Mid Conifer | Resort & Cottages

The route to this location is very bad. it looks like only 8-10km but we took 50min such is the road conditions. i don't want to discourage to use this cottage i will give my Pro's and cons you people deside. Con's- 1) Price is too high for this cottage. As the don't provide bathroom amenities (Shampoo and soap) and no tea/coffee complementary. 2) No power from morning 9am-5pm. 3) No room heater for such a cold place. 4) Name is resort but other amenities only cottage and the view. 5) Location is in such a place that don't expect you can see khajjiar and other sightseeing place and reach this location safely. Pro- 1) If you want to spent time with your partner and don't want to do sight seeing then this cottage is ok if you can afford the high price. 2) Location is the only thing we enjoyed and with that with our request they gave bonfire. 3) Food is tastly credit goes to the chef. I have booked this location thinking u can see sight seeing and can reach here and stay. After seeing the location i decided we can't travel far and come to this location to simply sleep. when i requested the owner he directly denied for two day or one day cancellation also. i have to book a hotel in khajjar and then leave to Amritsar for my flight as my flight was at 11 and we can't leave this location early in dark. You people decide you want a simple stay with nature or you have to do siteseeing then please avoid this so called resort.

The Location is super far from the main Dalhousie, they say it is 9kms from Main Gandhi Chowk, But the route for going was completely deadly. We reached Dalhousie Bus Stop at 2pm and contacted hotel staff, they didn't shared much info with us. Since the payment was made in full and It was peak time of season. We had to go for stay. We went after sunset and the route to Mid Conifer was so deadly, literally you will not see any single person or hotel or anything on your way, road was for single vehicle and very bad. Plus there was no network in the hotel. They don't have wifi facility as well. So during your stay you won't be able to contact anyone. They don't provide you a water of bottle as well for free. Not worth the money. And It was way far the main market in day light as well. We had to keep our luggage in Main market somewhere, because everyone in market suggested us not to go. It is way far, if you are going. Go light weight.

Pros- It was quite an isloated, peaceful place, nothing around. Beautiful cottages, as we were given family Suite. Amazing food which was really suprising. Staff was really helpful, friendly and very sweet. Mid conifer the name itself depicts the location "In the mid of the coniferous trees" with scenic around. Being a New year night, they had music and bonfire organised. Safety at its peak. Cons- The place is really far from main city, ask for the Guthri village. As dec month had chilled up our spine, we were in need of Hot water which was not easily available in our washroom but however the staff managed for hot water. Otherwise, there was nothing to be worried about.

The cottage is situated at good location. The view is amazing from here. But the bad part is...it is located deep inside where it difficult to locate. I suggest dont use google maps to reach this cottage it will lead you to some other place and it is very frustrating in hills if u r lost. My suggestion would be to first reach Gandhi chowk by asking route from local people and not to use google maps. Once u reach Gandhi chowk dalhousie then u can put the cottage location which is 8 Km from Gandhi chowk. That 8 kms is pure narrow and bad road and try to avoid this 8 km stretch at night it is really scary.
