Fredy's Bungalow

Our stay was perfect in every aspect. They've got an excellent chef. Every single time he churns outs his best and sets a better benchmark than his previous one. The Chinese and their signature Kumaoni cuisine were delicious. I usually maintain a diet, but their tasteful dishes made me crave more and had my tummy filled. Gaurav took us for a walk after lunch around the Bungalow, reaching SatTal lake in about 45 minutes. He was very engaging and explained to us all the heritage sites on the way. The Ashram, a 100-year-old Church, and the post office set up during the British period –– all these, we would have not known if Gaurav hadn't shared his local knowledge. Reaching the lake, we did Kayaking. The lake water was still and the calmness around the lake was rejuvenating. The location of the Bungalow was perfect and we got to experience all these on our walk into the woods. Overall, the Bungalow is a highly recommended.

Our stay at Fredy’s was amazing. We were in for so many pleasant surprises. It all started with our entry in the courtyard outside the bungalow. The bungalow is constructed in European style. We got to know that the owner had migrated from Germany before independence. Do ask about their history from Anand ji or Gaurav or read the very thoughtfully written booklet about the property and it’s surroundings.of the booklet. The common lounge and the rooms have wooden flooring. All their furniture represents excellent craftsmanship. The location of the Bungalow was peaceful, away from the city noise. Although Bhimtal lake is not visible from the bungalow, the tall deodar trees, the lush greenery, and the never-heard sounds of birds make for a very pleasant set up. Gaurav, the manager, and his team gave us a royal treatment. Whatever we needed, they had it ready, even at a very short notice. There is simply no room for any feedback or complaints. Keep it up! Highly recommend. A must-try for their hospitality and unique vintage experience.

The Bungalow’s architecture sold me out! I and my friend stayed here for a night and the whole experience was unique and hand-crafted by the host. The location was semi-outdoors with tall deodar trees surrounding the Bungalow. The open patio at outdoors was clam and neatly maintained. Gaurav and his team were charming and they handled us with at-most delicacy. Such a warm hospitality team. They took us for a walk in the noon to the nearby SatTal lake. Gaurav accompanied us and gave us insights of the environment throughout the walk. We did kayaking at SatTal — it was simply stunningly beautiful and serene. Overall, this Bungalow is a must visit if you are looking for home-like hospitality with nature indulged activities.

The Wooden Bungalow is situated away from the Hustle Bustle of the city - very close to jungles. Best suited for naturists esp. Butterfly & Beatle enthusiasts. Rooms offer very basic amenities. My wife complained about the missing Full Length Mirror / Dressing Table in her room. We also wished if we had a chair / table in our room. Though there's not a single TVs in the entire Bungalow, we didn't miss it as we didn't go there to watch TV but some may miss it. Food is terribly expensive @ INR 600 per person. We felt the rooms too are expensive @ INR 5100 - INR 5200 per night as we later found cheaper rooms with similar or better amenities in the surrounding hotels like Mountain Club, which had a swimming pool as well. My son would have loved it but...
