About the property:

A Colonial Homestead.

A colonial bungalow has its own distinctive charm that never seems to fade. Fredy’s Bungalow, nestled in the beautiful Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, longs to take you back in time. Set amidst the serene Deodar and Cypress trees, the bungalow appears to have come straight out of a story-book. It overlooks the Bhimtal valley and the mountain slopes that make a curious traveller’s refuge, a poet’s inspiration and an avid photographer’s imagination.The bungalow, which has four elegant bedrooms, has been refashioned in such a subtle way that it still holds on to its old character. Its wooden features, stone walls, high roofs and antique interiors are very much reminiscent of the colonial times, which have been preserved to give travellers an exclusive experience. Sojourning at Fredy’s Bungalow is just like sneaking into a fairy-tale world, where all you feel and witness around you is sheer daintiness.But, you don’t just have the bungalow’s architecture and setting to admire; there is so much more to take back home like the times that you spend around the dining table delighting in the delectable and fresh Kumaon cuisine and other Indian and continental dishes. Besides, you will be tempted more often to take your own nature trails, go deep into the forest for bird-watching and sit endlessly by the stunning lakes.Fredy’s Bungalow is your chance to be oblivious about your mundane life for a while and live in peace with nature.
