in the ‘Vanilla’ room, located in a beautifully restored colonial-era bungalow. With views of lush greenery and peaceful courtyards, the setting was incredibly tranquil—an ideal place to unwind and soak in the crisp mountain air. Meals at Vanilla County are a real treat. Cooked with fresh, organic ingredients sourced locally (many from their own garden), the food is rich in flavor and full of traditional Kerala warmth. With their freshly baked bread from the in-house bakery, every bite is crafted with care and bursting with flavor. A gentle stream runs nearby, and the area is full of scenic spots to explore—small waterfalls, walking trails, and forest paths. It’s perfect for nature walks, birdwatching, or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings. What truly makes Vanilla County special is the warm, personal attention from the hosts. Their genuine care, thoughtful conversations, and local insights create a welcoming, home-like experience that stays with you long after you leave. Highly recommended for couples, families, or anyone in need of a rejuvenating retreat.

Our guide to the stream nearby was coffee the explorer. He is a lab who guided us to the stream and made sure we followed him all the way to the stream as he enjoyed playing in water and also guided us to the stream and then when it was time to leave he took our shoes and started running towards property that is when we knew it was time to leave. Loved the experience coffee gave us along with the hospitality of the hosts and food was amazing very close to heart 💓

We had the best experience at Vanilla County. The hospitality and service were truly top-notch, making us feel at home throughout our stay. The highlight was definitely the authentic food – every meal was delicious, and breakfast was a treat with their home-produced jams, breads, cakes, and more. Everything was so fresh and yummy, it’s hard to describe in words. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a warm, authentic homestay experience.

Food and rooms were awesome, everything was perfect, could sense the thoughtfulness and attention to detail in all the amenities provided, and the best courteous staff one could come across with a never say no attitude, could add tv to the rooms and mobile connectivity was a bit low. The packed delicacies were a cherry on top.

Really enjoyed the short break at vanilla county and it was the perfect getaway from our busy it lives. The property is beautifully maintained, offering a calm and serene environment. The food was outstanding, and the hospitality truly made our stay special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat!

Vanilla county is in a calm and quiet location. The host & staff are very friendly and ready to help anytime. The food served was delicious. We stayed in the garden facing rooms and the rooms were nice and clean. Overall a nice experience though the charges are bit on the higher side for rent, food etc.
