I am falling short of words to describe this place. One of the best properties I have visited so far. When you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city life, this place is the best option you can decide on where you can rejuvenate yourself. I visited this place with my husband and we had a great time. What else you would ask for! when the host is your old friend. Thank you KP for being an ultimate host and making our trip memorable. We had the best of traditional Rajasthani food. Leopard safari is something I would like to recommend every one visiting this place. Incredible property. It's all worth your time and money.

Krishnapal(KP) has developed this place with a lot of passion and details. This place has everything to take you away from the usual rut. KP's personal involvement during the stay, conversations are highlights. The place is in a village in the midst of farms. You can see mountain ranges afar and visit farms. We did a lot of things differently to spend the two day stay well. Food was homely, tasty and thoughtfully designed spread. We missed the jungle safari as we were advised against it due to the weather. But visit to sunset point and caves was great fun for kids and everyone else. Wish good luck to KP and hope to visit the place back again.

We stayed at country retreat from 10th jan to 29 th Jan 2022. I was looking for a quiet vacation close to nature and I couldn't have found a better place. The place exceeded my expectations. It is a small bungalow amidst acres and acres of farm land mainly cultivating Mustard and wheat. In January, Mustard fields were in full bloom in most parts ( I would imagine 15th December to 15th January would be the best time to visit the place when mustard fileds are dazzling display of vibrant yellow.) It was spectacular site. Our daily routine was to go for a morning walk in the direction of sunrise and evening walk in the direction of sunset. It was simply superb. We were not interested in too much of sightseeing and so we were very comfortable just spending the remaining part of the day reading and lazing around on the lawn or on the terrace. It was very cold and KP, our host provided bonfire every night, either on the terrace or on the lawn. At night, the sky was clear above us and we could see stars in abundance , though I must admit that not as many as I had hoped for, but still it was great experience. There are several types of birds nearby and we spend a lot of time spotting various types. The rooms were good and we could get good sleep. You would be better off asking for a heater if you visit in January. The only slight drawback in winter months was that since the boilers were small, we had to ask for an additional buckets of hot water that KP promptly provided. Other than that linen was of good quality and beds were good. About the host. KP was a wonderful host and dined with us everyday. He was very accommodative , and was ready to help us with everything. He was very friendly and stayed in the bungalow. We even visited his family in a nearby village. he really made us feel at home. Internet was reasonable outside but not in the rooms, but one could easily make a video call from the terrace. Food was generally good and there was a plenty of local cuisine. The place is ideal for just relaxing and chilling out. There is not much to do if you are seeking an active vacation with lot of sightseeing. ( KP provides for a tractor ride and a horse ride.) I would recommend it strongly to someone looking for peace and solitude. I was in fact, very happy that KP has not done anything to spoil the beauty of the place by attempting to provide swings and slides and other recreational facilities. Here, you are part of the unspoilt beauty of the farms that surround you and it is simply spectacular.…

For me this was once a lifetime seven star experience. Simple reason being the owner Krishnapal was with us all the time. In fact he was with us many days before we arrived. Helping with the general route map, how and when to locate the leopard, where else to stay etc. He was there to greet us. He was there every minutes till we departed. Sadly one night was not enough. This is a working farm with hundreds of working farms around us. You can see how large farms work. Meet the farmer families. Walk for hours if you want to. He took for a sunset walk up a big rock nearby. He took for a post dinner walk to a white rock nearby. Luckily it was full moon night. See the photos. Inside the farm stay the rooms and bath were fantastic. The verandahs, courtyards and gardens were lush green with trees and fruits. We changed our location between different meals. The food quality was outstanding. Tasty home made food. He discussed many days beforehand what we like and don't. The owner and host is helpful warm and a great company. The staff and cook were nice too. . Do enjoy if you visit.…

Away from city lights and chaos. Giving you complete feel farm life. Everthing is perfectly planned in this property be it garden, pool , plants and even the way the rooms were designed giving u complete feel of being in Rajasthan.I enjoyed the pool therapy . It felt as if my body was weightless and each of my nerve was rejuvenated. The night view of Milky way glaxy and the host was amazing. The trip refreshed my soul completely. To sum up once you visit, you will wish to visit it again. Photos won’t do justice so you must stay for few days to experience the positive energy.

It’s very very hard at times to review a place, but I must say my trip to this place was worth giving a review and it stood at par with excellence... This place gives you an utmost feel of actually staying in a warm, cosy environment surrounded by lush greenery n breathtaking views of the peaceful village surroundings; and to your amazement it won’t give you any kind of commercialised home stay experience. The food is simple yet delectable. You can enjoy the near by Safari’s at Jawai. One can relax and can get unwind in such a serene, calm and composing environment. The host Mr. K.P Singh himself ensures that each n every individual who is visiting their place should be given a personalised experience and you still don’t feel like a guest, it’s a heaven for those who would really enjoy peace and tranquility. I loved it and would highly recommend this place.... absolutely fabulous and thank you so much for my making my vacation a wonderful one to cherish it forever... …

I would call it perfect weekend getaway. Located and surrounded in the lap of nature away from city chaos. The best way to experience the farm life. Extremely neat and clean ambience. The USP was the pool it was simply a therapy to be in the pool. Delicious authentic rajsthani food. It was one the best holidays i could gave thought of during COVID. High standards of cleanliness and hygiene were maintained. To sum up it was away from home still being at home experience. The hospitality offered by Mr. Krishnapal was incredible. Extremely thankful to him he gave us complete overview of the farm and near by areas. Would love to visit again.
