It is true that we love experiencing the luxuries of premium hotels while we are on a vacation, but sometimes, it is not only the luxuries that you need. This is because these hotels, after a certain point of time, can seem a little fake and unreal. And in those ‘sometimes’, we want the same homely and cozy feeling we get at home. That is where the concept of homestays comes in picture and saves us! They make you feel like home, they make you feel comfortable without any pretense, they make you feel relaxed and they make you feel real! Is there anything more you could ask for? So we have a list of best weekend homestays near Mumbai which will let you escape into a rejuvenating home away from home!
Fleetwood House In Matheran
Distance: 100 Kms From Mumbai
We all must have been to Matheran for just a single day trip as we always though there is not much to explore because of it being a No-Car Zone. Or maybe we were just too lazy to get out of our cars to explore. But this time we suggest you to walk up to the highest peak of the area which is called as One Tree Hill. Fleetwood House is located nearby which is a hub for animal lovers. The homestay, designed in a colonial way, has 4 bedrooms which are well-equipped with televisions and recreational games to make you feel like you are enjoying at your own home! The place also has a badminton court to give an energetic start to your day. Moreover, the caretaker is always available to take care of your needs.
