Hide Away Hotel, Chail
This hotel is located in a very quiet and unusual location in Chail — a piece of peace in the lap of nature. The rooms are double-bedded, designed in a hut-style, and each has an attached toilet, which is slipproof — safe and clean.
The specialty is that each room has another double bed on the terrace, so it is possible to stay four people in one room.
Walnut, apple, peach, pine and oak trees are spread around the hotel. The lawn outside has quite an open space, greenery and a wonderful atmosphere with cool breeze — ideal for getting rid of the June heat.
The food is very homely, tasty and healthy — not luxurious but satisfying. Lying in bed at night with the comfort of a sheet or blanket is truly a dreamlike feeling.

We just planned a family trip to Chail and I was calling my friends regarding a good home stay in Chail, the same time I searched online and saw "The Hide Away Homestay" with best price. After going through the photographs of rooms and location, I was surprised about the price deal. I was of the opinion that in actual it may not be the same, but when we reached the Homestay it was totally a wonderful experience, ambiance was awesome, room was beyond our expectations, everything inside was very neat and clean. The outside view, greenery, evening music and delecious food cooked in home stay will definitely make you think to visit here again and again. I recommend you to atleast visit the site, you will definitely like it ...!!!

A Wonderful Home Away from Home!
I recently stayed at this charming homestay and had an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality. The hosts were incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to help with anything needed.
The room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the essentials. I especially appreciated the cozy ambiance and the attention to detail — it felt like a perfect blend of comfort and authenticity.
The location was also ideal — peaceful, yet conveniently close to major attractions and local markets. The homemade food served was another highlight — fresh, delicious, and made with love!
Overall, this homestay made my trip even more memorable. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a warm, personalized, and enriching travel experience. Can’t wait to come back again!

Homestay is run by most humble and welcoming guys (Mr Arun bhai and Mr Neeraj bhai). They really made us feel like we were at home.
Food here is amazing and has a nice, homely and fresh taste. Special mention to himachali dham which was prepared with so much dedication and served with so much of warmth that made it a very memorable experience.
Property is pet friendly and they really took good care of our pet.
Rooms are spacious having wide windows with a nice view of outside. There is good amount of storage space as well. Bathrooms are squeaky clean.
The homestay is situated at very picturesque location amidst the nature surrounding by forest of deodar, pine, ban trees and plenty of other flora.
Special thanks to the owners for showing us the sunset point and the meadow on the hilltop. These spots are best for the morning and the evening walks.

"Absolutely enchanting! Our stay at Hideaway Cottages Homestay was nothing short of magical. From the cozy interiors to the serene surroundings, every detail was thoughtfully curated to ensure a perfect retreat. The hosts Arun Ji and Neeraj Chouhan were incredibly warm and accommodating, making us feel right at home. We enjoyed peaceful mornings sipping coffee on the porch, surrounded by lush greenery, and evenings cozied up by the fireplace. The attention to detail and impeccable cleanliness truly stood out. Without a doubt, Hideaway Cottages Homestay exceeded our expectations and left us longing for another visit. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a tranquil escape."

It's not a hotel, it's a farm stay with the facilities a decent hotel provides.
If you are a true nature lover, you are going to love this place for sure, it's a lifetime experience.
This farm stay has their own apple orchard, and vegetable garden, and to my surprise that e they even do bee farming .you can purchase fresh honey from them.
Go for nature walk, the valley view from this place is amazing in the morning and at night enjoy camp fire. Again if your are lucky to get clear sky you can do star gazing too.
Last but not the list, you will always remember the warm hospitality of Neeraj ji and Arun.
I have already started missing this place , surely going to visit this place again .👍

This Hode Away is truly a fantastic destination for a quite holiday with family and friends. You can take leisurely walks in all four directions in the beautiful environment. . There is a huge plain ground for those who want to indulge in some sports. Or just carry your ground sheets, spread these and have a family picnic.
It is just 500 yards from the main road yet you are away from the traffic nuisance.
Both Neeraj & Arum managing this property are so humble, respectful and efficient.
Would like to come back time and again

A magical place nestled in deep wooded area far away from the maddening crowds and traffic. This quaint place is worth visiting.
The owners Mr. Arun and Mr. Neeraj were very cooperative and affable.
Food was pure vegetarian and very delicious. Non Veg can be ordered from dhaba nearby on main road. (They deliver to this place also)
Tried Himachali Dham, a traditional wedding feast. It was excellent in all aspects and all of us loved it and the way it was cooked and served with love and care.
All 4 rooms were well maintained, clean and cozy. A few drawbacks were discussed with the owners and they took my suggestion very sportingly and promised to work on them.
The approach road is motorable but tricky. Unexperienced drivers must call them for guidance.
The views from the homestay is not much to talk about but views from nearby places was awesome.
Complimentary jungle walk and sunset view point was an icing on the cake.
Overall very enjoyable stay. Must visit place if you like quite places.

Nestled atop rolling hills, this establishment boasts an exceptional atmosphere complemented by impeccable service. The proprietor, an epitome of cool, extends unmatched hospitality that makes every guest feel at home. This venue is a destination unto itself; there's no need to venture out when all you seek is right here. Culinary delights and various services are executed to perfection. A recent family stay, spanning a few days, garnered unanimous praise from all ages. It's an idyllic retreat for children and a sublime escape for adults.

For starters, you get amazing hospitality by the owners Arun and Neeraj. You will feel as if you belong there.
It’s nestled among the Chail Wildlife Sanctuary with the mesmerising views of the villages and towns all around including Shimla.
The trail to the stay is also very thrilling and exciting, for all the off-roaders out there. Any vehicles can reach the stay.
The rooms are very clean and well built, almost feels as new.
Stargazing, bonfire, hiking and petting the doggos are a must. Good luck with not extending your stay over. :)

I stayed here during my solo trip and had a wonderful experience. The staff were extremely friendly and made me feel very welcome. The view from the garden is absolutely beautiful. A perfect place to relax and enjoy nature.
The food was also a highlight, very tasty, not too oily, and made with just the right amount of masala. It felt just like home-cooked meals from a clean, comforting kitchen. The entire place was very clean and hygienic.
Highly recommended for a peaceful and homely stay!

My recent stay at hideaway homestay was a delightful immersion into local hospitality and culture nestled in the beautiful hills of Chail near Shimla. The hosts Mr Arun Chauhan and Mr Manoj, their genuine hospitality made me feel like a part of the family while the delicious food was more than what was expected. It was a wholesome, fantastic experience.

The staff especially (Mr. Arun Chauhan) were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The rooms were immaculate and very comfortable. We also enjoyed the delicious meals and loved the convenient location close to major attractions. It is a small property located in the lap of mountains and surrounded with beautiful green forest. Overall very comforting.

5 stars seem too less for the experience that you get at this property. It should have been 10 stars.

Neeraj and Arun are both extremely helpful and caring. Hospitality beyond expections....
My kids just loved it....
