Jeevan Singh

If you are looking for the perfect mountain staycation escape, this is it. Exceeded all of our expectations. The room was incredibly cozy, spotless, and came with breathtaking views from the window. We spent our mornings drinking coffee on the deck watching the mist clear, and our evenings by the fireplace. The hosts were incredibly welcoming. It truly felt like a home away from home.

DG

Dev Ghosh

We originally booked Corbett Foothills Retreat for its proximity to Jim Corbett National Park, but ended up enjoying the property as much as the safari itself. The peaceful setting, clean rooms, and personalized hospitality made a huge difference. The hosts were always available with local recommendations and ensured that our stay was comfortable throughout. It's the kind of place where you can truly switch off from city life and enjoy nature at your own pace.
