    It is a hidden gem.. If you are visiting Aritar and planning to stay there then this is the place for you. Premium rooms with reasonable rates and the beautiful lake makes it a perfect place to stay in Aritar. Some insects may be there as it is surrounded by jungle but those are not harmful. You can ignore those.

    Awesome place..... not sure why this property is not highlighted like other locations. Rooms are big, clean, easily accommodates 3 ppl, foods are okay however the main USP is the awesome view of the lake and the forest. Plenty of open spaces.... In all, this property is wonderfully maintained, good staffs. Thanks to the hosts - Dev Raj Gurung for his guidance and help overall. Five Star Rating for this property and making our stay so wonderful. regards, Indranil - Stayed on 29th March

    Splendid location…. The view of the lake and the surrounding pine forest is serene and explicit… The only problem is since the rooms are near to the lake and forest, plenty of mosquitos and ants crawls inside the room… Food served was average…. Service was good….. The owners were very courteous…..
