Holiday houses in Kagenari State Forest

This was my second visit to the Captain's Bungalow. For me, it is a place for self reflection and a place to admire what nature has to offer in its raw form. People here are fantastic hosts and leave you with a come-back feel - Perumal, Kishore, Lakshmi akka, Sundaresh, Thimmanna, Anil they all pamper you with simple things but great value. Rooms are rustic and cozy. They provide Simple tasty Malnad food with Great Love - ask for customisation they will go all the way to fulfil. Dogs in the campus keep you entertained and are helpful walking partners, especially Boney and Pinky. Wherever you see there is greenery (if you crib about insects and fauna, it is not your place. This place is a part of undisturbed nature). All day orchestra by birds, peacocks and crickets. Love every bit of it here. Unfortunately some guests brought in urban noise and loud music to CB. Sad to see how some people want to live the same life in such peaceful places. Luckily they stopped it on request!

Could we make an exception and give six stars instead of five? It's only been a couple hours since we checked out, but we are already missing 4Cs. The hospitality of the host family is amazing. That's really the difference maker. The tranquil location on a plantation is unbeatable. Such professional staff. The food: Variety (including curry from the fruits of a 300-year-old Jackfruit tree on the plantation) + very tasty + amazingly affordable.The friendly dogs, Sanju and Ninja, accompanied us on long walks during our 10-day long stay. We enjoyed the rain & the sunshine reflected off those rain washed leaves. Such a serene location. Clean. Shower with very hot water, good pressure. We appreciated the paid Laundry service. As we think about it, this is among the top five in the hundred or so Airbnbs that we stayed in around the world. It's like we are leaving family. And I don't think we can say anything more than that

An absolutely unforgettable stay! Everything was flawless – the accommodation was beautifully maintained and super comfortable (5/5), and the hosts were beyond amazing – more like friends who made us feel at home from the moment we arrived (5/5). The food was delicious, local, and made with love (5/5). But the real cherry on top was the hidden gem of a viewpoint attached to the stay – a stunning surprise that made the experience even more magical. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort, warmth, and a bit of wonder!

Really a great stay, we a family of 12 stayed and enjoyed the hospitality and food. Very friendly and accommodative.

My wife and I were yearning for a peaceful weekend getaway from the hustle bustle of Bangalore city life, and Chandan's cottage offered what we dreamed of. Nestled deep in the lush forest, this hideaway offered a rare and magical connection with nature. The large glass windows framed breathtaking views of trees swaying gracefully in the wind and shimmering under the gentle rain, creating a living painting. The balcony is a tranquil spot where you can soak in the soothing sights and sounds of the surrounding forest. Throughout our stay, the symphony of the forest- birds chirping, insects stridulating- kept us delightfully guessing about the mysterious creatures around us. Every corner of the place reflects the care and love poured into its creation. Thank you Chandan and team, for sharing your beautiful slice of paradise with us!

A Memorable Coorg Escape – Perfect Monsoon Getaway Nestled in the heart of a lush green coffee plantation, our stay was nothing short of magical. The serene silence paired with the soothing Coorg monsoon created the perfect setting for a peaceful retreat. It was our family’s first visit to Coorg, and we absolutely loved every moment of it. From the start, Zubin was extremely helpful, providing clear and prompt instructions before check-in. The stay was conveniently located just off the main road with ample and well-maintained parking space. We stayed in a beautifully done 2BHK — spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. Mr. Vishwam and his wife were incredibly warm and hospitable, going out of their way to make us feel at home. One of the highlights was a short but delightful walk through the coffee estate that surrounds the property on both sides. We opted for dinner and breakfast during our stay, and both meals were absolutely delicious — far better than anything we could have f

This place is the perfect getaway to disconnect from the hustle and truly recharge your mind, body, and soul. From the moment we arrived, Suhan ensured our stay was both incredibly comfortable and filled with adventure. He treated us to delicious homemade meals that felt like a warm embrace and then made sure we balanced it all with exciting activities—a scenic trek, a thrilling rappelling experience, and a mesmerizing waterfall and sunset adventure. Every moment was thoughtfully curated, keeping safety in mind, to offer the best of both relaxation and exhilaration. If you're looking for a weekend escape that blends tranquility with adventure, I highly recommend Bowline Nature Stay!

We’re a close-knit group of friends who’ve known each other for over 30 years, and we were looking for a quiet, private getaway—and Akarsh’s place was absolutely perfect. Tucked away on top of a hill with a stunning 360° view, it offered complete seclusion with no one else around. Even in April, the breeze kept things cool and comfortable throughout the day. If you’re after a scenic, peaceful retreat where you won’t be disturbed—and won’t be disturbing anyone else—this is the place for you. The bonus - Akarsh himself is super friendly and approachable. He even joined us on a couple of treks to nearby hills, which made the experience even more memorable. We had an amazing time and made some unforgettable memories.
