StayVista at The Summer House 4BR w/ Lawn

Perched on a hilltop, in the picturesque town of Kasauli, lies this elegant homestay; The Summer House. It is an ideal hideaway for all those searching for some peace and quiet away from the hectic cities and the quintessential urban clamour. This cheery abode amidst luxuriant Himalayan greens is where love flourishes, where frames festooned on the ivy walls speak of freedom fighters' legacies, and where the birds tweeting and crickets chirping is indeed a natural melody for the ears. A pastel palette follows throughout the home, with oranges, blues and pinks, complementing Kasauli's soothing aura. The walls are ornamented with characteristic hand-painted branches that serve as a distinct brand. And what's more? Immerse yourself in the literary arts  & surround yourself with your tribe, some good times, good food, and nature in its purest form.
