Earthen home

The mountains are calling, and I must go.” John Muir quote perfectly sums up our feelings on arrival at the La Maison enTerre.  Soak in the views with landscapes changing like a seasonal canvas along with warm bukhari stove heater with a warm cup of Doodh Patti and local homemade Pahari (Himachali) cuisines ranging from Siddus , Kukdi ki roti , Tadkiya Bhat, Rajma Madra to Brunj (pahadi pudding). The space AS QUOTED BY A GUEST "When a friend of mine posted some pics about this amazing place on her page, I fell in love with this place even before going there. Sitting on the beautiful private balcony of our room, with great view in front on me, was simply stunning. The full homestay is well maintained, with great respect of the natural environment. Arvind, is so caring and always present without being intrusive." It is surrounded by lush green trees wild flowers and a large garden, a tree house and a green house where we grow organic vegetables for our guests. We generate our own solar electricity and also recycle the waste grey water of our homestay in order to conserve the Kasauli enviorenment. Sourcing food locally from the farmers is something we pride ourselves on. The food for our kitchen is largely bought from the surrounding villages and our menu is based on sustainability and seasonality.The food we serve is based on the fresh ingredients and healthy without compromising on flavour. We try to give a flavour of the food of Himachal and its distinct dishes. We strictly cook food in brass and cast iron vessels to prevent chemical reactions not compromising with health. We are not a luxury hotel but the experience keeps changing on every visit of yours. Guests are to be respectful to our community members and house keeping staff at all times. We do not have a 24/7 reception but are always available for our guests Guest access There is a machan admist the trees where you can enjoy a warm cup of coffee. We live in the house you are staying in, so you will meet us daily - we will give you our phone numbers and are available to answer questions and share tips about the local area. We are very happy to help where we can! We are a part of the forest around us and this means our home is a home to the wilderness dwellers too. You may encounter monkeys, insects, messes, bees, spiders, ants, snakes, etc. depending on the season. There is also the soothing Koyal's song in the mornings along with a few honks down the road.
