The place is just dreamlike. It's a perfect getaway from City. The cottages were clean and had everything you can need. If you are a nature lover, it is a must go place. I would recommend to go for a hike or walk early in the morning to experience the beauty of this place. Thank You SA-V for recommending this place. We loved our Weekend stay :)
