Holiday houses in Mandi

Pros -Hidden gem in nature -Awesome food, Kanu ji can compete in master chef -Kanu ji and his family were so welcoming and friendly took really really good care of us -So get to experience actual pahadi tradition which is not blemished by anything -You can’t go to elsewhere, you are really just in a place(Can be con too depending on your preferences) Con -The trek path is not for everyone especially at night it can be risky. Was strenuous for my parents(who are senior citizens). I would ideally deduct 0.5 star for this, but because of hospitality, food and such a nice location went with full 5 stars :)

I came here looking for silence, but I found something far more meaningful, peace, warmth, and a feeling of home I didn’t know I was missing. The view from the balcony, with snow-capped peaks wrapped in clouds, brought tears to my eyes. Every meal was a hug in the form of food, made with care and love. Little Shreya’s laughter was a daily joy, and the treks with Pratish to the village and sunset point were moments of deep connection with nature, with people, with myself. I spoke with villagers who welcomed us like old friends, and their humility will stay with me always. This place wrapped me in stillness and simplicity. I came to unwind, but I left feeling deeply changed. I carry back local ghee and honey, yes but more than that, I carry gratitude, calm, and memories that will stay etched in my soul. Thank you for a stay that felt like healing.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful property nestled inside an orchard. The peaceful vibe of the place is truly unmatched — waking up to the sounds of nature and being surrounded by greenery was such a refreshing experience. The rooms were big, spacious, and spotless, with great attention to cleanliness and upkeep. The hosts have clearly put in a lot of love and care into maintaining the space. The location itself offers stunning views and a very warm, homely feel that instantly makes you feel at ease. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a serene getaway! Himanshu was very helpful and proactive right from the booking stage. His staff, Bhupi and his wife are also very warm and supportive. Mine was a solo trip but would love to come back with some company soon to enjoy the wonderful experience again.

Great value Really lovely calm energy and such a lovely place to rest. Really grateful for the experience and the hospitality 💙

We had an absolutely amazing stay over here from the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at home. The property itself is peaceful, clean, and tastefully designed, making it the perfect getaway spot. A heartfelt thank you to Govind ji and Bheem ji for being such gracious and thoughtful hosts. Their warmth, hospitality, and attention to detail truly made our experience special. Whether it was the delicious meals, helpful local tips, or simply their kind presence, they went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable stay. We’re already looking forward to coming back. If you're considering booking this place—don’t hesitate. You’ll love it as much as we did!

We stayed at Ikaya Kothi as a family of 6 members for 3 nights. Swaraj gave a brief description and a number of questions were answered about the place and I was compelled to book the stay. And this decision turned out to be the best one. This is an amazing stay, freshly done and a bit off the hush hush of the overcrowded town of Jibhi though being very close. The place has everything that one may need during their prolonged stay. The best part was definitely the village and the people. We were open heartedly welcomed by Maya Didi who was the local host of our stay and Vicky bhaiya, the care taker. They were more than welcoming in nature. We also visited their homes, went to their farms and also met the people of the village who were equally welcoming. Never did we feel outsiders during our stay. We did come here as travellers but sure we left with a huge family longing for our return. Running short on words hence leaving the space for next visitors to experience!!

I had an amazing experience staying at this Airbnb! The fully equipped kitchen made it easy to prepare meals, and having access to freshly grown vegetables added a delightful, homey touch. What truly stood out was the host’s warm, modest demeanor—genuinely caring without being overwhelming. Their welcoming presence made me feel instantly at ease. These thoughtful amenities and the host’s kindness made my stay exceptionally comfortable and joyous. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy, enriching, and heartfelt stay !

Gurmeet's place in Kais is beautiful. its two story standalone property having on road but safe parking. Place is 10 km from Kullu and about 25 km From Manali. Gurmeet, her husband and their two children are one of the best host. Stay has full kitchen so you can prepare your own meals, host can provide you delicious homemade meals if you prefers so. They also undertake treks and have good knowledge of surrounding landscape. property has beautiful garden and has uninterrupted view of river and mountains. Terrace view is awesome. Family as well as group can enjoy stay at properry since Gurmeet and her family is friedly and one can chat during meal preparation. I will recommend to stay at property for at least 3-4 days so that you can enjoy Kullu, Manali which are within hour reach. Also one can use this property as night halt on way to Leh, to and pro. I did visit attractions in Kullu on first day, manali on second , Did Bijli mahadev trek and Jispa on last.
