Rustling Pines

The place is beautiful, nice accommodations, staff was polite and supportive. The view from the room is also pretty. Loved my stay at Rustling pines cottage!

Excellent hospitality, amazing view and
Relaxing environment.
It's located on the top of the mountain so make sure to keep necessary stuff before heading.

We are scammed as even the basic were not available in this property. They drove us 2km up in a extremely dangerous Humpty Dumpty road. Once you go there, you are stuck there.
Property was not cleaned, towels were not provided, no soaps in bathrooms, blankets are also not cleaned, no wardrobe or shelves, hot water not working in one bathroom, water leaking from roof our bedroom, toilet flash stopped working next morning,
Curtains were not there in living rooms, so it was too cold. Even a OYO hotel has basic facility to live there.
Kitchen is also dirty, they don't have proper cups, only steel cups were there. We had too drink tea in glass.
They don't know how to make paratha, we made it for ourselves.
We booked the property for 3 nights, but we left after first night as it was not in a living condition. It was a nightmare for our family. Even for student groups, you will need basic animities, which were missing there.
The marketing lady scammed us. The guys there seems to be simple and don't have much idea about how a homestay works. Please don't go there. Check the pics I shared for evidence.

The receiver was humble to receive us at 1 am and had to drive us through the pines for about 2 kms to the stay place. Stay place was quite warm and was arranged nicely for the visitors with the requested order for food. Overall a good experience staying there.

Ranjeet bhai is amazing host. Neena is a super cook. Both of them were great. Location is too good for people who don't want to stay at crowded place.

So, from where to start. Let see. Hmm. Yeah got it. If you are looking for inner peace ️ you will get here. Small trek you have to do to reach there, coz of course its on top of the hill. Very secluded and calm place. People who like to hide in the nature will love this location. People who like to fill the canvas with pine trees will find the best place in the trails.

You will find new friend name Ranjeet. He will help you to trek, to fun, to know what's the real Himachal is. He is a mountaineer.

I would suggest that, when you travel you should keep your likes and dislikes out of your mind. Specially in Himalaya. ️️

Thanks Ranjeet and Neena Didi for siddu. And please dont forget to meet "Geeta".

Hope this story review helps. Guten Tag

Peaceful destination for workation. Also best to experience local culture, had lot of fun with local kids. Very friendly guests. I always prefer such memorable location instead of touristy crowd. Also many unique trails to get lost in and explore.

Such a quaint and beautiful place to stay. The offroading experience to get to the location was a joyride in itself.

Also, the host was super duper polite and helped us organise our next day rides like a boss.

We were eleven people who could comfortably stay in the location and am sure it can accomodate more people.

There is a common area to smoke whatever you want to smoke. Also, the didi in the kitchen was super awesome in shopping for us and making whatever we asked.

Highly recommended.

Great place for nature and peace lovers.
Highly recommended for workation/Staycation.

Cottage is located on hill and surrounded by apple farms and pine groves. One can enjoy morning and evening walks through pines or can enjoy small trek by going down to Nashala village and climb back to place.

Property is new and well maintained.
Hosts Ranjeet and Nina didi are very nice, they will serve you daily with food of your choice which is nicely prepared.

Me and my wife stayed here for complete 2 weeks, it was very nice experience.

Great place with a nice host - Ranjeet. He's a smart and helpful guy who can sort anything one might need in the hills.

Tillashani, Naggar is an undiscovered gem of a place

Very Nice cottage, recently started. View from the rooms are very beautiful
Only problem is that this is a little too much secluded and isolated from rest of the village, on top of a hill. And it takes around half hour to climb down if you want to take a stroll. There are no shops or eating joints anywhere close to this place, and since it is a jungle area, you can’t go to out to walk late in the evening. So, if you stay here, you are stuck with having meals in the cottage only all the time, which is a disappointment.
Overall a good average experience, but could have been better if the owners had told us about the distance and location issue. We could have got more stuff to eat with us
Food was very tasty, and at very reasonable prices, rooms are also quite spacious and very beautiful

Since this is a very newly opened cottage, so I could understand these problems. Hope things become better in a couple years

You could surely try the resort out once, you will definitely get a peaceful atmosphere

Its a place made and surrounded with absolute love. From the views, to the food and people I met here made all the difference to the trip. Hearty thanks to Swapna, Ranjeet and Meena didi for putting the "home" in home-stay ️
Good internet connectivity for workations
The hosts organize various activities from hikes and treks to adventure sports
The kitchen is open to use for a very nominal charge.
Definitely staying here again! ️

Rustling pines a perfect place for vacation, stay and chillout. I personally recommend this place for one who visit Manali and like to stay in woods surrounded by pine forest and apple orchard. Loved this place. And the hospitality. Thank You Rustling Pines!

Beautiful place to stay at, away from the crowd, with a panoramic view of the mighty Himalayas
Don't miss to take a walk in the Pine forest, it's a really beautiful place to get yourself drenched in Nature ️

A serene coliving experience with amazing hosts and well furnished living spaces.

A great option if you are looking to be away from crass commercial tourist destinations.

Amazing location and fun crowd! Very pleasant atmosphere away from hustle bustle. Village life experience. We recommend totally
