Wood Vista Cottages was by far the best accomodation I had while in India. The road getting down to the property on the mountainside is a bit bumpy. But the seclusion and pristine mountain views are well worth it. The cottages themselves are like something out of a fairy tale, or Swedish tourist ad. I was traveling with my Dad, and both he and I loved sitting out on our porch in the evenings. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They upgraded us to the "Pine Cottage" for no other reason than to be kind. The property also offers personal bonfires in front of your cabins at night, which is a rare, incomparable experience with their delicious food from the restaurant. A communal bonfire is also offered if you want to make friends, but my Dad and I enjoyed our sequestered nookish privacy. My Dad was turning 71, and each of the staff came to wish him happy birthday one by one. They even made a kheer-type cake! In addition, they helped to arrange an excellent cab driver for us for our next trip to **********. Couldn't recommend this place more. Perfect for couples or families seeking a snug getaway from the hectic hustle-bustle and more touristy crowds you might find in Shimla.
