Vacation rentals with lake access in Naina Range

Firstly, the property has simply the best view of Bhimtal Lake. It's a beautiful place where you can spend time with your loved ones. The rooms also are facing the lake . The host is very helpful and friendly. It felt like home. As I am a local here I visit different properties but the Pencil House is one of the best property that I have been to in Bhimtal. Definately would recommend people to experience the beauty of this property but would also request the visitors to keep the place clean. Thank you Chitra Ji for the lovely stay ❤️

An amazing stay in a peaceful, secluded location—perfect for unwinding. The property was spotless, well-equipped, and beautifully maintained. The host was welcoming and attentive. Highly recommend this tranquil retreat and would love to return!

Dear Namita, I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for offering us your beautiful property. The place was immaculately clean and maintained in pristine condition. Deepak Ram and Kamal, the staff members, were extremely proactive and took excellent care of us. Their culinary skills are truly exceptional! I will definitely recommend this haven to my friends and family who seek a peaceful retreat away from bustling destinations like Nainital. Thank you once again to Saarthak for accommodating our last-minute request. We look forward to visiting again soon! Warm regards, Jaydeep

It was a great experience and host was also very helpful .The place is commutable to others destination easily .

Property that’s a must visit..from exorbitant interiors to lush green surroundings there’s nothing that this property lacks .. the home cooked meals prepared by mahesh ji were finger licking good . Pankaj took good care of us and not to forget Tauhid looked after our every need .

The property is just as it looks in the photos. The biggest plus point is that it is centrally located with everything literally within 5-10 mins walking distance - grocery, stationary, restaurant, mall road, lake, medicine shop everything. It was neat and clean and very well kept. As soon as you enter, you'd feel at home. For us, specially the kitchen was most helpful as we had a young kid and we had prepared her food. I have never stayed in an AirBnB property which had a better equipped kitchen. Next, as a host Suruchi is a superhost. As soon as we had booked the property, she had been with constant touch with us and responded to all of our queries with a lot of patience. She was so kind that she actually allowed us to check in early, even though she already had other guests. She arranged regular caretaker for cleaning, utensils etc. She even arranged a car for us for drop to Delhi from her contacts. We are very thankful and recommend her and her property. 5 stars without a doubt

We stayed here for 2 nights, and what truly stood out was the absolutely stunning view of Naini Lake..right from the bed and balcony. The location is quite convenient too, just a 10-minute walk down a public staircase to Mall Road and the lake. Pallavi was a great host, always available with the right information at the right time. Caretaker Geeta, was also lovely and responsive whenever we needed assistance. A few things to keep in mind.. access to the homestay is physically challenging. one has to climb down over 100 steep steps from the parking area, and the climb back up can feel like a marathon (though staff is available to help with luggage). It's also advisable to have a clear understanding with the host regarding available amenities. Google Maps location on Airbnb was slightly off. Ask for correct location to avoid making a u-turn on narrow road with steep slope. Our stay was memorable.. the view alone makes it worth coming back. Will definitely visit again!

I had an amazing stay at Vipin’s place for 3 days with my family. The host went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, even providing us with a taxi driver’s contact, which made getting around incredibly convenient. The property was spotless and situated in a beautiful location with stunning views. It was spacious, well-equipped, and perfect for our group, offering both comfort and ease throughout our stay. I highly recommend staying at Vipin’s place—it’s truly a gem, and the thoughtful touches made all the difference. We can’t wait to visit again!

We stayed here with family for few days and highly recommend this home stay. This is a must visit place for it's beautiful lake view, clean rooms, helpful staff, great location, pet friendly and above all the hosts are extremely helpful. You will feel right at home. Families and Pet parents can simply close thier eyes, book and go they Wil really enjoy. We highly recommend this place and will go there over and over again and recommend to our family and friends. Special thanks for Mr. Nath for going extra mile and taking personal effort of taking care of our golden retriever when we were away, no one would ever do this. 10 on 10 hosts made our stay wonderful. Thanks once again !

The place is great and the view is amazing. The food is good too and pretty reasonable. The path to the place is a bit tricky but otherwise all great.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this property in bhimtal, and it was a truly amazing experience. The property is perfectly located, offering breathtaking views of the lake and surroundings, which added great value to our trip. The staff was extremely courteous, especially Mr Gaurav Negi, and he was attentive to our needs all the time even at 11 pm, we felt comfortable throughout our stay. The rooms were well-maintained, spacious, and equipped with all amenities, making it a perfect blend. Food quality was great too. Overall, Gaurav provided us with a memorable stay in Nainital. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for all in one.

The place is very beautiful and the hosts as well. Worth the money and feasible in everything.

The place is big and well furnished. The place is very close to Mall road and in way to Raj Bhavan. The most helpful aspect was Harsh who was always available and helped us in every need. It was a good stay and would love to come back.

We enjoyed our stay in Bhimtel and the accommodation provided for a very relaxing stay. The terrace and swing chair made for some very peaceful sunrises and sunsets.

Host is so kind. Staff were helpful. Views are awesome.. place is super and in cheapest budget.. food is delicious and fresh..

i would say great place to stay , specially if you are looking for offbeat place . however just one thing ..to reach this cottage u need a expert driver who can drive in a steap uphill road which takes u to this from main road . it is like 200 meters .however this is actually very tough tarren to drive .

We had a great stay at Mayank’s property! It was exactly like the photos; the furniture and linen felt clean. The staff was exceptionally helpful and sweet, and the food was excellent— just like the other reviews described (charged additionally). The only challenge we faced was that the road to the property was still under-construction at the time of our visit (about the same time as this review) and it made it a bit difficult to drive to the location. While the terrace is quite nice and the views from the windows are too, the lack of proper roadways made the place unwalkable too. If you’re looking to spend most of your time at the property like we did, with the occasional visit to commercial Mukteshwar, then this place is just for you. Would also recommend visiting restaurants like ‘Potpourri’ by the Birdcage. There’s a supermart for basic necessities. As a sidenote, just a polite reminder to carry your own trash bag to avoid littering and dampening the natural beauty of the place :)

Had a great weekend staying at Sameer’s place. It was as beautiful as it looks in the pictures and very picturesque. Interiors are very very calming and beautiful and not just a bonfire but an actual working fireplace in the living room made it even better. We had the privacy and calm we needed and the best part is central location. Everything is in close proximity. Kamla auntie is another highlight for this place. A very mannered, inviting and friendly care taker who’ll make your life very easy while you are there. And boy does she know how to cook🤤. The best home cooked meal experience I’ve had. Only one pointer that I have: It’s up a steep slope which is quite narrow and the road is not the best. If you’re travelling in a low slung car (mine was a Verna and we had to be very careful) you need to be careful/skill full. SUV guys rejoice 😅. Sameer ji was a perfect host as well communicating perfectly. Thank you Sameer and Kamla auntie.

it was awesome .. nice property.. we did not faced any issue. location is beautiful, just on Lake.. service is good. overall it was wonderful staying there. nicely taken care by host .
