Holiday houses in Shishila

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!

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!

1. Around 45 minutes from Chikmagalur and 30 minutes from Belur — close to Mudigere and Nandipura. 2. The cottage is in a big 25-acre coffee estate — quiet and nicely made. 3. It has two cosy rooms and a small kitchen with a microwave, fridge, toaster, and water purifier. 4. The host is kind, helpful, and knows the area well. 5. The food was really tasty — we enjoyed every meal. 6. Great place to relax and do nothing. 7. Weather was perfect in mid-May — around 18°C at night. 8. It feels private, but now and then you might hear trucks or buses going by.

This is a perfect place if you are a pet parent like us and are looking for a place with home cooked food and serene surroundings around you. It has a beautiful stream at a walkable distance where you can play with your pet. You can also go for a trek which is guided by a local and gives you a beautiful view at the hill top. The Homestay is taken care by Sakshath and his parents who are very warm and welcoming. Honestly, it felt like home and we were taken very good care of.

Amazing property, peaceful surrounding, clean linens, and great food. Geetanjali was very helpful and accommodate to our needs during the stay. Happy and Doodle are the sweetest furry friends, they made our trip extra special.

We had such a fantastic time at Manu's place during our visit! His adorable house was surrounded by stunning trees and greenery, making it such a cozy spot. The four dogs were an absolute delight, and their playful antics kept us smiling the whole time. We enjoyed so much delicious food—definitely the best we've had in a while, and totally worth every bite! Manu even took us to a gorgeous nearby waterfall, showcasing his love for nature and his helpful spirit. All in all, it was a wonderful experience!

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.
