Just like Howard Schultz, the erstwhile CEO of Starbucks had once said, ‘When you’re surrounded by people who share a passionate commitment around a common purpose, anything is possible,’ Katie’s Homestay too is the sum-result of my parents’ passion for travelling and their commitment to give me a better life.

BRICK BY BRICK - THE STORY SO FAR
How my home took shape
Although our home was built very recently, my parents wanted it to blend with the other houses of the village and not to stand out as an eyesore city mansion. It took a lot of effort from my parents to convince the architect not to get carried away and stick to the plan of resembling a village home with flush interiors. The
layout of the house was meticulously done to minimise damage to existing mountain terraces and fruit trees during the construction. The property has 4 rooms that accommodate 2 guests each and a family room that accommodates 4 guests. All rooms have attached bathrooms.

RIGHT FROM THE FARMS
Enjoy Fresh Local Produce
I can definitely tell you the delight of devouring some fresh chicken. It’s tasty for sure. With the villagers growing different types of veggies, pulses, etc. it’s a habit that my parents follow of bringing home everything (AND
EVERYDAY) straight from the farms to the kitchen. And if I’m not feeling too lazy I accompany them to the farms too.

NOOKS AND CORNERS
The common areas
You have access to our entire home except the rooms of other guests. We have a spacious sitting room with a fireplace where you can enjoy a good book from my mom’s library sipping a cup of coffee. There is a television
here although I don’t recommend wasting your time staring at it. You can savour the meals in the dining hall or in the adjoining sit-out area enjoying the beauty of the calm environment of Hartola.
